It’s been a while so I can’t remember much of the details anymore. I do think there’s some more politics in there somewhere but I’ll have to revisit the manga. Maybe a second reading will reveal it.

Haibane Renmei (kind of)
Not a comfy watch but the world has this nice charm to it.

I really loved the filler episodes of Paranoia Agent. I actually liked it more than the whole series itself lol
- Comment on Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 44] 3 days ago:
Around Vol. 5, Chapter 35 onward

I suggest picking up the manga from where the first season ended if you want to continue on with the story. Season 2 has a lot of changes that weren’t good and disappointed a lot of fans. The manga kind of has its own problems too IMO but it’s a better experience overall.

Nice review. I read Chi no Wadachi a year or two ago and I agree it can be difficult to read.
Considering the theme of the blog though, I think the review should read more into the politics of Chi no Wadachi. There’s a mention of incest which I think is also present in Chi no Wadachi. The author (Oshimi Shuuzou) likes to add perversion in his works and I feel there is a sense of eroticism between Seiichi and Seiko but its “horror-eroticism”. It’s interesting to think about.
- Comment on [Rec] "REDLINE" is one of the best and bizarre animated movie I have ever seen. 3 weeks ago:
I really have to see this. Haven’t found much time to watch long series(es?) lately but movies have kind of scratched that media itch. Finished Mind Game yesterday (incredible movie btw), maybe I’ll watch this tomorrow night.

I finally got the courage to finish Madoka Magica. I always get stuck at ~episode 4. I can see why this is very popular and sometimes compared to Evangelion. It’s going to be up there in the my “masterpiece” tier of anime.
spoiler
I really like how Madoka is essentially the definition of what a magical girl is, a symbol of hope. The writing is incredible.
I like Mami.

I think a lot of people know and try to build outside of .world already. So I think we can leave it as is.
- Comment on Policy Updates and Feedback (+ a few other things) 5 weeks ago:
Oh I think I understand now. Ani.Social avoids blocking instances (as much as possible) so users can curate content for themselves. There’s no plans to block Lemmy.World right now.
I think our very minimal blocklist (it’s literally just threads.net) is one of the instance’s strengths.
- Comment on Policy Updates and Feedback (+ a few other things) 5 weeks ago:
Do you mean Piefed? Nyaa.Social isn’t really ready yet but I hope to get it out by November. Not everyone will want to migrate their communities so Lemmy will run as it is in the meantime.

I watched Bakemonogatari first (well, the entire Monogatari Series) then Bunny Girl Senpai. I was surprised by the similarities. I prefer Bakemonogatari just because it’s more enjoyable to watch thanks to the unique animation style.
Go watch the rest of it :D The rest of the series doesn’t follow the same formula or structure as Bakemonogatari

Yeah I haven’t updated Photon in quite a while. Updated just now! Thanks!

Do you mean searching the post using the URL (such as ani.social/post/17919648)? It doesn’t seem to work for Alexandrite and Tesseract. It works for Photon though.
I don’t think it’s a config issue because it also doesn’t work on the developers’ deployment too: alexandrite.app and tesseract.dubvee.org

Interesting. I don’t have an Apple device to test Safari but I’ll do some research on what’s going on.
- Comment on Did the entire server get put on Alexandrite by default, and how do I get off Alexandrite and go back to default Lemmy UI? 2 months ago:
It’s still using default Lemmy-UI. Just tested on both my phone and PC with Firefox and Brave. What browser are you using?
Alexandrite is at alexandrite.ani.social/ani.social
- Comment on Content from !guns@hexbear.net hasn't updated/federated here since 6/22/25? 2 months ago:
Hm, yeah that’s weird. It might be a caching issue? I made some changes to the site’s cache settings some time ago so I’ll take a look there. In the meantime, you could try clearing ani.social’s local cache.

- Comment on /c/selfnotes, y/n/m/waaa? 3 months ago:
I thought of something like this for nyaa.social like c/nyaa or c/random. But to keep the local feed for ani.social clean from non-anime stuff, probably not.
- Comment on Content from !guns@hexbear.net hasn't updated/federated here since 6/22/25? 3 months ago:
I don’t think hexbear.net federates with ani.social. Sometimes there are posts that federated from time to time but I’m not sure exactly why.
I can’t see anything obvious like on the respective /instances pages.
IIRC, they’re using an instance whitelist so if ani.social isn’t there, then we aren’t federating.

I picked up Kawaihara-senpai after seeing the cover here. It’s too cute.

I like how these trailers are always like “I want more” then everything becomes chaotic. The gameplay does feel like that.

- Comment on Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun! 3 months ago:
Why is Persona 3 Portable more expensive than Persona 4 Golden? Why is SEGA being so stingy with only a 20% discount. Another 5% (on the SALE price) if we use the Persona bundle. Why SEGA…? It’s the oldest and ugliest one. Why…
- Comment on Happy 2nd Birthday Ani.Social! (+ PieFed announcement) 4 months ago:
No, you’ll have to make a new account to use it. PieFed federates with Lemmy though.
- Comment on Happy 2nd Birthday Ani.Social! (+ PieFed announcement) 4 months ago:
Yup, it should work just as if it were a Lemmy community (minus the tags and wiki)
- Comment on Happy 2nd Birthday Ani.Social! (+ PieFed announcement) 4 months ago:
I think I could try that but from what I understand, a CDN is really important for PieFed.

Cool I should really read this some day. I’ve read Flowers of Evil and Blood on the Tracks. Really like Shuzo Oshimi.
- Comment on Happy 2nd Birthday Ani.Social! (+ PieFed announcement) 4 months ago:
Yup! They already federate. Because PieFed is a bit ahead, there are a few features that might not federate to Lemmy like post flairs It should improve as Lemmy adds those features.
