Not legal advice. One of the fair use tests is if this work’s existence would redirect people away from patronizing the source material i.e. In Wikipedia, it’s called the “effect upon work’s value”. One can reasonably argue that a watcher of a non-parodic unofficial recap would forego watching the full work.

This made my day.

A new Lain release in our year of the Lord 2026? Nice.

Didn’t realize Yamada is the director. Hope I can watch this someday soon.

Hina learned how to use a legally distinct Kamehameha! The pictures in her room lol

I find it equal parts Urahara, Rick and Morty, and Gundam: GQuuuuuuX — the last one somewhat because of the title.

Your Lie in April - agreed with @cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com’s comment

Steins;Gate - I won’t spoil it. I’ll only encourage you to watch all episodes, no matter what.

You described how my first watch of YLIA went 😆

They should take notes on how F1 does this.

Yumemita beat the allegations that it’s good only because of Viola.

Lots to unpack here. In one episode, it managed to elaborate BOTH Yuno and Nonoka’s backstories in a satisfactory way. Koharu reminds me a lot of Kasumi, though her passions are outside of band, so supremacy only lasted a year. Yuno was the only one serious about music, so she developed attachment issues with being part of a band. In other words, she quit MewType assuming that the others would leave it soon. Where she’s wrong is that her bandmates this time genuinely want to stay.

Nonoka is down worse for Yuno than Miyako is for Viola. Did not see that coming.

It took an IRL meeting with everyone to more or less resolve their intra-band conflict. The impromptu songmaking session by the fire is great, and I look forward to hearing it later on.

Arale’s diary is probably the Chekhov’s Gun that would defeat Viola’s manipulations. She did not mention that she writes to it everyday for nothing.

I can safely say the show balanced the kirakira-dokidoki of the OG 3 seasons and the tension and high drama of AveMyGO. I missed my kirakira-dokidoki.

Depends on your location:

The Apothecary Diaries

Your Name

Chainsaw Man

Dandadan

A Silent Voice

Bocchi the Rock

Takopi’s Original Sin

Spy x Family

Fullmetal Alchemist

Your Lie in April

Witch Hat Atelier

Reminder that JoJo used to censor smoking in the TV broadcast and not in the Blu-Ray versions.

This era’s version of “Free Bird is playing in the radio, officer.”

If there’s ever a generational hatewatch in anime it’s this one, and it’s making bank for the studio and the author.

Peak is back in the menu, boys and girls, and it’s not the locusts.

The last scene about offering medicine to the hungry peasant… this is probably a Soylent Green moment.

This is a certified maigo experience

No. Media is media and must be preserved, whether we like it or not.

To summarize, the episode sets up on how Nonoka, Miyako, and Yuno’s conflicts would be resolved. I have respected just how mentally strong Arale is, and also Ritsu once she escaped Viola. Still waiting for what would happen to Viola and how would she use Miyako’s rant.

Banner: Yukina would kill to be in Arale’s place here.

Cute girls posting losses

I also love the ending theme and its music video on YT.

Classical Evan Call and Chihara Minori W. It’s more obvious that it’s them working together if you listen to the full version.

This is mine. By these metrics, Say I Love You and Akebi’s Sailor Uniform are the two I love most.
