It’s one of my favorites of all time. Highly recommended!

This is one of my favorite anime of all time. I haven’t really been able to find anything that can capture the same feeling. There are two that I have found to be the closest.
- Kino’s Journey - another anthology series following the titular Kino as they ride from country to country in some kind of eerie version of our world that has devolved into a collection of city-states rather than nations. There are two adaptations, adapting a different subset of the novels. I suggest the second one for new watchers and then the first if you want more.
- Natsume’s Book of Friends - follows a boy, Natsume, that can see yokai that others can’t. He inherits some stuff from his grandmother and learns that she could interact with yokai as well. He goes around doing yokai of the week things to learn more about her. Overall, this one is a lot warmer and feel-good of a show.

I’m wondering what anime they’re actually talking about?
It will be whatever some Christian lobbyist group complains about. Given the state of Texas, that will largely be anything with LGBT themes.

Yep, absolutely!

Thanks! I am primarily working in a lab today and haven’t really been able to stay plugged in.

The girl from The Ring might need a television, but Mary just needs a fax machine. I like the old-school hit counter on her site.

So, I haven’t gone back and checked, but if memory serves, this Delta backstory comes from one of the LN extra chapters while the restaurant stuff is actually part of the mobile game story (roughly, they haven’t gone into enough detail to say whether it is exactly the same as the mobile game story yet). This helps explain why Delta wasn’t really too torn up about murdering one of her brothers in the John Smith arc…because she had already done so in the past.
In the LN, I remember a bit more detail about how she had started hunting to provide her mom more food, but her brothers kept taking the kills to claim credit and earn clout. Sara tried to honor her mother’s wish that they get along by not fighting back against her brothers, until Sara’s mom passed. Then, all bets were off…
I don’t remember the detail about her picking up her speech pattern (nano desu) from misinterpreting her mom, so I suspect that might be manga original. If so, it’s a great touch. It is a small way in which Delta continues to honor her mother all these years later.

Another wrinkle in one of the most tangled webs of relationships out there. Chapters 19-20 are the flashbacks of Sora and Miya. However, in chapter 20 it does have Mahiru start out sick as well and there are two beds in the nurse’s office. Poor Miya, turns out that she wasn’t anyone’s crush in the end.

I think I would be perfectly happy with this series if there just wasn’t any dialog and I just got to look at the pictures. Outstanding stuff.

This series continues to impress. As a grad student, I have had more or less this same conversation with multiple undergraduates that were also interested in pursuing a graduate degree. It’s one thing to find a field interesting (mine was physics), but it is a whole other thing to become super-super specialized in one tiny part of that field for 5+ years while making next to no money. Some of those students I spoke with did ultimately end up pursuing their Ph.D., but several others have gone on to do other things. Some notable ones are one became a marine biologist, another founded a non-profit, and one a medical doctor.
This conversation is exactly what Shinji needs to hear before diving into graduate school. Huge credit to the professor here, and for the author to depict this kind of conversation and force the introspection that Shinji needs.

The misunderstandings with Tsuki are one of my favorite recurring gags in this series. I knew what was coming as soon as she approached him on the couch, but I was not expecting a monster-Hana to show up at the end.
- Comment on [DISC] The Moon on a Rainy Night - Chapter 40 2 days ago:
I think guitar totally fits Rinne…I can see it. Also, it looks like Saki is tired of waiting for Kanon to figure out her feelings. I’m looking forward to this photography arc.

The little sister is really the MVP of this series so far.

I am way behind on a lot of series…but I am hoping to catch up soon. There have been a number of series that have wrapped up recently, so I am probably going to try to find a couple new things to pick up in the near future after some binge reading to catch up on other stuff.

I have personally been some combination of sick, traveling, and busy the past couple weeks, so I haven’t been very active in these threads. I have fallen way behind most things this season. The only thing I have managed to keep up with has been City the Animation, and I have absolutely loved every second of it. I am hoping to try to catch up on a couple shows this week, but I am still struggling with a lingering illness, so time will tell.

I feel you. There have been a rash of series I have enjoyed come to a sudden end recently. I guess its time to start poking around for other series to pick up the slack.

Basically impossible for this to end in a satisfying way at this point, but I have enjoyed the characters a lot. Yukihira tapping into her inner otaku was nice this chapter.

What is “down” really if you think about it?
