- Comment on [Episode] Dusk Beyond the End of the World • Towa no Yuugure - Episode 6 discussion 7 hours ago:Yeah, I think that’s the thing that kills me about this pivot to a romance story. The romantic chemistry just isn’t there. The Towa/Akira relationship was by far the most compelling romantic plot they have had so far, everything else just isn’t satisfying and it just makes you want to push Akira to find Towa faster. You know…instead of getting sidetracked constantly.

- Comment on [Episode] Dusk Beyond the End of the World • Towa no Yuugure - Episode 6 discussion 7 hours ago:This show is becoming more and more of a romance series first, anything else second. I think the main issue is that the leads just don’t have great romance chemistry. Akira is constantly telling them and everybody else that will listen that he doesn’t want to be in a romantic relationship with them. Meanwhile, Yugure basically just ignores him while demanding they get married…but then gets super shy if anything actually happens with Akira. Then Amoru acts like and is treated like a child that is a younger sister of Akira. Like…what kind of romance are they even trying to build between these characters? Episode 0 had a much more compelling romance narrative than anything they have put together since. At this point, my expectations for this show have basically evaporated into nothing. It has basically become a better animated version of My Wife Has No Emotion in a different setting.

- Comment on  1 day ago:Just a quick community note: this is technically a repost as somebody else shared this blog to the community here. However, this post is from the author themselves, so I am more than happy to leave this post up. Thanks for the contribution and OC! 
- Comment on  2 days ago:Yeah, you can post to the threadiverse from mastodon. The formatting is a bit specific though. - Post title should be the first line of your toot
- Then @-mention the community group (@anime@ani.social for example)
- Then the rest of the toot is the body of the post
 Another quirk is that if you try to share an image gallery from mastodon, only the first image will carry over.

- Comment on  2 days ago:So, I am going to remove this post because of how it federated over weirdly to lemmy, but feel free to update your formatting and repost. The issue is that the post on lemmy has no title, so it renders weird and people have no idea what the contents of the post is from their feed. To properly set a title for your lemmy post from Mastodon: - Your first line should be the post title
- Then @mention the community profile
- Then the rest of your post is the post body
 Thanks for your contribution and understanding! 
- Comment on [Chapter] Tokyo KINOKO: The High School Girl with the World's Lowest Ranking Social Skills - Ch. 8 3 days ago:This series has quickly become one of the funniest I’m reading. The big reveal at the end with her in dogeza was just perfect. Also, this panel of her friend floating away like Mary Poppins killed me.

- Comment on Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 44] 4 days ago:I did! I actually didn’t find it as grueling as I had heard it made out to be. That is most likely because I was able to watch all eight episodes over the course of maybe two weeks at most instead of waiting for each episode to release over the course of two months. I was honestly amazed at how they put so much effort into animating the same episode (roughly) eight times. They put way more effort into them than I thought since they were doing stuff like changing angles/compositions/lines/outfits, meaning there wasn’t that much they could just copy/paste from week to week. 
- Comment on Manga Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 44] 4 days ago:I have fallen so far behind on stuff this past week…so sorry about not chiming in on discussion threads more. So, these series aren’t ones that I just discovered this past week, but I found them a while back, but I don’t think I ever wrote about them (until now that is). If I did mention them before, then consider this a reminder that you should check them out! This is a silly and easygoing series about a dungeon in your typical fantasy setting. However, the adventurers will occasionally find odd items that they haven’t seen before, leaving them to figure out the function and use of them. Of course, as readers, we recognize these objects as items from our world. It can be anything from a plunger, to a hand-grenade, to various street signs. It’s a lot of fun! This is a pretty standard romcom, but it has been fairly well done. Basically, the MC reinvents himself with a new look and personality as he moves from middle to high school in an effort to become popular. The only issue is that one other person at his high school was also in middle school with him, the titular Kusunoki. However, she has also reinvented herself in the transition to high school, causing these two to form a bond. It’s fun, but it doesn’t really reinvent the wheel. I tend to let it build up a bit and then read it in chunks and I just caught up on it recently, so it is fresh in my mind. 
- Comment on Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 44] 4 days ago:To start things off, the shows I am looking forward to week to week has dwindled down to two at this point (but I will probably keep watching the third just because I am watching so few shows this season): - Dusk Beyond the End of the World - I mentioned in this thread last week that I was worried that it was heading into the direction of Metallic Rouge. Well, my fears are coming to fruition. I have been really disappointed by the most recent couple episodes. Fingers crossed that it gets back on track.
- Touring After the Apocalypse - This show has been delivering exactly what I wanted. It is a great example of a lighthearted slice of life trek through the apocalypse with just enough touch of melancholy that hits just right. I’ve been enjoying it a lot.
- Campfire Cooking Season 2 - Stable performance again this week. Elrand is great, and I am looking forward to dungeon diving in the future.
 Now…I was able to finish Haruhi this past week, including watching the movie. Some spoiler-free thoughts…it was fine. I do think that the movie was the best that Haruhi had to offer, but the whole show never really connected with me.

- Comment on [Episode] Dusk Beyond the End of the World • Towa no Yuugure - Episode 5 discussion 1 week ago:What the hell is happening? The first couple episodes promised a sci-fi, post-apocalyptic, travel series in search of Towasa. Instead we have taken a hard turn into some kind of love/mafia/incest plot? I don’t know man…I have no idea what this show is actually trying to accomplish with its story. 
- Comment on [Chapter] Akira Failing in Love - Ch. 58 1 week ago:I had misunderstood previously. I had thought that Akira was the one that hurt her ankle and that caused her to fall. I just read too fast I guess. There are so many glamor panels in this series that I sometimes miss text.

- Comment on Anime Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 43] 1 week ago:Yeah, as much as I like Zombie Land Saga, if you aren’t vibing with the idol storyline, then it isn’t for you. The show is an idol show first, everything else second. They do get into backstories of other characters from time to time, but it is always secondary.
