Thanks for the info. I think I’m okay with that and will continue watching.

No, only watched season 1 of the anime. Why? Something coming up that I should be aware of? If this is a Usagi Drop situation, I’d rather know beforehand.
- Comment on Summer Anime Season Preview Discussion and Thread Requests [2025, Week 26] 2 days ago:
Oh, yeah. I remember now. Well, I give it at least one episode and see what impression that scene makes to me and how much I like the rest around it.

Summer season is deadly for me. In the last couple of years I have only time and drive to finish a hand full of shows each season and this time around there are way to many for me that I consider “must watch”. Then there are a bunch that I read the source material of and want to see how it gets adapted. And then there are the shows that just seem to be made for me going by the synopsis. It’s going to seriously eat into my other activities. It’s a first world problem, but a problem nonetheless.

Heartwarming episode. I loved the appreciation collage Reina made for her friends.

I don’t think the new teacher was necessary if she’s just repeating the same “esteem” joke as the OG. I would have liked a different personality from a new character, especially since the esteem running gag is running a bit thin for me already.

Just a quick reminder: this is a anime about cameras. Just like Grand Blue was about diving.

Beach episode with a heartwarming end.

It think the disconnect here is what we consider “sad”. To me that event was “horrific” or “disturbing” and left a lasting and negative impression. To me that wasn’t a “eh whatever, it’s sad but shit happens” situation.

Not gonna lie. Seems like a bad faith take to me.
But okay, let’s elaborate. :) Wouldn’t you agree that there is a singular event in the movie that stands out both tonally and narratively. A event that most movie watchers would find surprising, shocking even, and might take offense with? I mean I’m sure there are some cinematically literate geniuses that read all the minute foreshadowing and then felt elated when their predictions came through, or some psychos that really get their kinks in that type of content, but “generally” speaking.

Okay, I’ll bite. If you have seen the movie and someone says to you “I don’t like it because of the thing that happens in it” you’re telling me you have no idea what they mean? No idea whatsoever? And the best answer you can come up with is “because it’s not happy”?

Spoilers for the plot of the movie. If you have to ask you haven’t seen it.

Hate the movie. Not because it’s bad, but because of the thing.

- Comment on What do you guys suggest i should watch? 1 month ago:
I recommend AnoHana. It is also a drama but with a splash of supernatural instead of romance.

What a sweet episode. I hope that announcer player ship will sail.
- Comment on "Star Wars: Visions" Season 3 Slated for Fall Release, "The Ninth Jedi" Standalone Series Announced 2 months ago:
Adding my recommendations (just because):
- Tattoine Rhapsody (episode 2): K-On! if Hokago Tea time was employed by Jabba the Hutt.
- The Village Bride (episode 4): Like an mix of an TNG episode and the Eupha arc in Metaphor:RePhantazio
- Lop and Ocho (episode 8): Star Wars coded Family drama. The best episode in my opinion.

It’s the same as “Redo of Healer” and “The Hero Laughs While Walking the Path of Vengeance a Second Time”. At least in anime form you’re not forced to read the deranged thought processes of the characters.
My main problem (apart from the general low quality) with those 3 series is that the META of the story indicates that the authors see this as normal and acceptable. It’s hard to explain because it’s the intent between the lines. It’s not portrait as something bad the character do, but glorified as if it’s the righteous thing to do. If regular power fantasies are written for introverts that feel powerless, these three are written for those of them that are fantasizing about burning the school down with the classmates inside. You know the type that looks at school shootings and think “yeah, they had it coming”. Or to stay anime specific, those that think burning down an animation studio is the right thing to do because they stole their idea.

One of my all time most hated light novels I’ve ever read. I lack the vocabulary to fully explain how much I hated it. I think the closes thing would be “sawnay” which is the phonetic spelling of the Hebrew word for biblical hate. You know Old Testament shit. That’s how much I hate that series.

Something along the lines of “be nice” or “don’t be a dick”. Very broad, but really just a kinder way to say “use your common sense” and “don’t piss me off”.

How awesome would it be if, by the end of the season, the song was sweet and light and she had a partner?
There are few things in anime that I love more than when openings change with plot progression.
- Comment on Anne Shirley - Episode 2 discussion 2 months ago:
I would like to know what anime only watchers think of Ann with an e? I’ve read the book it is based on and the original anime was a childhood anime of mine, so I have a preconceived impression of Anne and I’m wondering if I wouldn’t see her as emotionally manipulative if this were my first contact with the story.

Great frist episode. I feel a bit like they shoved the product placement a bit too blatantly in your face but other than that I really liked it.
- Comment on Catch Me at the Ballpark! • Ballpark de Tsukamaete! - Episode 3 discussion 2 months ago:
Another good episode. With this the show cleared the 3 episode hurdle for me and will surely be one of the few that survive throughout the season.
- Comment on Aharen-san wa Hakarenai Season 2 - Episode 2 discussion 2 months ago:
OMG the gaming references in the first half. I was constantly looking out for Isabelle making out with DoomGuy in the background but I absolutely did not see the Ryu Ga Gotoku reference coming. It’s are that I actually lough out loud, but that shout with the Kamurocho gate and the iconic Kazuma suit did it for me. In the shot with Kaneda’s bike they should have brought in the slice somehow to make it complete. I’m unsure if that futuristic city was supposed to be Neo-Tokyo (like the bike suggests) or Night City to stay within the gaming theme. But then I thought the neon yellow jacket would be a must. Anyway, as an avid gamer I was enjoying this episode immensely.
