No not even close. The first season adapted only 2 volumes of the light novel which has currently 18 volumes.

That’s a whiplash.

I was so scared for how this would play out, but with the Bento-Buddy in the picture, I think I’ll have a good idea of where the show is going. I mean there is still a chance they Oreimo me in the end but here’s to hope.
- Comment on Rekishi ni Nokoru Akujo ni Naruzo • I’ll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History - Episode 2 discussion 4 weeks ago:
It’s the type of trash that I really like but the love interests thirsting for a kid half their age is off-putting. I hope this will be put more into the background.

There isn’t a thread for Dahlia In Bloom so I’ll post here how much I HATE the voice of Volfred. He’s supposed to be the super strong and tough soldier that stands at the vanguard of a monster hunter division that laughs death in the face. And then they somehow decided to go with a breathy shota twink voice for him. I hope they haven’t ruined the LN for me.

The track list made me chuckle.
- Comment on Mayonaka Punch - Episode 4 discussion 3 months ago:
No, definitely wouldn’t have made it better. But I still feel unsatisfied with such an important point just omitted. Aya died in her mid 60s so there could have been a lot of possible explanations given for her passing, but at the same time it’s young enough that I am left wondering what the reason was.
- Comment on Mayonaka Punch - Episode 4 discussion 3 months ago:
They could have made it even worse. They didn’t say why Aya passed away at such a young age. Let me spin you a story:
Since she obviously didn’t make it big time and only played a single concert in a shady club in NY, she got disillusioned when hear dream didn’t come true. She found solace in drugs and an abusive boyfriend who pimped her out. One of those customers beat her to death in a drug induced rage when she tried to steal some of his drugs for her own addiction. The club owner only has her guitar because she pawned it off early on. As to why it was special to him… he was the boyfriend how pimped her out and he’s remorseful for indirectly causing her death. 3 days after Fu brought back those memories a he gets found by those band members we saw in the episode with an overdose and a suicide note saying just “sorry”.
- Comment on Isekai Shikkaku • No Longer Allowed in Another World - Episode 3 discussion 3 months ago:
I loved the first episode. It felt so fresh for the isekai genre. But now by episode 3 I’m over the gimmick and bored. The introduction of those cliche villains at the end there wasn’t helping either. The demon daughter (I assume) was the only thing I found interesting this episode.
- Comment on [Oshi no Ko] 2nd Season • Oshi no Ko Season 2 - Episode 4 discussion 3 months ago:
I really like that Aqua got humanized. So far he only came across as this calculating revenge machine without any human emotion. To me he’s always been an unlikeable character. But showing him now actually suffering from losing his mom, makes him more likable to me. It’s not nice to say “hey, I like you better with PTSD” but it is what it is.

I will never understand how anyone can see that kind of CGi and then say “okay, let’s go with that”. I mean, it’s still too good for that trash of a series but damn it’s bad.
LN spoiler
Also see how everyone in this world is either a rapist, murderer, torturer, manipulative OR a good looking female with the purest of souls? Let’s just say this is a reccuring theme.
- Comment on VTuber nanda ga Haishin Kiri Wasuretara Densetsu ni Natteta • VTuber Legend: How I Went Viral after Forgetting to Turn Off My Stream - Episode 2 discussion 3 months ago:
I had hoped that they would get rid of the vtuber model in real life thing they had going and would explore more about the world of vtubing with all the positives and negatives that entails. As it stands it’s just the setting as a background for cheap alcohol jokes and feels incredible disingenuous to the vtuber fandom. I actually feel kinda pissed off by it, so it’s a hard drop for me.
- Comment on [Oshi no Ko] 2nd Season • Oshi no Ko Season 2 - Episode 3 discussion 3 months ago:
As a self entitles source reader snob I often shit about anime adaptations of titles that I love. This whole arc with Abiko is so relatable, especially her hate for deviations from the source. But I will try to be less harsh in the future now that I understand better how those changes come to be.
- Comment on Madougushi Dahlia wa Utsumukanai • Dahlia in Bloom: Crafting a Fresh Start with Magical Tools - Episode 2 discussion 3 months ago:
Hopefully we’ll get a taste in the next episode.
I suppose we have to wait for episode 4 for that. I like the slow pace though. As a source reader it’s nice to see an adaptation that isn’t rushed to hell and back for once.

Some unsorted notes:
- Penkin’s gonna Penkin
- I’m intriegued by the world building
- Daughter is in the living room on a discord call with her friends playing Elden Ring and I’ve passed throught he room on the way to the kitchen screaming “CURSE YOU BAYLE!!!” at the top of my lungs. Has absolutely nothign to do with the episode but I thought I was funny and wanted to tell someone.
- Was the teacher real? Why the memory erasure. I didn’t quite get the reason.
- What’s wrong with her pants? That’s bothering me more than it should.
- I like the visuals/art style.
- Comment on Mayonaka Punch - Episode 1 discussion 4 months ago:
This is a lo tmore entertaining than I thought it would be. I can see this becoming one of the few shows that I’kll keep watching all through the end.
- Comment on Isekai Shikkaku • No Longer Allowed in Another World - Episode 1 discussion 4 months ago:
I love every frame of this. I think I found my anime of the season.
- Comment on VTuber nanda ga Haishin Kiri Wasuretara Densetsu ni Natteta • VTuber Legend: How I Went Viral after Forgetting to Turn Off My Stream - Episode 1 discussion 4 months ago:
MC is basically Yukihana Lamy from Hololive who started out like MC but dropped the good girl act after the introduction of alcohol. She has her own brand of Sake by now (which even won a bronze award at an international wine competition. I wouldn’t be surprised to see something like this reflected here further down.)
Hikari is Oozora Subaru (different Gen but Hololive as well) and the game she played is a real one that Subaru played.
There are a lot of other references like the software used for example, and most likely a ton of others that I missed since I follow JP vtubers only via clip highlights or special events.
- Comment on VTuber nanda ga Haishin Kiri Wasuretara Densetsu ni Natteta • VTuber Legend: How I Went Viral after Forgetting to Turn Off My Stream - Episode 1 discussion 4 months ago:
I’m unhappy with this to an absurd degree. The references clearly show that they know the scene. But why do they completely skip the whole concept of the person behind the screen being different from the character on the screen? Why do we see her vtuber model in the IRL parts? There even was the whole 3d sequence with the spinning face which was presumably designed at first to show off the IRL character looking different from the onscreen model before someone decided that the people watching are too stupid to deal with a single character having 2 completely different looks. And now we have a IRL character running around with their vtuber model looks and costume. As someone deep, deep into the vtuber rabbit hole this pisses me of more than I can put into words.
I also don’t know how funny this is to someone not familiar with the people parodied here. I could imagine they will have the same experience watching this as I have watching OPM.
- Comment on Isekai Yururi Kikou: Kosodate Shinagara Boukensha Shimasu • A Journey Through Another World: Raising Kids While Adventuring - Episode 1 discussion 4 months ago:
I was hoping for a cute isekai from a parent’s POV but this is just generic isekai slog. It’s not exactly offending in any way so I might keep watching anyway, but it’s the type of show I have to remember that it exist from week to week.

Kirin! KI-RIN! Not Deer!
- Comment on Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan • My Deer Friend Nokotan - Episode 1 discussion 4 months ago:
Always up for another bonkers comedy anime. The world needs more Hinamatsuris, Sabagebus and Asobi Asobases…
This reminds me the most of AhoGirl. I liked AhoGirl well enough but I get the feeling that this show will also be 100% carried by that single character with the rest of the cast just being there to setup gags for Deer Girl.
- Comment on Tsue to Tsurugi no Wistoria • Wistoria: Wand and Sword - Episode 1 discussion 4 months ago:
So correct me if I’m wrong:
- Regarden Magical Academy = Hogwards (magic school where elitists are thrown together with “lesser” students for some cheap drama)
- Will Serfort = Harry Potter (basically the underdog the elitists are looking down upon but who is actually the most special)
- Sion Ulster = Malfoy (elitist classmate with a entourage as the basic antagonist for MC)
- Colette Loire = Hermine (honor student friend of MC)
- Edward Serfens = Snape (antagonistic elitist teacher bullying MC but probably turning out to be a good one in the end)
- Workner Norgram = A mix of Hagrid and Gumbledor (basically the faculty staff that is a supporter of MC as a counter to the antagonistic one)
- Comment on Ore wa Subete wo [Parry] Suru: Gyaku Kanchigai no Sekai Saikyou wa Boukensha ni Naritai • I Parry Everything - Episode 1 discussion 4 months ago:
It’s one of the better generic ones so far with very few points sticking out where someone could hit their toes. Pro: MC works for his skill and doesn’t get it presented on a silver platter. Con: MC is completely dense and oblivious to his actual strength. I hope that this will resolve quickly and it won’t turn out as a running-gag that overpowered MC thinks he’s the weakest. I hate this trope so much.
- Comment on Elf-san wa Yaserarenai. • Plus-Sized Elf - Episode 1 discussion 4 months ago:
To me, this is a desperation show. This is the show I would expect the only person to watch it is either a person with a fat fetish, or a person who has already watched literally everything else.
Yeah, but you don’t cater to people with a fat-fetish by having the plot be basically “diet and work out so you can look good again”. It’s so strange.
