Okay, first turn off is the anti-social edge lord MC. Then there is the way he’s surprisingly perceptive towards the ulterior motives of the king and his group, but seems to immediately trust the blond knight blindly. Maybe the anime skipped something here in his internal reasoning, but this stuck out to me.

“Occupational hazard” is going to be my go to excuse for everything for now on.

I really dislike those one-dimensional comic villains. I hope this was a one-off to get the girl to show off her abilities.

not sure about the LN which I’ve not read
So far, this is true to what I remember, though I actively try to forget as much as I can about it.
- Comment on [Episode] Touring After the Apocalypse • Shuumatsu Touring - Episode 1 discussion 1 day ago:
I like that there is no outright explanation for the apocalypse and they sprinkled some mystery breadcrumbs. So far I have:
- Mt. Fuji erupted
- rogue military AI
- talk of radiation
The timeframe is also a mystery for me. Depending on whether MC has “visions” or “memories”, it’s unlikely that the decay has progressed so far in what little time has passed based on her age. Now, if it’s not memories but visions of the past it’s a different story. But in that case she might just as well be in the distant future. At least that would explain why there is so much decay and why she has an android sidekick. The only question in that case would be where and how the sister from the pictures fits in. But maybe she and the sister are androids as well, with the sister being one early models from before the apocalypse and MC being a 200 years later model developed in the shelters.
I’m intrigued to find out.
- Comment on [Meta] Proposal regarding post tags for c/anime and c/manga 1 day ago:
I agree with the others so far. It’s fine as is in my opinion. I agree with the notion that every post is a discussion, so it feels a bit redundant.
- Comment on [Episode] Shabake - Episode 1 discussion 3 days ago:
I have absolutely no idea what this is going to be after the episode. I know the setting but I couldn’t tell you what genre it’s going to be. A SoL with yokai? Bit bloody there at the end for that. Maybe a detective show where Mc has to solve the murder with his cute yokai sidekick? But there wasn’t any indication that MC is good at that. I’m completely stumped and it’s never a good sign when a show can’t establish a clear genre after an entire episode.

I like MC a lot.

It’s a big too simplistic for my taste, but I hope this was just to get the romance out of the way for as fast as possible.

Turns out the far futuristic show is more of a fantasy show than the fantasy shows this season (so far).

I kinda drifted off there listening to Debby Drowner.
- Comment on [Episode] Let’s Play • Let’s Play: Quest Darake no My Life - Episode 1 discussion 5 days ago:
I turned it off in the middle because I got bored. And after watching half an episode, I still have no idea what this is supposed to be about. Starts off with some fantasy setting, then turns out it’s just a multiplayer game. Then it’s about MC making a game before it turns to some office drama complete with a passive-aggressive boss. I finally turned it off when the male side casts (including this passive agressive boss) started to hit on MC.
- Comment on Summer Anime Season Wrap-up and Discussion Thread 6 days ago:
I have just a few points regarding last season:
- Secrets of the Silent Witch is what I consider a perfect adaptation. That’s what I wanted the Bookworm adaptation to be.
- Fuji from With You and The Rain is easily the most attractive character I’ve ever seen. It’s absurd how much of “my type” she is. And she is a writer on top of her looks and personality.
- Grand Blue season 2 wasn’t nearly as funny as the first
- Comment on [Episode] Ruri Rocks • Ruri no Houseki - Episode 13 discussion 6 days ago:
Interesting CGDCT show with stunning visuals and lovable characters. If there had been some more story to tie the “rock of the week” together it would have been awesome.
- Comment on Fall Anime Season Preview Discussion and Thread Requests [2025, Week 39] 1 week ago:
You’re not arguing my point. Whether the writing is good or bad is just an opinion. It doesn’t matter. Some like it, some don’t. My point was that the influence NGE had on the entire industry (and some more industries around it as well) is undisputed and verifiably a fact.
ps.: That “woah giant robot fight” argument doesn’t work in a series that has very little giant robots.
- Comment on What are the visually-best anime you're seen? 1 week ago:
I don’t have a one-fits-all pick for visuals so I’ll break it down into different sub-categories. (I also get to cheat this way and pick several)
Line art: Violet Evergarden
Composition: Hyouka
Cinematography: Wonder Egg Priority (early on at least)
Artistic style: Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!
Atmosphere: Haibane Renmei
Choreography: Cowboy Bebop: Heaven’s Door
Compositing (not to be confused with “composition” above): Sound! Euphonium
Background art: Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash (RIP Hidetoshi Kaneko)
ps.: OP gets an updood for Akebi’s Sailor Uniform. It’s one of my 10/10 and is criminally underrated.

Well, as the resident grandpa here, let me tell you of the good old days: Evangelion was groundbreaking. It shaped the definition of what anime is and can be and its influence can be seen everywhere even today. I know you whippersnappers are easily entertained by flashy light effects and bright colors but there is no question that without NGE the anime industry wouldn’t be half as big and popular as it is today.

They lost me a bit with the whole “voice” thing. But at least Ruri seems to have found what she wants to do in the future.

TF? Don’t know why they privated it. Maybe it was posted too early and they will release it again later. Here’s an old teaser in the meantime

I’m okay with isekai, fantasy races and magic. But I draw the line at a big-breasted elf girl not getting a man regardless of how rotten her personality is. Some things my suspension of disbelief just can’t overcome.
- Comment on Sekiro - Shadows Die Twice Anime 1 month ago:
I’m only interested in the end product. I really don’t care what tools they use to get there. If it’s entertaining, it’s entertaining. If it’s shit, it’s shit. I’m a simple guy.

It’s what I consider my one and only 11/10 anime.

Haibane Renmei.
- Comment on Sekiro - Shadows Die Twice Anime 1 month ago:
Very fair point. I’ve finished the game several times and am looking at the anime as some fan service just to see scenes animated that I’ve played before. You know the kind where you shake your disinterested SO’s shoulder and tell them they have to look because of what’s happening next. “Don’t look at your phone! You have to look what happens now” That’s too cool!"
