- Comment on What do you guys suggest i should watch? 1 day 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 5 days 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 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week 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.

I agree about both “mysteries”. But I like the aesthetics of the show and feel like those to leads could develop a good dynamic. I hope those two were just introductory and the next mystery has some more meat to it.

Yep. Still great. Definitively a highlight of this season for me.
- Comment on Catch Me at the Ballpark! • Ballpark de Tsukamaete! - Episode 1 discussion 2 weeks ago:
My interpretation is that she is just clumsily flirting. Nagatoro I agree 100% with you, but here I don’t get even a whiff.

Yes, that was the one. Funny for about 3/4 of a volume and then increasingly annoying.

very pandery toward the current trend of waifu-who-bullies-you
Where did you get bullying in their interaction?

I think this is my favorite new show this season so far. I’m not caught up with everything at the moment to the final verdict is pending, but I have a feeling that this one will take the crown this season for me.

God dasmnit, I’m trying to remember the title of a LN that was more or less the exact same thing as this show. Oblivious guy from some super village can do everything and never once got wise that he’s overpowered because of his internal misunderstandings and inherent low self esteem while there’s not a single side character who can say something like “yo, you’re actually super strong”. That schtick in that LN grew stale extremely fast so I don’t expect much from this Bell Cranel version.
- Comment on ZatsuTabi -That's Journey- • Zatsu Tabi: That's Journey - Episode 1 discussion 2 weeks ago:
I feel the show is missing the same thing as her manga in the beginning there. A plot hook. After the first episode I’m willing to just file this under trying a quick tourism cash grab after seeing the secondary effects of Yuru Camp. It is missing the charm of Yuru Camp though. I’ll give it one more episode to see where they are going with it, but otherwise it’s a drop even though I consume a lot of Japanese travel shows.
- Comment on Maebashi Witches - Episode 1 discussion 2 weeks ago:
When I’m warming up to 3d scenes in anime thinking that they’ve become so good that I can look past them, this show comes around with the jarring cgi straight out of 2010. This would now need good story and characters to make up for it but It’s a miss there as well. The characters feel like 1 dimensional tropes and the conclusion to story arc this episode was “the girl needed a cheer”. Dopped.
- Comment on Aharen-san wa Hakarenai Season 2 - Episode 1 discussion 2 weeks ago:
Yep… Still love the show.

Nah, don’t worry. This is just a virtual avatar you’re seeing. In reality, there’s a book in front of the camera.

I like it so far. Don’t know about the premises though. Even if they find the guy with the cure the next day I assume it would be hard to get the antidote/cure to everyone in the world logistically in time. And that is if they don’t have to produce it first.
- Comment on The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold to Another Kingdom • Kanpeki Sugite Kawai-ge ga Nai to Konyaku Haki Sareta Seijo wa Ringoku ni Urareru - Episode 1 discussion 2 weeks ago:
So I should stick with it? I found the first episode extremely formulaic. I watched it with my daughter, and we both could predict every single story beat way in advance. The only thing that was surprising was that the sister didn’t seem like the evil stepsister trope from Cinderella.
If this was just the basic setup and is out of the way now after this episode, I’ll continue watching, but if this continues in this way, I’d rather drop it.
- Comment on From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman • Katainaka no Ossan, Kensei ni Naru - Episode 1 discussion 2 weeks ago:
I like it. The production quality was great and the fight animations are really good, which makes sense for an anime about a sword master. I’m happy that they didn’t skimp out here. The characters are likable enough that I put the source on my plan to read list.
- Comment on The Beginning After the End Anime Begins With Power-Point Type Animation 2 weeks ago:
Hmm. I expected more after I’ve heard a lot of praise for the source material. This first episode fell flat for me. It also didn’t help that this reminded me a lot of MT.
