I am of two minds with this spoiler. This either makes or breaks the character depending on how it’s handled. Fromt he top of my head I cannot think of an instance where it turned out to be good when a “mysterious character” was suddenly given a main role treatment. (looking at you Star Wars franchise).

Is that the LEGENDARY YAMADA TAE front and center on the poster?!

Think of all the horror anime monsters and Nanaka still has them beat in scariness.

Okay, my predictions were off by a couple of light years.

What a colorful new character.

Not even remotely enough. I’m not happy.

Nazis co-opted the sign for a Buddhist temple and just flipped it around. A mnemonic would be that the arms on the swastika are pointing right (as in right-wing) and the Buddhists are pointing left.

Has anyone seen Nukitashi The Animation? Or “Bizarro Shimoneta” how I call it? It’s an ecchi show (skirting the line on hentai really). Think how in Shimoneta every bit of erotica is forbidden and the protagonist fights to bring it back. In Nukitashi it’s a complete reverse and everyone is fucking everywhere and the protag fights to save his virginity. The humor plays just to the extremes like in Shimoneta (just flipped) but the animation goes really hard. They have put a real animation budget behind this ecchi gag show that isn’t even streaming on most services. It’s a miracle.

I mean, Iori is a man of impeccable taste. Nanaka and Azusa are clearly overshadowing all the other girls.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Ruri has some dwarf mixed in. And a bit of dragon as well.

I guess my prediction that Seika was the girl who accused him in the real world was wrong. I shift my prediction now to the blond girl.
- Comment on Ruri Rocks • Ruri no Houseki - Episode 3 discussion 2 weeks ago:
Easily one of the most beautiful shows of the year. The “galaxy in a cave” scene was almost as stunning as Nagi there at the end.
- Comment on What anime has the best romance? - July 2025 2 weeks ago:
My favorite is Ore Monogatari!. It’s less reliant on drama than most other romance shows and the main couple only need 2 episodes or so to get together.

I can’t start rewatching Strawberry Marshmallow without binging every episode in one go. It’s just not possible.

I’ve asked for beach episodes without fan service for years, but now that I finally get one I feel somehow dirty. Like I’ve seen something that I wasn’t supposed to.

Lamis pretty much had him there in the end.
- Comment on Clevatess • Clevatess: Majuu no Ou to Akago to Kabane no Yuusha - Episode 3 discussion 3 weeks ago:
Now I’m happy that I dropped that show early on.
I don’t mind dark and gritty, but I very much mind it when there is a prolonged torture porn to make make something dark & gritty. We got it the first time, the girl is mistreated and raped for her entire life. No need to show it a second and third time. And really no need to throw in the miscarriage to make it even darker. We would have looked forward to the revenge part of the story without this already. Writing like this pisses me off so much.
- Comment on Clevatess • Clevatess: Majuu no Ou to Akago to Kabane no Yuusha - Episode 3 discussion 3 weeks ago:
Before I watch it, someone tell me: Does the poor girl get her revenge on the rapists/slavers? Or does at least Clevatess get revenge on them FOR her? Because that last episode disturbed me so much that I won’t even watch this episode if there isn’t some comeuppance.

Let me guess. Sitting around a table for 9 minutes planning a beach excursion -> surfing for 4 minutes -> roll credits.

- Comment on Crunchyroll Accidentally Reveals They've Been Using ChatGPT for Sub Translations 3 weeks ago:
That’s a field I can answer in a professional capacity (my work involves translations for the EU for almost 20 years now). MTL is a great tool if used by a translator. A tool that provides a rough draft for a human translator as a starting point. If used as such, it vastly (I cannot stress this enough) speeds up the translation process without losing the quality of the translation.
CR, on the other hand, seems to use it as a replacement for the human translator instead.
Personally, I feel very conflicted about this. Obviously, I want good and accurate translations as a best-case scenario. But between human translators using the platform to inject their own views and agendas into the script, and broken and faulty MTL, I take the latter.
