IT WAS REVEALED IN THE SECOND EPISODE

I’ll admit I haven’t consumed a lot of Magical Girls stories, but

formula that you can predict

Yeah, I’d say it’s quite predictable and not what I’m looking for.

Steins;Gate

Ave Mujica

Sound Euphonium S3

Takopi’s Original Sin

If there were any plot twists, I must have missed them. But basically, nothing surprised me.

Attack on Titan

Full metal alchemist brotherhood

I will honest with you, these two series have some of the more predictable twists I’ve seen.

That’s a teaser for the next human partner, right?

I don’t know how to out the spoiler tag, sorry.

Shinsekai Yori

This is actually a surprisingly uncommon trope. I can name multiple anime with the same twist:

Having seen all these anime beforehand made the twist kinda predictable.

female-to-female

idk why but this silly little gag made me laugh so much.

Not as much as the mochi-pounding though. That shit was glorious.

Since when?

Dude, you read my mind.

I was going to nominate this exact screenshot as the episode banner.

Yessss this episode is what I’ve been waiting for.

Yuno and Nono finally felt like they are part of the main cast instead of the supporting characters.

The two songs in this episode sound good too - the one from Yuno’s old band, and the song they just came up with - even if they weren’t fully presented to us.

We could title it… Hmmm…

How about “The Saga of Tanya the Evil”?

Anyway, can’t wait for the (what seems like a) false flag.

Banner nomination: wicked shot

bloody hell, Tanya

Last week, I checked out Though I Am an Inept Villainess since it topped Anime Corner’s weekly ranking.

I found it to be a very entertaining watch, though I’d say the Anime Corner voters overhyped it. Nevertheless, I’d be following it for the rest of the season.

I also tried Ranking of Kings. I made it through 14 episodes (out of the 23 episodes) before giving up on it.

If I have to sum my experience in one line (or one picture), it’s this:

I can’t stand manga that’s well-made and nothing more.

Like, the animation is decent, and there were some minor twists early on to make the story a tad more interesting.

But that is all. It’s just a plain old cookie-cutter vanilla story and nothing more. In other words: it’s boring.

It was so disappointing, considering its high rating on AniList.

I checked out TS-Reincarnated Beauty Netora Reiko Wants to Be NTR’d per @Essence_of_Meh@lemmy.world’s recommendation.

standing ovation

Thank you so much. I haven’t read trash this spicy in a while since A Complicated Sibling Relationship 4-Koma.

This is why I love manga. I just don’t see unhinged plots like this anywhere else.

Give me moar!

This episode is a piece of art:

river in manga form

I hope this won’t be yuri bait. Let there be something more goddammit!

Nana’s confession

One thing I am confused about is: when did Elinalise have Sylphy’s father / mother? After the memory loss, right?

What were the circumstances back then? Or is this approaching spoiler territory?

Luca is …

Yeah, but consider this: yuri >>> straight vanilla

I’ve only just binged this anime and caught up to the latest episode, so here’s my theory: Shu Gabi is the mastermind, isn’t she?

Heck, I suspect that Keigetsu’s parents’ suicide was staged; they were actually murdered.

You made me wait a whole five minutes.

Wow, they actually nailed the timing. That sequence was 5 mins long indeed.

Peak fourth wall break.

Banner nomination:

May require NSFW blur, but worth it: every (straight) men’s dream 🥵

@rikka@ani.social

IMO this doesn’t belong in !animemes@ani.social. Try !anime@ani.social?

Using an electric attack was the correct decision.

Ah yes, Pokemon logic.

I guess Miko’s father and Francois (Miko’s father’s dog?) chose to stay instead of passing on so that they can protect Miko’s mother.

impressed by the strength of your hatred

Imagine what you could accomplish if you turned to politics…

Instructions unclear; reenacted the holocaust

Easy: Journal with Witch

I’d say it portrays life in general realistically, and that includes adult life of course.

I do not remember why Motoko’s hair changed color.

Holy shit, I didn’t even realise until you mentioned it.

Netora Reiko

Peak naming

This doesn’t make sense.

Nope, why?
