I’ve heard about Minami Lane being cool. I bought because that and the strike

I ABSOLUTELY did not know about that until your comment, where do you find these things? I am always down for charity bundles

Thank you for your efforts in running ani.social!
- Comment on Paparazzi 1 week ago:
Title now makes me wonder if anyone’s ever done a music video of the Lady Gaga song Paparazzi with Aya. Cosplay, MMD, art animation, whatever. But I suspect Touhou fandom is concentrated in Japan and I don’t know if American pop songs make it over there.

- Comment on I Released a Questionnaire About Video Game Preservation! 1 week ago:
I used to fill surveys on r/samplesize for fun, it was a mild positive of my day to come across one on Lemmy!
I do have some issues with some of the questions, spoiled for those who have not taken the survey yet.
Issues with survey questions
For “Do modern video games have too many micro transactions today?” giving our opinion and saying “I never paid a microtransaction” was mutually exclusive. It is possible to notice the amount of microtransactions in video games, and to have an opinion on whether that is a good or bad amount, without ever buying one yourself. Folks who never bought microtransactions might not choose “I never paid a microtransaction” because it is either that, or say if you think there are too many microtransactions. For “There is a possibility that access to your games could be revoked, as stated in the TOS,” I wasn’t sure what to put. I strongly agree that that possibility exists, so I was considering putting Strongly Agree. But I do not agree with that practice, so I also considered putting Strongly Disagree. I wasn’t sure what I was being asked to agree or disagree with here. Similarly, for “Prices of old video games may lower when a modern release of the same game is available to purchase,” I wasn’t sure if we were being asked if we agree that is a phenomenon that happens, or if we think that should be a thing that happens. Luckily I both agree that is a phenomenon that happens and that it should happen. For “Companies should make single player video games be released for a limited time, regardless if its physical or digital” I had no idea what was being asked at all so I just put Neutral.

- Comment on Football Manager 25 cancelled, as Sega shifts focus to FM26 1 week ago:
I’m not a football/soccer person, but I do feel bad for what happened here. I saw in the article a survey on your favorite management game with a Football Manager title as an option, how are these games if you look at them as management games instead of as sports game?
- Comment on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 hits 1m sales in just one day 2 weeks ago:
Every time I see a sequel I get curious about the first. KCD1 seems like something I have a 50/50 shot at either loving (roleplay!) or hating (QOL stuff, probably the combat), not sure which side I’ll come out on.
- Comment on Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 hits 1m sales in just one day 2 weeks ago:
I’m asexual, not aromantic, but thinking about this from an aromantic perspective I completely get wanting more close platonic relationships that don’t turn romantic. That would actually be inclusive, a lot of people try to put romance everywhere, and I get it! It’s fun to do! But aromantic people like to have representation too, and options to be friends but not romantic helps them feel represented.
Too bad this guy’s “checkbox insert” means it’s probably (I might be wrong) an “omg too woke” complaint and not a “hey platonic relationships are important too, don’t make every significant relationship romantic” for all the aros (or even non-aromantic people who think friendship is important as well as romance) out there.
- Comment on [DISC] Food Truck Owner Inside the Dungeon - Chapter 21 2 weeks ago:
Enjoyable read, thank you!
I wonder when that plot thread about someone not liking the food truck being a thing will show up. Or if I’m just misremembering, or misinterpreted something.

I vaguely remember reading these as a little kid, was not expecting to get reminded of it by an anime adaptation.
- Comment on "Vampire-chan Can't Suck Properly" Anime Adaptation Announced with New Teaser Visual 2 weeks ago:
I do think a lot of people online tend to forget teenagers use the internet when people express attraction. I distinctly remember reading a comment on Reddit about how the commenter expressed attraction to Joja Siwa online as a child, and got called a pedophile, and it made their same-age self worry that their attraction was pedophilia. (Them being a child at the time, they didn’t realize that attraction to a child isn’t bad if you’re also a child around the same age…) So thanks for remembering.
- Comment on Co-op campaigns are a rarity these days, and that should change 2 weeks ago:
Given the “people online, especially gamers, are antisocial losers with no friends!” stereotype, the very real issue of how difficult it is for adults to make new friends in some parts of the world, and that online there is no tone of voice or body language, I can definitely see how it is being read as a genuine complaint. Plus you can always find people with wildly differing perspectives online, which tends to completely deaden the “nobody would ever believe/say this, definitely a joke” reaction.

- Comment on I Want to Escape from Princess Lessons • Kisaki Kyouiku kara Nigetai Watashi - Episode 5 discussion 2 weeks ago:
Haven’t watched this, but judging from the reactions people are giving I feel like it might be a yandere thing that isn’t coming off as that properly? There’s folks with consensual noncon fantasies and all that who might be interested. What about it makes you say “trash” specifically, and if you are suggesting hentai is it because this anime gets explicit/fanservicey?
My tone might be coming off judgmental but I do not mean it that way, just trying to figure out if I would like to watch or not. I am an adult who understands and respects boundaries. I also enjoy messed-up problematic dynamics in fiction sometimes.

Now I’m curious where the story was headed in the second season that turned you off, but that would be spoilers…

- Comment on Frieren is a production marvel 2 weeks ago:
Hey, Frieren has been sitting on my to-watch list for awhile, but despite the name of that list, whenever I pick something off of it I actually tend to look for a manga first.
How would you say the anime and manga compare?

- Comment on [Discussion] Lala Lab ⭐︎ Gyaru, Science, and Youth! - Ch. 4 2 weeks ago:
Huh? I wasn’t expecting romance at all and your reply seems to suggest you think I expected it. What about the title implies romance? I definitely expected a gyaru, but no romance. A workplace comedy of working in an academic lab in life sciences sounds interesting, though I don’t have a background in it.

Hm. The title of this grabbed me, the actual manga I’m reading didn’t. I wonder if it gets better later?

I don’t have Netflix, but cheers for Cells at Work getting in front of more eyeballs! I watched the first season and finished the manga and several of the manga spinoffs. I really liked this show. Fun, educational, obsessed over it for awhile before moving on.
- Comment on [DISC] Have a Great Trip after the Credits Roll - Chapter 3 3 weeks ago:
Somehow I feel resolving not to ask her is a bad idea. Just because it was your decision!?
Not sure how I feel about the plot point of the resurrection spell and discovering a new angsty thing about it per chapter. I should like that in theory but somehow it feels like that formula isn’t being applied in a pleasant way? idk

Glad I gave this a shot.
I am a big fan of obliviously OP protags.
Not sure what the “desu wa” thing is though.
Wonder if we will ever get an angst scene about her getting kicked out of the house. Everyone deals with grief differently though, and I know some people shove it down and deal with what is in front of them, only for it to reemerge later, so no issues with not seeing a breakdown right off the bat.
- Comment on Manga Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 04] 4 weeks ago:
I’m kind of picky with what manga I’m willing to start, but almost anything I do pick will be something I enjoy. Really appreciate this community (as well as the anime discussion one, if I see an interesting-looking anime I’ll probably look up if it has a manga first) for making me aware of a lot more manga I ended up enjoying.
