For the first half of the episode you could almost forget that you’re watching JJK. Higuruma’s introduction was phenomenal. Also, everyone is always glazing the visuals in this show, but I would like to draw attention to the the soundtrack. They did a great job here as well. The part that plays during Amai’s flashback from when he met Itadori for the first time is really catchy and will land on my playlist for sure. I often listen to OSTs from the previous seasons and this one will be no exception

Ah, so I was wrong about it not receiving security patches but it does look like the development stopped and I doubt that it will resume anytime soon given the financial woes of Matrix Foundation

Yep, Tuwunel or Continuwuity seem to be the only reasonable alternatives to Synapse right now. Both are forks of Conduwuit. Tuwunel is the one that was marked by Conduwuit’s author as THE continuation of Conduwuit, and it has some corporate backing. But apparently Tuwunel’s maintainer is a jerk, and after your standard open-source drama community gathered around Continuwuity instead, and it’s the latter that seems to be recommended everywhere whenever someone asks for a Synapse alternative. Anyway, either of them would be better choice than dendrite at this point.

Any reason why dendrite was chosen? It seems to be no longer in development anymore, I’m not ever sure if it’s receiving security patches. Seems like Continuwuity would be a better choice if you want something lightweight

I’ve almost finished it too. My experience with this show is quite similar. I generally don’t like stereotypical romances so I was actually surprised when it turned out to be quite tolerable. As for its production value – the VAs performances were very good, the animation was above average for a show of this kind, but nothing impressive compared to some currently airing shounen series, so I wouldn’t say it’s on par with the best ones of this season when it comes to that. However, all the backgrounds were really impressive (apart from the sea in ep14 – that looked uncanny, like a real footage slapped with a filter) so if you’re a background art connoisseur, this show is definitely worth checking out.

I barely write anything about this show but only because I have hard time to type out all these feelings it evokes in me. Every week I’m equally amazed by the quality of storytelling and how all technical bits support it so well. That ending got me crying 😭

I love how supportive Honda is to Nishi. And she keeps landing those great lines. She’s so based 😁
This show has such a great chemistry between the whole cast and every character is so fun in their own right. I was grinning all the time.

I think this was the best episode aside from episode 1. The flow was more natural and it was finally something different from the continuous bashing of mindless monsters. There was a fight too but this time there actually was some tension. Also Xylo’s fiance seems like an interesting character.

I like that Kana managed to pick herself up without any interference of a knight in a shining armor. That would feel so cliche.

I’m pretty sure the movie Makio recommended was Fried Green Tomatoes. They don’t really even try to hide it much. It’s pretty clear that the outline says FriedGreen

Things certainly can go awkward when you’re living together for months and then decide to have a special outing. Minds go blank because it seems you’ve talked about everything already. Stark fumbled at almost every point of the date. Yet, in the end, it seems that both are happy with the outcome.
I always wondered where do they hold their belongings. Turns out Frieren’s suitcase has some sort of a pocket dimension.
Stark is growing as a fighter. This time he wasn’t afraid of the monster. His legs only gave up because he was afraid to catch a stray from Frieren 😅

Fun episode but there was too much talking during Kirara’s fight. Some monologues were unnecessary, for example I don’t need an explanation from Kirara that Fushiguro guessed right because I already can see that on their faces. Episode was already dialogue heavy because Kirara’s technique is complicated and hard to explain, there’s no need to make that any worse

Great episode, probably one of the best in the series. Finally Aqua is getting back on his tracks. I really liked yet another scene of his mental breakdown. I will never get bored of these. Unfortunately, there’s also some more suffering for Kana. Girl just can’t stop losing

I already knew that Souta Ueno is someone to keep an eye on after seeing Gimai Seikatsu, and that was the main reason I gave this show a shot. With Shiboyugi he proves that he isn’t a one time wonder. I’ll definitely watch whatever he makes next

Well, you certainly made it look like a clanker output. All the signs are there: enumeration, lots of links to some random-ass websites that are supposed to explain some basic terms nobody needs explaining, emphasizing something at the end of the statement. This is how clankers write

Another great episode. I wish we had more stories like this, where you can see that the author respects his viewers intelligence, where characters feel real, and there’s no cheap drama that tries to coerce you to feel emotional while forsaking any subtlety. This is like a breath of fresh air

I like it when Frieren touches the themes that are seemingly forgotten in our real world, like this time for example, it’s about leaving the world better than you found it and doing the right thing even if it doesn’t bring you glory or benefits you personally. It always leaves me with this warm feeling inside. Really nice episode.
