- Comment on [Episode] Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2 • Sousou no Frieren 2nd Season - Episode 4 discussion 1 day ago:
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

- Comment on [Episode] Journal with Witch • Ikoku Nikki - Episode 4 discussion 1 week ago:
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.

Welcome back Toji. Great Kill Bill reference. And that punch to Naoya’s face was so satisfying, god damn
- Comment on [Episode] 【OSHI NO KO】Season 3 • [Oshi no Ko] 3rd Season - Episode 2 discussion 2 weeks ago:
What an amazing OP. They’ve really outdone themselves this time!
This episode is an example of something I appreciate about this series, namely the fact that instead of just focusing on the main plot, it takes its time and gives us a glimpse into the showbiz industry, showcasing its dark sides and explaining different roles people have there. It’s something that most idol shows usually ignore but I find it quite interesting, even if it’s mostly superficial
- Comment on [Episode] Sentenced to Be a Hero • Yuusha Kei ni Shosu: Choubatsu Yuusha 9004-tai Keimu Kiroku - Episode 3 discussion 2 weeks ago:
The last two episodes were still really pretty but I’ve got a feeling that not much has happened. Apart from Norgalle showing what an absolute chad he is, we didn’t have much character development and the plot hasn’t really moved forward. I’m not saying it’s bad but compared to the first episode it feels kind of hollow
- Comment on [Episode] Journal with Witch • Ikoku Nikki - Episode 2 discussion 3 weeks ago:
You know that feeling when sometimes you watch something and nothing particularly remarkable has happened yet but you get the impression that you’re experiencing something special? I get that from watching this show. It’s just so good. My eyes are glued to the screen all the time.
And the conversations in this feel so natural. It’s so refreshing compared to what you usually see in anime. I hope this show delivers in the long run because it had a superb start. - Comment on I don't understand how could anyone like reze after all the things she did, am i alone in this? 1 month ago:

I also bought a guitar after watching Bocchi. I always wanted to learn an instrument and this show just started the train of thought that led me to buying one, so it wasn’t the sole reason but it was the spark that I needed. Coincidentally, I even bought a Pacifica, just like Bocchi (my is cheaper one, though)

So after all Haru had a child as a vampire. This show turns everything I know about vampires from other media on its head.
- Comment on Takopi's Original Sin • Takopii no Genzai - Episode 6 discussion 6 months ago:
This was an incredible show. My AOTY candidate for sure. The ending may have been a little bit rushed, especially the part where we see Marina overcoming her prejudice against Shizuka so suddenly, given how faint girls’ memories of Takopi were and how different it was from the pacing the show got us used to over the last few weeks. But I still think it was a great ending. The suffering is still there and they didn’t live happily ever after, but they lived. Sometimes it’s good enough just to have someone who listens to you and understands.
- Comment on Call of the Night Season 2 • Yofukashi no Uta Season 2 - Episode 4 discussion 6 months ago:
Well, they didn’t say anything like that but it would be pretty fucking weird if a vampire could get pregnant. What would be the point of making offspring via sucking blood?
- Comment on Call of the Night Season 2 • Yofukashi no Uta Season 2 - Episode 4 discussion 6 months ago:
So if we assume that Kabura isn’t lying, that means that either Hana is Nazuna’s twin sister Nazuna knows nothing about or she’s her mother. That would probably mean she had Nazuna before she became a vampire.

this looks like a flaming pile of trash
Maybe it does but I appreciate how they portrayed Renako as an introvert. They don’t show her as a person who is scared of people and doesn’t want to be around people but as someone who enjoys being around others, just being drained of energy while interacting with them. So often people confuse being an introvert with having a social phobia or hating people so it’s satisfying when the show gets it right.
I also hope they will not put a blame for that slap on Renako. Mai totally deserved it. If you think about it, this was practically an attempted rape.

The true horror in this episode wasn’t the body penetration nor the monster in the woods. It was that lady at the counter
