Hmm, yeah. Better than the usual 6 or more months though

Wasn’t the recent HeroAca a simul-release?
- Comment on One Punch Man S3 Director Shinpei Nagai deletes his twitter account due to the pressure, calls out people who took his tweets out of context/exploited the staff's struggles for "rage-baiting" 1 week ago:
Why do people so often blame the actual people that worked on this? It’s so dumb
- Comment on The Apothecary Diaries Season 3 & Movie Teaser Visual 1 week ago:
I do hope the movie will be released worldwide at the same time

That’s rough. It feels really unfinished, but I guess it got the axe
- Comment on One Piece animator defends studio behind fellow anime show One-Punch Man, following backlash over season 3's lackluster animation 1 week ago:
It’s almost always the production committee. At the same time, J.C. Staff leadership is not blameless. The studio doesn’t have a particularly good track record. They keep taking on projects that result in lackluster to poor animation. Often many at the same time too (and I’m guessing for bottom prices).
Of course, blaming the actual animators is dumb and stupid.

Frieren has gone through so many hiatuses at this point. I’m assuming this won’t be too long either, like the previous ones

I fear for the use of AI translation. That’s how they’re doing the one-shots.

- Comment on [Meta] Proposal regarding post tags for c/anime and c/manga 3 weeks ago:
I personally think the current ones are fine as they are, though I do like your suggestion “Recommendation” instead of “RT/WT”. Maybe shorten it to “Rec” though, so it doesn’t take up so much space. “DISC” covers most use cases pretty well. By specifying it to “Episode”/“Chapter”, you exclude things like films, one-shots and specials. I suppose you could fine-grain it more, but I don’t really see the point tbh, unless we know it’s confusing people.

Sad it got the axe, but I enjoyed it while it lasted. An-san was a joy
- Comment on Summer Anime Season Wrap-up and Discussion Thread 4 weeks ago:
This season I watched:
- Dr. Stone: ended up being disappointed in this. It built further on an already shaky foundation and didn’t really deliver on it. Felt more like filler in the end.
- Dandadan: up until the Evil Eye arc it was great, but the episodes after were kinda boring and introduced a character I really didn’t like. Still fun though.
- Silent Witch: this was a fun one. Nothing special, but I liked it a lot.
- Sakamoto Days: same as last season. Pretty fun, though I’m not so much into the supernatural aspects, which I feel got upped this season.
- Gachiakuta: like it a lot, particularly the setting. Banger OP.
- With You And The Rain: delightfully relaxing. Loved every episode. Amazing OP.
- My Dress-Up Darling: good stuff, just like last season.
- Betrothed to my Sister’s Ex: nice comfort watch. Was a bit rushed near the end though.
- Clevatess: good fantasy anime. It’s building an interesting world that I’d like to see more of. It’s more than just a default fantasy rpg setting. Banger OP
- Comment on Summer Anime Season Wrap-up and Discussion Thread 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, you can definitely tell Shiro’s an early 2000s VN protagonist. Unfortunate to see it be a dealbreaker for you in the end, but fair. I think ufotable did what they could if you compare it to the Deen adaptation. If the world interested you, maybe Fate/Zero is a good one for you. That was my gateway into Fate.

- Comment on [Episode] Dr. STONE SCIENCE FUTURE Cour 2 • Dr. STONE: SCIENCE FUTURE Part 2 - Episode 12 discussion 5 weeks ago:
I didn’t like this ep. This whole season felt like filler. There’s hardly been any progression. We’re at pretty much the same spot as before this season, just with some more petrified people. The non-chalance of just reviving Xeno, who didn’t mind all of them being ruthlessly murdered because reasons, is wild to me. Xeno et all are irredeemable.
The whole “chased by soulless soldiers that are aching to kill bunch of teens” thing was completely unnecessary and over the top. It didn’t really add much to the story as a whole and the whole vibe of it felt really out of place.
I also disliked that part because the basis for it was so shaky already. My issue with the previous season was already the completely unjustified animosity towards Senku and co. Not in a “I dont like the justification” way, but in a “this is barely explained at all” way. Xeno and co attacked immediately in that season because… reasons. That’s the basis in Science Future p1 and that’s still the basis for the chase of p2, even though that’s not the goal of p2.
While watching p2, I just accepted that the basis for it was shaky, and took it for what it was. It was decent because of that, but this episode made me reconsider the whole thing again.

All because Frost couldn’t save her granddad, which was resolved the previous chapter.

I didn’t even watch half of the ones you mentioned haha. Of the ones you mentioned, I watched Silent Witch, Dandadan and My Dress-Up Darling.
Takopi scares me. I don’t do well with constantly emotionally heavy anime.
Rascal I wanted to rewatch S1 and the movie first, but haven’t gotten around to it.
Fragrant Flower I want to try, but sticking to the manga for now.

Haven’t looked at the fall season yet, but I really enjoyed the summer season. Lots of bangers

- Comment on What are the visually-best anime you're seen? 5 weeks ago:
No one does 3D graphics better in anime than Ufotable and KyoAni to an extent. If you want to find better 3D animation, you have to go west and look for the likes of Disney/Pixar.
I mostly agree, but I think studio Orange is missing from that list. They’re the only studio that has made great-looking full 3D anime.
Which brings me to one of my favourites visually: Land of the Lustrous. Gorgeous 3D animation and great action scenes. The reflective “hair” of the characters is only possible due to the 3D.
Other favourites are:
- Violet Evergarden and Liz and the Blue Bird: KyoAni at their absolute best.
- Monogatari Series: it’s not up there for animation (though it’s not bad at all by any means), but it is for its style.
- Fate/Stay Night Heaven’s Feel: absolutely gorgeous and crisp animation. Ufotable at their best (I haven’t seen Demon Slayer past 9 eps in of S1, so can’t comment on that).
- Garden of Words: the atmospherics and the rain are just gorgeous
- Comment on bâan: The Boundary of Adulthood • bâan: Otona no Kyoukai - Movie Discussion 1 month ago:
I liked this way more than I thought I would. Given the 18 minute runtime, I think this was great. It even got me a little emotional Could it have developed more of everything? Definitely, but I think this got everything across it needed. I would like to see a full film of this though. I’d be very interested to see more of the world. I think the SEA cultural influences are so cool. The Naga looks incredible.
Kevin Penkin’s music really elevated the whole thing. Man, can this dude write amazing soundtracks.

Is it possible to request a discussion through Rikka of one-shot episodes like bâan? It has an AL page and all.
- Comment on "Dan Da Dan" Season 3 Announced 1 month ago:
Not necessarily unlikely given this show’s more unique nature, but it’s not uncommon for character types like him to not really deviate much from this behaviour. I could be totally wrong though.
- Comment on "Dan Da Dan" Season 3 Announced 1 month ago:
Yeah that could work, but they’d have to change his entire character type for that. I’ve been burned with that before (Zenitsu from Demon Slayer).
- Comment on "Dan Da Dan" Season 3 Announced 1 month ago:
I do hope Kinta won’t be too reoccurring. That might become a breaking point for me.
