I dropped Champignon Witch. It started out really interesting, but once the actual plot started going, I couldn’t bring myself to care.
I did pick up a new one from this season: The Invisible Man And His Soon-to-Be Wife. 4 eps in and I’ve been grinning ear to ear. What a lovely and adorable anime
Oh, same. I do still buy their blurays as well
Yeah, they’ve been teasing them for a while now, but at this rate they’re barely going to be relevant
I read Sensei’s Pious Lie over the weekend.
It’s… alright. It definitely gripped me with its heavy subject material, but in the end I don’t think it knew what to say, but some of what it did seem to say seemed almost harmful.
I can definitely get behind the victims’ behaviour as some form of trauma response, but I don’t understand the rapist’s fiancee. She found her best friend beaten to a pulp by him and knows what more he did, to other women as well, but she decides that she still wants to be with him and loves him?
I do like that this manga didn’t place the blame on the victims for not reporting him, but I don’t know what to feel about him reporting himself. Kind of feels like saying “Just wait it out”.
So many plot threads were also started and subsequently ignored or left unfinished making the ending even more unsatisfying.
I also picked up My Favourite Vtuber Is Scary IRL. A fun little manga.
Also continued with some new volumes of other manga I’m reading:
Buy the stuff you enjoy physically
Sadly, most of this is Crunchyroll nowadays too…
Sadly not. The ones that used to exist, merged with Crunchyroll (RIP Wakanim). HIDIVE exists if you’re in NA, but their library is not as big. But alternatives don’t matter if most anime are exclusives anyway.
Even in the remote chance that this is true, they wouldn’t have had any reason to fire the missile if the US didn’t attack, so the blame would still lie with the US.
Man, this anime is tackling so many societal and relational issues you’d think it’d get messy, but it’s dealing with them excellently.
I love this anime so much.
wish the manga wasn’t on indefinite hiatus
Didn’t the mangaka do this with season 1 too though? I’m guessing they’re pretty involved.
They’ve also had many indefinite hiatuses so far though, none of them lasting very long. I’m not too worried
Holy shit. Gilgamesh’s treasury getting locked up and him taken out like that is wild. Holy shit.
Ishtar is sick and a good deal different from the FGO version. I guess a result of not having Rin as a vessel
it’s so unrealistic
The entire school staff definitely. A teacher or 2 would’ve been much more believable.
Then again, the entire premise seems a bit a bit over the top to begin with.
Damn, a school that’s supportive? In my manga?
Seems like, after the break, the mangaka has found where to go. Curious to see where!
I can’t access the link, but I hope this bypasses CR.
I also think ranked choice may discourage some from voting since people may not know each of the choices very well.
Yeah I wondered about that too. I left out the ones I didn’t watch from my voting list, but that feels a little unfair
Total turnout this year (~25 votes) was down quite a bit compared to last year (~90 votes).
Damn, that’s very low. I figured it’d be higher, given the amount of upvotes.
The private-message voting system was new, and I don’t think it seems like it was popular.
Yeah, it wasn’t great tbh. The whole markdown list was a bit tedious. Can’t do it on a phone well either. But also, I find private messaging very unintuitive on Lemmy. I opened my laptop to fill it out, but it took a while before I even found the chat thing (in the notifications area apparently).
I found it interesting that Maomao absolutely ran away with the voting for best Voice Acting, but she didn’t even make the nomination list for best character. In fact, Shisui received more nominations than Maomao for best character.
I think Maomao is great, but I think Shisui meant more for this season than Maomao did.
Nice! Only one I didn’t watch on this list was CITY. I didn’t care that much for Nichijou, so CITY didn’t really catch my attention either
That’s sad to hear. What he and his wife founded in KyoAni is a positive force in the anime industry that I wish more studios were like. I hope Hideaki Hatta’s son will continue in this way.
Fucking gross. Why is this guy not in prison?
apothecary diaries s2
I loved how they did that. The longer it went on, the more I started to suspect it and then came the reveal. Brilliant use of foreshadowing. It’s not for nothing Shisui was had more votes for character of the year compared to Maomao.
