Nope. Fuck that. They’re either get torn to shreds in the next episode or I’m out.

I would rather spend time with or talk to a person who has never read a light novel than one who likes a genre that I despise.

I dislike the driven archetype that is desperate to to win. Had some of them in my life for a while and they suck the fun out of everything. I had a good idea where this was going, so I was going to drop the show, but that end made me reconsider. Not at all what I expected.

A-1 is one of those coin-flip studios for me. I either absolutely love a show or I hate it with a passion.

Is it me, or should the title of this post have been in all caps?

thanks. Joshiraku was what I was thinking of.

It reminds me of the anime (can’t remember the name atm) where a group of girls just sits in the school’s tea club room, chatting about random topics. The topics in this episode fell flat for me though. I guess it’s one of those lost in translation shows. I’ll give it a episode more.

Still the funniest anime and it’s insane to me that we get sequels to the two top comedy shows in the same season after so long. Now if there were a second season alf Asobi Asobase I would start to question reality. The animation quality was also a good step up season 1. I can’t wait to see how the addition of the yandere sister will break up all the existing social interactions for season 2.

Well, they should base it on You Shiina’s artwork. Everything else is just wrong.

Oohhh boy, do I hate the new art style.

Finally a new Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf!

<RVing My Way into Exile with My Beloved Cat: This Villainess Is Trippin’ Volume 3> - Obligatory trip to a far-off country in this fantasy world that cosplays as a Japanese theme park. Complete with all the same names, foods, clothes, architecture, myths, etc. It’s something that has to come up in every fantasy light novel. It’s the rule.

<Nia Liston: The Merciless Maiden Volume 7> - First part of the tournament is done. Finals next volume.

<By the Grace of the Gods: Volume 16> - You have to wait several months for a new volume and then it’s basically just filler with nothing happening. You know how Bilbo Baggins said he feel like “butter scraped over too much bread”? That’s how I think about the plot here. Something that could have been 2 or 3 paragraphs has been stretched into a full volume.

<Who Killed the Hero?, Vol. 1> - I don’t think it’s good, but the narrative composition is an interesting break from the norm. I applaud someone doing something different in a genre where most series feel very same-y otherwise. I just wish it were also good at the same time.

The scene with rain stood out.

Here’s my hot take: Hitori Bocchi is the better Bocchi! There! I said it!

Finally the new Nichijou season we deserve!

A incredible beautiful show (the lighting is s-tier) but the thing standing out the most was how expressive the character’s movements are. Reminds me of K-On in how each character (so far) has their personality reflected and elevated in the way they move.

That’s the type of beyond the pale premise that makes me fall in love with anime all over again.

There is a “reincarnated as a bath” series. And I think there was already a reincarnated as panties series. I don’t remember if that one was a novel or a manga.

absurdly beautiful MC. Couldn’t concentrate on anything else.

The pedophile trader wasn’t needed either. Though, I expect him to turn out as a good guy who really just wanted to treat her well.
