Very limited activity on Lemmy right now.
The manga for this one is surprisingly solid despite the overused premise. There’s a lot of work involved into building Elma (and Luce) into powerhouses, so a lot of battles are very close with them barely scraping by due to good team work.
If the production is solid this will definitely be a fun watch.
Favorites for this season are Pseudo Harem ED, Oshi no Ko S2 OP and Tower of God S2 OP.
Honorable mention to the Nokotan OP for the memes, and for the evolving credits for Tower of God S2, really like how they are a “season so far” summary.
Are they twins? just very close in age?
Blood siblings born less than one year apart, which is why they are in the same school year. Their last names are different because their parents divorced and one went to live with the father and the other with the mother.
Keeping this a secret is due to some kind of family issue, but I don’t think it’s been properly explained in the manga yet.
I really missed this series, glad to see it back even though the first half of S2 was kinda of a mess (in particular in pacing).
And this episode felt much better paced and directed than the previous cour, so I’m hopeful it’ll be a fun ride.
“S2 please” is my overall opinion of this season. In no particular order, I want more of:
Honestly one of the best seasons I’ve followed.
Besides the ones mentioned above I’d like to give a mention to “Brave Bang Bravern”, a completely crazy and amazing mecha series by Masami Obari that more people need to watch.
The VNs go like this:
Original Trilogy:
The Fruit of Grisaia -> The Labyrinth of Grisaia -> The Eden of Grisaia
They all got anime adaptations with the same names. I hear they are a fun watch but cut a LOT of content, in particular from the first game (12 episodes for a VN with an average length of 75h on VNDB).
Phantom Trigger:
Grisaia: Phantom Trigger Vol. 1 -> Vol. 2 -> Vol. 3 -> Vol. 4 -> Vol. 5 -> Vol. 5.5 -> Vol. 6 -> Vol. 7 -> Vol. 8
Takes place in the same universe but it’s an indepentent story, it only contains a few references to the original trilogy.
From the descriptions on Anilist, I believe the first movie adapted the first two volumes of the VN, and the second movie adapted the third volume.
I read some chapters from the manga, it’s one of those “popular girl x unpopular guy” stories. Slightly better than the usual because the MC leans towards “capable yet unmotivated” rather than “bland”.
I’d say give it the usual 3-episode trial if you enjoy this genre.
Livechart.me can usually help find out which streaming service has the series in you region.

This one in particular I think is in Hidive, and they aren’t available in a lot of regions. :/
And I just found out they got Aoi Yuki as Maomao’s VA! Getting even more hyped now.
So far only only started a couple:

This is awesome news.
