Next season looks promising. Lots of good shows to look forward to: The promised neverland season 2, The final season of Shingeki no Kyojin, The rest of Kingdom S3, Dr Stone S2, Slime S2, Doupou Cangqiong S4, more Doulou Dalu.

>>35069School days. I just reached the 6th episode and it seems to be some sort of psychological horror instead of the drama I expected. Thinking about dropping it not because it's bad, but because I'm not prepared to watch the horrible train wreck that's obviously approaching.
My two complaints are that there's too much ecchi(I hate ecchi), and a lot of important text isn't translated. When characters send texts or pass notes to each other I have to rely on my absolutely meager japanese skills if it's something simple like "Let's go meet at the park after 6" or pause and open my dictionary if it uses more complex kanji. That's super inconvenient.

>>35162It does seem really good and original. I just do not have the fortitude to survive 12 episodes of an evil villain MC emotionally destroying his gf. At episode 6, which is where I quit, I was already getting highly disturbed and not in the horror way, it was in the "absolutely not comfy at all" way that makes me feel like taking a one hour shower and sleeping for a whole day.
No.35171
Have you noticed a trend in anime towards less conflict? I just watched kuma kuma kuma bear and it was amazing that they actually managed to create a fantasy anime with even more OP character and less plot tension than previous entries like that slime show or that succubus with a shield. Everything is just offered up to the MC on a silver platter without having to expend any effort.
Do you think this says something about the viewer base that we demand less and less plot tension each season? I have to say even though I was bored through much of the show and had to skip forward I found it comfy and watchable while sometimes things that are objectively better than this anime tend to lose my interest. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with my short attention span and general laziness. This show takes zero effort to watch and comprehend. I find myself drawn more and more to that sort of show.

No.35196
>>35172She's only sort of a mary sue, it's mostly just that she has insane plot armor. Like eggs exist and are super expensive but somehow no one has ever thought of farming chickens before? And cheese exists but it just hasn't really caught on yet? And of course her literal armor and all the other ridiculously convenient things that just pop out of nowhere for her with zero effort. It's kind of like if a normal person who was just fucking around got an insane cheat code to life which is what makes it fun. The only thing that fucks it up is how she was some sort of day trading stock genius at the start. It would have been better if she was just some normal neet video game addict, not a self sufficient genius one.

just started the orphen remake, I don't remember what the original was like but the MC this time is being a whiny little shit with a nee-san complex and the fourth episode was some worthless school days flashback crap with a mean gurl going around sadistically hitting and threatening the boys, I deleted that episode about 6 minutes in, not sure if I'll watch the rest of this mess, it probably gets worse

Sorry, not dead, just lazy.
Last season:
Taishou Zamurai:
Very solid anime about aging gymnast. Runs through themes of going to the next generation, expectations and retirement and also motivation. Builds up well and stays relevant for the most part. That talking bird though.
100-man no Inochi no Ue ni Ore wa TatteIru:
Not bad actually. Super inconsistent tone, but it works well for contrasting the elements. Somehow. But it's pretty chuuni. PRotduction is fine, and the story looks like it's going completely mad. I will say that it was fun. A fun show is definitely worth someone's time.
Munou na Nana:
First episode has a plot twist but it gets pretty forumlaeic after that. It's fun, and there's some twists - It stays unpredictable but not in a good way since you're just waiting for the twist every single time. Oh here it is, not surprised. Twists only work if they're a surprise. If you're actively waiting for it, it's not a twist but just something they don't tell you until later. Still that said I recommend this since it's fun the whole way through.
Maoujou de Oyasumi:
Cute, that's about it. Makes me giggle about how soft and nice everything is and how pointless everyone's struggles are. Except the princess, of course. Worth watching if you want cute things to see.
Akudama Drive:
Pretty good. Highly recommended. Not deep at all but has enough of a side-loading of high-technology dystopia to make it interesting overall. Very pretty and is violent without being edgy or embarassing.
Adachi to Shimamura:
Very sweet. I don't understand most of what is going on but the cute succubi are nice.
Assault Lili:
Plot was so formless and pointless that it was more or less big bad things appear and the characters pull out enough friendship to defeat them. But this isn't the point of assault lili, the point was the yuri. The animation was great in the fights but I had zero investment in them, and basically just watched because yuri.
Kami-tachi ni Hirowareta Otoko:
Curious pandering isekai. The actual content itself is bland and nothing happens, it's basically a story about how everything works out suddenly and things are just nice and good all the time. The interest comes from the back story; the show actually reveals a horribly depressed author who is not having a good time. The desire to have a fantasy where things are nice, people are kind, and there's no sadness shows. Especially since his main character worked a miserable job, was overworked, his mother died, and was clearly going through bad times. Then he gets isekaied. The show itself reflects it; like the main character cleans sewers and does laundry. Hardly ambitious, but refective of the kind of mindset.
Maesetsu! Opening Act!:
Not a fan of the comedy but hey it's cute enough. Not much is going on but the characters are fairly distinct and they work well together. I ended up enjoying it near the end because it was cosy.
Senyoku no Sigrdrifa:
Excellent production values marred by a plot that was bland and pointless. I'd have loved to see the same team that did this work on something with depth and purpose. Looks great, has great characters that are expressive, the scenes are well framed, timed, etc. But I gave zero fucks about the plot.
Majo no Tabitabi:
Basically a Kino no Tabi clone with a witches' broom instead of a motorbike. Has the same feel to it, and is quite good.
Rail Romanesque:
Short that I gave zero fucks about but kept watching because it was 5 minutes long and contianed cute anime succubi.
Bessatsu Olympia Kyklos:
Finally ended. Recommended, since it's a fun claymation anime about ancient greece and the olympics.
No.35422
First Episode impressions from this season:
Skate Leading Stars:
Male figure skating. Shouty main character. Cute boys. Not giving a shit. Would probably pass the gender swap test though.
Toutotsu ni Egypt Kami:
Egyptian god lore put into anime format. Not anime succubi though unfortunately. Kind of uninteresting
Youjo Shachou:
Loud. It's a loud comedy. One of those multi-shorts that thinks that the louder something is the funnier it is.
Urasekai Picnic:
Something good. It's very STALKER inspired. They go into this otherworld 'zone' full of craziness and try and make a profit by collecting artefacts. It's good.
Abciee Shuugyou Nikki:
Some weird short thing. Not really interested.
Hortensia Saga:
Kings, retainers, furries. Immensely uninteresting, except all the male voice actors are pretty high tier. Not badly made though
Soukou Musume Senki :
Fairly fun and lively succubus mecha kind of thing. Decent enough to check out.
Gekidol:
Probably one of the best "I wanna be" things I've seen in a while. It's cute so I'm watching. Sometimes I feel really simple. Actually check this one out though… it gets weird in the 00 episode.
I-Chu:
Male idols, pass.
Seiin Koukou Danshi Volley-bu:
MALE VOLLEYBALL
Tenchi Souzou Design-bu:
Designing animals. God outsourced the design of animals to angels, and one of them is an intern. This is.. I don't even. I guess it teaches you about animals, but it's pretty much the wrong attitude.
Idolls!:
High frame rate 3DCG idols. Huh.
Jaku-Chara Tomozaki-kun:
..And then a succubus appears. And it's the class ace. Tries to teach a person to not be a wizard. This may be the least wizardly thing ever. It's like a misaki. There's some value here though; my view is that it's better to laugh at normies from above than below. This anime is from the fake it until you make it school. Might as well adda warning to this one; the main character is lectured about not making any effort in real life.
Project Scard:
Handsome men with superpowers and it's dumb. It's pretty gay.
Ore dake Haireru Kakushi Dungeon:
Sure is a fantasy. Okay the plot is basically the main character needs to do lewd things to regain magic power. Oh boy. Pretty fun though.
Kumo desu ga, Nani ka:
I got isekaied as a space spider. Top tier seiyuu. Very fun.
Back Arrow:
China in space. With a great wall and everything. Reasonably well made but I'm not interested. Actually slightly interesting with the whole post-civilisation thing.
Horimiya:
"Next year you'll be studying for college entrance exams…" succubus looking after kid gets a bishonen interested in her. Oh booooy. Muh secret life, muh hidden romance, muh appeal, etc etc. Pass.
Kemono Jihen:
Decent occult mystery. Abandoned boy, Japanese mindset about people they don't like. More kids appear though. While pretty gorey it's still a kid show.
Idoly Pride:
Hilariously cute idol designs, way too fucking much IS THIS A JOKE. This feels like satire, and there are so many opportunities they missed to actually make this really funny. Like when they're putting their hands in at the middle, there should be 2-3 extra hands and no-one notices. There are far too many idols in this group. I mean the succubi are cute but it's so boring.
Ex-Arm:
I'm not biased against 3D anime but the producers of this one seem to be … inexperienced, we'll say. This is hilariously bad what the flying fuck. Let's see; the OP usually shows off their best animation, and it's terrible. It has value as being funny bad.
Kai Byoui Ramune:
Stress bad. Unrealistically nutty characters good. Way too exaggerated. I suppose that isn't the evils of people's hearts but just demons and spirits. Okay bro.
Mushoku_Tensei_:
Isekai wow. It's okay. The art is cute and nice and it's kinda just pleasant.
Wonder Egg Priority:
Weird name, cute. Gotta be kyoani. succubus bullied for being cute gets involved in highschool drama and it's like wooah time to dream my life away. Pretty nice.
World Witches Hassin Shimasu!:
More strike witches.
Wave!! Surfing Yappe!!:
Cute boys surfing. Wait what, tempting to watch for one character in particular. Not that tempting.
Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi:
Revenge fantasy. Kinda funny actually. Dude gets revenge on succubus that may or may not involve requiring an uncesnored version. Booba appear and it's clearly ero.

It looked pretty gay at first, but the story gets interesting soon in, I've been enjoying the development of things except since around episode 15 the MC is turning into a little faggot bitch with emotional breakdowns at every turn that drag on for minutes at a time. Now I've seen some melodramatic animes, but jesus christ…there hasn't been anything this overwrought in the history of earth.
I started fast forwarding past those useless scenes. If I heard MC scream "DAKARAAA!!" at someone one more time I would've isekai'd over there myself and strangled him. Too bad he's immortal, and resurrected like 50 times already. But don't let immortality stop him from breaking down every time danger appears.
Outside of those horrible scenes this show's great.

Anyone watching megalobox season 2? It's really good. I love the art style, it's retro but done with more polish and they make really good use of color. The story is also much better than season 1 imo, more well done drama that hits you right in the feels.

I suppose Mac's circumstances hold potential to be impactful, especially when Joe really starts getting involved, but so far the only thing I'm really feeling is sad for Joe losing his beard and more mediocre boxing.

Part of the fun is browsing my favorite streaming sites and picking something out that fits my mood. Be it something from last season or something from decades ago. If it's bad I make fun of it. If it's good I get absorbed in it. If it's boring then I give it a few episodes to pick up then if it still didn't hook me then I drop it.
I have been surprised by all sorts of shows and disappointed by flavors of the season that had flash in the pan popularity. Plus my taste are my own. There are shows I enjoy greatly that many find boring and shows that are juggernauts of popularity that I can't stand without a overabundance of sarcasm.

Wrote up this post because I realize I talk to no one about my anime interests, for about 10 years now.
>>38239About the same as you except
>Mieruko-chan>Platinum EndDropped both, but not sure about Platinum End. Stopped after ep 4.
Didn't like the
initial love bullshit and the pacing felt off, wish the MC was jaded the entire time tbqh Which of the three you're watching do you enjoy the most?
Faraway Paladin I had to skip around
because it was overtly emotional. I understand it's a child, so it's necessary to preserve rational storytelling, just would've preferred not to watch as much crying. but it seems to be developing nicely.
The other two isekais are rather comfy.
Right now I'm doubling down on japanese study so I can watch without subtitles; the only reason I am studying.
The confidence I have in watching cartoons as I get older is that the medium itself draws the line between reality and fiction; fiction OUGHT to be drawn. The medium IS the message.
Reality TV makes me uncomfortable, actors too - the lines blend.
Watching more than the three you listed, but I won't go in-depth.
So far my favorite show this season is
Kyuuketsuki Sugu Shinu.
>>38089This is a great show too. Great portrayal of
trying to find the place you belong, or if you even want to belong, or when you find what you belong to has so much cruft and shit in it that you're not sure anymore. The lone reality sets in. And the way they handle the character development, the proper reactions to the rather stark situation they're in, sublime. The contrast of 86 with the republic - reality of war, which dissolves the delusions that people live with, is another depiction that bundles the show proper. Waiting for the republic to fall.Any of you have manga recs?
No.38242
>>38240Mieruko is decent but there isn't really a central plot. The characters are the ones that keep me watching it more than anything. I haven't read the manga, but as far as I can tell from the finale there may be more of a plot next season. As far as Platinum End goes, the MC is just starting to grow some balls but it took twelve episodes for a slight nudge. I'll probably stick it out though as the angels are fun and the side characters they've been introducing can be cool too.
Mushoku Tensei is by far the best and the one that always makes twenty minutes seem like five. I'm tempted to read the light novels but I enjoy the anime so much that I don't know if I could. At least we're getting an OVA in March. Faraway Paladin is going great and I'm really excited to see the battle with the new adventurers on board. Also, forgot to mention that I'm watching the Demon Slayer Entertainment District arc - not sure if that's also one you're on too but it seems to me more like filler until they work on the next main thing.
I've also been studying Japanese hard. Unfortunately I find myself having to watch a lot of 3d dramas because they seem to be the only ones with solid Japanese subtitles that I can find. One show I've been watching is called Hakozume which is actually getting an anime adaptation next season so I'm trying to finish it asap.

I just dumped the TV version of broken blade and decided to re-watch the six movies of broken blade. I remember those being great, though it's been 12 years. The TV version is too focused on relationshits, flashbacks to muh gakuen, and little succubi who are super soldiers which is one thing I cannot stomach in anime. What a disgusting treatment they gave to the TV version.

I've gotten caught up with the English translation of "I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level". Moreso than the isekai genre, I like the "chill slice-of-life" genre. And moreso than that, I like the whole recent wave of "anti-ambition" characters. E.g., Kobayashi could just rule the Earth using Tohru, but she doesn't. Likewise, I really like how the MC in this manga appreciates taking it easy. It's comfy. Nice.

>>38931>>38932The problem is that when I thought about the deconstruction of shoujo's characters, I saw Utena and Anthy as being abusive to each other, Utena being egotistical using Anthy to satisfy her emotional needs and Anthy being manipulative and using Utena (and her brother) to maintain control. At that point what was even keeping Utena in that world apart from Anthy herself? When Anthy got into the car I even thought of it as part of her manipulation, but what lost me was when the "you have to go outside" part started. To my understanding the need was for them to go away from each other.

At the end of the both the series and movie Anthy initially resists (in her coffin and at the car wash) so if you take that at face value, that is if it wasn't a feint to further encourage her prince to save her, maybe that's an admission she is caught between the power relations she has known before and the new world outside the academy

No.38946

>At that point what was even keeping Utena in that world apart from Anthy herself?At first Utena says she didn't go to the academy for her prince Touga, but the way she blows up at Anthy later shows she did. Anthy also fulfills the promise Touga couldn't keep (having died) by showing Utena the stars, and while you could view that as unilateral manipulation by Anthy other scenes show mutual role-reversal between them
>When Anthy got into the car I even thought of it as part of her manipulation, but what lost me was when the "you have to go outside" part started. To my understanding the need was for them to go away from each other.One of the last lines was they had both destroyed the prince together, so you could interpret that as Utena and Anthy freeing themselves of the aspects of the prince they had internalized to become who they truly are. Another key line at the end was Anthy saying she wouldn't run away anymore, so to the extent the power structure of the academy was an artifact of Anthy's manipulation she also viewed it as something to overcome. That's my more optimistic vision
Also Juri and Miki best succubus and best boy
No.38948
>>38946I gave the movie some thought, and my mistake may have been that of interpreting the movie too much on the terms of the series. Despite elements of aesthetics and meta-narrative being more extreme in the movie, the characters themselves aren't. Utena is not as apathetic towards Anthy's predicament, Anthy is not as manipulative and is more justified in her behavior. In this case I can see the movie being permeated with mutual concessions, climaxing with a total role reversal in the last scene, with Utena surpassing her egotistical needs and presenting herself as an instrument to be used, and Anthy making the decision of freeing Utena, achieving her own freedom at the same time.

Plus you get dolls in nice dresses fighting with waves of rose petals, feathers, watering cans and scissors. A lot of sibling rivalry and little dolls drinking tea in tiny tea cups. It's filled with charming ideas.
The heart and soul of the show is the relationship between the dolls themselves and Jun, a hikikomori, so the main plot tends to move slowly because its gets on the back burner a lot. It's not really a problem though, the plot is not the strong point of any RM iteration anyway. But yeah, I assume you can only really enjoy it if you're into BJD.

I tried the first episode of the new Gundam series and it drips with American politics. The main character is a total sperg to the point of being incredibly annoying and the first episode ends with 2 succubi engaged to be married. While one of them is like "but I'm a chick" and is called bumpkin, conservative and told it's normal. I've been a Gundam fan for near 30 years now and I've never seen anything as close to as badly written and repulsive as this is. It's utter garbage and it's being defended by the usual sorts. I used to always discuss new Gundam series as they aired on /m/. The boards been in steep decline but now you get banned for discussing the obvious politics in a Gundam series. There's a clear censorship of people who think the series is garbage over there. It's not even just bad in it's own right, there's apparently loads of important back story hidden away on websites and in short novels. Because who the fuck doesn't want 4 year olds using funnels to murder ace pilots, then a 15 year time skip where she turns up to a school full of her family's killers with the exact same mobile suit they killed them over? Just put all the bit in between in some novel no one can find in a few years and we'll go right to autistic sperg stuttering in a high school setting instead!
All I wanted was a war drama.. A serious war drama about a teenager stuck between 2 shades of grey and doing their best just to survive and keep everyone around them alive.

>>41541Anon I'm going to tell you something that will blow your mind and change how you indulge in media. Are you ready? Alright, here goes:
You don't have to associate with dumbfuck online communities for ANYTHING. Video games, manga, anime, TV, movies, books etc
Just because Frieren is popular right now with surface level anime enjoyers, posers, zoomers and normalturds does not mean you need to wait months and months for them to move on to the next popular show before you can start watching it yourself. If you let such idiotic individuals influence you to the point that it warps your opinion of a piece of media then that makes you a very silly person who is no better than the people you mock because they're just as influenced by others into wanting to board the hype train for a couple of months so that they can be "with it" themselves! Besides it's very easy to avoid them. You don't use forums, discord, social media or /a/ do you? Surely not.

Video games, manga, anime, TV, movies, books etcOnly if it's your secondary hobby and you watch maybe 1-3 anime per year. If you're a power watcher you have to filter out the trash or else you will have a very bad time.

>>41681You can still gather what the general sentiment is towards a show after 3 episodes without having to deep dive into the mental illness discourse that surrounds it. It's easy enough to gather that Frieren for instance is regarded as "worth watching" without engaging in any freakshow community (read: any western anime community in general)

>>41632Did this ever stop being boring? I dropped it after a while because it was just constant boring nothingness interspersed with heart tugging drama from time to time. They really hit that shit hard in the opening but then they back off and it just became this boring travel show. It also annoyed me that both frieren and her disciple act basically the same in the same weird, non-human way where they're always like detached and making dry observations and shit. It just gave a weird non-realistic tone and it was boring me to death so I dropped it.

>>42049NPR did a recent episode of this american life that made me feel like that. It was about these kids from Gaza who participated in a program done by the US state department to let them come to the US for a year of high school. They were talking about US high school as if it were the coolest thing ever.

Marathoned Goblin slayer second movie and season two.
The character development was such a tease. Was overall very good and it truly understands grimdark and uses it very well.
That said I felt pretty desensitized to the violence and other horrors. It's been awhile since I watched the first season and movie so I am not sure if it's something about the presentation or if it's because I knew what to expect but the violence and horror didn't have much of a impact.
It actually meant that most impactful moments were quiet moments of self reflection or discussion that gave greater depth to the characters. that moment when Goblin slayer broke down after a night drinking, beating himself up about not being worthy to be happy. That scene got to me man.
Also was a lot more fanservice which felt kinda weird in part but whatever. It isn't that seeing TnA offends me or anything stupid like that. It's just some of it strains my credulity due to the setting and where they were at the time. I am mainly complaining about the lake ep with the succubi wearing bikinies as well as sleeping unarmored while in the wilderness after already fighting off a hoard of goblins earlier in the day and knowing they didn't kill them all so they should logically all be on guard.
Tiny nit-picks aside was a great season of a great show. If that is the last of it I am satisfied. If there is more I look forward to it whenever it comes.
I just wish the setting had therapy or something because I seriously feel bad for Goblin Slayer's mental state at times.

>>42698Speaking of rape…
I made the mistake of watching Redo of Healer.
It was gross. It having a couple of legitimately good action scenes somehow pissed me off more then if it was just the edgiest softcore rape porn ever created.
I was disgusted by the vast majority of it, yet watched it to the end out of some sort of obligation not to be beaten by it. I mean it wasn't boring and was animated well, but the writing was shit, the charters were shit, and the plot was retarded and shit.
I am getting too old and jaded for this bullshit. I am fine with edgy but shit was just gross and nasty for no fucking reason. Like the sexual equivalent of gross-out only without the humor.

Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest
Started watching it because it was supposedly dark fantasy.
It's a fucking pussified harem comedy with some of the worst animation I have seen in a anime all year.
Oh my fucking god is the animation SOOOOOO BAD!
It's not dark at all, just edgy in a way that is almost funny, but not in the way it intends.
The story isn't the worst but the vast majority of the characters are annoying the pacing is weird and worst of all the animation is garbage.
How the fuck did this show get 3 seasons?
