Huh? I wasn't expecting romance at all and your reply seems to suggest you think I expected it. What about the title implies romance? I definitely expected a gyaru, but no romance. A workplace comedy of working in an academic lab in life sciences sounds interesting, though I don't have a background in it.
The weird thing about your catbox posts is that at one point in time I was clearly able to see them. I remember those Pokémon posts you made in !pokemon@lemm.ee and even commenting on them. But now I cannot see them.
I don't have Netflix, but cheers for Cells at Work getting in front of more eyeballs! I watched the first season and finished the manga and several of the manga spinoffs. I really liked this show. Fun, educational, obsessed over it for awhile before moving on.
Somehow I feel resolving not to ask her is a bad idea. Just because it was your decision!?
Not sure how I feel about the plot point of the resurrection spell and discovering a new angsty thing about it per chapter. I should like that in theory but somehow it feels like that formula isn't being applied in a pleasant way? idk
The tags indicate zero of the tragedy, I wonder if it is a lot more lighthearted after some chapters, or if it was mistagged.
I do appreciate how people actually acknowledge Aino's saving the world, although I am not sure why they seem to be ignorant of Iro.
In comparison, there’s other communities with a sea of posts with no upvotes getting posted daily. But no interaction.
In my experience, if I find something to say and say it, I'll often get a response, especially if it is mostly being propped up by one active mod. (Shoutout to !tycoon@lemmy.world and @agent_karyo@lemmy.world) Even if it is a community that just posts pictures. I try to do the same and comment when someone has something to say in my communities.
Ah, I should have made it clearer: I was more interested in the processes of the people posting out of curiosity, not to post pictures myself. I am here because I like anime and manga, yes, but I want to discuss them and get new recommendations here on Lemmy. I have no interest in using Lemmy as an image aggregator for anime and manga fandoms, especially because Danbooru and Pixiv have tagging systems I can filter by and Lemmy does not; and they are bigger and more established and can take the image load. Thanks for trying to help though!
I think people post the pictures as a combination of it being something they like, trying to keep a small Fediverse community active in the name of growing it, and… frankly, it is what they are probably used to. Back on Reddit, I'd seek out a sub for an anime I watched that I liked, only to find there is no discussion, no cool fan theories, just a bunch of fanart that someone besides the poster created, and to be honest that really wasn't what I was looking for. I also don't want to have to tell a bunch of people doing something they like to change to suit my tastes, so I just left. Here on the Fediverse, there are a few discussion communities that suit me :)
Why'd you pick Blaze? Is that a Sonic character? I do recognize that your profile picture is some kind of Sonic character, but I never got into the franchise. I know Sonic, Amy, Shadow, and that's it.
That's true. And you probably have more risk of getting impersonated, you kind of seem like a big recognizable name, especially since you seem to lead the "growing the Fediverse" discussions.
I prefer to let it show that I am a mod even when I was the only poster, felt more transparent about who I am. There is always the option to "Speak as moderator" on a comment you make in a community you mod. I use this option when I'm speaking in that role and not as another user who just so happens to be moderator.
Good intentions but I never read peoples' bios, I do not usually click on their profiles. Feels stalkerish. I'm here on Lemmy for conversation about the things I care about, not to get to know specific online strangers. I only check profiles if you say something that makes me suspicious of your intentions so I decide to look at your engagement on that account overall, or if you have an interesting username and I am curious about where it came from.
EDIT: forgot I have to click a profile to direct message people
As a !bunnies@lemmy.world and !otomegames@ani.social mod, this is an annoying barrier to entry, but once I have the account made it's really easy to switch between the two in my opinion. I have autofill on my passwords and Lemmy from iOS on just the raw website, no apps. Might be different for app users.
Especially since Lemmy is still growing, I think it's fine that I mod !bunnies@lemmy.world and !otomegames@ani.social. That's probably my hard cap though. I do not think I could consistently do three, the third would suffer from inconsistent posting.
I am a big fan of obliviously OP protags. I can see her noble background and lack of adventuring knowledge being easy conflict/humor fodder, they clearly made use of it this chapter.
Not sure what the "desu wa" thing is though.
Wonder if we will ever get an angst scene about her getting kicked out of the house. Everyone deals with grief differently though, and I know some people shove it down and deal with what is in front of them, only for it to reemerge later, so no issues with not seeing a breakdown right off the bat.
I'm kind of picky with what manga I'm willing to start, but almost anything I do pick will be something I enjoy. Really appreciate this community (as well as the anime discussion one, if I see an interesting-looking anime I'll probably look up if it has a manga first) for making me aware of a lot more manga I ended up enjoying.
I admit I don't post myself. I have no sense of taste or quality, just "I enjoyed this" and "I did not enjoy this" and am not sure too many of my comments would be constructive. But I do think a general appreciation comment is constructive enough to post, so I am posting this ;)
I came here for the entire premise of a dragon maid, and stuck around for the found family and the slice of life. The sexualization I just kind of blatantly ignore—kind of helps to be a woman not sexually interested in my own gender, in a world full of sexualizing my gender, so I have a lot of practice with it. (I'll usually try to avoid sexual fanservice, but if I like something/think I'll enjoy enough I seem to be really good at just hitting the IGNORE button.) It's fun to watch. I'm cognizant of the issues but I certainly do not expect everything I watch to be perfect. Also, since you are saying the portrayal of women is an issue… ignoring the fanservice I do not really see anything wrong with the female characters as characters here? Am I just stupid? I especially like Kobayashi. Really not a fan of Lucoa's entire thing with Shota, but in the end, unfortunately some women are indeed pedophiles. Very realistic character defect.
Not a fan of the loli/shota stuff. However I am more "ehhh, I wish this wasn't there" than "absolute disgust," probably because in the end, the characters are pixels, no real kids are coming to harm; so when weighing whether or not to watch I still come down on the watch side.
For what it is worth, the anime's sexualization and underage sexualization seems to be toned down from the manga.
