  • Michiko is too real 🗿


    I love the slow reveal of Minori's backstory. She reminds me of Hoshino Ai from Oshi no Ko, in that

    she isn't really around, and yet she is centerpiece to the story. (And of course there's the superficial similarity of being mothers who died too early and left children behind)

    Also, Asa has moved from denial to anger in terms of stages of grief. It's an easy prediction but I bet that by the end of the season (or the story as a whole, maybe) she would reach acceptance.

  • Aww it's too bad that they killed Gabimaru off 😔

    He received a fair bit of character development and became quite likable.

  • Dang, I thought Inori was going to wow everyone with a triple Axel combo, since - IIRC - Axel is the hardest jump, harder than the triple Lutz that Hikaru and Yuna did. Still, a flawless run is impressive.

    I got to confess though: I prefer Yuna's sequence over our MC's - probably because of the choice of music? It felt so dark, yet so powerful. It was epic.

  • They didn't have to do him like that 😭


    They are not fooling anyone with this "ending", especially after we have seen the first fake ending. Too many plotlines are still unresolved (e.g. Kukrushka / Manan backstory; Yuriko's one was made explicit).

  • Also fuck paparazzi, why do people care so much about other people's lives?

    My impression is that that is not just any random paparazzi. He's either a paparazzi who got tipped off by Mako, or he's a detective of sorts, hired by Mako to take compromising photos of them.

    In fact, I'm surprised that there are no hidden camera planted indoors.

  • Earth is in space, so technically...

  • They didn't have to go hard with the soundtracks in the second half. Milliarde's spirit of trolling must be contagious.

  • Why does the white familiar creature - Kogane - look like an overgrown sperm with wings 🗿

    Anyway, quick guess on what comes after: I bet both of them were lying about Higuruma's location. In fact, given that we (they) don't know what Higuruma looks like, it is possible that one of them is Higuruma.

  • There are more red flags than a crypto job listing 💀

    I'm guessing Mako has a grudge against the director, and is looking to set him up. Perhaps the director did not cast her in her preferred role and she felt snubbed? Kana is just unlucky to be used by Mako and become collateral damage.

    Then, Aqua would usually be the one to come in and save the day. But now that Hikaru has been revealed to us, I think Hikaru would be the one to get involved and get Kana out of a pinch. This way, it brings our cast one step closer to Hikaru, and to resolving the main plot.

  • Yeah this is the first real torture 💀

  • Another plothole is: Otome was able to use her engineer ability on Yuri and see the result immediately, instead of having to wait (i.e. before / after the warp in the timelines with Gnosia). It would have been so easy for the engineers if they can use their ability in the meeting room.

    For now, I have chosen to suspend my disbelief.

  • Yeah it's prime anime_irl material.

  • Some quick thoughts:


    Bro is me frfr:


    Regarding Seiichiro's organ that is adapting to serve the function of the magical-energy-core, it's a crude guess but I bet it's going to be his prostate. Then, the show is going to say it would require some "stimulation" for it to function effectively 🗿


    Seiichiro is quite lucky that the authorities of this world / country are wise and on his side. After all, might is right, and things could have went very badly.

  • Dou kept referring to Jahi as her big sister, but Jahi always felt more like Dou's mother IMO

    In fact, Jahi is more of a mother to Dou than Dou's actual (but absentee) mother, Dahaaka.

  • Pokemon

    Not exactly old, but Pokemon Horizons has some amazing moments.

  • Do you agree that the ones I mentioned are incredible?

    Definitely! At least for Frieren and Journal with Witch. I haven't start on Love through a Prism just yet; have seen the high ratings and would check it out when there's time

    Are there other anime this season that you think deserve more of a spotlight?

    Already mentioned in the weekly discussion thread, but worth pointing out again: the latest episodes of Gnosia and Medalist have been an absolute blast to watch.

    I have also been enjoying Isekai Office Worker more than expected. It's not like your typical isekai. In fact, when I think about it, I don't think its target audience is your usual wish-fulfilment isekai enjoyer. I'd say its more drama? (politics?) with BL.

    What other recent anime have you watched that you think is peak?

    Wandance is both underwatched and underrated IMO. People seemed to get too hung up on the animation and such. If you are the kind of person who weigh story/writing/characters more heavily than artstyle/animation/CG/aesthetics, consider checking it out.

  • Also, title drop!

    Personally, it has to be The Daughter of the Demon Lord is Too Kind!

    It isn't one of those wholesome slice-of-life where nothing happens. There's actually a plot with a climax.

    Also, Dou is just too cute, and too kind. I would welcome her to rule over our world any time.

    I am so glad that it received an anime adaptation right when it ended.

  • Just a quick shout-out to Gnosia and Medalist. Both of them popped off extra hard the last couple of episodes.

    The best part is

    we haven't even reached the peak of the climax for either of them. They're already so good now - imagine how insane the upcoming episodes would be.

    Come and join in the discussion threads, people! It's fun to theorycraft what comes next in Gnosia, and to glaze the Inori-Tsukasa student-coach pair from Medalist.
