I would say he had at least dipped his toes into anime with the Nier Automata anime.
Also this:
"The work I was most inspired by is Neon Genesis Evangelion. I thank you for praising NieR: Automata’s story, but actually it’s pretty much just a retelling of Evangelion"

Yoko Taro alone is enough for me to get giddy about this. Add Okabe to the mix, and you get magic.

My first thought was that it was her sister that she lost. As in their "sisterhood", not as in her "death". But earlier when they had their falling out that made her hate her. Maybe they were close once. I'm not sure if it's a realistic depiction of a sibling bond, but it's something that would fit into the META of the show. It's what I would do if I were a writer when trying to spin the story around a central plot point.

Whenever I start to type something about the show in here, I feel like it isn't adequate enough for the subject matter and then just decide to not comment at all. Especially after the last couple episodes got heavier with emotion.

At the end of season 1 I felt the gimmick has been spread too thin and ran its course. Very funny in the first few episodes but grew stale fast. When I gave S02E01 a go I immediately got the same sense. Do they switch it up a bit in later episodes by adding a new gimmick/joke setup/etc. ?

I love the comfy vibes of the show. I would have loved it even more if they had included a bit more about the feelings behind the Japanese Doll. I think they did a good enough job with the fisher's flag without being too "on the nose" about it, but in this episode it felt like "yeah thanks, now go soak" when she gave the doll back. Just a line or two about the memories tied to the doll from the owner would have made the episode perfect.

Also, I had to check the QR code. It leads to the anime's website. I ad hoped for some small easter egg or the like. Maybe something like a special end card illustration.

Unrelated: Demon Slayer is worth watching. The hype is irrelevant.

I see where he is coming from. It's a battle shounen and if that's not your cup of tea then they're all equally worthless. It's like discussing the differences of blended and single malt whisky with a non-alcoholic.

Sure, there aren't that many shows that are just one thing (none come to mind at all). I just put what I considered the main genre. Though putting Strawberry Marchmallow into the iyashikei genre is a new one for me. I obviously get "CGDCT" and "comedy" but I would say it's only iyashikei if one generally considers watching CGDCT as healing/comforting. Different strokes and all that.

Hey, if we're shilling communities, come join !lightnovels@ani.social as well. Probably the least active community around a single medium.

I never succeed in getting anyone to watch it

On one hand, I'm always shilling it, on the other, I feel a bit gate-keepy about it and don't want a flock of tourists shit all over it.

Your Name. in "mid" is a take you don't see often.

If you take suggestions, put Haibane Renmei and Fune Wo Amu on your PTW list. And try out some of the highlights from other genres. For example, Non Non Biyori (iyashikei), Strawberry Marshmallow (CGDCT), Nana (josei) and Monster (suspense). Bonus: Sweetness & Lightning (cooking,iyashikei)

hot take incoming

I see where you are coming from. But having gone through raising two daughters myself, I would come to the exact same decision as Makio, even knowing perfectly well what hardships raising kids entails. Having family fall into foster care is unthinkable, even if it means that there is some personal sacrifice. I also don't see Makio ever interpreting her current hardship as an error.
