  • I’m sort of craving something that’ll let me just switch off my brain and coast…

    My go-to for this state of mind is Nichijou and, more recently, City The Animation. I often pop on a random episode here and there. Scrolling through my library for some other ideas, I found a couple others I have watched that are in the same vein of a SOL I don't need to pay too much attention to, but are still good shows:

    • Azumanga Daioh (a classic if you haven't seen it)
    • Bartender (I've just seen the remake)
    • Dungeon People (a great SOL that flew under the radar I think)
    • How Heavy are the Dumbbells You Lift?
    • I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years
    • Negative Positive Angler (some story in this one, but mostly just fishing vibes)
  • This was a nice chapter. It's refreshing to see them actually be able to express emotions rather than get flustered for the 1000'th time.

  • All of them just hanging out at the end was a total vibe.

  • This series continues to be just pure sugar. These childhood friend characters are no exception.

  • These two chapters were excellent. Those masks though...they were a bit creepy.

  • Sweetness overload this chapter. I liked the switch to bubbles instead of fireworks. No confessions were ever ruined due to bubbles.

  • Just a quick meta head-up that next week's thread will be the Winter Preview Thread! So, @rikka@ani.social will be monitoring that thread to enable show discussion threads for the upcoming season. I do just want to mention one show that is starting ~2 weeks early, Ao no Miburo: Serizawa Ansatsu-hen. So, let me know thlis week if you want discussion threads for that show. You can also just request threads by private message if you want.

  • Wow, those finger skateboards just unlocked a bunch of middle school memories, lol. Lots of expressive hand animation this chapter.

  • I love how Naruto's thoughts about what Renge gave him this past year was fan service.

  • My extension just updated and things seem to be working again thankfully.

  • There's no such thing as monsters under the bed. It's just Mary!

  • I just caught up on this show and I agree that the meat looked really, really good this week.

    I have used this salt baking method once before to cook a large roast, and it works really well. In my case, we did it on an open fire, so the salt casing helps protect the meat from the variable temperatures of the open fire as flames/coals ebb and flow through the hours it takes to bake. The salt really does harden into a shell as it bakes thanks to mixing in the moisture (egg whites). This traps in the moisture from the meat as it cooks, essentially steaming it. It takes a lot of salt to do this well, so I imagine you would only see this in the traditional food of maritime locales where salt would have been readily available. The salt is not reusable afterwards.

    In a restaurant setting, I would imagine they could achieve much of the same effect through commercial steam ovens. This lets them bake a roast while injecting steam into the oven, keeping it just as moist (and cooking it faster without having to heat the meat through the shell). They might wrap it in something else that helps keep the juices in while also allowing better heat conduction.

  • Translation:

    Glad you liked the show!

    It's one of my favorites. I love me a good chuuni character and Rikka is one of the best out there. Rikka somehow is able to be an utterly ridiculous chuuni character while also having a really compelling and touching story that is exceedingly human and grounded in reality.

  • Yeah, I think was more of a setup chapter to introduce the new character. I think everybody has seen the 'awful at cooking' character before, so it doesn't really feel too novel. I think her romance prediction powers are more interesting.

  • I am ready at a moment's notice to spread the good word of the Mystery Research Club!

  • Big fan of Ika Musume (I read the manga before watching the anime). I look forward to the day that the author's other big work, Assemble! Mysterious Research Club, is granted an anime adaptation. I prefer it to Ika Musume in manga form, but they are both great.

  • Yeah, this has been my experience as well. A couple sources fetch all but the final couple pages. The cynical side of me wonders if this is a way to kick people off their api and make them look at the web view (so that ads load).
