Dancing has to be really hard to animate, considering the creative lengths Welcome to the Ballroom goes to avoid it

As someone who hasn't read the manga, Ballroom so far has mostly felt like it's meandering, and it's hard to get invested in the dance scenes when they're so filled with still shots.

About 5 minutes into Youko, they're full-length eps.

Don't bother. I might not even make it through ep1.

It wouldn't be so bad if it was better at saying what's happening in the dances but it's being that very uncommunicative and unhelpful kind of melodramatic about everything

Also, I watched the Goat episode of that show and it was great. They've been turned into goats and discover that meandering around chomping on delicious spinach isn't so bad. The VAs sounded like they were having fun :3:

The goats were cute too

Oh, so it was actually in the plot, not just them dubbing voicework over random goats?

That's... not as bad.

I mean, I haven't seen any other episodes and they just mention that they've been turned into animals before in the actual show and are now goats. I have no idea if it's a super plot focused short or anything but this seems like just a fun one-off thing they did in character

Not as boring as Smartphone's protag, but still, the show would benefit from more opposition or letting the kid fail more

At least his competence is in semi-interesting ways because we get horse mech and he's hyper enthusiastic about it and it's kinda infectious. It's a very cheery show. Smartphone on the other hand has an aggressively dumb OP protag.

Started watching K&M today. Have to agree, and i have the same complaint with the manga.

My other complaint is: they skipped a decent amount of stuff in the first episode. Which sucks, because it was still good characterization for people. I do understand them wanting to get to the more robot-y bits though.

No worries. It was heavily hinted at last chapter, so it's not that bad.

Doublepooooost.

I think the super-quick pacing of the anime works against it. You never really get used to anything, it never lets you get your footing.
It brings it down from what could be a very strong anime deapite the OP MC to merely being okay. I may just stop watching and continue reading the manga, who knows :shrug:

There's a lot of good completely new stuff this season:

Kakegurui (I also really like that the ED did some really good stuff with a great song and 3 short walk cycles)
Made in Abyss
Tsurezure Children
and a few others

No reason to waste time on a subpar born in another world anime

Does tsurezure do the same jumping around that the manga does?
I eventually dropped the manga because i just could not follow who was who.

No it wasn't. Portraying an attempted rape with fanservice-y scenes is loving idiotic. Yeah, whoever voiced the creepy guy did do a good job in making him sound unnerving. But the composition of that scene was god-awful.

The aftermath was fine, if a bit far-fetched. On the other hand, now I'm interested in the MC.

The title is metaphorical, I guess it works better in Japanese? Anyway, it's about a girl diagnosed with pancreatic cancer who has a year to live, told from the perspective of her friend/romantic interest(?) after her death.
