And thanks people who posted their season opinions earlier. As someone who is perpetually behind on everything other than MHA (hoping to get to Antartica next month!) I appreciate the scouting reports.

The longer you stay here, the more like us you become until you are unrecognizable. One day you're apalled at goons, and the next thing you know you're mildly nostalgic for a gaping rear end in a top hat.

I've fallen behind on Amanchu by a couple eps, but Twitter seems to have gotten psychotically angry at it. Alas. Well, it was at least one and a half seasons of good, and I'm very glad that I can just say "well, too bad they screwed up" rather than get that level of invested.

It's much worse than that.

I don't know if all these people just missed the conversation the first time or ignored it because of spoiler tags, but yeah, it's doubly gross because the boy is a loving 12 year old kid, his feelings on love aren't gonna be the same as an adults, and it very much says 'oh, gay love isn't as valid as straight love', which, gently caress that noise.


Tl;dr: It's homophobic in its portrayl of romance, whether it intends to be or not, amongst other gross aspects.

It's a slap in the face to any lesbians out there watching the show, especially if they got drawn in because they heard the first season was pretty gay.

Part of that is that s2 had a different director than s1, which s1 had amped up the gay tones compared to the manga, while s2 downplays it, but regardless, the plot essentially dumps that into the trash.

It's not a case of 'oh they weren't gay, and gay stuff was added', it's 'these characters are gay for each other, but gay love isn't the same as true (heterosexual) love, which :barf:

It doesn't even really make sense even if you read Teko/Pikari's relationship the way the show evidently intends for you to. There's really no sensical reason finding out that Kokoro is a boy and in love with Pikari should make Teko less jealous - even if Teko isn't in love with Pikari you'd think she'd still be worried about someone else monopolizing Pikari's attention. It feels like a nonsensical and unearned plot turn even taken on its own terms.

I finished the Kase-san OVA and it was pretty much everything you'd expect and hope for an animated adaptation of Kase-san to be. I give it a rating of Kyaaaaa/10.

I was really delighted with how well produced it was. I know OVAs and full cours have very different production schedules, but I really hope the Bloom Into You anime can approach how pretty Kase-san was to look at.

Not to get too heavy here but this kinda thing always sucks since its like

Show has explicit lesbians: theyd never do that with guys/theyre just good friends
Show has explicit lesbians and is sexy: ugh, this is fap material with BLOWJOB KNEES
Show has heavily implied lesbianism: how dare you ruin this strong female friendship/its just yuribait for straight dudes
Show has yuribait: see its just fanservice/these relationships are hard to relate to
Show has no real yuribait but its main cast is mostly girls so people ship them: this fandoms been overrun by MEN/i dont understand why youd read it this way??
Show has comedy lesbian who isnt treated that badly or anything: ugh, theyre just pandering to men
Show veers hard right on previous yuribaiting: see, its just yuribait

Theres literally no winning and it sucks. Actually the winning move is to play bad vita games and ignore it but thats hard sometimes

this is a lame joke to make in the context of lesbians getting frustrated over being gut punched by the second season of a show they found meaning in, and continuing frustration over having other stuff they find meaning in discarded by popular discussion
