Ask me about moons
Fact #1 The Moon is really cool
Is Kemurikusa going to be streamed anywhere? The website says Prime but that might just be for Japan..

Edit: Oop there it is on Amazon.

Unfortunately I've had the pleasure of watching death note like 10+ years ago and I'll never experience it fresh and new and as I currently think as an adult.

I'll probably watch From the new world. Thanks!
I will never be able to properly watch Death Note. The first thing I knew of it from 12 years back was the mad laugh scene and:

General premise spoilers for the manga, don't click if you just want to speculate: Demons eat humans in general, but these kids' facility is an artisanal farm for the elite. All the unnecessary stuff is the same kind of bullshit status symbol you'd get at a high-end restaurant where the steaks are made out of decoratively-bred cows raised on caviar and gold leaf.

There might actually be more to it than that. The way demons seem to have varying levels of intelligence, as well as one scene where a demon becomes more powerful after eating another demon, makes me wonder if eating smart humans makes demons smarter.

The Promised Neverland scared the poo poo out of me it owns. I like all the characters, I love the adventure feels, the art is great, I'm so hype.

The mix is similar to From The New World but it feels kinda more raw, if that makes sense.

Good anime.

First episode of Promised Neverland seemed good but everyone's weird tiny faces were creepin me out

honestly, same. I read part of the manga by coincidence when I subscribed to shonen jump and I didn't think it would look so off-putting animated

The Promised Neverland had a really good first episode. I know nothing of the manga (other than "you should read it") so looking forward to the next ep.

Kemurikusa is mostly exposition so far, and it doesn't look good, but then again neither did KF after one episode. I'm a little surprised we have such a similar set-up with the fish-out-of-water character, but this one doesn't seem like the protagonist at least. I will say that it has the advantage that I have absolutely no idea where the plot is going to end up.

Kemurikusa is a neat show and I definitely want to see how things progress in the following episodes.

Audience surrogate character feels a bit out of place but I'm fine with him so far.

I don’t know what Kemurikusa is or what it wants to be. I’ll give it one more ep.

The Promised Neverland is intriguing but there’ll be SO MUCH HEARTBREAK and I don’t know whether my poor heartses can take it.

My Roommate Is A Cat might just be anime of THE EVER.

Good anime.

From The New World is intentionally sterile, atmospheric horror. This was much more immediate and visceral.

is it just that the romance becomes trite when it falls into a post-apocalyptic last man and woman in the world thing?

I don’t even think it’s that cynical. You’re 100% correct, although people might complain that it was just Kaban again if Wakaba was a girl.

Eh, I’m not necessarily against that. You get the impression that she’s literally never seen a dude before in her life. I think it’s going to be played for gags.

I guess I am “cautiously optimistic.”

A story about a boy doing X and a story about a girl (or an enby, for that matter) doing that exact same X in the exact same way are still different stories because of the broader context in which those stories exist and can never be separated from, hth

And I don't even have any especially strong feelings about Wakaba yet.

I agree with both of these posts and and stuff like gender does influence the story on its own even absent other factors, and it's not like I don't have issues with how Wakaba was introduced or anything like that.

Just that the impression I get from some people around the internet in this particular case is that they have the way too prevalent kneejerk "boy in a cute girls show = bad" reaction without thinking too hard about it. Gives me flashbacks to when some people relentlessly bashed Love Lab because the show about girls wanting to fall in love with boys ended up being about girls wanting to fall in love with boys.

Wow Sentai that's an amazing amount of failure. You pasted the credits roll from a random BanG Dream season 1 episode into season 2, despite almost the entire production staff being different, and half the voice actors playing in the episode not appearing in those credits. And you name/credit the opening and ending songs from season 1 and none of the new songs.
