Nitrousoxide posted:The trick is all evolution cares about is that you are able to successfully reproduce. Once you've reproduced and your children are in a position to successfully reproduce as well you enter the blind zone of evolution where whatever happens to you doesn't matter from an evolutionary perspective. There's a grey zone for more developed organisms that rewards extended life beyond reproductive age insofar as it helps younger generations survive and so forth, but even in species with those sort of complex social dynamics, they typically end up as the first ones who voluntarily or involuntarily are sacrificed for survival when danger or hard times arrive. (we ignore the universal exception, humans.) So there's some evolutionary advantage to longer life, but it requires a bunch of other stuff for it to actually be viable for a given species.

she's short and busty and causes a futa chapter or something idk frankly it was weirder that people were obsessing over the potential of her being included and not the valentines story that they actually adpated into an actual ova that existed years before s2 would ever be announced

yeah, iruru isn't a focal point for contentious content any more than any other character. the dick chapter results in roughly the same collar-tug loli/gender-essentialist jokes as the love potion one, so there's not actually something to avoid there (whoops). and she's actually introduced with a character arc unlike, say, lucoa. shes a cool char frankly (also a Cool character. ha ha)

I think Iruru is a pretty gross character in the manga but judging by her height next to Torhu in that picture maybe they've aged her up a bit for the anime so it's not quite so bad.

So with the spider show. Have the other kids been in the world longer then she has, are the human scenes a time skip, or have they only just been in their bodies a few days or weeks by this point?

At this point, the book does mention that they were reincarnated as babies in their new world and they aren't body snatchers or something like that.

Really liking "I'm a spider, so what?" so far. Small Lesser Taratect: No Name is one of the most tenacious and doggedly optimistic protagonists I've read/seen in a while. She really just meets her reality on its own terms and that's fun.

Spider show is going exactly how I expected: watching it for our nameless Spider, bored out of my mind during the non-spider parts. This is why the Manga is the best version of Spider. (The anime is still good, tho.)

Yuuki Aoi was definitely an inspired choice for no-longer-Lesser-but-still-Small Taratect No Name. She's basically playing it as Hibiki from Symphogear, but a spider, and I'm surprised at how down I am for that.

She's basically playing it as Hibiki from Symphogear, but a spider, and I'm surprised at how down I am for that. She's great, it's a series that rests on the strength of its monologues and Aoi Yuuki really is the best for it and clearly it's going to get even more awesome later. I don't mind the class mates, I "dislike" them as "people" but probably more an extension of how I dislike generic isekai's but I actually like what the show is doing by adding them in even if it removes some of the mystery aspect. It lets the series cover more ground and better pace the intensity of the action because otherwise it's like the Star Wars death start trench run the entire goddamn time and I can see that exhausting people. Is anyone thinking of making a thread, I have a WIP OP written up, but if someone else wants to they can.

Tenchi Souzou Design-bu isn’t revolutionary, but is certainly a very fun and enjoyable watch. It’s a shame it’ll probably lost in the sea of high profile anime but it’s comedic, educational and cute. Would recommend.

Jaku-Chara gives me similar vibes to that transitional period of Watamote where Tomoko is slowly just started to "get" it, but where our MC is basically getting an easy mode version of the same story where a lot more people around him are like, actually willing to talk to him and be friendly while a much less amount of the same sort of cringe Tomoko went through.

Bottom-Tier Character Tomozaki - The trope of making a nerdy loner student into a more sociable person isn't new. But frequently, they just magically become popular despite themselves. I kind of dig how they're forcing the MC in this show to actually work at it with an actual plan that sounds reasonable.

I'm a big fan of romcoms in general but they don't generate a lot of discussion, so sometimes I miss them. This one is particularly well crafted and funny too, even if it is about as generic as they come.

Baka Yarou is very good and it combines very sharp writing with some inspired character design. So we have Imperial China vs 19th Century Europe duking it out and the 3rd world country on the periphery is Colonial-era America. Who are of course total assholes in their own right. The writers know what they're doing with "they're resisting!" The show is a tad mean to the cowardly guy, but they're clearly going for some kind of character arc with him.

Horimiya is still in the will they/wont they stage and introducing the characters and the part of the manga where the tone is still straddling drama with comedy. It's not bad, but the strength of the series is in the comedic portions and Hori and Miyamura actually being a couple.Everything Burrito posted:what's generic about it It's "generic" insofar as there's no special setting or relationship hooks. No dark pasts for drama. No weird character or setting quirks. Just a bunch of high schoolers goofing off and living their lives and having fun. There's not a wild setting or relationship twist either. It's basically a very good vanilla RomCom. jimmydalad posted:Tenchi Souzou Design-bu isn’t revolutionary, but is certainly a very fun and enjoyable watch. It’s a shame it’ll probably lost in the sea of high profile anime but it’s comedic, educational and cute. Would recommend.  In a season with extremely powerful comfy anime, this is getting blown out of the water, but it's comfy on its own and fairly solid atm. One thing to note, in the official translation, the characters names are changed to various planets as each of those characters has a kanji related to that given planet in their name (so the engineer is Mars since they have the fire kanji in their name and the bird person has the wood(or was it metal?) kanji in their name so they're named Venus). But that's more a translation thing than anything.

I agree w/the bolded parts, and mostly just don't think it's necessary to do some kind of backhanded complement with "it's just some generic romance but it's good" type commentary for it. In fact I think *not* having a bunch of extraneous, superficial quirks and being focused on telling a grounded story with realistic characters makes it very much not generic at all.
