What else would you start with? Technolyze or Welcome to the NHK?

e: I guess the NHK LN designs are a little bit different to the anime/manga ones

Did they ever stop doing the abuse fetish joke with Hori that Miyamura was clearly not comfortable with? I liked it otherwise but that part was so offputting.

Lol nope.

It definitely required a discussion about boundaries and whatnot with Miyamura, but there was some level of lol to it realizing that she wanted the positive male in her life to treat her like her lovely shiftless dad kaioken x10.

In other news I cannot believe that the Adachi and Shimamura author decided the best bonus for the final volume of a 12 ep anime adaptation was a story about one of them after the other, and every other named character, has died of old age. It's cool but drat, especially attached to something that only covered early parts of the books.

That really feels like a mood killer, lol.

There was something I didn't particularly like that I couldnt put my finger on about adachi and shimamura so I don't think I'll watch it, but is it a girls last tour thing like "look how beautiful and fleeting life is" or what?

I was continuously reassured that adachi was supposed to be a terrible person and the story is about her improving herself etc etc but the anime ended before that even started lol

It didn't...really sell me on the series tbh

the adachi & shimamura anime has some cool visuals and the side characters are fun but it basically ends long before any real exploration of its own leads happens. i can get not wanting to rush stuff too much but like it's paced as if it's the front half of a 24 episode anime, and not 12 eps of what could potentially be all that gets adapted period

it's honestly in a similar boat to bloom into you to me, where it's a solid adaptation of what it covers but like. what it covers isn't even the cool part of the story lol

I feel like most things that get sold on 'terrible person improves'are pretty bad at it, be it the person in question not being interesting enough to care about their improvement or something else, though it's been long enough for A&S I dont recall for sure if that was my issue.

The manga had really nice art though.

i mean adachi isn't so much a terrible person who's awful to others or anything she's just insanely bad at interacting with people

like the conflict is that she constantly ducks out of social interactions and doesn't know how to understand or convey her feelings well, the anime just, ends before she really takes any steps towards rectifying this

Maybe I'll give it another shot since mangadex is still down and it's up on dynasty.

I do recall that those girls needed to go to class more, from one truant to another. :colbert:

Well that's interesting. We'll be getting the Konosuba RPG in October. Hopefully that means more Japanese games get translated.

Heeeeeey


Is the Konosuba game any good? From my experience with japanese ttrpgs they tend to have interesting ideas but mechanics you would have seen ten, twenty years ago.

Edit: not that that's necessarily a bad thing, sometimes it works but other times it feels like they're trying to reinvent the wheel

An official Konosuba RPG seems very un-konosuba, given that its main characters are all meant to be "playing" the RPG rules their world runs on very badly.

The third episode of TWEWY was decent as well. I guess the first one just felt so rushed because they wanted to get in all the introductions right off the bat or something

Speaking of which, do we have any idea how long this series is supposed to last? I can’t imagine it’ll be that long since we already reached the end of the first Reaper’s Game in just 3 episodes.

Whoops, I meant third episode. Fixed.

And I forget, would that be enough for them to get through the whole game or will it be like the Persona 5 anime where it winds up spilling into a couple OVAs as well?
