Maybe their version of Dwarves are just basically Grey Elves without the ears.

Why Gazel more resembles a gruff mountaineer than even Thorin Oakenshield is beyond me.

Aside from the dwarf guy it was a good episode. Veldora turning out to be a mega weeb was hilarious.

It is just because he is a hero of dwarfs which apparently changes your body anatomy completely compared to every other dwarf

Everyone needs to lay off Gazel. He's very sensitive about his gigantism.

Comparing that bizarre isekai parody to JK Haru is insulting to JK Haru, which is actually really good and is a pretty effectively pointed genre satire

The JK Haru author's other works are significantly more questionable than the isekai parody thing, though, so maybe not dive too deep into this.

what does that have to do with whether or not JK Haru is effective satire?

(also I was curious what other works were so bad and it doesn't look like the author has done anything other than that novel and a short story collection so are you talking about the artist of the manga?)

Ah ok, I was just looking at the mangaupdates page which only had the one thing but I still don't see why writing some trashy smut invalidates their other work :shrug:

trashy web novel writing isn't exactly making a kadokawa manga that randomly pulls characters from other artists' work to call those characters immoral rapists

Lt. Lizard posted:

The one thing I don't comprehend about this whole thing is that the isekai genre does not exactly lack morally dubious protagonists who do vile things on pretty flimsy justifications and would easily work as a despicable villains with pretty much little or no change of their character. So why, instead of using those guys, would you use characters that are traditionally heroic and where you have to basically completely rewrite their personality to make them the monsters your protagonist can dunk on?

Like why turn some guy with Gandalf grandfather into a horrible rapist when the protagonist from Redo of Healer is right there?

I think this is the hardest criticism for the guy to dodge. When you're ostensibly parodying the excesses of the genre, but somehow your personifications of the excesses keep appearing in the form of characters that didn't engage in those excesses but that did achieve equal or greater commercial success relative to your own works, the whole thing takes on an air of sour grapes.

Seems like there really has been a hell of a lot of isekai shovelware this season. Seriously, way too many premieres so far have been way too bland and samey.

I really want Kanojo mo Kanojo to be good. I can accept that it's necessarily going to be a goofball comedy, and I'm very curious to see how it threads the needle between that and being a plausible situation with the sincere, honest idiot guy and four chicks (the intro and outro make it clear it's going to go that way).

That’s the one where he has to date the girls or they die, so it just constantly escalates in ridiculousness?

I don't think the anime is quite succeeding at making it look like Redhead Girlfriend is into Bluehair Girlfriend

Also the OP is set to a godawful song.

artiswitch takes a swerve this time, with an absolute shitter. thankfully, Nina can teach humility and confidence. and perhaps a hint that we will have some overarching narrative build in the second half?!
