Anyone watching Tokyo Revengers? If you didn't like it before, the new season isn't gonna change your mind. But it's got even more incredible hairstyles and outlandish gang outfits. I'm into it.

I am and the retcons and inconsistencies have gotten so absurd that they have wrapped all the way around around from stupid to hilarious. Like how the protag took over as captain of an entire existing division AND had a rival gang with over a hundred members get absorbed under him, but somehow they all manage to disappear between episodes and all he has are his 4 dweeby middle school friends and a sidekick. Also, these kids have gotten to JoJo levels of jacked. Maybe stop feeding your children anabolic steroids, Japan?

I'm definitely going to watch it, but it's switched from "How is this all going to resolve?" to "What stupid poo poo are they going to come up with next?"

The problem with the manga is all the girls rule and I was worried we'd spend too much time adding more potential girls in instead of fleshing out the stellar cast we have so far but the newest chapter alleviated that fear.

I want stage magic girl or hamster girl to win but there's no bad choice. UNless water user girl returns.

the whole reason hes in the plot is because his sister is gay so doesnt want to marry a guy and have a kid, so him also becoming gay feels like uhhh Mirroring

Marriage Toxin already has a buddy/ally character who is stronger than all these superpowered genetic freaks entirely because he wants his wife to be happy and so they can start a restaurant together so he's just killing evil crime syndicates to make sure the world is peaceful. The manga already has The Strongest Wife Guy, they can let the main character marry the pretty boy.

I've been watching Overtake as I like motorsports but BOY IS IT REALLY SLOW. 4 Eps and we're barely getting to know the characters and their underlying traumas and so far there's been almost no actual racing. At least the animation and art design is good.

Sounds like most racing events, IMO. Once you get past lap 1 and the grid stretches out the races get pretty boring until some dumbass bins it into the wall and brings out a yellow flag.

also 100 gfs was really good this week, ironically i'm usually the person complaining about romcoms not having enough comedy but for this one it took a less comedic ep to convince me that it's good. guess everything's really just all in the telling after all

This is why you compete in multi-class races so there's always the risk of being taken out by someone going twice your speed :v:

I was very annoyed by it because I told my partner "you have to see just how ridiculous this is" and then it immediately let me down by trying to be serious.

ep 1 was extremely solid comedy and this ep was extremely solid serious stuff and it's impressive for a romcom to nail both vibes even if the middle episode was a rather bad misstep

The manga can flip flop between serious and comedic on a pin and it makes it work somehow.

Yeah, its a bit slow but I'm at least enjoying it more than mf ghost. The romance stuff in mfg is awful, probably because the girl character is just insanely boring.

apothecary diaries is cool but it feels like it's underexecuting a bit to me, the flow is off, i think the director is maybe just bad since i was also down on his ancient magus bride adaptation despite having no obvious issues with the animation, production values, etc. this one's more my type of series than that one was though, i'll still be watching, it just lacks some amount of finesse.

I feel like the Apothecary Diaries adaptation is leaning into the romcom aspect instead of court intrigue and mysteries. Certainly the central relationship is a big part of the success of the series, but I feel like the manga had a greater sense of the dangers of court life. Maomao talking out of turn could get her and her family killed, and MaoManga was keenly aware of how fragile her life is.

I kinda agree. It's, like, serviceable because of what it's based on, but doesn't really elevate the material at all and I'd kind of rather just read the manga.

Guess the season really caught me by surprise because stuff is like 3 eps in now and I'm just barely starting to feel like catching up/getting started.

100 Girlfriends: On chat recommendation I checked it out and It's like an actually good Kanojo no Kanojo. Enjoyable but they are gonna need to pick up the pace to get to all 100
