I went into Sasaki and Peeps with high hopes because I tend to like shows that mash elements of different genres together, but I ended up being very disappointed. Sasaki’s personality just doesn’t work for me; he’s so morose and lifeless 90% of the time, barely reacting to anything that’s going on around him, and most of the side characters are as flat as cardboard, especially the ones in the fantasy world. Peeps seems like he’d fun, but only if he had a better co-star to bounce off of.

also, i like funny faces and sign of affection has plenty of that, but i was really impressed with some of the shot compositions. hats off to whoever made standing outside of a red robin analogue look this compelling.

Something I hadn't thought about until I heard it on a video the other day is that elf fans have been eating real good these past couple of years. Not just Frieren and Marcille, but we had "Otaku Elf" last Spring and "Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf" has recently been announced. Then there's all of Cid's crew in "Eminence in Shadow." Now all we need is "Plus-Sized Elf" and [REDACTED BEFORE THIS POST BRINGS IT INTO BEING BECAUSE I APPEAR TO BE A GODDAMNED CASSANDRA] ... ...okay, maybe not that last one. Who can say. Either way, we're having an Eflstravaganza here. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST) Doodles fucked around with this message at 18:57 on Jan 8, 2024 |

I took American Sign Language in school, obviously it's very different, but still fun to compare with this and A Silent Voice.

Reiterating the love for A Sign of Affection. So SO pretty and the way they animate enunciating and sign language is very good. The music and the atmosphere is giving very Mushishi vibes for me; it makes my brain all relaxed and happy.

Pan Dulce posted:Sasaki to Pi-chan was so weird. I don't know if I like it yet or not. Between the isekai bit, the psychic bit, and what appears to be a mysterious schoolgirl (who may be jealous and likes you), it's a lot to take in. I haven't read what it's based on. Does it get even more convoluted? In a fun way? Does it get uncomfortably weird with the girl? Wish I knew. The english manga only goes up to volume 2, and I haven't delved into the 6 released LNs.

Sign of Affection was pretty neat. Reminds of an old jdrama I watched 20 years ago called Orange Days with a similar melodramatic setting and a hearing impaired character. anime wise, hits the same notes as Honey & Clover for me.

Checked out Sign of Affection thanks to the discussion and a +1 on really liking it. It has a nice relaxed pace to it, and feels like very down to earth even with the sight gags. Definitely going to continue watching.

I'm not typically here for romance but I did really like Skip and Loafer's natural dynamic and ensemble. How is Sign of Affection in qualitative comparison?

Just checked out 7th Time Loop. I know, I know, another freaking isekai, but the art is interesting and I like that the heroine has lived out so many lives she just couldn't give a poo poo anymore and wants to live a relaxed life with the guy who killed her in her most recent past life, the king (soon to be Emperor).

Does it really count as an isekai if they're not from a different world? Poor girl is just stuck in a groundhog day setup.
