My one-episode opinion of Sign of Affection is that it will be exactly as good as Yamada lv 999 and whether that’s good or bad is up to you.

They introduce other characters with their own unique body issues but the main thrust is still about exercise and portion control.

They also add some horny for MC guy jokes with some of the characters.

It's not bad, but fairly dry. Think "Love After World Domination" minus the romance.

Seemed weird to me as well, but I guess as long as she doesn't mind. Also seemed to be progressing way too quickly but maybe that's just my expectations set by the glacial pace of a lot of anime/manga romances lol

In other developments, I've decided to drop a couple of shows:

Pon no Michi didn't interest me after the first episode, but if you like cute girls doing things cutely, and are willing to wade through the rules of Mah Jong, you might like it.

Mr. Villain's Day Off was repeating the same gags in the first episode, and Miss Kuroitsu from The Monster Development Department did it far better.

In turn, I'm going to pick up The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic after trying the first episode on the recommendation of a few folks I trust and finding it to be a good start. All three of my holdovers from last season continue to be excellent, whoever said Fluffy Paradise's protag isn't OP really needs to roll that back, and I'm sticking with Sasaki & Peeps, but right now if feels like multiple personality syndrome with all the different plotlines going on.

Hokkaido Gals is exactly what you'd expect, going from the OP it might end up being more haremy than I'd like though.


E: there sure are two shows about a dude being a slave this season. Which is not that many but it's weird it happened twice.

yeah i was pleasantly surprised by the animation, i only know Pine Jam for Do It Yourself!!, which wasn't badly animated aside from the attempts at CGI but it was definitely a whole different ballgame here and they executed it pretty well. some good gags, i really liked how cute the art style for the ED was, as long as they vary up the formula enough i think i'll be sticking with it

also as an aside the misnomer title also got me flamed into starting HxH which absolutely rules so far so thank you, Pine Jam

Thirding that. Fun episode but it runs the risk of the joke wearing out fast if they aren't creative with it.

Entertaining in a shitpost kinda way, so worth a look. I did like the scribbles art in the ED.

Fluffy paradise features the most OP three year old I've ever seen in anime, and she basically still has the mind of a child aside from the occasional moment of clarity when she realizes just how over her head she's in. No real adult would be this obsessed with petting animals, she has no fear. She's also not taking her job as arbiter of mankind very seriously, it's almost like the author continually forgets this is an isekai story and their editor is reminding them.

Ive got people telling me Torture is still good as a manga 150 chapters later so I guess they managed to keep it going. I never read it for the same apprehension you have though

Yeah, they find a lot of ways to switch up the bit. It's maybe starting to flag a little bit in chapter (checks notes) 215, but there's easily enough gas in the tank to zip through one cour.

It's hard to stop reading TTFTP because almost every chapter is exactly 11 pages. It's so bite-sized it never feels like a bit overstays its welcome.

Also, Hell Lord is the best.

I think ‘Time for Torture’ manga is really boring now that she’s all in on it. But the anime probably won’t get there so it just live on with the good chapters

Time for Torture has exactly one joke and it runs it into the ground. That said this premiere was weirdly amazingly well animated and acted, so I'll watch it until I get bored with its shtick.

It does mix it up a little (but obviously not enough) with side tangents in the lives of the other demons, but yeah, the majority of the series is built around this one thing.
