Is it more or less gay than Yuri on Ice?

I haven't seen that, but I wasn't joking, the main character of Dive is gay. Not in a sports anime way, like, in a genuine real life way

Sounds like Yuri on Ice then. Rangpur wasn't joking either i'm guessing.

Then shouldn't it have been called Yaoi on Ice?

Also I didn't realize that the last YowaPedal was the loving finale! Bad sports anime, you are supposed to run forever. Also what a bad spot to end.

but we're gonna get more of the old third years! Now, yeah, their story arc was completed ages ago and they have no reason at all to still be in the show, but it the third years! You love them so they will never leave!

i'm a million years behind but here's my takes on a couple first episodes

Tsurezure Children: cute and funny
Isekai Restaurant: dull, but not offensively so and more characters could make it better

The second episode of Isekai Restaurant changed my opinion on the show. It's not dull, it's good

So, Vatican Miracle Examiner is kinda badass. It has everything!

- Hype OP!
- Mystery-solving handsome boys!
- Gory murders!
- More handsome boys!
- Satan!

and much more. It's the type of show that pairs well with drinking a lot of Communion wine, and I'm enjoying the campyness so far.

This episode we're introduced to a new character who lives by herself in a converted train car behind the station. She has a little train set in the car. She gets home feeling lonely and abandoned by her friend, and the model trains transform into very cartoony little robots that give her life advice. Nothing in the show to this point has established that it takes place in a sci-fi universe where helper robots are a thing. There's been no casual use of futuristic technology, all the computers and cars and stuff look like modern day things, etc. And the train robots don't look like realistic near future robots, they look like cartoons.

I'm sure there'll be a flashback or backstory episode where the girl explains that her parents bought her some friend robots before they died so she wouldn't be lonely or something like that. But just going off the evidence presented so far, they're hallucinations.

I'm sorry if schizophrenic was the wrong term. I was just surprised when the cute show about high schoolers putting on a show had a scene that was basically one of the scenes from I Am A Hero where Hideo is alone and talks to the little guy.

Dangerous question of the day: why are the series' merfolk designed as fish from the knees down, opposed to the traditional waist down? Everything about this seems like a miserable existence for them :(

The aquatic adaptation of merpeople is a combination of cetaceans and seals. Cetaceans' tails are actually their tails, their hindlimbs have gone all vestigial and are just small bones inside their bodies, like the midlimbs of merpeople. But seals' tails are a fusion of the hindlimbs like merpeople's tails. Seals don't have that gap that merpeople do though. I don't know of any animals in our world that developed a tail in that way. But of course the fossil record is very patchy, and I'm not even sure how easy it would be to tell an adaptation like that just from the skeleton, fused at crotch vs. fused with a crotch gap.

I should go to Toei and get the stick out of their rear end that's causing them to charge so much for Kamen Rider.

What's going on there, do they think that if it came to the US it would be as big as Power Rangers so they're asking for Power Rangers money?

I don't think Centaur's Worries is supposed to have a consistent theme. It's an examination of the lives of the characters, with enough world-building to help you understand them and the world they live in. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's serious.

Hungry mermaid and her new boyfriend were very cute in the new Isekai Shokudou. However! There are only a few episodes left (:() and the OP promised me a gang of fairies in awe of a dessert and I'm still waiting :colbert:

I agree with all this, but the promise of dwarfs next week will hold me until the fairies show up
