The first episode of Black Clover was super underwhelming. The protagonist is irritating to listen to.

Man, I bet the owners of the annoying parrot who voices Black Clover's main character are super proud. They must have trained him for ages.

Apparently this is the general consensus. They could not have picked a more irritating VA to do the main character. It was a terrible decision on their part.

He sounds less energetic and rambunctious and more like someone dropped him on his head way too much as an infant.

You can make 99% of proper cocktails at home, you just need to own a handful of common spirits and mixers. Just adding milk to whisky or Kahlua isn't making cocktails. :v:

Sometimes, when I'm feeling adventurous, I just drink milk straight without any whisky at all.

How are the fanservice levels? I've heard it's a bit more gratuitous than is even justified by the onsen setting. I like a good relaxing cozy show, but sudden-onset fanservice really harshes my mellow.

King's Game reminds me of The Lost Village from a year or so ago. Never finished that, did it turn out cool? Last I remembered was the main character running away from a Macy's Parade float, which sounds pretty cool to me.

The premise of some horse skull demon buying a young kid to be his child bride does not seem like a good show to jump on but it seems to be rated pretty highly.

The premise is handled well so far as far as I can tell.

Man, Girls last tour and Just Because really mellow you out... some of the most wonderfully relaxing stuff since Non Non Biyori or Barakamon.

Girls Last Tour is not a relaxing show for me. I think there's a constant undercurrent of tension much of the time.

I might be dropping Land Of The Lustrous. It's incredibly pretty and all, but the moment to moment flow of the show seems to run on weird moon-logic and I'm having a really hard time grounding myself in any of the characters or finding any sort of baseline rules about how life in this setting is even supposed to work. Like, this whole episode went in a big circle where I initally thought they were going to scrape Phos out of those big glowing Phos-colored cracks in the snail shell that Dia explicitly notices and uses to fight the snail, but then they wave it off with "Welp there's nothing in the shell", but then Cinnabar basically says "did you check the shell" and they go back to what I assumed they were going to do 20 minutes ago.

Just a really...odd show.

I think it was mostly that they didn't care all that much. They aren't human and they found her to be particularly annoying. It feels like an alien show and that's the draw for me.

I'm not dropping it but I was a bit disappointed by the latest episode. There was too much of soldiers standing around waiting for people to do things, and the sort of story I thought it was really didn't need a genocide-happy psycho, much as I generally enjoy that type of character.

That character doesn't make sense to me given the fact that they're supposed to be emotionally subdued. They definitely could have sped up the pace substantially and moved the story forward by 5 or 10 minutes. I don't feel there was anything to gain by drawing the moment out so much.

This is why I always, always recommend the FMA manga over Brotherhood. It is a far superior story overall to the original, but the manner in which it rushes through those first 20 or so episodes to get through the first few arcs was beyond the pale.

I hated the main villain and much preferred the 2003 version.

I somehow forgot about that! Man, what a great show. I discovered that show at an extremely appropros time. I was going through a rough patch, adjusting to the fact that I am and will likely remain disabled for the rest of my life.

The show' s handling of those issues (and it's basic cuteness!) were sorely appreciated.

Don't worry friend, no matter what they tell you, liking anime your entire life is not a disability.

Seriously though, if you need to talk about those issues, I have experience with it and would be happy to lend an ear.

Anime-gataris was an absolutely brilliant show. It's a shame it'll probably be overlooked for the most part due to its slow build and meta writing.
