I really can't stand dubs except for a very small handful of shows which have, you know, actual good voice acting.

Wixoss is an incredibly important story of lesbian sexuality and how society denies women love, approval, and affection based on things like mental disorders, sexuality, economic status, appearance, etc. it's an amazing anime even if it gets very infodumpy at times

Endorph posted:

edit: Also Wixoss using card games as an excuse is entirely justified because the term for battling in that series is literally just a pun on the term used for homosexual marriage. like if you told me to tl it id go with 'same selector battling' or 'homoselector marriage' or something. it rules.

I've had Wixoss vaguely on my watch list for ages despite knowing nothing about it, but now I am excite

Picked up Girls Und Panzer for the third time and this time it 'clicked'.

I watched the first episode way back when it first aired and wrote it off as not my cup of tea despite being really interested in the premise of girls crewing tanks. Then a couple of years ago I went to the Bovington Tank Museum, came home and watched the whole series start to finish.

It's great.

Do you guys think anime has a worse track record than other mediums for disappointing endings? Cause I can think of so many anime I watched that didn't stick the landing after starting out strong, but I don't know if that's just bias from media consumption habits. And of course it's all subjective. I'm wondering if it could be from the elaborate premise a lot of shows start with that then runs into issues with production schedule issues, or because its an adaption that outpaces its source, or just cause writing endings is generally difficult.

I'm not clever or well-read enough to diagnose this, but I have noticed that when anime shows have crappy endings they tend to play out in this particular fashion which I'm having trouble defining.

Elfen Lied was hot poo poo when I was 16 years old but I imagine if I attempted to watch any of it now it would just be plain old cold poo poo.

In fairness this just confirms subtext that has been there more or less since those two side characters were introduced, and was all but text in the chapter focused on the two of them. Though it's good that it looks like there will be at least a temporary shift away from the main couple to let them do things together without dragging out their plot until they just directly say they like each other. More on the side characters is good.

I will literally take any delinquent yuri I can get, there's nowhere near enough (any?) of it.
