Thunderbolt Fantasy s02 should have :siren:s around it.

Looks like a pretty light season for me (just Thunderbolt, and I might check out Merc Storia and Spyce), which is good, because I still have Harukana Receive and Revue Starlight to watch.

poo poo, I just remembered that I haven't watched the movie yet.

The movie's really good but don't do this if you don't want to spend every second of s02 where Enigmatic Gale/Thief of the Wind Dust/Lin Xue Ya is on screen, wishing he were dead instead. :colbert:

I also am not vibing off any of the characters yet and am really not feeling any sparks between our two leads. They both struggle with finding love and someone they really connect with and I'm cool with that, I've totally had to turn down people I wasn't interested in and that's a tough thing to deal with, but suddenly our deuteragonist thinks she's falling in love with the lead and confesses....and then they wave it off and skip to the next day?

I guess I'm just kinda confused? I'm sure a lot of this is just first episode establishing stuff, but I'm a little frustrated since I've heard a ton about this, but I felt stuff like Citrus which had it's flaws and even Run Like The Wind this season got me hooked on the character relationships quickly in the first episode and left me wanting more in a good way. I dunno, I'm gonna stick with it for a few more episodes but I felt this was a weird episode, I dunno maybe the manga would be more my speed, or im weird idk

The weird, no-chemistry relationship is intended.

The premise of the manga is that both main characters have a weird, unhealthy attitude to relationships, and Nanami suddenly deciding she's into Yuu is part of that. Pretty much 80% of what happens in the manga is exploring why Nanami thinks that way, and it takes a good ~15 chapters until you have enough context for her behaviour to make sense and for their relationship to not feel odd.

So all that stuff is absolutely the point, though I haven't seen the episode so I have no idea how much ground the show is going to cover. I suspect it'll end around chapter 30 because that's the most natural break-point in the manga so far, so you can probably expect it to take anywhere between 5 and 7 episodes until things start falling into place.

based on the description of bloom into you i just assumed the character was ace

She's gay but she read too much shoujo romance manga as a child so she's incapable of finding satisfaction in normal human relationships because no one is dramatically stating that they'd be willing to die 800 times forever in agony for their love.

This isn't a joke post, that's literally her backstory.

So I guess she's the anime equivalent of someone who watches too many romcoms and never dates because no one is """the one"""

Yes.

I hope GFL gets big enough that this actually happens and also consists entirely of UMP9 chewing on the carpet and getting stuck in the washing machine for 13 episodes.

The anime doesn't deviate from the manga at all.

So yeah, we're going to wait a while until there's enough material for a third season. The manga is still only a few chapters into the arc immediately after Kou's departure.

I assumed he was just a mutant or the third eye was gained through mystical enlightenment.

He's descended from some aliens who settled on earth millennia ago.
