Why live without the uplifting struggles of young people.
everyone in new jojo is between 15 - 21 and they struggle with reforming organized crime and having to drink another guy's piss

I'll probably watch it, even though I'm in the minority and the 4th jojo kinda lost me. (fell off watching it and never picked it up again in the second cour I believe)
that's a shame, Part 4 is really good.

you don't need to have finished to enjoy Part 5, but it's a chill goofy time with some of the best writing in the series so idk maybe try it again but yeah Part 5 is almost entirey standalone

First episode of running boys is fantastic

It looks great and all the boys are very cute and distinctive :3: It covers a lot of ground as far as introducing everyone, laying out the premise, and setting up some drama and angst. Music was very good as well, I liked the ED a lot as well as the track that played at the end during their early morning run. Also there is a cute dog!!

I've been wanting another show with team sports and older characters -- there isn't really much that falls into that category (One Outs, Giant Killing, Gurazeni which I have unfortunately not watched yet) so this is really filling a niche for me and I already love it. The college setting should be fun as well. There's a pretty big age spread between the oldest and youngest characters so I think it'll be interesting to see how those dynamics play out, as well as all the different personalities clashing.
I watched this too.

It's still a bit of an unknown quantity, but I enjoyed the first episode. Not sure if this is going to be more of a drama or a chill comedy, but I liked the characters and looking forward to more of their chemistry. Them being all in college and almost total beginners to the sport are refreshing and make this feel relatable, at least to me imo.

the sleepy manga literature student is a huge mood, down to the field of study. i love him

I also just finished the first episode of Bloom Into You and I'm a bit colder on it. I found the animation to be pretty sterile, and there were some weird shot choices (a strange amount of first person scenes in the first half?). They would also cut scenes short, move onto the next scene, and then in the next scene, flashback to the last scene and continue from where it left off. Sometimes they wouldn't even do that and would just end scenes early, like when our two love interests meet, they talk for a bit, and are clearly going to keep interacting because they're working together, but then the scene ends and we're later in the day? Like no what happened, go back!

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

I think it's more sports focused? It feels like it anyway with the "rival" type having a leg injury he's still getting over. It's based off a novel so I don't know anyone who knows the source material

also that show is getting 23 episodes which is way more than i thought

Lemon-Lime posted:

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.
Okay interesting! That's good to hear, thanks.

Yeah I might switch to the manga, the presentation of the anime might be doing more harm than good

I was wondering how sympathetic the show wanted me to be towards the MC. It's a hard line to walk between "You absolutely shouldn't date someone you're not interested in" and "you're being way too unreasonable" and I found Bloom Into You felt more like the former imo

like even the arc of berserk where guts is frequently left in the middle of a field of children's corpses ends on the idea that there it's pointless to always run from your situation and seek a paradise, but to stick it out in the battlefield of your life and idk I like that
