I have to say that Jellyfish's artistic inferiority arc hit me like a bag of bricks. Though I'm not sure if the resolution is great...

I'm not convinced that's entirely resolved.

At least I sort of hope it isn't and it's more she's putting on a happy face about it, but maybe I'm seeing what I want to see in the writing that's not actually there.

ok i'm finally in the anime zone. i'm sort of going in alphabetical order with what i chose to watch starting with the first episode

a condition called love: yoooo, this one is cooking!!!! nothing!!! they served me a toast sandwich and the crowd is going absolutely, somewhere else!!! i like romance anime and shoujo, but this is one of the blandest premieres i've ever seen. gimme some fuckin personality, the only thing that happens in the episode is this dipshit cut his hair to please this girl that he just met a day ago at a panera bread, and then digs around in snow for hours to find a hairpin and gets frostbite. this himbo is a him-no for me

a salad bowl of eccentrics: i like the premise and the dynamic between a dad-guy detective and a chaotic neutral magical girl, so i'll keep watching, but the fanservice with livia adds nothing and is kinda boring. i did really like the scenes of livia and the homeless man though, they were charming

astro note: yo what the gently caress is going on with the art. why's it look like that. the drawings are low-res & upscaled and there's some sort of bad interlacing on them too, so you lose detail on the drawings. the animation isn't even great to begin with but how'd they gently caress that up. i like the idol character, and that's about it. this show wants its characters to be kooky oddballs, but they forgot to make them kooky. this is failson ikkoku

I decided after last week to drop it. It's not horrible, just dull. A promising idea executed unimaginatively.

I will not be abandoning Kimiko Ueno. Also the recent ep balancing recurring squid puns, a payoff to the love hotel gag, and a surprisingly sweet crossdressing plotline puts it firmly back into Good territory.

It made me finally get around to watching Maison Ikkoku at least, which just makes Astro Note look so much worse by comparison...

Also it seems like the crossover will go both ways with Shinnosuke and Shiro making some kind of appearance in next week’s Wonderful episode (in other words it’s essentially going to be just like the Abaranger/Tsuribaka Nisshi crossover back in the day)

So far the knight had worked at a cabaret, almost joined a cult, been homeless and is now living with the cult leader who worships her as a god. Oh and they are starting a band with her cabaret co worker.

Meanwhile the main character taught the other main character how to ride a bicycle.

Unless the main character is a spider. Then you want to wish all the side characters into the cornfield.

From episode 1 and the start you think the episode is gonna go one way and than suddenly It's a surprisingly sweet and touching story about a mom and her daughter Just a real good low key episode

Hahaha! Aw come on, I can't tell you everything right away! That would make for a boring story, don't you think?

I gave up on link click due to the incredibly lovely english translation in the subs in the second season. It's really not acceptable to have what appear to be machine translated subtitles in TYOOL 2024. I KNOW there are plenty of people you could be paying to do an official translation. Get it together.

I'll be hoping for a fan sub.

In other news, the Maho Girls Precure sequel is still alive and will be released within the 2024 fiscal year (likely in January due to the network already being booked solid for the summer and fall and it being listed after the Wonderful movie in September)

Five episodes into Kaiju No. 8, the OP is definitely coming across as a weird choice. Completely disregarding any discussion of the actual song's quality, the OP implies a much more downbeat and serious show, when in actuality it's a pretty bog-standard shounen in terms of tone. Hell, it's probably more outright comedic than a lot of other action series I've read/watched.

Also the show is... fine. Not really grabbing me.
