Lurker > Robazoid

@GranzonEx in the other anime topic, LTM says they've unblocked you (though kept you on ignore, which you can of course also do to them). So if you unblock them too we can all use this topic and everyone can talk about anime again. I'll try to make the next topic at least, I don't want to monopolize it but I imagine we have a few people who aren't impacted by blocking who can alternate.

I think the terms make sense in that, this way, you two can block each other again eventually. Otherwise the terms would need to be never blocking each other or something, which feels more demanding.

In any case, I'll ask Granzon about unblocking you now. Then you'll be able to read my forthcoming thoughts in the other topic. This angel show is chock full of fanservice so far and it's only been five minutes!

Sorry ZLS, I love you but it's time for me to push some new blood.

...Which might be a bad idea since I don't know if anyone other than me will ever save Dark Gathering or 7th Time Loop, but I'm sticking with my strategy.

I believe that if you build cute girls no matter the genre then Robazoid will appear

This is true. I'm sure I'll watch Clannad someday but I'm in no rush. I should probably finish the VN first.

That Kyou route was just legit so good. Now I'm supposed to go back in and watch the main dude flirt with Nagisa or whoever? That'd be cheating on Kyou!

There's been some discussion in the other anime topic about reaching an accord to end the topic split. Granzon will unblock you, which from my understanding means so you can access the topic from a direct link, which can always be found by viewing the board while logged out in incognito mode or something. The deal Granzon proposed is that, in the future, whoever makes the topics should be someone who isn't blocked or blocking people. Meaning SHINE or Mac or me or whoever. That way, once the current Granzon topic is over, you two can go right back to blocking each other (and ignoring each other in the meantime, I don't care about that, just not blocking).

I just want to talk about anime without it being a huge hassle or excluding anyone. I hope we can reach an agreement. I'm about to watch the first new episode of the season and I doubt my thoughts on this angel harem anime are going to be groundbreaking enough to post in two topics.

I have given my terms to Mac though, I will unblock LTM on the one condition that he never be allowed to make these topics again because there's a lot of other people that he has either blocked or other people have him on ignore.

I think you guys ignoring each other is fine. My understanding is you could still get a direct link to the topics and participate (which seems fair since ignoring the creator would be your choice). Blocking each other is dumb though. It's not like anyone on B8 is stalking and harassing each other.

I guess I'll leave it to Mac to bring those terms over to the other topic. I wouldn't mind making more anime topics, if that's what it comes down to. I don't have anyone blocked. We can have more of my uninspired topic titles and polls!

When I looked it up, I only read the overview on Wikipedia which made it sound like just the basic "alpha/beta" nonsense but with a third quadrant, which is dumb but not too bad. Then I read a bit more later and saw it something to do with unrealistic genitals too and, uh... I stopped reading then! I'm just not going to watch that one show.

Is this on Crunchyroll or anything? Might be one my wife and I would try.

It's on Hidive, sadly. Also, one of the main characters in EttU, Benio, is a siscon creep so it's difficult to recommend to regular people. I think she's hilarious and she never crosses the line, but the fact that she gets close to the line at all on certain things would be a dealbreaker for a lot of people.

Since it sounds like you two usually watch romance stuff, I'd instead recommend Snow White with the Red Hair if you haven't seen it yet. Plus people often compare it to Yona of the Dawn, which you're backing in the anime save-my.

You should try reading You and I are Polar Opposites. It's an ongoing manga that's not too far in, but I think you'd really enjoy it.

I'll look into it! I'm definitely open to recommendations, especially if there are any similar to Engaged to the Unidentified. I still have plenty of manga to work through from my favorite anime too. At a glance, the website I was using has School-Live, Snow White with the Red Hair, Squid Girl, and Flying Witch.

After years and years of being an anime fan, I finally finished my first manga! (I'm reading Dark Gathering and 7th Time Loop too but they're ongoing. I've also finished a four volume one that wasn't very good, it was just so short that it shouldn't really count.)

Engaged to the Unidentified is my favorite anime, and I was always sad it didn't go beyond one season. Since the manga ended, I started reading it... and binged the whole thing in three days. I wasn't sure if the anime's perfection would carry over into print form, but thankfully it did. My only complaint is that the grammar in the scanned translations was dodgy at times, especially early on. Then again, who am I to complain about free translations. The people who did that work and enabled me to read this story are heroes.

This manga was romantic comedy slice-of-life perfection. It's honestly impressive how a story with only twelve actual characters managed to stay so fresh for its entire 187 chapter run. I loved how all the different character combinations had their own running gags, and they kept finding angles to craft new jokes or situations. Kobeni and Hakuya have the most adorable romance ever. Mashiro is the funniest, cutest girl ever. Even Benio's over-the-top siscon antics had me laughing more often than not. As for side characters, my favorite running gag was that Suetsugi kept wandering in at just the right time to witness something embarrassing and then there'd be that hilarious silent reaction panel. It never got old!

I guess another complaint is that it didn't have much of an ending. It just kept on going with the slice-of-life stuff until it just kind of stopped. On the one hand, I'm sad there wasn't some big final arc. On the other hand, I suppose the author is the one in the best position to realize that maybe they should stop before things started going stale. In any case, Engaged to the Unidentified was a wonderful manga.

I'm not sure where I'm going to go from here. I feel like I've already finished the best manga ever. Everything from now on is going to be going downhill

Anyways, you know that music /r/anime Favorite Music Anime voting poll I posted a few weeks ago?

Here are the results.
https://old.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1bpxfax/ranimes_favorite_music_anime_poll_results/

Oh I was wondering when the results would get posted. Full Moon only got 39th, a clear sign that not enough people have watched it.

Also I'm triggered by the spreadsheet listing the original BanG Dream as "pre-MyGo". The spinoff is overshadowing the original! I won't stand for this Kasumi erasure.

We have two anime topics now due to people blocking each other. I'm going to protest this by refusing to take sides! I will post my thoughts for things in both topics, no matter how annoying that will be for everyone.

I just want to say that I disagree with this topic split and will protest by refusing to take sides. As annoying as it'll be for everyone to have identical posts in two topics, I'm going to post my thoughts in both of them whenever I finish something.

hold up

Robazoid hasn't seen Clannad????

I played a few routes in the visual novel (let me see... Yukine, Kyou, and Ryou). The Kyou route was really good, to the point where, once I finished it, I felt satisfied and never went back to it again.

I guess some girl named Nagisa is the actual main girl? I honestly don't remember her at all.

Apologies to Made in Abyss, it's great too but not as good as ZLS

That's two rounds now where ZLS only barely made it through, too. More people should watch it and save the zombie girls imho

Zombie Land Saga

I quit playing Palworld when I went on a vacation and lost my momentum. Still, it was a ton of fun and I'm happy to see they're still working hard adding content to it! It's always fun in games like this to come back after a year or two and see how much new stuff it has.

All the people who said Pokemon was 100% going to sue them must be feeling pretty silly now that nothing has happened, too.

Why do we get Zodiac Age and VII Remake but everything else is the base game?

From what I've heard about the III DS remake, XIII would've at least scored higher than that!
