Pokelabo's handling of the EN version was horrible. They only used it as a quick cash grab to fuel their next release (fuck SINoALICE btw) and announced the shutdown less than three months after the opening, which was absolute bullshit. Meanwhile, the JP version (the one that matters) is consistently making a lot of money and just celebrated its three year anniversary with a Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha collaboration event. The JP version is doing fantastic, and based on the translations I've read of the events that EN never got, the story is great enough to adapt into a full anime.

Yamazaki is honestly one of the most annoying characters in Cardcaptor Sakura. His dumb stories go on for like a minute longer than they ever should. I actually like most of the cast in this show but they needed to tone this guy down.

Also don't know how nobody suspects Eriol of causing all these weird/bad incidents. They always happen involving items he touched or places he visited and he's always nearby looking smug while Sakura/Li handle the situation.

Yeah, it also kind of seems like he's not even really a bad guy and might be doing it to help Sakura turn more of the cards into Sakura Cards for whatever reason.

Do you guys own a lot of physical anime? I've been thinking of getting more lately, of series I especially like. I actually imported the Blu Ray box of Gabriel Dropout recently. Probably going to grab JoJo Part 5 whenever it gets released here.

I have a few other random series I've bought here and there over the years on sales (Rightstuf, etc) but they've been put away. I know I had Phantom and Spice and Wolf.

3000 bucks or so....

I find it hard to support anime physical release at times because they overcharge the fuck out of you, especially when you can have access to a lot of it for like, 20 dollars a month (Netflix and Crunchy Roll)

Finished up the first season of Tower of God tonight.

I think it is hilarious that people claim Rachel is the most hated person in anime ever. The bitch constantly told Bam to leave her alone, constantly worked against him and made it clear she only cared about climbing the tower. How many times you gonna get fucked over Bam before you understand it? Good play on someone who has no power to play the rest of the field like she has done. Obviously I wanna see her "get hers", but she is playing the game. Granted I'm pretty sure our favorite Blue Turtle is not being tricked.

I stayed up really late grinding a gacha event, and while I did that, I finished watching the rest of Persona 5: The Animation, including the two specials that completely finish the story. The story did get a bit shaky at the end and there were a few things that felt like they didn't get explained well enough, but the character interactions and stylish animation stayed great the whole way through. Overall, I really enjoyed it. I'd give it an 8 out of 10, not fantastic but still pretty good, and I still don't see why people thought it was so bad.

I also have the last few episodes of Twin Angel Break left to finish. After that, my next priorities are the latest batch of 12 episodes of Pokemon Journeys, the new season of Aggretsuko, and starting Cardfight Vanguard (the reboot timeline, not the super long original series) from the beginning.

What are some uncommon/underrated tear jerkers?

Just finished binging a show called Kamisama no Memochou, or Heaven's Memo Pad. Wew boy do I have mixed feelings about this show.
I totally didn't take notice of this show because of the Alice goth loli, not at all.

https://i.imgur.com/88uy6IK.png
https://i.imgur.com/h78GUZf.png
https://i.imgur.com/yNJCqL8.jpg

On one hand, the overall story was pretty good. Solving some dark mysteries that are plaguing the town, interfering with feuding gangs, suicides, drug rings. But good god, the show was really dragged down by the shippiness of the smol and the generic male MC that was way older than her. Holy hell, it was really bad. Like... so many times I was watching and there was a scene that made me say "Yeah, I need to drop this shit". Yet I somehow didn't and stuck with it. Dunno why I didn't drop it. Fortunately nothing happened in the end, so theres that at least.

But if there is one thing I can appreciate about this show, was the blooming bromances. Becoming sworn brothers, having each others backs, sometimes brawling, and making up. I can always appreciate some good bromances.

I hope you feel better buddy. Was gonna say Grave of the Fireflies but I'll wrack my brain and see if I can't figure out a different tear jerker.
If you want to try for happy though, I can suggest Patlabor the OVA and Dirty Pair the TV series. Hard not to smile at those.

Very positive feelings so far. I wasn't sure if I'd be fully onboard cuz chiefly the only romance-inclusive games I've played are like, Rewrite and BioWare's stuff, but the characters seem to have some texture to them! I like Sakura's fighting spirit and empathized with Claris' fixation on books lol. Hatsuho hasn't really had time to shine yet IMO but I dig her character design.

@Gurifisu I haven't watched it myself but maybe try Chirin's Bell/Ringing Bell/Chirin no Suzu
The Ideon flicks (A Contact + Be Invoked) might be the ticket too

Haven't really watched the anime version, but I did read 3 volumes of the novel way back in the day.
Pretty much one of the first few mystery genre stuff aside from Detective Conan that I've read, and I thought it was pretty fun.
Volume 3 was my favorite arc out of the three, but the anime covered up to just volume 2, I think? Because I've seen spoilers and it ends with Ayaka waking from her coma, same as the beginning of volume 3.
That was part of the reason why I never watched the anime past episode 1, which I'm pretty sure was anime-original aside from character introductions.

Also don't really remember any prominent shipping between Narumi and Alice in particular though. I thought it was made pretty clear that the dude is interested in Ayaka. (Then again, it's been almost 10 years since I've read them)

On Chapter 4, thoughts so far

Sakura - highest highs and lowest lows so far. I liked her early showing of fighting spirit but she's been on a bit of a downward spiral. I don't think she'll win Juhanor's Kamiyama bowl. Third place.

Hatsuho - genuinely likeable to me, although IMO she STILL hasn't had enough showings. Her warrior attitude is attractive, especially when contrasted against the want to be seen as feminine/lady-like. Of the three close interactions so far, I enjoyed hers the most. Strong contender for Taicho's heart.

Claris - I had higher hopes for her based on personal similarities, but unfortunately they ended with writing and books. The damning scene against her was being told not to rely on sloppy sentimentality for the play, asking for suggestions, having on her shelf cool options including a war story and Sherlock vs Arsene and immediately defaulting to romance as soon as possible. On top of that, their close encounter came off as forced and creepy. She's in fourth place.

Azami - not even an option, nothing to say. Disqualified lmao

Anastasia - She's probably tied with Hatsuho in terms of attractiveness, but so far she's been difficult to deal with on a professional level, let alone a romantic one. Things seem to be warming up between the two though. Probably second, might get to first.

Setting the romance aside, I just learned about Shadow Tokyo and I really hope the plot progresses that way.

Lol, rip little Azami. wish she didn't cut her hair.
I picked the Claris ending for my first run-through. One day Ill go back and get everybody's endings though.

Have you experienced yet the joy of the koi koi minigame yet? I've beaten at least half of the opponents so far but its... rough.
