UshiromiyaEva 11/27/23 6:35:52 PM #404:	There are parts of Dandadan that are pretty slow in manga form, at least when reading weekly, due to the lavish spreads taking up pages. I think an anime will definitely deal with that issue. It's the same thing I expect will happen in some later Chainsaw Man episodes, where some of the chapters could take up 2ish minutes anime screentime. --- https://twitter.com/OocWTC/status/1348011667976699904?s=19 <cite>UshiromiyaEva posted [p:977440444] in Anime & Ma...

Robazoid 11/28/23 5:31:09 AM #405:	Continuing my journey to try and catch up on 2023 anime, I watched Too Cute Crisis. Aliens want to destroy Earth, but they decide to do some reconnaissance first just to check if there's anything valuable here. Then Liza, the head researcher, discovers that cats are the cutest animals in the universe! In a lot of ways, this was a pretty one-note comedy. Aliens encounter animal, animal is dangerously cute, aliens freak out at the cuteness. It should have gotten old by the second episode. Somehow it didn't, though! I enjoyed this anime the whole way through. It helped that the show managed to portray the animals as legitimately cute, so usually I was going "omfg that's so cute" right there alongside them. It covered lots of different animals, but particular attention was paid to cats (for obvious reasons, cats are the best). As a cat lover myself, they did a really good job showcasing all their feline charms. Yozora the cat was always adorable, even when he was being needy, moody, or acting like a menace. Sometimes a cat sits on your face at night, other times they ignore you when you want to play. All of those things are part of what make cats great, and I had a lot of fun watching the aliens appreciate it too. --- R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D <cite>Robazoid posted [p:977448679] in Anime & Ma...

Robazoid 11/29/23 2:12:02 AM #407:	I watched the first episode of Yuri is My Job and I've never been so instantly infuriated by an anime. A girl gets blackmailed into working at a yuri-themed cafe, but then they don't train her on any of the rules or... well, anything. Then they proceed to get angry at her when she doesn't know how to act in the little stage plays the other waitresses put on for customers. Like, the whole episode was just nonstop cringe moments and bad feelings. I've always given anime at least two to three episodes before dropping them, but I struggled just to finish one episode for this show so I think I'm done. What bugs me is that MAL lists one of the genres as "comedy", but I checked the episode's discussion topic on the anime board and someone there said "Ive read the manga and it is definitely not. It is heavy drama, not a comedy". I wouldn't have even started it if I knew that beforehand! Now it's going to sit there in my dropped list, bothering me forever. Nuts to this, I'm going to start Dead Mount Death Play instead. --- R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D <cite>Robazoid posted [p:977464856] in Anime & Ma...

Mobilezoid 11/29/23 5:43:28 AM #409:	I might give it another chance at some point. There is clearly more depth to the characters than what they started with. I know not to judge an entire series off of one episode. I just have a super low tolerance for the kind of cringe moments that were in that first episode. Main girl's inability to take a hint, coupled with everyone else refusing to explain anything and then getting angry when she inevitably failed, was a bad combination. I already work a crappy job, I don't want to watch one in fiction! I also already have people here thinking I'm anti-yuri (even though nothing could be further from the truth). I should probably stop here rather than watching Yuri is my Job and then ranting about it later. I was honestly just expecting the typical "cute girls work in a cafe with light yuri teasing" show based on the description, like Is the Order a Rabbit except gayer. I didn't want a drama! On the plus side regarding yuri, there's a one-episode OVA on Crunchyroll called Kase-san and the Morning Glories. The description says the two girls are already dating, and neither one looks like a horrible person. It's too late to watch it now, but I will tomorrow night! Hopefully this will finally be a yuri anime I can enjoy, even if only for one hour-long episode. --- R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D (On mobile) <cite>Mobilezoid posted [p:977465976] in Anime & Ma...

SockoressKnight 11/29/23 9:28:40 AM #411:	I suppose the comedy is supposed to come from the disconnect between how Hime perceives her facade as effective and how it actually fails most of the time. Also (personally) how~~after Hime and Mitsuki reconcile, due to the difference in their heights, Hime's face is always in Mitsuki's boobs when Mitsuki gets flustered and hugs her.~~ That said, it is 100% a drama, and the next arc is worse all around. Just cut your losses and don't worry about it. Just watch Kase-san. It's much more chill, but I don't think being a single episode OVA benefits it's slice of life nature. --- https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/4/7/AAZyoPAAByu7.png https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/4/5/AAZyoPAAByu5.jpg <cite>SockoressKnight posted [p:977467770] in Anime & Ma...

pyresword 11/29/23 12:53:36 PM #417:	I also dropped Yuri is My Job after 1 or 2 episodes and didn't care for it much. For Kase-san I only read the manga and it was a bit of an odd case. It had a solid foundation but as things went on it really felt like the story was treading water and reusing conflicts even when there was little justification to do so. That seems like an issue that could be totally sidestepped by an anime OVA though so it might be quite good. --- I didn't do guru this year but azuarc can be in my sig anyways. <cite>pyresword posted [p:977470739] in Anime & Ma...

Robazoid 11/30/23 2:17:53 AM #423:	Okay, now I have watched Kase-san and Morning Glories. I'm sad this was only single hour-long episode, because if it were a full series it would easily rank among my favorites. There was a good opening montage that caught me up on stuff that happened beforehand, but it would've been fun to actually see all those little moments firsthand. Having said that, it was also kind of nice that Kase and Yamada were already dating when this started. I feel like 99% of anime romances end the instant the lovers get together, and that has always bothered me. There is still so much potential for character growth even without the whole question of will-they-or-won't-they. This anime is an excellent example of that, too. It explored things like how much attention they should pay towards each other now that their relationship has gone beyond friendship. Differing expectations on the pacing of physical intimacy. What might become of their relationship after they graduate high school. All of that stuff was amazing. Seeing two characters learn about each other, and about themselves... this is the stuff I enjoy about romance stories! Not toxic drama or pushy love rivals or sustained misunderstandings. Kase-san and the Morning Glories had none of that, and it was still enthralling. It had all the heartwarming moments one would expect from two people exploring a new relationship. It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows either, though. It had little bits of drama, but all of it was natural. And, since Kase and Yamada were both good people trying to do their best, all of the drama was handled well. Hopefully someday I'll find a full-length yuri anime romance that can follow this show's example! --- R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D <cite>Robazoid posted [p:977482842] in Anime & Ma...

It's not like it was entirely on her shoulders, but it's certainly a contributing reason to why I think that JJK was fucking terrible for a solid 2 years after that other than the Zenin arc, which was absolutely baffling after putting out one of the single greatest arcs I've ever seen in a modern, or even older, Shounen. --- https://twitter.com/OocWTC/status/1348011667976699904?s=19 <cite>UshiromiyaEva posted [p:977498977] in Anime & Ma...

Robazoid 12/01/23 4:26:10 AM #438:	I'm caught up on Dead Mount Death Play now. It's really good! Reverse-isekai necromancer is a great premise. I really like all the crazy characters and competing factions he's getting entangled with, too. There are times where it almost feels like there's too much going on to keep track of, but all of it is interesting. It's weaving an exciting plot and I'm always excited to see where it goes next. It does a good job mixing in some comedy moments too, particularly with Misaki. She's always doing something zany. I didn't mention it here, but I also got caught up on Ragna Crimson recently. It's less good than DMDP, but still good! It's about dragon hunting in an incredibly dark fantasy world, but the premise also has a lot of spoilery twists.
