Thanks for the response. I guess I’ll check for myself once I come round to watching it.
For context, Violet Evergarden, Your Lie in April (the first watch especially, unresolved past issues and all that), and A Place Further Than The Universe are some that emotionally destroyed me.
If it’s 8-bit, I hope they get enough time and resources. Their Blue Lock schedule was brutal and it showed (or the lack of showing actual animation showed)
Looks like it’s summer camping! Rin character development arc?
With this treasure, I summon… weird lady in red!
If you’ve watched I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, how similar is it in emotional impact to this, in your opinion? I haven’t seen that yet.
Look Back a great movie and am very thankful to experience watching this in the theater. My rating on it is purely on its technical merits. I guess I couldn’t relate on it at an emotional level. I especially love the ambiguity of the eponymous 4-koma scene. Is it an alternate timeline? Or did Kyomoto pen the comic far in advance, without knowledge of her eventual fate? It’s up to you.
You might want to spoiler-tag that. And I already watched Clannad
I think Ice’s Chinese sounds quite good.
Thailand mentioned raaah.

Absolute cinema
shikanokonokonoko koshitantan
Can you already call that baiting?
At least in Kozue’s case towards Hiro
I’m holding a verdict on that until later episodes. Hiro has a lot of new experiences in a short period of time, so it’s believable he largely forgot he has a few years to live. I don’t think he told his new friends yet, and I feel the show will hit you like truck-kun once he catches up to the fact.
That counts as a caricature-criticism of the church tbf
I like this episode. We’ve got:
Speaking of the Exceed, he got it as a newbie. I’m not surprised if he’ll pick up some bad fishing habits that he needs to unlearn later
@rikka@ani.social
The tropes you listed, I realized this episode is like…
a speedrun of three seasons of Kimi ni Todoke lol
Trivia for the day: In Japanese, the way you write testicles is 金玉 (kintama). If you look at the kanji individually, it is gold ball. So, now we know what this scene in the OP is referencing:
I learned that watching Gintama. As Master Oogway once said, “there are no accidents”
Another trivia: Dandadan references Kinpachi-sensei, which Gintama also does. Peak references peak.
The post in the dandadan community ain’t federating properly in my instance, so…
Absolute cinema. Can’t believe this has better fluff than many outright romances
Forgot about this,
Because S2 is the opposite of a revenge anime
The Vatican actually trying to harness the power of God and anime at the same time lmao.
We actually have a Reborn as a Vending Machine S2 before GTA 6.
NGNL season 2, on the other hand…
College students can contact the authors and kindly request for research papers. I hope there’s a similar system for entertainment. I’m aware the reality is more complex than that.
Color me intrigued. Looks like the type that would be a hit (heh) in the West.
