It’s becoming increasingly harder to defend anime fans.

@DarklordYuri  
I’m sure Holofan is really looking forward to playing that game.

@Penguin Lagann  
It’s sad that we have to be associated with these type of people.

Episode 21 of Shield Hero was epic. the trial scene and near execution of bitch and trash was a sight to behold. And the queen is a Monarch I’d Like to Form an alliance with AKA a MILF!

@Penguin Lagann  
Oh, spare me.
 
Like anyone ever did that.

I enjoy finding animes on Netflix  
Most recent was Saiki Kusuo that one has well-timed humor.
 
Before that I watched Hero Mask, was very interesting.
 
Watched A.I.C.O. Incarnation, felt too short. Ending was wtf
 
Before that, watched Aldnoah.zero. That was was pretty okay. ||I didn’t like how characters get killed then then just have a way to recover, and I HATED THAT THEY MADE SLAIN A BAD GUY SECOND SEASON!!!! GAAAAAHHH!!!! THAT RUINED IT SO MUCH FOR ME so I made ponies of him and the princess to make ne feel better afterwards but still SHITTY WRITING!!!! GAAAAHH!!!! ||
 
And my absolute favorite to keep up with, SEVEN DEADLY SINS!!!! YEEEEAAAAHHH!!!!! I have Hasbro nylon pony hair on its way in the mail so I can make ponies from this anime!  
HELL YEAH SISTA REPRESENT

I do think a strong case could be made that Attack on Titan is a top 10 anime of all time

@DarklordYuri  

 
Fuck yes

@Holofan4life  
lol You say that about every anime you watch. You have no nuance, Holo-sama.

Funimation: Anime is for everyone!
 
Also Funi:  

@dt  
Say but not do

@Holofan4life  

 
So much waste of money.
 
It’s scary how incapable some people can be at telling apart fiction from reality.

Speaking of yandere.
 
Are there any notable yandere guys in anime out of curiosity?

@Selaphiel  
Look for the ones called stalkers/rapey.

 
Star Twinkle ep 18. This week’s ep is about the hardships of being a creator, and the difficult choice between sticking to your vision and chasing trends to make a hit. About treasuring the media you like, even if it’s not for everyone. Y’know, kids’ show stuff.

@Selaphiel  
Sohma Akito from Fruits Basket comes to mind.
 
I’m sure there’s plenty more, just google them.

This was really great SNK episode. Even compared with last SNK ep what was full of action climax of final battle.  
This had little action and most it was character and emotions stuff and it was perfect.
 
Now waiting for shitstorm what next ep should cause.

@Holofan4life  

 
@dt  

 
Some people watch anime for complex stories and like discussing deeper meanings. Some people watch anime just for the escapism and to have fun.
 
Both are perfectly okay and valid ways to enjoy anime.

You know, makes me question both the Anime community and Meme community as a whole, cause do they ever stop and think with their brain? I know some people do, but a vast majority don’t.

Can you consider they may doing it for attention and reaction?

@DeathCloud  
It does, but it can sometimes backfire.

@ExtreVile  
Reacting to them and giving them more attention will definitely backfire.

 
Hyouka ep 13.
 
It was nice to see Satoshi in his element, being real confident at playing the fool. Dunno about that rando who decided he’s Satoshi’s rival, though.
 
I liked the scene in the tent. The fish-eye effect throughout the scene gave it a cool, mystical feel. Eru was so easily distracted by all the festivals attractions, getting a legit mystery now seems really unfair.
 
I liked Hotaro finding Eru’s cosplay photos. These LN/novel adaptations seem to be dominated by protagonists who are wise beyond their years or whatever, so I appreciate Hyouka taking every opportunity to show how much of a teenager he is. Objectively, the photos aren’t even that good. Subjectively, I get his reaction upon seeing the girl of his dreams in those outfits.
 
Mayaka standing up to her senpai was awesome. The long-standing dynamics of the club were established through great character acting and voice work, as expected of the show at this point. Kouchi is basically a troll, someone who doesn’t care so much about the validity of her argument as much as the attention the argument gets her. In this particular case, it seems like she was picking a fight with Mayaka specifically. Obviously it was a mistake to engage the troll to begin with, but I understand Mayaka’s frustration in hearing someone speak so lowly about something she is passionate about, and I applaud her bravery for standing up for what she believes in. I wish I could have that kind of courage IRL.
 
But the best part of the whole sequence was actually Mayaka being able to step back to calm herself down. Mayaka is basically the opposite of Hotaro, in that she’s really passionate and struggles to control her emotions. But she is also continuously pushing herself to be better. The thoughtfulness with which the show portrayed Mayaka’s feelings in this scene was amazing.
 
Watching Mayaka desperately look for her manga hurt so good. She made the incorrect assumption that she would be able to change Kouchi’s mind with it. (She can’t because Kouchi is just a troll.) But even with that mistake, I was rooting for her so hard I was on the verge of tears. I just wanted her to get one little victory in an unwinnable scenario. Just one tiny, meaningless win and they didn’t even give her that, goddammit. This show sucks, actually.
