Orpheus in the Underworld feat. Kumiko is my favorite “anime girl noises” compilation.

Anime:
 
Where even the joke character:
 

 
 

 
Is an unmitigated badass.

@Cyborg_pony  
The joke character is usually the badass, and we love it.

 
Band New Animal trailer. Got Netflix’d, so yeah.

 
Hey, Bakarina PV. Hope it’s good.

@dt  
It will be. I read the whole manga and one half of the light novel. It’s basically the prime example of villainess otome game isekai, the same way SAO and Log Horizon are prime examples of MMORPG isekai.
 
Believe me, there are a lot more villainess otome game isekai (shortened: VOGI) than most people think. I’ve read like ten or so of them last year.

Yonkou, who is a pretty reliable source, is reporting that at least 10 My Hero Academia movies that are currently being planned. Which, uh, seems like a lot? (I haven’t seen any yet.)
 
@Scrabbleman  
Sweet, sounds like it’ll be a totally new experience for me. Can’t wait.

@dt  
Its fine as long its additional stuff and not replacement of regular model of adapation like some other anime adapations did

 
Bofuri ep 3. What the hell, did they actually nerf the overpowered MC in a MMO cartoon?! AotY.
 
For real though, I like the balancing act they did with Maple. She’s not just completely clueless, she actually realizes how ridiculous her silly build turned out to be. She’s legitimately engaging with the game in a way that she enjoys, not just improbably bumbling through gag after gag. And having a friend who understands what Kaede wants in this game enhances the experience.
 
Not to mention she actually faced some consequences for her actions, by getting nerfed. Nothing terrible cruel or anything (still a wholesome show), but it’s not nothing.
 
I’m also pleasantly surprised at how good the action looks. I was on-board for a chill cartoon with the main pair just having fun exploring and chatting, and the premiere did not set a high bar on the action front, but the fight-y bits in the past two eps haven’t been bad at all.
 
This show has been a real pleasant surprise.

Bofuri: Kadae is pretty much a walking Shield Flare and I guess she can bind arms now. Oh Kadae, if only she realizes that specing so much into Defense won’t help her out in the long run. So far, this is a pretty interesting show, so I may keep tabs on it.

@The Equestrian Zodiac  
It gets even better when Sally joins Maple.

@Holofan4life  
Da faq?

@dt  
Yeah, I could tell, this show is shaping up rather nicely.

@SombrLiz  

 
It’s from Nisekoi. It is absolutely hilarious

This season has a been a damn good season for art direction. Dorohedoro, Somali, MagiReco, KoiAsu, Hanako-kun, Bofuri, even OshiBudo (even though I dropped it).
 
@DeathCloud  
Two eps in, I can totally buy that.

@dt  

 
That’s a double whammy: the kick having the stock “punch” sound effect, and the “heungh!” itself!

I hope Dorohedoro will get this animated

@Cyborg_pony
 
Why are you showing me Japanese McDonald’s commercials?

@Random-Rambling  
Don’t make me get actual Japanese McDonald’s Commercials! I’ll do it! I’m fuckin’ crazy!!

@Random-Rambling  
Weathering with You is the best McDonalds commercial.
