There’s a name I haven’t heard in a while.

@Dustcan
 
I hadn’t thought of it until very recently.

Goddamn, I can’t believe it’s taken me so long to get around to Amaenaide yo!! - it’s been killer.

With everyone being so critical these days, it’s so refreshing to just sit down and watch something you enjoy.

@ghostfacekiller39  
I don’t know what I was expecting to be behind the spoiler but it wasn’t that.

literal owner of H&E over on MAL with (or used to have) a stronger forum presence than i had here back in the day to boot, I am the alpha ecchifa(n) on one of the largest anime community websites out there, smh
 
expecting anything else disappoints me

Akuma no Riddle is a dark series, but considering it’s focused primarily on assassins, that’s to be expected. I’ll be finishing up before the end of the day, so if anyone has any suggestions for what to watch next, I’m all ears.  
Preferably something more lighthearted.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started Renai Boukun. Don’t get me wrong, as a comedy its a real gutbuster, but it has some surprisingly serious moments, too.

And another one bites the dust. Unfortunately, I burned through Renai Boukun a little too quickly, and now I don’t have a follow-up ready. I kind of want to stick with something hijinks-y, though.  
EDIT: Well, guess my choice is made. Shinmai Maou no Testament it is, an adaptation of a light novel with character designs from Nitroplus.

@Silent_Witness  
If you want an H&E that’s got an absurd/stupid sense of humor like Renai Boukun/something “hijinks-y,” Testament ain’t it. It’s more like a battle/action harem. It takes itself decently seriously for the most part.
 
For whatever it’s worth, my favorites that I’d call similar to Renai Boukun in terms of comedy are Seto no Hanayome and Kenkou Zenrakai Suieibu Umishou. Umishou starts off kind of slow/weak but it’s my favorite between the two. The pros Hanayome has over it is being two cour and more consistent in its quality.
 
Either way, I don’t think Testament is what you seem to be looking for.

@ghostfacekiller39  
Well, I didn’t have anything else lined up on such short notice, and I was planning on watching that series anyway. I’ve already read the manga adaptation, so I know what to expect.

i heard the Political Correctness script reading thing will be on the anniversary DVDs for Digimon Tamers,

Man watching the Fairy Tail Zero arch.
 
Man… That’s some feels right there.

@Thanotos Omega  
I only saw a part where some big digimon is trying to attack Earth with a move called Cancel Culture.

@Dex Stewart  
That sounds hilarious.

@Cyborg_pony  
I’m not sure if it would be funnier in context of not.

@Dex Stewart  
Let’s be honest; Digimon is the perfect venue for this kind of parody, and the most hilarious part of it is:
 
The people who normally say they want this kind of thing in entertainment saying “Everything is x” while wagging their fingers at the computer monitor while type are the ones complaining as per-usual showing how they’re hypocrites, because it’s not the way they would want it done.
 
I’ve seen for months and shown in a thread of Japanese artist being treating terribly by a gangs on Twitter that imbibe in: Appropriating characters from another country and telling artist of that very same how they allowed to create works of them, Projecting what traits onto characters or saying artists they don’t like are doing bad things and they’re “calling attention” it which causes Harassment to the point many have they deleted their work and accounts and make it hard for people that liken their art-style to find and support them to no satisfaction to the ones that caused it. All the while having seem some try and pimp their patreon as along with “fixed” art of “offensive” designs.
 
Also, from what I heard, the fanfic reading was kinda cringe.

I feel like I’ve been burning through series a little too quickly. But Shinmai Maou no Testament is finished. Luckily, there’s a second season I can dive into.  
I have to admit, Burst caught me a little off guard. I was expecting it to be like the manga, which is a side series, but no, it’s a direct follow up.

@Silent_Witness  
Is it good?

@Cyborg_pony  
Do you mean overall, or just the first season? Because, I enjoyed it at least, but that doesn’t exactly speak about its quality.

@Silent_Witness  
I guess a season review would be a bit more enlightening.

Nuff said

Some time I want to just plop myself down and binge through all of Digimon Adventure 2020.  
Also Digimon Universe Appmon.  
So I can be all up to speed when this comes out.  
 
No goggles?

I actually followed my own advice and started writing a list of shows I plan to watch once I’m finished with my current series. It’s fairly short- only about seven entries or so- but at least I won’t be scrambling to fill the void again.

Should I buy a 120 dollar vinyl of the BNA ost and an art book? No.
 
Will I buy it anyway? Yes, yes I will.
