Re: Bokutachi, I haven’t watched it, or many harem themed animes, that does sound rather unique.

Just finished Angel Cop, what else is fun and gory?

@Holofan4life  
lol Kinda sad. It’s like trying to justify MLP isn’t a show for little girls because grown men watch it.
 
It’s a pretty normie mentally to have to continuously justify to yourself that it’s okay to like anime. At some point, you just grow up and out of this mentality, and you just stop giving a fuck.
 
Actually watching anime speeds that process up. Y’all should try it sometime.

There’s no May…. Does that mean Lucy is ME?!?!!?! =O
 
@Holofan4life  
Is that some kind of… ahegao hoodie?

He’s got a point. You do you, anime is for ALL ages, screw what the haters say!
 
Though bringing anime memes into face-to-face conversation with non-anime fans, memes like “waifus”, “best girls” and that infamous ahegao hoodie he’s wearing is probably not a good idea.

@Holofan4life  
>wearing Ahegao hoodie in public  
>his waifu is probably shit too

This LINE commercial has real Your Name and 5cm vibes.

In kinda surprising news, Nichijou is finally getting a dub.

@ExtreVile  
Good. Now I have a sister who doesn’t constantly yell at me.

@Holofan4life  
Huh, now that is surprising.

 
Aikatsu Friends ep 52. Winter is here, and it comes magic powerups from space? I guess this is just embracing its video game elements now. I do really like the way the unpolished jewels being attracted to idols mirrors the way Aine was attracted to Mio.
 
Mio’s new outfit and performance were brilliant this ep. As long as this show has that, and its nice themes about healthy friendships and rivalries, it can do whatever sci-fi nonsense it wants.
 

 
Star Twinkle Precure ep 11. I liked how they handled Hikaru’s concerns, and I liked how they’re pitting her optimism against harsh realities. But it is a kids’ show, so it’s not going to get that cruel. (Probably.)
 
 

 
Senryuu Shoujo ep 2. Busty onee-chan appears. Didn’t expect this to be a harem, but the way the leads flirt is cute.
 
 
Hachigatsu no Cinderella Nine ep 2. A pretty bare-bones production. This show has nice ideas, but its execution is too dull. I think I’m done.
 
OPM S2E2. I don’t understand this decision to not highlighting the impact of Saitama’s punches. As for the story itself, I guess the idea is that Saitama has learned his lessons, and it’s time for him to pass them on to other heroes? I dunno, I’m reaching here.

R.I.P. Kazuhiko “Monkey Punch” Kato

Senko-san is so good

Rewatched Sarazanmai ep 1. Looking past all the butt stuff (which, admittedly, is very difficult), there is potentially interesting ideas at work here. There is the box containing Kazuki’s real self (or his idealized self, or something) being branded. It feels pretty sinister, the idea of self-expression being an asset owned by a company, that exists only as far as it has value to them. And there is the last line “I Want To Be Connected, But I Want To Lie.” Pretty on-the-nose. Kinda hoping it won’t be negative portrayal of technology, I’m not really fond of those.
 
I’m not quite ready to give this the benefit of the doubt, and its brand of weirdness might not be for me, but it has my attention for now.
 
 
Senko-san ep 2. Eh, the premise is already losing me.

Watching episode 20 of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S made me realize something. Holo is best girl, Taiga Aisaka is second best girl, and Misaka Mikoto is third best girl.

Biribiri is officially my third favorite character of all time

@Holofan4life  
Sister arc in Railgun was best part of it

@DeathCloud  
Biribiri gave her most prized possession away in episode 20. It was so heartwarming.

Aqua bullying Ainz and his squad was best part of new Isekai Quartet
