    A brief insight into how this season of AniMenagerie is going for ol' Zonugal:

    Record of the Lodoss War? Amazing, fantastic, phenomenal. Everything I want and more.

    Paranoia Agent? Not quite my speed but I can respect it. Satoshi Kon's stuff is really hit or miss for me, and this one just hasn't pushed a whole lot of buttons for me.

    KonoSuba? Fucking hate it. I actively step away from my computer and go clean my kitchen for 44 minutes when it's time on the schedule arrives.

    I respect these opinions
    I enjoy most of konosuba but I can't really recommend it because of a few bad parts and totally get why it might not be appealing at all to anyone
    I feel pretty much exactly the same as you about paranoia agent
    record of lodoss war is a perfect show

    there is something terribly wrong with that woman's arm

    AI image

    as fun as it is to dunk on AI-generated images, it kind of sucks to look at something an actual human worked on and go "that's AI generated" when it clearly isn't - not only does it demean the work of the artist and help justify harassment against them, but it kind of fucks up people's ability to recognize AI-generated images when they see them by teaching them the wrong warning signs?

    in this case it looks like the original stock photo arm was probably in the wrong pose or behind an object or whatever, so the artist just cut out and pasted an arm from a different image and called it a day - because, let's be honest, people don't give much of a fuck about romance novel covers. The dude's also got one singular crack texture repeatedly pasted onto his pec, biceps, shoulder, and forehead, for instance.
    (Alternatively, well, that might just be how she looked in that photo.)

    It's very important to learn what you dislike, so it can inform our future scheduling.

    Not to avoid things you don't like, of course, that wouldn't be any fun.

    BIG MANGA SPOILERS
    I loved/hated this episode cause it reminded how awesome Todo is and then how he's about to get sidelined for the rest of the series after this.

    I enjoy teasing you about leaving to clean when konosuba starts but also I totally can't blame you and I'm happy you go do something else instead of hate-watching it

    Ha. I had a feeling. So much of the plot revolved around him being pervy, it didn't make sense that it would get better. Thanks; won't be continuing that one, or taking recommendations from that friend without a hefty grain of salt in the future.

    I am recommending my friend anime shows.

    I have something like 20% success rate.

    He liked JJK, he disliked MP100, Vinland Saga, Frieren, Spy x Family.

    I think my friend is actively trolling me. I am stopping recommending anything to him, ever.

    They're age appropriate its just the worst fucking ship possible

    they're age appropriate if you make them both a few years older, but it's a bit skeevy for me when one is still a minor and the other is not, even if they're only a few years apart

    Konosuba is weird, because the characters were explicitly written older when it was originally (self) published as a web novel, with Kazuma being 20(and a college dropout), Darkness being 24, and Megumin being 17 at the start of the series(with the characters aging 2-3 years throughout the series).

    But when it was picked up for publication and serialized, (As I understand it) the publisher wanted Kazuma to be a high schooler for purely marketing reasons. So the author simply subtracted 4 from everyone's ages and replaced Kazuma's "College Dropout" references with "High Schooler", and changed absolutely nothing else story-wise.

    You can see this most clearly with Darkness, since her being 24 and thus invoking the "Christmas Cake" concept, is a big part of her story arc. With her at 20, it's not immediately obvious that the writer is specifically calling "Christmas Cake" bullshit for just that -- bullshit.

    It's the de-aging of the characters that causes a lot of the sketchy problems with Konosuba.

    Megumin is supposed to be 13-14? Huh ok I hate that, I had assumed she and kazuma were both significantly closer to darkness' age.

    Yeah after the first episode I let it sit for a couple of weeks because I wasn't in the mood for a downer show that was all about missed opportunities, but it turns out it isn't like that at all. It's maybe a little bit melancholy at times, but so far it seems to be more about making new friends and appreciating things about your old friendships you didn't realize at the time.
