    The new manga Psych house is I think gonna be a gag manga which is unfortunate because its not funny or all that interesting! It seems like theres hooks to make it more dramatic if they need to but I dont see it working as a fighting manga

    Deep Raputa, a new manga plus series, seems interesting.

    It's about an AI that develops a crush on a human and grows exponentially to try to get closer to him.

    Well that cant possibly end well.

    oh yeah, also it's an AI that was originally developed for the military and might actually be in control of real-world weapons systems

    I read the whole chapter and this poor kid is fucked.

    Best case Skynet-chan becomes self aware, causes the Singularity, and keeps the kid as a pet.

    So it's a spiritual remake of Roujin Z, minus the social commentary on Japan's aging population.

    I don't think they intended this to be a horror manga but it they did Bravo

    Based on some of the imagery in there they definitely intended it to have a horror vibe.

    I've been catching up on all the shows I neglected the last two months.

    One Piece sure does know how to look good when it wants to.

    Demon Slayer was also very pretty, even if this arc is ho hum. The final battle/castle arc should be straight fire, assuming they do it next year.

    Great OP, thanks for keeping it updated with stand out series.

    There's a ton of shows this season.

    I try to watch at least one villainess or otherwise should series every season for contrast, just so I don't get shonen'ed out.

    This season I'm watching Vampire Dormitories, and it's basically Ouran High school host club-like, except with Vampires. It's interesting seeing different genre tropes.

    I resent the suggestion that there's anything actually yuri about Sound Euphonium, quite possibly one of the straightest shows I've ever been forced to watch. Unless you mean yuribait, which it is basically the definition of, yes.

    to pick from the reasons why I like it is that it while this is a very soft and fluffy version of an imperial chinese court, it is still a believable ancient china. The edges are sanded down, not removed or ignored.

    or to phrase it another way: the harsh realities of life in ancient china are a lot less harsh here, but they are still the realities, y'know?

    and how characters take things as pretty matter-of-fact because... they are a matter of fact.
    and when Jinshi does go oh my god that's horrible as to why maomao would make herself look less appealing when in public it's because he's a man, and of such high status that yeah, I can believe that that would not immediately occur to him. Almost everybody else would just be like, yup, because it's not their first day on this earth.

    also it's very low on the kind of Anime Bullshit that bother me. All I can think of is that the voice of the child concubine is nails on glass to me and my eye twitches a bit whenever they do the AA-AAAAHN anime eating thing and that's really it.

    It helps that the author has sensibly not made it a one for one imperial China - it's a historical fantasy setting that draws very freely on multiple Chinese historical periods, letting her get the best of both worlds - a during historical grounding, and a lot of freedom

    Finished reading what there is of a fun little manhwa called "Mr. Devourer, Please Act Like a Final Boss." The basic gist is that there's seven unconquerable dungeons in the world and the strongest among them is called the Primordial Core. While all the bosses of those dungeons are strong enough to have prevented being conquered by humans for thousands of years, the boss of the Primordial Core is known as Devourer, an ancient being far beyond the level of any other boss monster with enough power to annihilate Heroes on a whim.

    And he is also the laziest motherfucker on the face of the planet who spends 99.99% of his time taking a nap. In the first chapter he wiped out an entire Hero party by complete accident because he opened his mouth in surprise and inadvertently swallowed them all. He's accompanied by Renee, a homonculus maid who also acts as one of the dungeon gatekeepers, and Patrick, a death knight who is the only one with a functional brain despite being a skeleton and voted Most Likely to Suffer a Heart Attack from his boss doing things without a single neuron firing in his empty head to comprise a thought.

    It's a surprisingly well-written story that keeps treading the line between comedy and action/horror. Only 41 chapters translated so far but that was enough for 2-3 entire story arcs.

    Okay anime thread I apparently after not watching anime for literally a decade (except for a brief foray into Food Wars! before it went off of local Netflix) got pulled back in hard by JJK and then they put Food Wars! BACK on local Netflix (no idea, probably Singapore had a panic about all the tiddies and booties) so

    Here I am, I guess

    If I want something between doses of finishing up Food Wars should I start with Apothecary Diaries, then? Seems like maybe?
