    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?

    Also check out Frieren

    You missed a lot of stuff from the last decade. Off the top of my head, Gundam: The Witch from Mercury (found on Crunchyroll or Amazon Prime via subscription) and Kaiju no. 8 (Crunchyroll)

    I've heard it doesn't have to be. But I wouldn't know.

    Realistically I've watched maybe two TV shows in full in the last year - oh wait three! and one was just the newest season of Queer Eye - so I've got... space for one new thing at a time hahaha

    Gonna check out Apothecary Diaries and see how we go, thanks folks! (That Symphogear transformation sequence rules, but I don't have crunchyroll and given how little I watch TV at all it doesn't make sense to add it to my list of Dumb Subscriptions I Pay For)

    Five most recent shows worth checking out (I think we did this slightly upthread or the end of last thread?)
    1. Frieren
    2. Delicious in Dungeon
    3. Apothecary Diaries
    4. Spy x Family
    5. Chainsaw Man

    Also I tend to toss Oshi no Ko on the list of "worth checking out"

    I tend to toss Oshi no Ko on the list of "deeply problematic", but your mileage may vary.

    Oshi no Ko is probably why Kaguya-sama manga last 25% experienced quality drop from the author, so I will never forgive its existence, just by default (never read it, never watched it).

    More than problematic, I feel like Oshi no Ko is just kinda mediocre. Reynolds made a post a while back that I feel like hit the nail on the head, that it's supposed to be a comic that's a critique of the entertainment industry in general and the idol industry in specific, but it's made by an idol fan for idol fans, so it's unwilling to say anything substantial.

    also it keeps teasing an incest relationship, and my hot take is that you either gotta squash the incest asap or you gotta commit to it being an actual part of the plot and explore how fucked up that shit can be properly

    the whole ship tease incest shit is just bad

    If you've missed stuff for years, I might suggest, off the top of my head, Girls' Last Tour. You know, if you like your cute girls anime with a dose of melancholic existentialism and questioning the purpose of continuing living inbetween little mochi noises. Real neat stuff.

    I think it's much more likely that the desire to wrap up ongoing plot lines without just making a rushed ending meant the last few volumes had to mostly be about that instead of daily life funny haha stories that were the high quality meat and potatoes of the earlier parts of the series. Starting planning Oshi No Ko was likely a symptom of interest and ideas in Kaguya-sama waning and needing to move on to the next project to keep paying rent, rather than the cause of Kaguya losing its steam.

    No anime for 10 years?

    there's been a lot

    Things that i have watched and enjoyed and just recommend:
    Mob Psycho 100
    Bocchi the Rock!
    OddTaxi
    Summertime Rendering

    Hell's Paradise is a solid gory action show

    My Hero Academia is The Shonen that's been going on for awhile now - decent enough with some good highs but also has mineta

    Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill is a light-hearted isekai (with an adult protagonist!) that i enjoyed

    Those are the ones I remember watching, anyway. A lot of my anime watching has been older stuff, like Nichijou, original Mobile Suit Gundam, watching Legend of the Galactic Heroes again, etc., or it didn't make an impact on me enough to remember.

    edit: Pluto! And Vinland Saga. Can't believe I forgot those 2.

    There are some fantastic bits in Kaguya-sama during the whole last arc+finale, so I always get a bit confused when people treat that whole bit like a slapped together ending. One of my favorite gags is towards the end of the big climactic arc
    While all the big dramatic reveals are happening, Kaguya's still on house arrest, and Hayasaka and Fujiwara just took off on a big important quest... the whole chapter is spent on the rest of the student council arguing about how to prepare microwave yakisoba. Then there's one page at the end of the two trapped in an alley by thugs with Hayasaka pulling out a knife

    Today's episode of Delicious in Dungeon
    Izutsumi was added to a couple of shots in the OP and ED, but not as many shots as I expected. She's still largely absent.

    Delicious in Dungeon is an incredibly slow roll at the start, so while I don't have any issue with someone not wanting to push through that, I do feel it is worth it.

    Delicious in Dungeon was somehow even slower to grab me than Frieren.
    It didn't become "appointment viewing" until like 6 episodes maybe? I always vaguely enjoyed it but it took a while for it to reach the point where i could see why everyone raved about the manga.

    I don't know if this is good news or bad news, but AD, Frieren, Witch from Mercury, and many other shows that were suggested to you are available on Crunchyroll. (I know those shows aren't on Canadian Netflix, last time I checked.)
