    @Stabbity Style keeps pushing me to watch that. I find it hard to find time to watch a show with 4 seasons and several OVAs though.

    It does look fun. I will eventually watch it but it might take a while.

    Watch it you guy. It's basically the best sports anime that ever was. And also just a generally fantastic show to boot.

    honestly I just feel really uncomfortable with Konosuba doing anything romance related with Megumin, given her age and that Konosuba can't help but make things get to a point that they really shouldn't with a character her age

    that's basically the extent of what really bugs me about it

    she's too good for him though, and him getting with darkness might actually make them better people in the long run

    I have no clue where this idea that Megumin is good came from. The more we hear about her backstory, the more clear it is that she is on par trash with everyone else in the group.

    One of its characters is not safe around children, to pick a specific thing.

    I’d been seeing funny clips from the show and considering checking it out in full, but Lucoa basically killed it for me all at once.

    She's not good, but the rest of the show is really good.

    I don't know, I think the thing between Kanna and the girl from her class was also extremely creepy.

    should I watch one punch man season 2

    e: actually it's only available subbed, so nevermind

    If you care about animation it is much, much worse but, like, the writing is still good. (If first season was like a 10/10 season 2 is like a 4/10. Kind of below average animation. Not terrible. Manages to be good for some critical scenes but never to the level of the first season.) The whole garou stuff is probably overall better than the stuff from Season 1.

    Was the animation all that different? I thought it looked fine.

    There was less action, but that's also more just a function of the story having a different pacing. I don't think it was actually animated poorly in general, but I may be giving it a pass because of how sure people were that it'd live or die by Madhouse of all studios. Who then went on to make the absolutely tepid AfterLost the same season I believe.

    Speaking of things where people don't get breaks but generally don't deserve them: Watched Happy Sugar Life with a friend. For me it was the second time all the way through. For them it was the first.

    That sure is a great show. High tier CGDCT.

    She ended up liking it. Not really a show for everyone, or probably even most people, but it does what it sets out to do.

    The animation of One Punch Man S2 was capital F Fine. In the non-action scenes of the show, you don't notice the difference at all, but there's a universe of distance between the action in S1 and the action in S2.

    Compare the fight against Carnage Kabuto with any of the action in S2. Compare the sparring scene between Saitama and Genos with any of the action in S2. There was an absurd amount of care, effort, and time put into the first season, and I felt like the second season really suffered for the lack of it. The writing is still fantastic, but that's only half the fun of OPM, to me. It felt like a direct to video sequel, tbh.

    so far my favorite thing is when Hinata got hit in the face by his own crappy receive and then, long enough after it happened for it to be super embarrassing, made a sound that can only be transcribed as BLAH

    Also nobody in Konosuba will ever have sex. The universe won't allow it

    The universe has nothing to do with this and is offended that you think it even has to do anything other than let the Konosuba gang dig their own holes

    maybe read my post again, because I was very clear it isn't just dating that I have an issue with?

    It's that Konosuba can't help but start pushing the sex angle with just about everything. Sometimes it's goofy and funny like with Darkness, but it makes me profoundly uncomfortable when they do it with Megumin given that she's 13 at the start of the series (she's 13, kazu is 16, fyi). The age difference matters way more at that sort of age and I really don't like the way konosuba presents this sorta stuff.
