edit: It was good to see that Asta doesn't skip leg day. Also they threw Asta's mother into the last episode and explain absolutely nothing about it. Just, here you go. Crazy.
Did they pause or did they end the series? I read the latter which is very different than the former.
Basically, I just want a kobold to be explained the stock market, then blow it up.
They finished a major arc then started with the transition arc.
I figure they want to wait for the currently being drawn arc to be finished, then they will announce a new season.
That said, the author rarely manages to draw the full 20 pages week to week these days; manga is a tough job.
Basically this office worker in Japan goes to a fantasy world every time he sleeps. He thought it was a dream back when it first started happening but then he realized no he really was going to another world and when he sleeps in that world he wakes up in the modern world, his body physically transferring between them.
Eventually a situation happens where someone else is in close proximity as he's "waking up" and suddenly there's an elf in his apartment. The story shifts between their adventures in the fantasy world and more slice of life when in the modern world. It's not conflicting either, sometimes they use the time gap between worlds to come up with a plan or to escape a dangerous situation in the fantasy world.
I can try to find the name if anyone's interested. Think the English name is something like Elf in Japan, only much wordier.
Welcome to Japan Ms. Elf
There's not much of a story and it's a combination "harem" where the protagonist has no actual interest in any of the would-be contenders, slice of life teaching healthy living tips since the protagonist is a health therapist, and comedy involving the many fantasy races interacting with each other.
I don't quite remember either name of this one, but if you Google elf and French fries you'll probably find it.
Shield hero is one of those ones i heard about, then did a little bit of reading, found out about the antagonist and their lovely names, and their eventual fate and decided that the author clearly had some uh, Issues and i was going to stay the fuck away from this.

Most anime fans are horrid degenerates. Unlike me, who is worse
Summary is that dude got isekai'd, became a hero, saved the fantasy world, and got sent back to the his original world. Only his specs are still fully intact.
Then it turns out there's always been paranormal stuff in the modern world, including a really shitty family of demon hunters and the literal Vatican. It doesn't really have an overarching story and bizarre shit happens constantly, such as when he beats up a Yakuza, has him arrested, and gets admonished for it by one of the demon hunters and a literal angel...because there's an unspoken agreement between the Japanese government and paranormals that anything taken from criminals is free to keep for the paranormals who take them out. In other words, the yakuza are "loot pinatas" for those two characters and the protagonist wonders who the real criminals are in that comedic sense as they squeeze another yakuza member for the location of his main office.
There's interesting weird stuff here and there too though. Like how his childhood friend clearly has something strange going on paranormally or how he doesn't see what's strange about having a mother who doesn't age and has a specialty dish that is literally spaghetti noodles and liquid bleach. Which he loves to eat and calls it "spicy". Just that bit of bizarre which keeps it from being a typical anything.
Oh and pretty much every main character is some type of dirtbag person. Like they are not shining heroes, even the literal former hero though he's somewhat better than most of the dirtbags.
Sitting here thinking "I mean, it's not doing anything groundbreaking but I thought it was cute and inoffensive, am I so out of touch?"

Fuck Joe Manchin
Bofuri would be Rise of the Shield Supervillain.
Her build would have been an Iron Pineapple video set to The Wall
the manga is in what seems like very much the final arc of the series. they've said they're making a movie after the anime finished, so I'm 99% sure it'll be the final arc animated and that'll be that for black clover. rip to a real one
More shallowly it's also just a fun reversal of the standard shounen sports setup. Our protagonist is the ridiculously talented grouchy loner, while her antagonist is the plucky newbie who wants to show others how fun her chosen sport is, and powers through challenger after challenger with sheer hard work and enthusiasm.
Tsundere magical girlfriends.
"My sister wants to fuck me."
"I am a mopey teenager and all the girls around me have metaphysical problems only I can solve solely by existing."
I can almost (almost) see it for the very specific case of the MMORPG they're playing, where it's hooked into your real-world perceptions and your character's movement speed is based on your agility score. Like imagine being stuck at the absolutely pokiest walking speed you can manage, and that's what you have at 0 agility in this game. The wackiness with Maple's build happens when every goddamned point is in Constitution, and the penalties you suffer for having 0 in the other stats would drive someone without a saint's patience insane.
I'm "kupiyupaekio" on Discord.
The 80s were the decade of the OVA, so not so much a genre as 'spend a 12 episode budget on 3-6 episodes'. Then the 90s were the big commercialization tie-in years for mainstream anime, and once Eva came out you get all the Lains and such reacting to that.
Also @Local H Jay I just finished reading that part of Alita as I wrapped up the last volume. Gonna read the gaiden stuff soon, then take a little break before starting Last Order.
I think there have been some factors specific to the anime industry as well. For example, the (deserved) total collapse of the visual novel industry/pipeline of VN -> anime. The haremy nature of VNs shares a lot of the same issues, but they were stories made to highlight a cast of characters, the protagonist is usually a non-entity blob, and especially having an established conclusion. Light novels are more designed to go on for fucking ever and each volume/arc's core commonality is the protagonist, it all narrows down focus to the world having to revolve around them in all ways.
From what I've seen premise is essentially just an excuse for the artist to draw thick monster girls.
Depends if plus size as a fetish counts as body shaming
While it's strictly better than outright shaming, the idea of plus size bodies being "good" because they turn someone's crank is pretty "yikes" on its own.
