    I also don't think it's any gayer than any other sports show; there's plenty of food if you infer things in certain ways but the show is honestly too focused on being dumb fun to go deep on anything

    After episode 3 I dont know if you can ignore how gay it actually is

    Queer coded media is not the same as queer media

    It's no more explicit than something like megalobox (where a man gives up his cybernetic enhancements because his boxing rival made him crave feeling his flesh on his flesh (in a boxing way but also you can read it other ways if you want))

    Sports anime and manga are just like this

    Also episode 4 shows that it suffers too much from 'written by horny men' disease to have convincingly worried gay romances

    Correct, gay people deserve to have textual romances in the way straight people do

    I have nothing against "it seems gay to me" but being satisfied with that is how you get... every Disney property of the last decade? The creators should not get tons of extra accolades for "coding" that never actually rises to the level of the actual story.

    Wow season 2 of re:Dive is fucking going places.

    I started it last season but fell off when I got busy gaming and had no time for anime anymore.

    I've been going through my backlog, and apparently the slice of life/help a different character every week stuff ended right when I stopped. The sakuga got kicked up to insane levels, the plot started mattering, and the fights became amazing.

    I finished it this week and I can unironically say that it ended up being worth watching.

    I’m about seven episodes into Aquatope and it’s definitely left me wondering if this is just seems gay or is actually going to do something with it. I’m guessing it’s the more common queer coded stuff.

    But like the two girls use the aquariums new touching pool as an analogy for getting to know each other better by touching each other’s faces lovingly. Almost certain they’re just good friends.

    Dawn of the Witch

    Can't recommend this, but I'm enjoying the schadenfreude of its clumsy, awkward fumbling attempts at existence. The most recent episode was basically filler filler filler filler OH SHIT PACK EVERYTHING INTO THE LAST THREE MINUTES, and then the next episode preview... the next episode preview that starts immediately after the cliffhangers because they skipped the ED... just immediately reveals everything and everybody is fine and happy endings for all.

    Like, this was literally a South Park joke parodying stupid cliffhangers, and it's just done here. Obliviously.

    Golden Kamuy (manga) just finished.
    I guess that's about as happy an ending as we could have hoped for. It would have been nice if there'd been not quite so many 'good' guy deaths (or at least people on Sugimoto's team) along the way, but I suppose it was never going to be a story with no casualties.

    Finished up a classic recently Rose of Versailles. I think I epected that one to be a little gayer. But I guess it's more the fandom that's built up around it and the stuff it's gone on to inspire as a result. Rosalie is super into Oscar at times but kind of disappears from the main plot as the revolution kicks in.
    Everyone loves Oscar. Good show though apart from one old school I love you so bad I can't help but try and sexually assault you a bit, sorry won't happen again.
    I wanted to grab the books but they were super out of stock when I was looking and now I have a backlog of other stuff. Curious if it differs much. The anime felt like it had a big realignment as the revolution starts to come into play. I think I also expected more relationship between Oscar and Marie. They don't get much hang out time back the first third. A lot of time passes in the middle and late stages and they barely interact. Now I should get back around to watching Kageki Shojo at some point to watch folks battle it out for the role of Oscar in the big stage play.
