    My wife is pretty limited on the anime she'll watch but Yuru Camp worked for her really nicely. Anyone have a good recommendation for a show with a similar vibe? Sub or dub is fine.

    Started watching s-CRY-ed on crunchyroll and I gotta say, going from the modern era where they never subtitle the opening or ending songs to an anime from the 2000's that has both the romanized and english lyrics in separate subtitle colors really makes me feel like someone just uploaded their fansub to crunchyroll somehow.

    The original Mobile Suit Gundam television series has been available to stream on Crunchyroll for a while now.

    Its sequel, Mobile Suit Gundam Z - or Zeta Gundam - is available to stream on Funimation.

    As of yesterday, Zeta Gundam's sequel, Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ (Double Zeta) and the feature film finale Char's Counterattack are available to stream on Crunchyroll.

    That's the entire epic story of Amuro, Char, Bright, and the rest, finally available legally to stream in the US.

    Y'know, if you want to plan your Animenagerie schedule out for... a while.

    I should probably give them a go, i'm on a gundam kick right now. Currently doing a 2nd rewatch of IBO - man, but Kudelia is the best implementation of the naive-but-caring princess archtype that gundam loves. (Well, Audery is also great). The fact that her response to "Doesn't know enough" is "I'm going to study the shit out of this" and it actually pays off really helps - she's aware she's naive and dosent think she's got all the answers.

    Considering watching the hilarious trashfire that is Seed next. Which was actually my intro drug to gundam/anime in general.

    I love that the two leads are finally dating but it's practically an accident. She says something a bit unintentionally flirty, before he even thinks about it he doubles down and asks if she wants to try dating, and whoops now they're dating and both of them are kinda surprised by it.

    Normally will they won't they tension comes from like, self doubt that so and so REALLY likes me. Like more of a self esteem risk. And while they have a little bit of that, the two of them are such wholesome little sweethearts that more than anything it feels like they're just afraid of messing up their friendship if things don't work out. They really, legitimately don't want to risk their friendship.

    So now they're dating and like instead of being purely excited they're actually more freaked out than before.
    When he asked his friend if he thinks in words that got me hard cos I don't.
    edit: I just realised this could be read sexually but I meant emotionally. Ok. Just making sure we all understand.

    Speaking of 'one creepy character' we watched a few episodes of Keijo!!!!!! tonight to prep for the marathon on Monday. I think it went pretty well! Everyone seemed to realize pretty quickly that the conflicting ways it's been described here are all somehow true.

    Kaguya-sama: Love is War by Aka Akasaka will be ending in 14 chapters. The series will conclude with it's 28th Volume.

    It's a good time to end it while it's still good, but I really think, looking at chapters from previous year, that author had plans for more story and characters, but got tired of writing two mangas at the same time and scrapped most of it.

    I dunno, maybe? But I think discarded plot threads are common in most manga, and in serial fiction in general. There's greater reason in serial fiction to throw stuff at the wall and see what sticks a bit.

    The last important plot thread that we HAVE TO get somehow concluded is
    Ishigami x Miko relationship
    Other than that, I think author had plans for:
    • introducing Hifumi Abe, who never shows up in the series, but we meet his cat - after all, this manga's story is inspired by Tale of a Bamboo Cutter, and all of the suitors from it are represented in the plot... with an exception of Abe, which seems weird;
    • putting all the important characters in the same class kinda did not lead up to anything substantial;
    • we got introduced to a class teacher, that showed up from one chapter only, and then never again;
    • there was a serious drama with Shirogane;s household and his mother, who abandoned her husband and son, took her daughter with her, yet in the end Kei willingly returned to Shirogane and Papagane - if we never learn anything more about it, I feel the Shirogane's story will lack proper closure, considering that most of his issues were born due to being abandoned as a child;
    • and, most egregiously - WHAT THE FUCK is the deal with previous student's council president? We meet him in the flashback, he is replaced by Shirogane, and THEN we learn that actually he was still attending the school, but was some kind of social pariah, but the people that were friends with him earlier still respect him a lot, but we know nothing more about it? WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED HERE, AKASAKA

    There's some other stuff too which is a bit more optional
    - Maki's whole existence has been suffering and there's never really been any resolution to that whole love triangle thing
    - Fujiwara x Hayasaka, which admittedly is probably never happening but he definitely hinted towards it a few times
    - Doesn't Fujiwara still need a showdown with the final ramen guy?

    I recently found out that the author of Spy x Family had previously done three different one-shots that all failed to become full series. So he combined all three to create Spy x Family.

    One of the one-shots was a spy story with the disguises and everything like Loid uses.
    One was a fantasy story about a man and a woman taking care of an adorable Medusa-kid that they have to keep secret.
    The last one was about a witch.

    You can easily see where elements of the first two became Spy x Family, but what about the third?

    Well...
    This is the witch.

    I see. No wonder it felt so weird.
    All the re explaining what we already know works fine in an extra chapter where its just a short panel but its a weird ass choice for a finale, cos it drags on longer. It just feels like filler. Doesnt matter that its not.
    I mean, literally arguably is anyway even in the original. It was such an unmemorable chapter I forgot it existed.
