    Nichijou and Azumanga Daioh are probably the best comedy anime ever made

    Runners up to Bobobo Bo Bobo and Daily Life of Highschool Boys

    Gintama might rely on knowing things a bit much to get many of the jokes, but it's still one of the most hilarious things I've ever watched.

    With a few random incredibly heartfelt arcs thrown in to confuse you.

    Nichijou is weird to me in that watching an episode is so intensive for me that I can only watch like an episode or two a year

    I have never stopped watching Nichijou, I've also just only seen like thirteen episodes of it

    As near as I can tell at this point, it's yuri about teenagers acting as the government's secret police gestapo against evil magic terrorists under the cover of running a cafe.

    Well, I haven't seen any news of massive outbreaks on the news for months now... so either it's not being covered or it's to the point that enough people are vaccinated that it's under control.

    I'm not surprised about AX. They were agitating for last winter if not for LA County's covid restrictions. We didn't stop making masks indoors mandatory until maybe three months ago.

    Of course just like everywhere else that thinks the pandemic is over it very much is not and results have been predictable.

    I don't disagree that it's never going to go back to the way it was, but if it's the new normal people should adjust their behavior rather than trying to act like it's the old normal

    I mean, it's pretty much adjacent to just 'regular' girls-at-fighting-school, of which there are a hojillion. Even the secret organization thing is in stuff like Princess Principal, Gunslinger Girls, Release the Spyce, Spec-Ops Asuka, etc.

    But then there's also promos like this.

    I'm not going to judge anyone for wanting to stay home, but I'm going to Supercon next weekend, and I think I'm more than justified to want to enjoy a normal convention again, since I'm vaccinated and have been going out constantly since the pandemic started(since working from home was never an option).

    "Because I want it" isn't a very convincing argument to me, but obviously I have no power over you other than peer pressure. IMO there's a world of ethical difference between going out because we live in a nightmare hellscape and you have to to keep your job and stay alive, and voluntarily going to a convention like anime expo that spends apparently zero effort to be cautious about the ongoing pandemic.

    People take a "calculated" risk to go to these things based on their covid protocols, Anime Expo claims that they require proof of vaccination and masking at all times indoors.

    So when they don't bother to enforce masking and just hand out vaccine wristbands without checking vaccine card, and then cram the building so full that the fire marshal won't allow any more people in the building, it's just wildly irresponsible.

    I recently attended a con for the first time since 2019. You book these things almost a year in advance, myself and all my friends had three vaccine shots and the con was saying all the right things- masks should be worn unless you specifically cannot, places arranged so people can socially distance, increased ventilation in the hotel, you'll need to present a vaccination passport when registering, etc.

    Two weeks before the con UK suddenly killed their vaccination passport program (it's still alive for international travel, so it exists, it just... can't... be used locally? Somehow? Fuck our government), so that wasn't a good sign of things to come and indeed, when we got there, our group were pretty much the only ones wearing masks in public, not even con staffers did. I was later told that some of other friends there had worn masks for the first day, then stopped because no one else was doing it.

    I enjoyed myself, however we probably won't be attending that con in the future, I am not comfortable with how the mask situation was handled and I don't think I'm doing any more public events this year at the very least. Thankfully the hotel had used the pandemic downtime to restructure their public spaces, so you could actually socially distance when chilling, and the dealers' den was structured as a one way loop with a wide walkway and constant airflow, so small mercies.

    Thankfully none of our group caught anything, however a good number of attendants had, including the con chair (who had the decency to leave the con when testing positive). All in all, not a great experience.

    Teppen's first episode was actually surprisingly good, but my lord, is it chaos energy and steeped heavily in Japanese culture. A bunch of its references and jokes kind of flew past my head. I pity the translators in a similar way to Zetsubou Sensei or Joshiraku.

    E:

    And kinda disappointed in LycoReco, to be honest. It's not bad, mind you, but most of the gunfighting stuff in the first episode was in the PVs, and the story is more like... I don't know, Rush Hour? Hot Fuzz? The brunette is the hyper competent government gestapo who endangers her teammates by not giving a shit about them, booted to the overly enthusiastic (also hyper competent) blonde girl's cafe thing where she immediately starts screwing things up with her shoot first attitude and will undoubtedly learn that everybody's life is important, even enemies. It was a fun episode in places, but it also did silly things like Batman style lasso guns. Mostly, so much of the episode was already in the promos though. Second episode should at least be much better on that front.

    It is so fucking over the top absurdly melodramatic and played completely straight.

    The action in Engage Kiss is quite impressive. But the first 15 minutes are basically empty space, and it very much is a magical girlfriend fighting thing, with all the baggage that entails.
