    Honestly, even if it's not an intentional comparison, that part of the anime just left a sour taste in my mouth even without knowing about its controversy.

    Boy does it make you earn it, but Re:ZERO really sticks the landing.

    Nothing is quite like the rollercoaster ride of emotions like Re: Zero. Very few stories also realize that their MC is a huge piece of shit to start and actually say "No, it's a bad thing he's like this"

    I don't think I've ever holy shitted so hard at anime as when
    He was in the 3rd(?) time loop on the way back from the castle and he gets back to the mansion where Puck is going berserk because Emilia died. You just see this enormous shadow behind the mansion and have just a moment to go hey what's that? And then Subaru's head just disappears and then credits over the scene of everything slowly freezing.

    Pretty sure this trailer is for Asian regions where Netflix has the rights, unless I'm wrong

    Land of the lustrous was a show I wasn't very in to during the first episode and I thought the cgi was kinda weird/bad.

    By the end of it I was slamming my hands on the table because I have questions in need of answers and I can't imagine it being anything but the CGI

    There's a Twitter account out there called "O'brien Must Suffer" or similar, with wacky Deep Space 9 episode pitches punctuated with a non-sequitur sentence on how Miles O'brien is being tormented this time.

    The last five or six episodes of Yu Yu Hakusho's Dark Tournament arc have felt similar, between one half "team Urameshi slowly advances through battle with varied enemies on the main stage" and "blood continues to erupt from Yusuke's body".

    Kanojo mo kanojo this week:

    Saki: Yes it is true classmates, I know it's shocking but my boyfriend is two-timing me!
    Random Classmate: Actually it sounds like you're describing ethical polyamory, and as long as you're all happy we have no right to judge. After all love comes in many forms!
    All the Idiots: Wait, what?
    Random Classmate: It does sound pretty funny though, you could probably make a pretty funny manga with that setup!

    something about the Bookworm protagonist is creepy to me

    like, there is nothing in the text or the show to support this, but something about this adult lady running around in a child's body gives me Orphan vibes

    Get in the way of her and a book, and there's not much difference.

    So I must really be missing something about re:zero cause yall talk so much about how shitty he is, but I never got that from what I read up to. does it only really start to show after his save point is the mansion?

    It's present, but in subtle ways, up to the mansion arc. How he thinks that he's entitled to having super powers because he got isekai'd, how he thinks he's entitled to Emilia, how he thinks he's entitled to a victory etc. He has to swallow his pride in order to succeed and ask for help to start.

    It really becomes apparent during the immediate arc in the aftermath of the mansion. He
    fucks up and goes full incel. Gets his ass beat. And keeps trying to desperately scrounge for purchase in trying to help Emilia, all selfishly and without real thought.

    It takes Rem having a heart to heart with him before he fully realizes his shortcomings and tries to do better.

    I enjoy that show as the complete breakdown of a person. I find it very darkly funny.

    As I recall the manga even starts to lampshade this, with "war" and "geniuses" eventually getting crossed off the title

    I'm three episodes into season 2 of Kaguya-sama and it feels like a really weird tone shift has happened. Both the leads have pretty much dropped their calculating nature and are total goofballs now. Kaguya has a complete girly freakout anytime Shirogane looks at her, meanwhile he's stomping around like a maniac worshiping the moon. What the fuck is going on?

    Romcom hijinks have rotted their brains

    If we're talking about shows that I wouldn't expect to like but so far have... I kind of really like Call of the Night so far. The characters really do feel like weirdo awkward teenagers. And I could do without the horny understones but... on the other hand how awkward the three characters who've appeared so far get around anything slightly erotic or romantic is genuinely funny and endearing so I dunno.

    I like the character design a lot, but the plot to start felt meandering. Maybe I'll get back into it.

    Nameless Short-haired girl is the MVP in the latest Kanojo mo Kanojo.
    Insults them all, doesn't see a problem with their consensual relationship, then leaves without elaborating while telling Saki to tell her everything later because it sounds like it will be a hilarious story.

    I was looking for a way to kill an evening when Kana made that post yesterday, so I checked out the comic and yeah. Like it's definitely a comic you need to turn your trash blinders on for, but it can be actually fun. But this most recent arc has just been like, hoping it ends soon.

    New chapter of Skip and Loafer and ooooh noooo already
    This feels like such a realistic, character-centered way for their dating relationship to immediately hit the rocks. They were like, "lets just not tell anyone yet we're dating, it'd be kind of weird." Girls from class come up to hit on boy, he's not interested but he also just kinda goes along with everything so he doesn't push back against them anyway. The girls see the two of them together and are like, "Oh what, are you two DATING??? LOL no of course you couldn't be!" Girl says nothing. Boy, crucially, also says nothing, and still agrees to hang out with their group later.

    Now girl is pissed and humiliated because the implication was plainly that she wasn't good enough for him, and he didn't stand up for her and he's still going off to hang out at what is plainly a thinly-disguised mixer. Boy is like... But they didn't actually insult you and I thought I wasn't supposed to say anything??? And I don't even like them I think it's just a club party thing???

    This feels like a rare storytelling case where the two of them are plainly super into each other and compliment each other well and they're both adorable little cinnamon rolls... And also the two of them actually dating RIGHT NOW feels like a total mistake, and they'd be better off like breaking up and then getting back together in a year or so after they both actually know what they want.
