    Kinda feel like if I can scroll through the pages of talk about some anime I've never heard of other people can do the same courtesy for the Hot New Show too

    Or we can just make a separate thread for every hot/trending manga/anime cause that won't be annoying at all

    True, but a thread was made for the Chainsaw Man manga which was taking over this thread with spoilers just a couple of months ago in very much the same way Witch from Mercury is right now.

    Yeah and I found that split-off quite annoying but I understood why lots of people clamored for it since it's an ongoing series.

    But even then that thread only gets like 15-20 posts each Tuesday about it then it dies, so it's not like it's a ton of spam or something.

    I knew posting that it was not going to be a popular opinion or realistically going to happen. It's been something I've wanted to say for a while though. Thanks, to those who responded, for not being rude in saying it was a dumb thing to say/ask for.

    Maybe I should get my ass in gear and catch up on the show ;)

    Yeah, G-Witch discussion tends to be hot for a day, then dies off fast.

    I'm honestly surprised Demon Slayer is so lukewarm here, it's extremely popular, like, everywhere else.


    Also, CR seems to have gotten with modern times, I think it finally condensed subs and dubs to the same list.

    I like Demon Slayer quite a bit (the anime, I haven't read the manga), but I don't think anything from the past three episodes has really invited much in the way of discussion. The narrative is fairly straightforward and any speculation could be resolved by a trip to a wiki. Am I curious about Upper One and his relationship to other characters we've seen/have been hinted at? Sure! I just don't think there's much there to actually post about. I could mention that I'm very glad Zenitsu does not appear to be in this arc, but that's a given.

    Demon Slayer is a good burger. That is, it's not doing anything crazy or special so much as just being put together well. I mean, aside from Zenitsu. Like <insert disliked condiments here>, it would be better off without.

    I don't think Zenitsu is going to be in the Swordsmith Arc at all, from what I've heard.

    Demon Slayer is something that works a lot better binged so when things pop off you go from escalation to escalation and it's legitimately quite thrilling. Doing it week to week doesn't hit as well.

    Sell me on Kimagure Orange Road.

    As others have mentioned, its a story centered around a teenage love-triangle, featuring a family of psychics.

    But I honestly sometimes forget about the whole psychic stuff, because the real selling features of the series are:

    -- The VIBES, just, immaculate vibes. This is an anime made in the late 80's, set in the late 80's, and you are constantly reminded of it in the best ways possible. It feels like you're opening a time portal to a lived in reality.

    -- The SINCERITY of the series is remarkably honest. Right off the bat this is a show that sells you on an investment in its characters. You want them to succeed and do well, because they all operate & function as vulnerable, emotional beings.

    I watched what's available of Heavenly Delusion so far. I don't get emotional at media very often, but I teared up a little at ep3.
    When it seemed like Haruki was dead. And then his brain gets transplanted into his sister's body? Even if she decided to sacrifice herself to save her brother, that's messed up.

    I made the mistake of looking up the manga over the weekend and... man... I'm not sure I want to follow it any more. There is... a lot of really upsetting stuff just constantly.

    Hell's Paradise actually puts in a lot of effort and time into the characters, their backstory, and their development in a fully self-contained story.

    Like, it's not groundbreaking in its storytelling or characters or fighting, it's just an extremely well executed Shonen. And turns out those are kinda rare.

    I'm nearing the end of my second read through, and yeah, this. Hoping it gets a full adaption, it's just incredibly stylish and has some real heart
    I like that when it comes up that Gabi's wife might be fake, his reaction is basically yeah, could be, don't believe she is, only way we're proving anything is by getting out of here alive. So we're getting out of here alive.

    Sagiri being the consistently most dangerous when push comes to shove is great. Kinda want them to animate the epilogue of her challenging Jikka, and hopefully, punking his arse

    Another thing Kimagure Orange Road was especially ballsy for, series ending spoilers:
    The love triangle inevitably ends. The main character actually has to make a decision, someone's heart has to be broken.

    And no one walks away unscathed.

    Urobuchi didn't write them.

    That said, I didn't dislike them, they just definitely aren't as good as S1.


    The new opening was incredible, though.

    There is an element of "wow, cool robot" in the second and third seasons, where it seemed like some of the writers really thought the Dominator was cool and wanted to make bigger and better ones just because.

    The tone and moral through-line of Season 2's ending also runs somewhat counter to Season 1's, adding to the sense that Season 2 was written by someone who liked Psycho-Pass but missed the point.
