CG isnt amazingly well written but its "badness" is hugely exaggerated. I dont take it seriously. Shows a bit silly but its fine.

Code Geass is not a good show, but it's an extremely watchable show.
A trainwreck every week. You can't look away.
This was basically my reasoning for selecting it, instead of any of the shows that have been in my suggestions in earlier seasons. It will be a ride, and very memeable.
Rebuild of Eva 3+1 was genuinely kind of impressive in how much it felt like a final capstone on all of Evangelion
like I don't know if that movie lands the same way if you're new to the franchise and watching all at once, but with >15 years of buildup like I had, it hit like a goddamn freight train
I legitimately teared up watching parts of Eva 3+1, it was the ending to Eva that the series had deserved for decades and it finally got it.
But I also like 3.33 so clearly my bias is very strong lol
I actually like code geass and it's ending, I just feel it kinda meanders through the middle and thinks it's smarter than it is.
A lot of code geass is really damn good, yeah. The middle is just a drag like you said and some of the latter portion where shit goes very badly for Lelouche is super contrived and a break of his character in a way that frustrated me. But then the final act comes up, plus the ending, and all is forgiven.
oh huh ancient magus bride is getting a season 2? that's coming out this season?
wait WHAT
holy shit I am hype

Finished g witch s1
Bwuablarabawaba
Watched s2 ep 1
Anytime her mother reassures her: This is fine.
The duel actually makes sense in Suletta's very twisted brainwashed doesnt understand real humans pov. Shes a broken person, it makes sense to her.
Also it worked cos one of them is her Biggest Fan and doesnt really wanna kill her, so it got her out of an immediate death situation. Shes nowhere near Aerial and cannot fight on foot. Any other choice is death here.
Her broken doesnt understand reality mindset accidentally saved her life.
So I’m up to date on gwitch but started watching the English dub with my partner and I don’t hate suletas voice like I thought I would after that first clip came out. I kinda forgot that was just a scene where she’s freaking out and it didn’t represent a normal sample.
Cheat skill in another world ep 2 is interesting because they did an extensive background check on mains entire family and know this kid was severely abused his entire life and its heavily implied none of the people at this new school would have treated him any different if he was still fat.
Its actually a little unnerving how good they are at showing the psychology of an abused person who's finally free of that life

Is that implied? I could certainly believe it, but the Dean was going on and on about how all the students were selected for admission because of their superior character, not abilities, and how the school values character above all else. At the very least the Dean's daughter recognized the MC immediately after his transformation (which reminded me of another anime about someone who slims down, Kiss Him, Not Me. The character that wins the MC's heart in the end is the only one that recognized the MC before they were skinny).
I agree about the second part. The MC has so thoroughly internalized that everyone he meets is disgusted by him and hates him instinctively that he views all conversations with other people through the lens of "I'm sorry for troubling this person who hates me with existence. What can I say to not offend them and end the conversation quickly without them blowing up on me?" Fantasy wish-fulfilment aside, they've gotten the psychological profile spot on.
Episode 2 stuff:
I about got diabetes from the sweetness during the crepe date. And judging by all the onlookers' reactions, that was the intended outcome.
This Otaku Elf show...I'm not sure about it. I might try a few more episodes, but it seems kinda mediocre. I will admit, I wasn't expecting an Abunai Sisters reference in 2023.
Once the ED is on YouTube, definitely check that out though. It looks like they recreated the elf's room IRL, with physical copies of all her fake Gundams and everything.

oh yeah I cried hard watching 3+1 because well, after that I genuinely don't know if I can ever revisit Eva - it's like the true pacifist ending of Undertale, the characters are happier if that stone is left un-turned
if I do ever revisit Eva it'll probably be to finish the manga, which is actually my favorite version of the core events of the story but also one I never actually finished because I stopped being able to find the English language volumes at my library

Rereading what you wrote I can see that now.
I took it as "no one would treat him differently (from how he is currently treated)"
Whereas you meant "no one would treat him differently (from how they treat anyone else)"

I feel like they could've cut out 90% of the esoteric hoopla and just went straight to the end there. All the emotional hits happen in the middle around the village and then right at the very end. Everything else was just headscratching bullshit.

Ok, now I'm actually interested in seeing ya'lls live reactions to these. How do I get in on that?
I actually like code geass and it's ending, I just feel it kinda meanders through the middle and thinks it's smarter than it is.
It's a miracle I never had that moment spoiled for me by the time I finally saw it.

Yeah the
threw me for a loop too.
Two seasons!!!
A trainwreck every week. You can't look away.

I think Zonugal has been trying to get it onto Animenagerie's schedule for literal years at this point.
I have been trying to get it on the schedule for at least 5 seasons
When is the watch thingy I gotta see this
This was basically my reasoning for selecting it, instead of any of the shows that have been in my suggestions in earlier seasons. It will be a ride, and very memeable.
I don't think anyone is prepared to learn what extremely popular and beloved show I was told to cut to replace it with Virtua Fighter.
I don't believe you.

And it doesn't hurt that the strongest parts of 3.0 + 1.0 are basically another act for 3.33
