Especially people with diabetes.  If you didn't like Aharen then you probably wouldn't like Komi. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Hunter-Killer: I love that anime. Here is the post I made a while back about it: I HIGHLY recommend Hinamatsuri. It's classified as comedy, slice of life, sci-fi, and supernatural and I have NEVER seen a 12/13 episode anime that gave me more literal LOL moments. Especially one that was fairly wholesome. There were multiple individual episodes that caused me to laugh more than other comedy anime did during their entire series. The plot is hard to describe, but its basically about a loli terminator with telekinetic powers who goes back in time, runs into a playboy Yakuza member, and forces him to act as her father. He hates it at first, but then he realizes how useful a loli terminator with telekinetic powers can be in his line of work. Naturally another loli terminator character arrives to hilariously try to kill her. She even has a "I need your clothes, boots, and your motorcycle" arrival scene.  This is basically a 6 minute version of the first episode:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pX_w9byWmSYThere is also a dub and, if you're not opposed to dubs, I recommend that since some of the humor doesn't translate as well in the sub. Either version is hysterical though. The manga carries the story a but further if I remember correctly.

I watched episode 1 in its entirety and my impression is that this series is top to bottom, in and out, all the way fucking retarded. At the very least, it's a romance about a tomboyish girl who is trying to be more cute and feminine, and a weak, clumsy/unlucky guy who is trying to be more manly, similar to Horimiya's concept (but without the flat chest). If they didn't include something along the lines of my speculation after watching it the second time, they missed out on an opportunity to add some depth (and likely comedy) to her backstory, and the scene near the end of the first episode makes less sense (to the point that I would agree with the retarded assessment). |

I watched E1 (not great, but I’ll give it a few more episodes) and the nudity was very lazily censored. Usually the type of stuff you see on censored versions of ecchi anime. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Hunter-Killer: Anyone know if there are any plans for an uncensored version of Miss Kuroitsu from the Monster Development Department? I watched E1 (not great, but I’ll give it a few more episodes) and the nudity was very lazily censored. Usually the type of stuff you see on censored versions of ecchi anime. Don't know about an uncensored version - but if you're a fan of subtle or dry humor or poking fun at anime tropes and/or skewering the idiocies of typical corporate life, it's a great series. I really enjoyed it. |

So far this seems to be the OP of the season according to /a/. I can't decide if I love it or hate it.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By brasscrossedrifles: I'm going to reluctantly watch the 2nd episode of Shikimori but only because of JPNs point. I watched episode 1 in its entirety and my impression is that this series is top to bottom, in and out, all the way fucking retarded. Turns out the anime is based on a manga. The manga is more subtle than the anime's first episode, concerning the hints that she's hiding something, and they changed up the order of events (similar to how they changed Nagatoro to cover more chapters by the end of the season), so I'm hoping the anime reveals the secret much more quickly than the manga did. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By brasscrossedrifles: Should I pick up the manga? How many chapters will I have to read before I learn that it isn't as stupid as it looks? The early chapters of the manga are short, and the story doesn't flow as well as the later chapters (which makes the changes in the anime easier to understand how they justified it). It is a high school romantic comedy with some drama mixed in concerning the growth of the characters and their interactions with each other, with the romantic duo not really being what a person might think they are at first glance, making it somewhat similar to Horimiya (though Horimiya comes closer to a 'mature' rating). The clumsy/unlucky bit seems to be stressed more in the beginning, probably just to get the point across that everybody that has known him for a while is not surprised when such things happen around him. If you liked Horimiya, you might like this, but the manga for this series waited about 125 chapters to reveal the big secret from the backstory, while Horimiya was much quicker to reveal secrets in the couple's backstories. As I said, I'm hoping that the anime's change in the pacing of the story, along with being more blatant about the clues, means they are planning to do the reveal much quicker. |

Is anyone else somewhat disappointed in The Strongest Sage With the Weakest Crest or In the Land of Leadale?
Both feel more like a generic Mary Sue: The Anime to me. I completely understand the OP MC trope, and have no issue when it's done correctly. Characters like Ainz, Diablo, Rimaru, and Hajime all seem to be well thought out, and their abilities and power levels are generally explained quite well. Matthias (Strongest Sage) and Keina (Leadale) both feel like their power levels are completely handwaved in comparison. It's hard to explain exactly why their characters feel so off to me, but they do. Perhaps it's that there seems to be no rhyme or reason to how magic actually works in their world, and they can simply make up whatever magical spell they need at the moment. It's like they have a magical "I win" button, which they just spam repeatedly. Sure, Ainz and Rimaru are also completely OP, but at least they do so with style. Matthias and Keina's characters just feel flat to me for some reason. I also have a specific question regarding Keina... How is she level 1,100 (iirc) when the other two players, one of which has been there for 10 years, are both only around 400? Why is she the only max level player, and why is there such a disparity between her and the other players' levels? It just doesn't make sense to me. Anyway, I just wanted to get that rant off my chest, and see if anyone felt the same way about those two shows. Again, I'm not against overpowered MCs, but I am against lazy Mary Sue MCs. Opinions, anyone? |

Opinions, anyone? I thought The Strongest Sage With the Weakest Crest was entertaining trash while In the Land of Leadale was just trash. I kept watching it waiting for something to happen, but the last two episodes were probably the worst of the series. They were so boring I barely even remember what happened and I watched it like a month ago. Something about her building a house and adopting some rando little girl or some shit. Admittedly, the vast majority of the joy I got from The Strongest Sage With the Weakest Crest was because of Iris.   Failed To Load Title |

Perhaps it's that there seems to be no rhyme or reason to how magic actually works in their world, and they can simply make up whatever magical spell they need at the moment. It's like they have a magical "I win" button, which they just spam repeatedly. Mattias used magic to extend his lifespan in his previous life, and spent much of it researching magic. He actually did create new magic spells and new magic items in that previous life. The main restriction in his new life is that his new body hasn't yet gotten to the point that it can withstand the strain of the higher end spells he cast in his previous life. Keina was a high end player in her previous life (if you look at it as previous life) and was given some authority by the system to create new magic spells or skills, due to her having completed certain quests and leveled up as much as she did. She's essentially a demi-god, in that world. I also have a specific question regarding Keina... How is she level 1,100 (iirc) when the other two players, one of which has been there for 10 years, are both only around 400? Why is she the only max level player, and why is there such a disparity between her and the other players' levels? It just doesn't make sense to me. They haven't leveled up much since being reincarnated/transferred/trapped in that world. Their levels were at that point, or a little lower, the last time they logged into the game that is so similar to this world. Rather than transferring or reincarnating into an isekai as a starting level player, they each transferred as a character they had been roleplaying in the game, with the appearance, level, skills, abilities, and equipment their character had in the game. Raising levels involves some risk in combat, and they were more inclined to take that risk when they knew it was just a game and they could respawn. In this new world, they have to live with the danger of complete 'game over'(death) when taking that sort of risk. Keina was such a high level, because she had been living in an ICU bed with the game as her main escape from what she was going through in the hospital. She was essentially living online in that game, while other players had to deal with their offline lives restricting how much time they spent in the game. |

She was essentially living online in that game, while other players had to deal with their offline lives restricting how much time they spent in the game. Even with her being able to play all the time, I still don't buy the idea that Keina was the only max level player in the game world. Unless the game is brand new, I'd say the majority of MMORPG players have at least one max level character. The idea that only she and some noobs were trapped in the game world seems a bit far-fetched to me, even for a trash isekai. Where are all of the other high level players? Log Horizon was a much better example, where the majority of players were max level or close to it, but there were also newer players with low level characters, due to the anticipation of the new expansion. The newer players seemed to be in the minority though, which is what one would expect with a long-lived MMORPG. Old games generally don't have a lot of new players. Again, both Matthias and Keina's magic seems to be comprised of spells somehow always specifically tailored for the task at hand. It just feels lazy to me, like they are the textbook definition of a Mary Sue. Heck, even Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear did a better job explaining why the MC's magic was so overpowered. She had the specific ability to cast anything she could imagine, and it would be even more powerful if imagined in the form of a bear. She was also as ruthless as Goblin Slayer when it came to her methods of extermination, which gave her bonus style points.  Being an RPG gamer at heart, I have an aversion to characters or abilities that feel completely inconsistent with the rest of the game world. That's how these two characters feel to me. |

That was the big mystery, and why she was looking for the other towers. She was the only top level player (that she knew of) that showed up in this world, and the few players she encountered were around mid-level. The rest of the world was what would have been NPCs in the game world, but this new world appeared to be a real world that had been created as a copy of what the game world would have been 200 years after all the players left the game world when it was shut down. The other players told her the game server was being shut down before they got transferred to this world, and there didn't seem to be much temporal continuity in when former players showed up in the new world. The anime left some unanswered questions. |

If anybody is curious, I did a comparison between the first episode of Shikimori and the manga chapters.
The bit at the beginning, where Izumi leaves his house and meets Shikimori (before they start walking together), is not in the manga (at least not that I can recall or find by skimming the chapters). From there it's ch1 ch6 first part of ch18 ch2 rest of chapter ch18 ch3 A bit of jumping around, with a little rewriting. Makes it hard to even guess at how the pacing of the upcoming episodes is going to go. |
