concur.  

It's pretty heavily implied that Hajime and Yue have actually had sex and have a working physical relationship once they have left the labyrinth. The jealousy of the other girls basically comes from the knowledge that he is banging Yue and not everyone else (yet.. as I assume he will have to marry them all as is the custom with harem anime).

Also in the first episode of the second season this exchange happens

There was no death scene for Butch and Sundance either.  I guess you think they lived because it wasn’t shown?

Some other possibilities.

- Having extreme ADD

- Having the deduction skills of a potato

- Being totally clueless about sex

Edit: for anyone else here I would assume they’d know I was just kidding and wouldn’t get triggered, but for Stitches I should probably clarify I’m just joking.

Even if they aren't actually having sex, the implication by saying he's her "lover" is that they are since that's what it means and that's how the clerk took it.

Once you get past the "WTF did she just say" the scene is pretty funny.  Like why would she randomly say that?  Was she just bored and wanted to see him freak out?

Well I stand corrected as never having heard it in a movie.  Not that it matters but it was probably a stupid thing of me to to say in the first place because all kinds of people use different terms in different ways.  In the particular instance of this show I still stand by the dialogue was meant to confirm that they are indeed lovers

Arifureta reminds me of How NOT To Summon A Demon Lord.  A very entertaining S1 that I rewatched several times with a very forgettable S2 that’s just okay.  I mean it’s still watchable, but I’m not exactly counting off the days until the next episode airs.

I went into Ranking of Kings actually wanting to NOT like it.  The premise seemed stupid and the art style looked horrible.  TBH, I was very tempted to quit 10 minutes into it, but I stuck it out and I am so glad I did.  I was intrigued by the end of E1 and hooked by the end of E3.

I’m trying to think of the last time I had a “this child must be protected at all costs” feeling for a male anime character before Bojji and I can’t think of one off the top of my head.

I'm also of the "they didn't do it camp", their 'intimate relationship' could very well be based on her sucking his blood, anyways who cares, it plays the same either way.

Because of this thread I went back and watched the scene at the mansion. She walks naked into the tub, says "All of me is yours" then he tries to leave and she says "You're not going anywhere" and naked tackles him. Later they say they are lovers.

Yeah it's pretty clear in the anime as well.

Alright I made it to the half way mark on episode 4 of Komi and mind you, this is my personal opinion, that show is whack. It's too strange for me and I'm currently loving Kemono Michi so that's saying something. As of late Netflix has these really weird anime and I can't get into them at all, if I didn't have my BIL's password I'd totally cancel the service

ETA Strange isn't a good word.. it's supposed to be a comedy about someone with crippling social anxiety and it's just odd, it's not funny, making fun of her psychoses isn't funny , the characters are all disagreeable and I'm going to stop before I make someone really mad

You actually watched the Netflix version?



Also Komi doesn’t suffer from psychoses so I’m not sure how anyone could be “making fun of her psychoses.”  Unless maybe you’re taking her happy cat ears as her literally seeing cat ears on herself and no one else can see them.  Though I can’t recall anyone making fun of her for it.

Same. I couldn't finish S2 of "how not to summon a demon lord". Not sure what they did but this season of arifureta feels subpar compared to S1. Ranking of Kings has become one of my favorite shows even though the first time I watched it I didn't even finish the first episode. Now I'm just binge watching random shit while waiting for RoK to drop each week. I watched Grimoire of zero and kanojo mo kanajo next up is Fire Force and Vinland Saga.

Yeah, I haven't seen an anime with a bigger drop off in enjoyment level from S1 to S2 outside of The Promised Neverland.

I've been recommending that one as a "better than it has any right to be" anime for a while, but you must call it by it's proper title: Loli and the Beast.

That was the first I've watch of the genre although I'm not sure what it is considered? I'm just trying to broaden my horizons and watch shows that aren't shitty isekais. I caught the first two episodes of odd taxi dubbed that crunchy roll dropped. It's not to bad and I don't mind the anthropomorphic animals but I can't shake the feeling that I'm watching an adult version of Zootopia.

Any recommendations for something similar? I'm still pretty new to the genre.

So you are looking for fantasy adventure anime, hold the isekai, hold the awkward harem, with an extra helping of fight scenes?

Some options:
Full metal alchemist brotherhood
Goblin Slayer
Dimension W

Hunter x Hunter and Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood are the two best anime with 60+ episodes, IMO.  If you haven’t seen one or both of those, I’d recommend starting there.

I'll springboard off of this.......

Big yes to Goblin Slayer. Did you watch Grimoire on HiDive ? cause you can click the 'you might like' tab, as there are several there that I'd also recommend--
Fate/Grand Order Absolute Demonic Front:Babylonia
Gate
Is it Wrong to pick up Girls in a Dungeon (all of it)

Show's airing this season that I'm watching (YMMV)--
Yashahime Princess Half-Demon
Fantasia Sango-Realm of Legends
Sabiki Bisco
Orient

A couple of resent shows--
Peach Boy and Back arrow.

I'd have to go through my viewing records to recommend any more, but that's a start, and should keep ya busy

I'll give FMA and Dimension W a shot. I've already watched Goblin Slayer and enjoyed it.

I've caught a couple episodes of Sabikui Bisco already and I'll check out the rest. Any opinion on Black Clover?

Was Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood the revised version that came out later?

It was weird watching FMA in its entirety, and then watching the revised version later with plot changes and episodes in the wrong order.

I'll jump in on this one.  I personally really like Black Clover but will be the first to admit it is not for everyone. Asta is very loud and obnoxious at first. He gets a lot better a few episodes in but some people can't get past it.  A lot of the characters have exaggerated personalities so it can be over the top at times. I recommend you watch about 6 episodes before you decide if you want to continue or not. I have watched it dubbed and subbed and I like both versions. Chris Sabat voices Captain Yami in the English dub so it's funny to hear Piccolo from DBZ saying the things Yami says.

Where those story lines diverge (FMA and Brotherhood) the anime had caught up with the manga and they got permission to go forward without source material in the direction they chose.
Brotherhood follows the manga in its entirety.

That's what I remember hearing, but wanted to make sure I had the details straight.

FMA (both versions) is definitely one of my favorite animes so far.

Also Komi doesn’t suffer from psychoses so I’m not sure how anyone could be “making fun of her psychoses.”  Unless maybe you’re taking her happy cat ears as her literally seeing cat ears on herself and no one else can see them.  Though I can’t recall anyone making fun of her for it.

Okay not a psychoses but a mental illness for sure and I'm not saying that the characters of the show are doing it but the creator is. Every episode starts off with some ramble about social anxiety and then they make gags about it. Oh she's so scared she's shaking but everyone thinks she's angry. Oh she's freaking out but were going to draw these weird eyes on her and what? Is it supposed to be funny? Endearing? I don't connect at all with the show or the characters and find them all unlikeable.

One of my Fav's

Asta's 'yelling' can be off putting at first, but it get's better.
