I'm also really enjoying the second season of The Dangers in My Heart. Based on the latest episode, it will be interesting to see how both physical growth and character growth will affect their relationship dynamic. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/258158/IMG_5304_jpeg-3097409.JPG The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic is a little less rapey.

I like it so far. It's like if the Beast in the Beauty and the Beast never transformed at the end. So, yeah, interspecies dating. The first episode had potential, but it was all downhill from there for me. In addition to being bored out of my mind, it was also trending towards not heading in a direction that could lead to it eventually being interesting. I asked about it here, my suspicions were confirmed, and I bailed at E4. It’s too bad they insisted on a TV-Y7 vibe. The concept had potential. Though I’m glad at least someone here enjoyed it. |

It’s been over a year since I last recommend Seton Academy: Join the Pack. I could write an essay about why you will enjoy it if you watch it, but I’ll just say watch the first 15 minutes of E1.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PepePewPew: Somewhere in the Anime Himmel remarks upon Heiter's age or aging appearance at the end of the journey, which gave me the idea Heiter was significantly older but he was actually very close to Himmel's age. It's funny how they drew old Himmel shriveled and hunched over like a 95 year old woman with osteoporosis at 75-80. I found some childhood info on Heiter and Himmel in the manga, Heiter is taller but I can't tell if he's just taller or if he's a couple years older than Himmel. He kind of acts like Himmel's senior so I'll go with two years older. I guess that post was just me wondering why Himmel looked so decrepit 50 years later, when Heiter still looked fairly spry 20 years after that. In the Anime Himmel kept checking the status of the sealed demon Qual up until about the time he died, and in the Manga a knight very far north met Himmel in the woods when he was in his 70s, so as you say Himmel the hunchback did still get around despite his appearance. Click To View Spoiler There's some flashbacks and even time travel in the manga chapters especially 100-120 that answered some of my questions. The translation I read ends with chapter 121. I picked it up where the Anime currently is. After reading 121 I tried chapter 1 and said "this translation is shit". I don't know if it changed translators or if the translator got better, but I can't enjoy the early chapters. https://www.mangaread.org/manga/frieren-at-the-funeral/chapter-1/ Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PepePewPew: Somewhere in the Anime Himmel remarks upon Heiter's age or aging appearance at the end of the journey, which gave me the idea Heiter was significantly older but he was actually very close to Himmel's age.

Is 7th Time Loop: The Villainess Enjoys a Carefree Life Married to Her Worst Enemy any better than the previous 87 anime with similar “villainess” titles?
The concept of a “villainess” MC does interest me, but all the previous “villainess” anime have been disappointments, IMO. I don’t think I made it past E4 for any of them. |

Both have a OP that’s trying to avoid their incident death, in Tearmoon it’s a guillotine, in 7th it’s by a prince that kills her. Same basic premise, they remember their past lives and try to correct for survival. Like targetworks said, the OP in 7th is a shrewd character though, and not wish washy like the protagonist in Tearmoon. |

The Kingdoms of Ruin was always going to be trash, but it had the potential to be entertaining trash. Unfortunately, the pink-haired girl has single-handedly made it unwatchable to me.
And the fact that she is voiced by my second favorite dub VA and I still feel this way really speaks to how truly annoying the character is. |

I think a major problem for Ruin is it lacks what all proper revenge anime need: proper villains. Villains who are a threat, are entertaining (or at least not boring), and who the MC and audience have reason to hate. Redo, entertaining trash that it was, did this well. At E7 (where I stalled out), who exactly are the “proper villains” in Ruin? Click To View Spoiler And then there is the MC’s party. Redo had a harem of powerful and cute girls supporting the MC carry out his specific goals. Ruin has an annoying AF pink-haired girl who runs around screaming “why can’t we all just get along?” |

I was in the mood for something dark and it came up on a list of stuff that included Serial Experiments Lain and Chainsaw Man. The artwork is fantastic and so far the story is really good. Made it to ep 7 and it was what I was looking for. You've been warned. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DragoMuseveni: Brace yourself for Episode 10. It's brutal. You've been warned.

Made it to ep 7 and it was what I was looking for. You've been warned. Why would you post something like that to someone who said they are about to watch that episode? It’s like watching a movie you’ve seen with someone else who hasn’t and you say “this next scene is going to be very tragic so brace yourself.” No, it’s not a full on spoiler, but it does needlessly lessen the experience someone has watching it by dropping hints about what is going to happen and when it will happen. |

Not at all. Gives me something to look forward too. |

I thought the purple haired old lady was going to be a weird elvis impersonator or something. Unless I see the ratings suddenly skyrocket, its gonna be a no for me dawg. |

That’s nice for you, but not everyone wants to receive unsolicited hints and/or spoilers about what is going to happen and when it is going to happen for a tv episode or movie scene they are about to watch. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DragoMuseveni: How is saying an upcoming episode is "Brutal" any different saying an episode was "a WTF mindfuck" or the ending of a series is "epic" Besides there's no preparing for THAT.

Besides there's no preparing for THAT. “The series finale is epic” is a far cry from “brace yourself for E10 that you are about to watch because it is unexpectedly brutal,” IMO. It’s the difference between telling someone the end of a movie is epic versus you leaning in and telling them “this next scene is going to be very tragic so brace yourself." Of course some people don’t mind at all. Hell, some people read the last page of a book first. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By yekimak: Also, Fluffy Paradise is where it is at this season. This show makes my poor wasted brain ooze out the last bits of serotonin it has to offer. Had to look that one up to see if I was watching it, since I do subbed the titles I know are in Japanese. Yeah, it’s cute to the point of giving me cavities, but a nice distraction. |

So far at least. I am awaiting the inevitable cringe. |

So far at least. I am awaiting the inevitable cringe. Depending on their age, I’d be somewhat hesitant to do that for pretty much any anime. I’ve seen anime that seems family friendly for a few episodes and then suddenly, out of nowhere, it isn’t. It’s usually nothing “wholesome,” but it’s also stuff I doubt most parents would want their little kids seeing. |

Well, just finished Heavenly Delusion on Hulu.
Talk about going out with a whimper. Pretty disappointed about the mehness since it seemed to have so much potential. I'll take Seton Academy over this, much better closing song:  Murenase! Seton Gakuen ED Full - "Ookami Blues" [Lyrics] [CC] |

Burn in hell...
https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20240125_22/ "A Japanese court has sentenced a man to death for the arson attack that killed 36 employees at a famous animation studio in Kyoto. The number of deaths is the largest on record in a criminal trial in the country in more than three decades." This was the maniac that burned down KyoAni (Kyoto Animation). |
