6·4 小时前Work has been nuts this whole month and I am at least a week behind in just about everything I have been watching, even after dropping a handful of shows mid-season. More recently, I hope everybody got some news they were waiting for during AnimeJapan this past weekend. With that said, it is time to look ahead. The neverending churn of new shows grinds on…
Definitely Watching
- Apotehcary Diaries - This is continuing for another cour. Everybody make sure to check out !theapothecarydiaries@ani.social and shoutout to @sag@ani.social
- I’ve Been Killing Slimes For 300 Years - Season 2! It’s finally here and I am really looking forward to it. I need some chill iyashikei now more than ever.
- Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX - I have never watched a Gundam series before as it airs, so this will be new. Make sure to check out !gundam@ani.social as well!
- Rock is a Lady’s Modesty - I really like the manga for this series, but only the first volume or so has been translated, so I am not sure where it’s going. Looking forward to finding out.
Will Try to Watch (Time Permitting)
- The Too-Perfect Saint - I really enjoy this manga and am curious to see how this got adapted. There is a surprising amount of emotion in this one and I hope that they can build up the emotions as it goes for the payoff later.
- A Ninja and an Assassin Under One Roof - I have enjoyed the manga for this series, but it isn’t a series that I feel like I need to watch after reading the manga. It’s more like I am curious about the adaptation.
- I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire! - I have seen people compare this series to one of my favorites, The Eminence in Shadow. So, I am going to try to give it a shot if I can find time.
Might Check Out Depending on Reception
- Apocalypse Hotel - This is an anime original in a post-apocalyptic setting. I kind of have a thing for post-apocalypse stories, so I will probably end up checking this out if it’s interesting.
- Kowloon Generic Romance - This manga has sat on my to-read list for ages. If the anime is well-received, I might just go that route.
- mono - I never watched Yuru Camp, but this is by the same author and I feel like a comfy SOL is just what the doctor ordered for me right now.
Weekly ranking roundup:
- Anime Corner - Full Results - Weekly Winner: Solo Leveling
- Reddit Karma - Weekly Winner: Solo Leveling
Credit to /u/Abysswatcherbel for making the chart for reddit karma and /u/Nooble5 for the Anime Trending chart.
Solo Leveling clearing the field this past week. The huge gains in both charts (karma and vote share) show that it must have had a great episode. In fact, the top 3 for both charts are identical which rarely happens.
It’s a perfect follow-up role after playing Alexia in The Eminence in Shadow, where she is also a wannabe pet owner.
The Anubis project is an interesting one. I first saw it the other day from this article. I also think it’s funny that the only real ask from the dev is that the Anubis character not be removed without paying for an enterprise license.
I have really, really enjoyed this show. I don’t think it is the best thing I have ever watched or anything like that, but it’s iyashikei vibes are exactly what I need right now. The fact that grandpa knew about the other world wasn’t too surprising after all the hints he gave earlier in the episode, but it was nice that it got confirmed.
2·2 天前Top tier smug pose there
The short chapters were something that Pseudo Harem had as well. I mostly binged that series, so it wasn’t too bad, but this could be painful.
So…what is Frieren doing in there all the time?
Something tells me this ex is going to cause problems…
Oh wait, the protagonist literally tells us:
Oh, geez. That definitely wasn’t there when I made the post. I remember checking because I thought the story had ended (though I haven’t watched it, so I wasn’t sure). I will update the title to make it clear. Thanks for pointing it out!
The faces in this series are so good. Also, this panel cracked me up. The gap between how we see her and how others see her is so huge.
I really liked this chapter! It felt like some kind of crossover with !otomegames@ani.social. Also, senpai has some great words of life advice.
Early in this series I expected that it would be revealed that Misaki wss a girl this whole time. However, I think I would be disappointed in that ending at this point. I don’t think Hareta wants an easy out like that. I suspect he is on a mission to change the rules of their universe to recognize his feelings for Misaki and won’t be satisfied with anything less.
That’s fair. I guess the little demons that pop up around her occasionally are also fairly non-threatening.
The translation switching to Mythfolk threw me for a minute. Also, Yutaka managed to somehow seduce this succubus to where she is feeling like Hakari from 100 Girlfriends.
Really looking forward to Sami-chan’s mom entering the story. This demon realm place is not what I would normally envision based on that description.
Are you thinking of Arifureta instead of Tsukimichi? I know that happens with Tio in Arifureta, but I don’t remember Tomoe from Tsukimichi ever having that done to her…unless there are some bonus chapters I missed when reading the webnovel.
Tsukimichi is pretty good, though it can be a slow build. It’s one of my favorite isekai (as is Eminence in Shadow).
Now I really want to try toasting Castella cake like this.
I wish I had your confidence in the Texas judicial system to only apply this law in an appropriate and measured way.
So, my reading drought continues this week, but should hopefully be resolving itself soon. I have mentioned before in this community that I work in the sciences, and these past couple weeks, I have been neck-deep in technical writing and reviewing. After a whole day of writing, reading, and revising technical reports, I just can’t bring myself to do any reading for fun. So, I have largely turned to English-language content recently (most recently were the Lord of the Rings films).
In any case, here are a couple more series that I have read and enjoyed in the past that I don’t think I have shared in this community.
I just saw that a new SL group picked this series up to try to finish it up. However, way back when I enjoyed the beginning of this series and ended up reading the entire webnovel. The story is pretty good despite a pretty generic setup and the characters are likeable.
Yes, I will grant you that the setup for this series is a bit suspect. However, the humor in this series is fun in a turn your brain off kind of way. The basic premise is that the MC has a crush on her friend’s little sister. However, that little sister is actually a huge siscon. So, they get roped into situations together to get closer to their crushes. It’s contrived, but funny.
I think I might have mentioned this one before, but it continues to be great, so I am going to mention it again. Basic story is that the human hero goes to confront the Demon Lord, only for her to ask his hand in marriage. He is hopelessly unable to defeat her, but she isn’t interested in conquering anything other than his heart! It’s a lot of stupid fun and I wish there was more of it to read.
This series is hardly a story at all, basically a guy that wants to be a baker/patissier bonds with his next-door neighbor over sweet things. It has all the trappings of a romance series, but it ended up going on hiatus before really getting anywhere. But, it was tasty-looking while it lasted.
