I cried while watching Yuri on Ice, when yuri perfectly executed his eros performance ;_; those were wild times

What I watched this season:

Gundam GQuuuuuux

• This could have needed a few more episodes to flesh out the character more
• As someone who hasn’t watched all of the original Gundam stuff, I missed out on a lots of the references and was confused at a few moments
• yuri-bait >:(
• otherwise a very fun watch tbh

Rock is A Lady’s Modesty

• super fun throughout!

Apothecary Diaries Season 2

• Loved the intrigue and the increased political scope this season
• Maomao be Maomaoing

To Be Hero X

• The animation is jaw-droppingly beautiful
• The first episodes instantly hook you
• The later stories didn’t grab me as hard but I’m gonna watch this to the end

The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold to Another Kingdom

• This one surprised me!
• I was expecting a run-of-the-mill otome slop story, but what I got was a revenge-plot fuelled by sisterly love
• Mia is best girl
• definitely one of the better otome out there

Definitely gonna watch The Summer Hikaru Died, Dandadan 2 and the new Panty and Stocking series.

YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!

this is currently my favourite villainess story, period!! Aaah so excited!!

Why are dating sims almost always just a gag though OTL

i meant that

//my first impression was that this is an age-gap romance, but after looking up some info, the guy is actually way, way younger than he looks

might give this a try

Just chiming in to say that your comment made me laugh :,)

When Emilia fought Regulus I was just as hyped as Subaru lmao

I’ve been looking forward to this ep and it didn’t dissappoint!

Sidenote but I really like that the envoys seem to be from the in-universe equivalent of the ottoman empire. One of them even speaks some Turkish. You don’t see this kind of representation often in anime (The only example I can think of is Shoukoku no Altair)

The fight was epic for sure but I was kind of disappointed about Cha Hae-In’s introduction. All that setup in the episodes before just for her to not really do anything and immediately develop a crush on him? I had personally hoped for a more direct confrontation and a slow-burn love story :/

I’m also really curious how this whole thing is going to develop power-scaling-wise. He has just now been discovered by the public but is almost certainly already far stronger than most of the S-rank hunters we know so far.

I watched up until the latest episode. It did not improve and kind of got worse in a way?

The only reason I even watched so far was to see how this train-wreck of a story continues, but I’ve had my fill now and will drop it.

I posted a long rant on mastodon about this show just today, but to summarize: I absolutely hate it, and nothing about this scenario is romantic. That poor girl is trapped in an engagement she desperately wants to escape and absolutely no one cares, and that NPC-looking prince goes full-on yandere on her while but its treated like normal romance-antics. I will continue hate-watching, though.

Seconding 91 Days!

So happy that Yakuza Fiancé is getting picked up 😄 I love how messy the main pairing and especially the male lead is

Definitely gonna keep watchin this, I like the dynamic between yoshino and kirishima. Yoshino especially is a breath of fresh air as a protag. I didn’t expect her to actually

Favourite of the season: Oshi no Ko without competition, the animation quality and story were both amazing! There were some scenes that go so hard that I’m sure they’re still going to be talked about for years.

Biggest disappointment: Tower of God S2. I really looked forward to this, but the story didn’t pick up until the final two episodes of the first cour :/ The animation quality was also pretty mid. I’m still looking forward to the second half though…

Kinda meh: Elusive Samurai. At first, I got pulled in by the fantastic animation and interesting premise, but the follow-up didn’t really live up to the initial hype. It’s still entertaining to watch though, even if I think the way the protag is portrayed and treated by the cast is kinda…sus, sometimes

100% gonna watch:

• The new Blue Lock season, still gotta watch episode Nagi though
• Dandadan
• Orb: On the Movements of the Earth
• Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc.

Gonna give it a try for a few episodes:

• Uzumaki
• Trillion Game
• I’ll Become a Villainess Who Goes Down in History
• Yakuza Fiancé

I don’t know about Re:zero to be honest, I was kind of disappointed with where the plot was going in the second season, and it feels like the stakes aren’t really that high anymore :/

I need the next episode right now aaaaah

Loved this episode! It was so heartwarming to see how the conflict between abiko and GOA was resolved, but then they dumped us right into ice water with aquas ptsd induced panic attack :,)
