It’s only been what? 2000 years? Let them cook.

I hope this will be as absurdly over the top as Maid Wars.

Good first episode. You can definitely see Akatsuki’s brand of emotional manipulation at work, but just like in VE it works instead of pissing me off.

Looking forward to the rest of the show.

Exceptional show. Definitely one of those very rare examples of a show that will stay with me and that I will think about in random moments for years to come.

and the character interactions were unlike any others I’ve seen in anime

Check out a show called The Great Passage (Fune wo Amu). No teenage angst in this, but it has similar vibes.

ps: happy cake day.

When Fern told Stark that Frieren is to her what Himmel is to Frieren it was such a beautiful moment.

This was to me what Polar Opposites was to the mainline.

What’s with this threat that it brings all the trolls out of the woodwork?

I have to admit that I have no idea why this is going around as news right now. I’ve seen a trailer for this over half a year ago. Maybe I’m missing something.

I was expecting someone from her past to show up or recognize her since the Instagram episode. I honestly was 100% sure that this was where they would be going with that whole social media plot line.

That powerpoint adaptation did the series dirty. I think I’m actually looking less forward to the next LN volume after this anime. I really don’t think this adaptation had any redeeming qualities, and I think the series (or IP) would have been better off without it.

There is a difference between something abstract like “I blow up the city” compared to “here are your parents. You’re gonna watch while I kill them”. The “I blow up the city” scenario is so huge that it’s harder to wrap a mind around, while the up close and personal “I’ll kill your parents” is immediately tangible, even though the parents are dead either way.

Btw. this is a tangent, but I also believe that this is true for the “other side”. Must be infinitely easier to press a button and nuke a city, then to look someone in the eye and drive a dagger into their body.

Key visual (for those who still believe in such things)

Holy shit. I only just now got it. You really were saying that my intentionally exaggerated post about inocculating kids with a dose of death and suffering should not have been sarcastic.

I have to admit, you pushed me to a point where I am not sure how to answer. That’s a new one for me, so I’m going to revel in that sensation for a while.

almost-certainly being sarcastic

You think so?

If OP is trying to raise one of the 53% of White Women who voted for Trump, they can’t go wrong with your voluminous advice.

Okay, I’ll bite ;) Please go on and elaborate.

You’re correct. Show those little parasites that little girls aren’t exempt from slowly dying of malnutrition after losing their parents in a fire bombing. It’s important to inoculate kids early with a good dose of reality before they start to think that they’re allowed to enjoy their childhood.

In an age when spies act behind the scenes in every land, Chloe spends her days successfully carrying out even the most difficult missions due to her unparalleled disguise skills and martial arts abilities. After the betrayal of her boss, she suddenly disappears—as Chloe plans to redo her life as the ordinary citizen Victoria in the neighboring kingdom of Ashberry, striving for a “normal” life. However, Victoria’s peaceful life is abruptly cut short as she begins to get involved with many people. In this new land, her experiences and abilities from her days as a spy come in far more useful than she ever expected! On the other hand, the second prince–and others–take an interest in Victoria’s strength, and the shadows close in on the woman with many faces…!

The anime will star:

Chika Anzai as Victoria Shion Wakayama as Nonna Yōhei Azakami as Jeffrey Nobukage Kimura (Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26, episode director for tsuritama, Kakuriyo -Bed & Breakfast for Spirits-) is directing the >anime at Studio DEEN. Naohiro Fukushima (I’ve Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level 2, #COMPASS2.0 >ANIMATION PROJECT) is overseeing the series scripts, and Mina Ōsawa (Given anime franchise) is designing the characters for >animation. Frontier Works is credited for the original work planning.

The anime will premiere in July on TV Tokyo and its affiliates.

It’s a 6-year-old kid for God’s sake.

Apothecary Diaries -> solving murders is the main theme. Plus prostitution, harems, blackmail, slavery, etc…

Frieren -> slow burn for adults that understand the concept of missed time and looking back. Not to speak about all the atocities done by the demons

The Way of The Househusband -> haven’t seen it but a Yakuza themed show …

Delicious In Dungeon -> sister dies gruesomely and gets turned from a bloody flesh mob into a monster that hunts her own brother and friends.

Sakamoto Days -> I think this one was assassin themed? Not sure.

Romantic Killer -> another assassin-themed show IIRC

Violet Evergarden -> lots and lots of very dark themes, including the war orphan origin of MC.

'Tis Time For Torture, Princess -> nothing wrong with this one, but I don’t know how entertaining it would be without knowing what it parodies (torture)

Solo Camping for Two -> adult drama/romance? Why not suggest Yuru Camp instead?

Sugar Apple Fairy Tale -> okay now I know that you are trolling.

Usagi Drop -> aimed at adults. Utterly boring for kids.

Secrets of the Silent Witch -> sure OPs daughter will enjoy MC losing her father due to being burned alive and all the assassination attempts.

With You and the Rain -> another show aimed at adults. The only thing that a 6-year-old would find interesting is that the “dog” is cute.

The Devil is a Part-Timer -> is it really funny to someone who hasn’t worked a day in their lives? Plus, again, the theme of dying parents in FMC.
