I mean, there’s people like me who can say “Yeah, I can appreciate the aesthetics of a well-drawn foot; that takes some skill to do” – and then there are the people who really, really like feet. :-)

So, I dug back into physical media a bit at the end of the year and managed to scrounge up some copies of older works that I either hadn’t seen or where my copy had issues (like parts of a few episodes skipping due to physical defects on the discs).

One of those I haven’t seen before is To-LOVE-Ru. I don’t know how the hell I never realized this – having seen it pop up in fanart and such for a decade or so… – but the name とらぶる is obviously a transliteration of “trouble” into Japanese. So far, the writing is wonderfully stupid; I’m not expecting much out of this in the story department, but a lighthearted distraction from our extremely depressing reality is not unwelcome right now… I’ve heard the show described as “thinly veiled hentai” before, but even with that description I was still a bit surprised they actually put unobscured female nipples in the first episode. This kind of episodic ecchi harem comedy isn’t something I find bingeable, so I’ll probably be chipping away at it episode by episode for a while when I’m in the right mood for it. Hopefully I get a few good reaction shots out of it.

For upcoming releases, I am planning to watch S2 of Frieren, but given that that’s the kind of thing I expect I’d rather want to binge, I will probably be waiting towards the end of the season to start it.

97 minutes

At that length, I think I’d call it a movie/film even if it’s part of a TV series’s progression.

If we’re including Japanese anime films in general, In This Corner of the World is supposedly the longest at 168 minutes for the extended version, followed by Final Yamato at 163 minutes, and then The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya at 162 minutes – according to this list on Wikipedia.

probably アレックス

Alex Louis Armstrong is アレックス・ルイ・アームストロング on the Japanese Wikipedia article about Full Metal Alchemist’s main characters; so, seems like that’s correct.

“FireFox enjoyer”, I think.

I wasn’t a huge fan of the story, but Garden of Words is worth watching just for the scenery art.

School Days😬🤮

It’s rare that a show makes me that mad, and the ending is unforgettable, but I’m pretty sure it’s not quite the same kind of emotional payoff that OP’s looking for… so, “Troll Answer”. ;-)

Most of the stuff that comes to mind is already on your list.

Maybe you’d like the movie, Colorful, or the series Your Lie in April?

This is a stretch, but maybe also consider Shin Sekai Yori? The particular things that’ll hit you there are, uh, a bit different though, if it works on you.

Troll Answer: School Days. 👹️

Should this be tagged nsfw?

By my own standards, no, but lemmy as a whole seems to be kind of prudish. Maybe a presenting foot pose is over the line for them?

FYI your post link goes to a different picture.

I think this link is what you meant to include in your post? Cheers.

Same – I’ve just been rummaging through danbooru’s tags and pools lately and stumbled into this and found it too amusing not to share.

…and here’s Another (by a different artist, yamashita bungo)

Not on my copy – I double checked before posting.

Could be there’s a different version of the DVDs with it though. 🤔️

Yeah. I expect it was probably some licensing bullshit like either they couldn’t get the rights again for the re-release or it cost to much to get them, but I don’t know why they did it specifically. It irked me when I realized they’d changed it though.

They changed the intro song when it was released on DVD. When the show was originally airing, the intro was “Girls on Film”　(グラビアの美少女) by Duran Duran; the version on my official (Funimation) DVD copy has “Shutter Speed” instead though which is much less memorable.

So… is this a metaphorical kind of eating, or are we getting a vore anime?

I remember seeing one of those hot springs depicted in Wolf’s Rain. Probably the imagery was inspired by the Grand Prismatic Spring at Yellowstone specifically – but I could be mistaken.

How the hell did you get from Umamusume to autoclaves? :p

Did you watch all of Endless 8? (Kyon-kun denwa!)

I can’t think of any other shows that deal with time travel off the top of my head, but if you want some more serious sci-fi flavored shows, maybe try Ghost in the Shell?
