Unfortunately. But I feel like even if you gave everyone a good pay the gap would still remain.

Considering how much work needs to be done to produce even a mid anime the difference is staggering.

Hollywood executives are probably thinking like this: “I heard this whole anime thing is getting popular no? Those are just cartoons but Chinese right? Huh, Japanese? Whatever let’s just give them a few millions from our 10 billion dollars budget and we can milk our done to death stories even more!”

Honestly that is something I kinda fear. If Hollywood buys out much of the anime industry they could dictate what’s being produced. And I assure you that anything original is going to be rejected because it’s too “risky” and “it doesn’t make sense from a business perspective”.
Maybe it’s ridiculous but that’s just a fear I have.

I think that this season could’ve ended with episode 11. It would be a good climax. This episode adds more unanswered questions and it really wants to make hype for season 2… Except nothing has been announced so far.

Overall it was an ok show with an ok story and ok animation. Nothing exceptional but ok. Though ed was really good.

Anyway I’m looking forward to season 2.

The most wholesome shows would probably be:

• Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san
• Kubo-san wa Mob wo Yurusanai
• Soredemo Ayumu wa Yosetekuru

But if you don’t mind just a little bit of drama or tears definitely I recommend those:

• Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu
• Golden Time
• Nisekoi
• Fuufu Ijou, Koibito Miman
• Plastic Memories

Golden Time is a fcking gold! There was a little bit of drama but overall I’d say it was quite wholesome.

Especially this type of anime. But we were “promised” an oni vs wolf fight and we’re going to get one! Just without Nico as support. But maybe she’ll find a way?

Dude WTF is this cliffhanger! But at least judging from the sound they managed to block that attack.

Kobato and Osanai getting emotional was so sweet. Caring about each other might be the most ordinary thing they did together so far.

I absolutely love the mystery in this series. It’s always presented in a way that is not overwhelming and gives you just enough information to try to solve it by yourself. Every clue falling into one coherent story. It’s just a masterpiece.

Yeah, for me she seemed suspicious because she was the only person in the hospital that seemed to dislike the job.
This obviously is no proof or anything but still. I thought Kobato falling asleep was strange but I didn’t expect to really be her.

Wow I didn’t expect this episode to be so serious! It was still great though.

Oh definitely I can see that little gremlin doing just that!

You’re right! I didn’t even notice him! That’s going to be the best season for sure!

I hate the fact that this shitshow has such good character designs.

Yes, it ended in 2016.

Absolute Cinema

Indeed!

But it would have to be 10x faster.

I think this is currently my favorite show this season. Emotional scenes are great and comedy also hits the spot.

After hearing the reason behind the torn letter I just thought I’d be more than happy to help restore it even without any magic. Such a short and simple yet touching story.

The textbook guy is such a funny reminder to never learn any language from just textbooks. The language there is often very unnatural and most likely never used in real life. For anyone thinking that apps like Duolingo are better, nah. Those won’t even let you express things in a different way even if it’s correct.

Nico gets more romance and we can enjoy her yukata look? Is this some extremely early Christmas present?!

I love how they flip between the present and the past. When they work together they are even more incredible.
No wonder Osanai wants to meet.

Well definitely looking forward to the next episode!
