Looks like Bodacious Space Pirates.
Fun fact - I visited Tokyo years ago when I had a friend living over there teaching English as part of the JET program. When I visited Ueno Park, there was a group of cosplayers in the park all in costumes from this show doing a photoshoot. I had no idea what show it was at the time, but figured it out years later when I came across a random image in a thread like this one and was able to piece it together.
I am pretty excited about this one. It is a community favorite over on !manga@ani.social and it is very funny.
Ubuntu already has some anime-ready mascots they could use from their official manga, Ubunchu!
The article refers to it as a short anime, which usually means episodes are only like 5 minutes long.
Careful what you say or Rentaro will make an app for you that spits out 100GF quotes!
This continues to be simultaneously one of the most baffling yet compelling things I have watched in some time. It was really interesting how they had the occasional focus of Ame playing a piano version of Internet Overdose sprinkled through the episode. Speaking of Internet Overdose, it seems like they just released an official Anime Version of the MV. Weirdly, it is a bit more coherent than the original that was released with the game.
This episode marks where a lot of people will evaluate whether to continue watching or not (three episode rule). I can’t really say where this is going to go, but it has my full attention.
I am a big fan of this manga and so far I am of two minds on this adaptation. First is that the humor is still there and still funny. In particular this episode gave us one of my favorite characters (Manda) and one of my favorite recurring gags (Dragon Kirio). However, the pacing feels really slow. I feel like the comedy would hit more if the episode was just sped up like 15% or something.
The Apothecary Diaries is going to be hard to beat for me. It feels like a Sherlock series with how it has both mysteries of the day, but then an overall mystery that everything feeds into. Really great hooks and payoffs throughout.
Weird, it works fine for me. If you pm me which one you want to vote for, I can make it happen.
Yeah, happy to do this and share some culture with the wider threadiverse. I think that the anime community is an example of a hobby/interest that has successfully taken root in the fediverse and am happy to share with the normies out there.
Just a reminder to vote for nominations to lemmyvision 3 over here (stickied to the community). In a couple days, I will make a final poll with the finalists. See the stickied post for more details and rules.

That was great!
Megane wo Hazushite - You and I Are Polar Opposites OP
Disqualified as it came out in 2026.
Forgot that Guild Receptionist was last year. Such a gorgeous OP.
This absolutely wins the thread for most delicious looking MV.
If it’s something like a video game, then probably not. If it is just promotional for the anime, then sure.
Disclaimer: I read the manga through this point but haven’t watched the show.
The answer is resoundingly no. There was a period where it really feels like it was building to a climax and would have made for a decent conclusion (I think it was season 3, the movie arc). However, they quickly undid all the progress and the lead couple became even more infuriating. I ended up dropping the series shortly after what is depicted in this fifth season.
The version of this with the most views is sitting at ~45M views. I think that this is about as popular as I will go before disqualifying things as contravening the “international hit” rule. FYI to future nominations.
Wait, so did episode 7 just air? If so, I will just make this be the thread for 6-7 and episode 8 should go like normal then.
