Second episode of Hungry Princess was a lot better than the first, especially since they added more variety to the gags used. New characters seem pretty fun too, so I'm hoping the series remains more like this from here on rather than solely being about food. >>813 Glad to hear you liked it! It's definitely one of my favorites this season so I'm hoping it keeps its momentum. Saijaku Tamer was fairly slow and not a whole lot happened... which isn't necessarily a bad thing, since it does seem like the first episode was primarily setup for future episodes, but I hope it doesn't remain this way. I'm really liking Level 99 & Loop 7, probably since I have a weak spot for shows like these (Bakarina, Tearmoon, Last Boss... starting to see a pattern here). Loop 7 especially seems like it'll be a pretty comfy watch, though the cover makes it seem like it'll be a reverse harem sort of show so curious to see how that ends up.

i've been kind of depressed recently, so i haven't really been in the mood to watch much anime at all... that said, i did get eventually force myself to watch the two shows i had planned for this season. so far... >Mahoako >>750 >here's hoping it's not super toned-down or anything. wow did i get blown the fuck out here, it's gone well above and beyond my expectations. now i'm super excited for alice, my favorite character, to show up. >Metallic Rouge this one also exceeded my expectations, i'm enjoying it way more than i thought i would, i'm not usually into cyberpunk stories. maybe the robot autist is carrying the anime for me. rouge is very cute. i'll be very surprised if Metallic Rouge doesn't become as popular as something like LycoReco at least, it feels like an anime that's made from the ground-up to appeal to people who don't like anime (episodic structure, heavy western/noir influence, futuristic setting, people keep comparing it to blade runner)

>>820 >mahoako I love it and I love her. don't know what this other one is. gonna start it!

>>820 >i'm enjoying it way more than i thought i would, i'm not usually into cyberpunk stories well now that i've dropped the show, this is kind of awkward. it's awkwardly paced, none of the characters (except rouge) are interesting to me, and it's very westaboo (not in a good way, though i'd argue there's no such thing as a "good" westaboo anime mahoako continues to deliver, though. my daughterwife was introduced and they did her justice. i really wish she wasn't aged up as often during some scenes, but seeing how she's treated in the manga, beggars can't be choosers, i guess.

As we have reached the middle of the season, it would perhaps be interesting to say my thoughts on what I'm watching. The two second cour shows have been fantastic. Well, I already liked their manga versions, but Frieren and Kusuriya no Hitorigoto have been really nice with no major complaints. MahoAko is really good. It doesn't bother me nearly as much as I thought it would, and I still love the premise and the characters. Dungeon Meshi has been nice. The characters are cute, and the episodes are great. Sasaki to P-chan is nice too. I really like how it has several different plotlines happening at the same time that aren't really forced to converge. Saijaku Tamer... well, I already liked the manga adaptation, so it was a given that I'd like the anime. Some of the changes compared to what I had read worried me a bit, but the last episode was really good. It's one episode behind the other shows so the comparison is not really fair. Pon no Michi is great, despite barely having any mahjong in it. I love that genre, and it's honestly the one of the few anime this season with more than one character I really loved. Loop 7 Villainess is really good... I'm glad I kept watching it. Thought I'd hate the tenka's but both brothers really grew on me, and the main character is simply sensational. Mofumofu nadenade Isekai is the only one that's up to episode 7 already. It's good, and as it stays honest to its premise (and its nicely expansive notion of animal) it's a good watch. Level 99 Villainess has one of my favorite characters this season, the Dorkness. She's great, but the rest of the show isn't bad either. The ugly 3D is a shame. Himesama Torture has consistently surprised me with how they manage to not feel repetitive. It's good; not the strongest this season, but I see no reason to drop it. Still in doubt if it's possible to get to the end of the season without getting boring, but so far so good.

>>18 if you're into cute stuff, i'd suggest Prima Doll ^_^

>>194 Mah man

>>18 hentai ouji to warawanai neko and chyuunibyou go good watching back to back together. they have peak moepoint if you're totally in it for the cuteness aspect.

>>18 I just finished Onimai recently. It was really fun and so well-animated. I hope there's a second season Speaking about second season, I'm hyped about the Urusei Yatsura new episodes that start airing tomorrow

mahoako is good so far.

>>754 >be me >have imaginary little sister >take her on a date in orenimo train >imagine her tightly holding my hands as she is afraid of the train falling >imagine patting her head and comforting her >smile while imagining >spend life imagining about little sister >little sister is happiness >little sister is everything

>>825 Wholesome non-sexual post? Mostly? As long as you don't read between the lines? Interesting

>>754 buttplay.

>>836 You should elaborate

>>833 Dont read between the line. There's nothing except the sibling love between a brother and his sister.

>>652 I'm probably around your level as well. I don't have any manga with furigana which is a mistake on my part, I ended up getting rozen maiden, however it's actually pretty easy to read despite not having furigana. so perhaps you can get some manga with furigana and try rozen maiden. whatever you can't read you just look up on jisho and learn it from there. a good balance might be getting some manga without furigana and putting in the extra work when you feel like it. it's done a lot for me.

>>652 you probably already read Yotsuba&! so nevermind

i see this anon >>81 recommends childrens books to learn vocabulary. honestly sounds like a great idea and i will try this. is there a good source to find these in pdf/epub/other ebook form?

>>841 the children's books approach never really works. because unless you're a child then it's not going to match to your actual pace of learning. you won't really learn anything. I experienced that myself and read somewhere just as much that, that was the problem. generally you're going to want something simpler but you don't want to go at THAT pace of slowness. you'll not have any fun, not learn anything and think it's your fault. middle school level with furigana is always the place to start yourself with any reading in most languages. but I'd say just go for all the german fairy tale ones you can think of and search for the simplest Japanese counter-parts you can find for them if you're really looking for that stuff. and look through other stuff that author has worked on.

>>842 i see. i will keep that in mind. i wouldn't say they aren't useful since i genuinely have learned from them but i do get what you mean. there's only so much you can learn from them as they're meant for children who don't fully understand the simple concepts in the book instead of grown adults just trying to translate concepts they already understand. i will take your advice into account. thanks anon!

>>350 I like the chorus of lost my pieces. it sounds well .. heavenly. same for can you hear me and the chorus sounds catchy. unlimited is good too, very catchy. I already know about' hey my friend' I like it I'll add these new songs into my playlist of best tommy'songs!

i was looking for a specific heavenly6 song and found this video and realized that girls are really hot when they're pale https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8e4BUJ8Qb8&list=PLyiN78LOAv51VmvFQDOO-sIkmXDa12vfB&index=3

anyone into february6 who want to talk about it?

huh, i like sugar me way more than i thought i would lol https://youtu.be/U1WqBVMHHDU?feature=shared

>>735 glad to know there's more tommy february enjoyer!

>>658 I wouldn't say it's only 4chan. It has been a big hit elsewhere too, it's getting lots of fanart on Pixiv for example. The manga is relatively successful; that's how I got into it. The threads for the manga were already relatively popular on 4chan, although I don't go a lot in /a/ so I can't say for sure. I honestly expected it to be successful, it's good. The pacing is nice, the anime improves the fights and follows to the letter what was already a good manga.

>>659 My friend has been recommending this a lot to me recently, I might actually watch it

>>659 Somehow got #1 on MAL too..

>>718 And that's not even thanks to users purposeley boosting the number through multiple accounts like we've had in the past with (IIRC) AOT season 3. People just legitmatley love this and the only real complaints I've seen from people disliking it are either them not understanding the character and the message of the series and as a result finding her to be bland, while some are just hating on it because it's popular. I have a bad habbit of hyperfixating on 2000's anime and ignoring the new stuff but even I can say it's one of the best thats come out in years and will surely be looked back on as a classic if the rest of the series stays as consistently good as it has been so far.

>>632 is he pissing himself as consistently as in the manga?

>>690 >how did they get away with it in 2005? If you're talking about the anime specifically, it released in 2006 Also, sexual stuff like this have been around long before this series

>>685 I liked it when they were in bunny outfits

>>685 I can't feel bad for Mikuru. She's so introverted it hurts. Just speak up and stop whining

>>676 Disappearance Of Haruhi Suzumiya is one of the best movies I have watched. Also, Yuki is love.

>>722 I wish I could find a girl like Yuki...

>>711 oh ok

>>27 Started watching Fist of the North Star because I've never seen it before and it's a classic so I figured I should.

>>27 i read the light novel for Welcome to the NHK on a whim and really enjoyed it. i always avoided it for the longest, because the only thing i ever heard about it was that it was..."a deconstruction/critique of otaku culture with an unlikable protagonist", and i've always hated discussion like that. it will never not bother me how japanese media consistently attracts people who don't like it here in the states. so i always try to avoid anime like that. but NHK i ended up really resonating with. i think some people do the story a disservice when they only discuss the one aspect of the story. i really resonated with the characters, Yamazaki especially. that said, i feel like the ending was a bit contrived. it could just be me projecting my own bitterness onto the story, but i feel like everyone suddenly getting a happy ending was kind of unrealistic. i'm downloading the anime right now, i've only ever seen people recommend the anime and not the book, i know there are a couple of differences between the two. the download is taking forever

I finished watching all the episodes of DIY!! (the anime) it was okay but I wish we had more things builed

>>731 I've read the manga and the LN + the remake (named rebuild of NHK) that is only 33 pages I think; and watched the anime. there all different on some points and sometimes they're the same on some points. I can't say wihch one I liked the most and which one I hated the most because they're all different in their own. so I liled them all . you should also go for all the NHK piece of wroks, you'll like it for sure
