Re: What are you watching/reading 2024?
Finished Apothecary Diaries This was a most excellent adaptation of the manga. Can't wait for season 2! The last episode of Tomozaki was great; I do wish the whole S2 were done as well as that. They also made an 12 chapter alternate universe version called Minami Nanami Wants to Shine. It's not as g...

Re: What are you watching/reading 2024?
365 Days to the Wedding is getting an anime; I remember vaugely reading some of it a couple of years ago. Still, it left a favorable impression on me, so I'm going to give the anime a shot when it debuts later this year.

Re: What are you watching/reading 2024?
Wrapping up a couple of anime.... Not denying Freiren is an excellent anime, but it's not an all-timer for me. Quality-wise, it reminds me of Made in Abyss. For me to give it a 10, a show has to have me really emotionally engaged, and Freiren didn't do it strong enough. A Sign of Affection was OK, t...

Re: What are you watching/reading 2024?
I don't think the endgame is the level of smoochiness between the main couple, it's getting Tsukasa to be mortal again. Now getting to that point is like watching Africa and South America drift apart, but it has mostly been a fun ride so far, IMO.

Re: What are you watching/reading 2024?
Just came across another 16 chapters of High Score Girl Dash. I always thought Koharu Hidaka got the short end of the stick in the original; here, she gets a lot more character development, which just wants me to empathize with her even more. The last arc that I finished(which took me to #38) remind...

Going from reading the Bottom Tier Character Tomozaki LN to the anime is like going from grandma's chicken n' dumplings to chicken flavored cup ramen.

Re: What are you watching/reading 2024?
The thing about the girls in Atelier, and Coco in particular, is they seem to have powered up instantly to the point they are doing most of the heavy lifting in resolving the conflict against the"forbidden" magic users, until the adults bend the rules a bit to fit their narrative to finish things. N...

Was noodling around MAL earlier, and came across a short but really good manga: Kamisama ga Uso wo Tsuku or The Gods Lie. The feels are heavy with this one......

Re: What are you watching/reading 2024?
I was very surprised Honey Lemon Soda got an anime; it must be pretty popular in Japan, because in the West, it seems pretty obscure.

Re: What are you watching/reading 2024?
I can see why Tongari Boushi no Atelier is highly rated;the art is extremely good, with expressive faces on the characters. The worldbuilding is expansive and thorough, and the characters are fleshed out well. However, something about it feels off, and I can't place it. There is some plot armor, but...

Re: What are you watching/reading 2024?
MAL has a "Must read manga list" promotion going; at first glance, I'm going to pick up two; one is Tongari Boushi no Atelier. I've heard multiple sources rave about it, and the premise sounds interesting, so I'm going to give it a go. However, I thought I had read at least a few chapters of Smoking...

Re: What are you watching/reading 2024?
Both genres are fantasy : That's kinda the whole point, don't you think? I believe shonen and shoujo are largely marketed to the intended demographic in a way where the buyers of the manga can self-insert themselves in the story a bit, since the MCs are relatable to a lot of the readers. I think Ri...

Re: What are you watching/reading 2024?
Now that I'm caught up on the current season(which is pretty weak, IMO), I started to catch up on some classics. First up was Golden Time. The premise was great, and I liked the characters(Nana the punk rocker was by far my fave), but there were a lot of scenes in this that left me scratching my hea...

Re: What are you watching/reading 2024?
Speaking of shonen, I dropped Undead Unluck. The current arc had potential, but the details of the plot just went off the rails in a big way, making it unwatchable.

Re: What are you watching/reading 2024?
Now that I think about it, the ML being a bit aggressive and the FL being innocent is a hallmark of shoujo, isn't it? A milquetoast ML is more of a shonen trope......

Re: What are you watching/reading 2024?
A Sign of Affection is a pretty nicely done shoujo anime. ML is a little too pushy and aggressive, FL is a bit one dimensional(which kinda makes sense given the circumstances), but they have good chemistry together, and the supporting cast isn't a bunch of tropes.
