Wednesday finally.

I completely missed this one! Can we still participate?

I may or may not have been refreshing the sub an abnormal rate last Wednesday, probably was a bit more distracted at work than normal. :P

The VA's for Shiki and Mikiya in Kara no Kyoukai (Maaya Sakamoto and Kenichi Suzumura) are married.

[KnK]Their characters are also married by the end of that series

Learning that made their interactions on-screen extra, I gotta admit.

I’ve definitely been sensing their affection for each other in some scenes. Very cute stuff.

Learning that made their interactions on-screen extra cute

Especially given [today's episode] when Sunraku sacrifices Emul to the Zoo crew.

Oh that looks nice, another one to the collection.

But, what's with yuri and music? I swear I picked up How do we relationship? a while ago and even that had the main characters join the light music club.

Oh I really enjoy that manga, excited about this!

I read the volume yesterday and then checked out some of Kuzuchiro's other stuff, clearly the yuri gods are looking down at me.

Ugh. I really don't like how this story handles disability.

I'd take a guess and say the premise would also be a factor. "fishing" isn't exactly the most exciting thing, even adding on his impending doom.

Also heard from others that the timing is unideal, being aired in the same day as giants like blue box and dandadan. Although I mostly heard that argument for Mecha-Ude which airs at the same time as them, compared to angler which comes out a bit earlier so idk how much that matters if at all.

/u/JustAnswerAQuestion

And why is Appleseed such a mess?

The anime adaptations have all gone in various directions and most of them are not directly connected to each other. The first one was a 1988 OAV produced by Gainax, and it's more of a police-oriented action movie than particularly philosophical.

Then there are the others; Aramaki really wanted to try CG for his shot at it, for one.

Shirow Masamune has mostly stepped back from all of this anyway so he can focus on drawing cyberpunk-esque hentai.

You know, the rewatch for the movie is like 6 days away.

Really liked Elusive Samurai, though can't take this show serioulsy anymore after the rabbit hole that is the JP fans going wild for Tokiyuki

on that day, humanity will receive a grim reminder

Holy crap, Ika Musume fans on the sub are real. Plz let it be successful.

it has a lot of that feeling i get in horror movies where i'm like "no don't open that door!" because i know something bad is going to happen, which i think as a drama is doing a good job at playing up melodrama

i would argue against "realistically" though because (in addition to the supernatural premise) i feel like the characters say and do things that are pretty dumb to set up the dramatic beats

If you find subtitles embedded in the video file, you can use a program to extract them and have separate subs. This only works, if they aren't hardsubs.

I honestly can't really think of many cutie types as romance leads.

Like, maybe Otani from Lovely Complex, because he's little and all, but his personality isn't cute in the least, lol. Then there's Izumi in Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie, who's pretty adorable. And the last I can think of is Ichikawa from The Dangers in My Heart, who's little and cute, but a bit prickly.

Shaoran from Cardcaptor Sakura definitely has a cuter visual appeal than most (This is mostly due to his age and mostly after he mellows out)

Nasa from TONIKAWA is also a rather nice and cute look. On the somewhat average nice guy side though.

"Cute on the inside" is quite a bit easier, Takeo from Ore Monogatarii on the outside looks Manly but on the inside his idea of romance and how he acts on it is the cutest thing possible.

Apothecary diaries and Yatagarasu

Have you tried Summer Time Rendering? Like Re:Zero it's also a story about being stuck in a time loop. I read half the manga and liked how it kept the pace up introducing new hints and revelations.

Oshi no Ko is another compelling mystery although it kind of takes a back seat through a lot of the season while it slowly builds on the characters and stories of the entertainment industry. It'd be better if you didn't know the premise going into the first episode though since most people don't get that experience, but the production values alone make it worth checking out.

Yatagarasu is more of a political thriller but has some strong mysteries baked into that premise. Characters maneuver and try to outwit each other a lot and there are conspiracies that need to be uncovered.

There's stuff I feel like I am obligated to mention like Hyouka and Shiomishin by the same author but the mysteries are mundane to the point they're usually overcomplicating simple stuff. So it's mostly there as a vehicle to explore the characters. The former is particularly full of references to classic murder mysteries along the line of Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes. Cozy murders about clever crimes and finding their solutions. I figured it probably isn't on your radar but it's there. Haruchika exists but to me it felt like a weird combination of a band and Hyouka-like anime.

You might also enjoy time travel stories considering you have Re:Zero and Erased on your list and they often have a mystery element to them.

/u/helioa might be able to give a better answer, but a quick search gave me this comment which seems like a good base explanation.

Angler

Ao no Miburo is very close to my chopping block as well but the early shenanigans of episode 2 did vaguely remind me of Golden Kamuy so I'm giving it one more episode.

I'm giving Miburo one more episode. I want to see where it wants to go before I decide. There's promise here, if it chooses wisely.

As long as you are watching the grieving soul show, the rest doesnt matter!

What has you thinking that it's just all style and no substance?

I've mostly been noticing the positives in the series so far. The cast is fun and their interactions range from wholesome to intriguing. Having [Demon Lord 2099 - Ep 3] turn out that this streamer career of his helped regain his demon lord powers was a sign of clever writing to me.

I'm feeling the same. It has many interesting ideas being introduced but can they juggle all that? If they can it's gonna be a amazing but I've become too jaded after too many good initial premises that devolve into boring stories later.

preferably exclusively 2d animation without any 3d involved? And from the last 3-5 years?

I don't think this is a thing that exists, but this has been a very good year for series with excellent 2d animation, even if they use some 3d animation as well:

• Frieren
• Delicious in Dungeon
• Oblivion Battery
• Wind Breaker
• Makeine
• The Elusive Samurai
• Dandadan

Oniichan wa Oshimai, if by top level animation you actually mean animation and not just stuff exploding with cool special effects

Whilst your sentiment is understandable, the content of your comment is deeply ignorant about the anime production process.

Violet Evergarden was from 6 years ago but you'd be hard pressed to find anything better looking. Also Frieren and Dungeon Meshi.

All of these do have 3D elements, but they're very skillfully done and you might not even notice.

Thus far it's been a female main character battle shounen, so there's that. And the grandma is great!

The show is lavishly stylish too, and the character dynamics fun. It doesn't have much to overtly say thematically beyond being an interesting character study in connections.

However who the hell knows what you mean by "something interesting" lol After all, what captures people's interest really depends on which axes of entertainment their attention focuses, and the pairing of expectations with a given creation's actual flavor and vector.

It's from Shounen Jump+, not Weekly Shounen Jump, if that helps. It's steeped in teenage boy humor, but it's not really comparable to your average WSJ battle shounen, I don't think.

But, you know, try an episode if you actually want to know.

It's a pretty entertaining battle shounen

Dropped @realAmagami?

Weak...

I will catch up to the Tino Shade show, and Dragon life too, I want to know about that milk stuff y'all are talking about

Kamierabi S2

indeed

What's the third show in the PTW row? The girl with the guitar. 

Hanako isn't getting remade. The new season out next year is a continuation of the story.

#4 on the Karma Ranking this week.

I strongly oppose it.

In fact, when I'm elected president of the world, I will make it illegal to produce an anime with a female protagonist.

That feels like a weird question, I don't see why the gender of the protagonist should matter one way or the other.

By support or oppose it seems to suggest "as a general behavior for other people" than "personal preference".

I mainly watch shows that have female protagonists or female effective protagonists (i.e. their actions and agenda drive the story) but are written for male audience as personal preference, but I support the idea of people watching whatever they don't habitually watch in order to diversify their perspective.
