Sadly I ended up giving up on this close to the end, on chapter 58. I was watching it out of pure attrition, I was honestly bored out of my mind.
Yeah I don't get the praise it gets. I didn't make it nearly as far as you. Bored to tears. It was an animated crime drama that didn't really use any of the benefits of being animation. I'd rather watch a law and order rerun.
 
Konosuba OVA 2



why the fuck is Konosuba so good?

That's what I am trying to understand.

Also I am starting to like Aqua even though she's useless lol.

Konosuba Episode 7

Kazuma died again by a shogun this time.

At least he knows one goddess that mourned his death and appreciates him.

Konosuba Episode 9

Okay I busted out laughing during the first scene when Kazuma showed pity to Aqua on her lack of intelligence.

Lol about releasing stress through dreams. Was a rough encounter with Darkness.

I think that's the main reason it gets praise - it's anime for people who don't like anime.

No moe, no spaceships, no lewd, no mechas, no swords, no powers. Fake anime.



But as I said in my recommendation thread, I have read it but haven't watched the anime. It's pretty long, right?
/Check MAL
74 episodes??? I thought it was 50-55! That had to be a constant slow pace, the manga wasn't that long, even with all the detours.
 
The twitch stream reminded me, we haven't heard anything about a Mob Psycho 100 sequel anime have we?

I wonder if the first season was successful for Bones. Granted, the first season stopped at a pretty solid point.

I really hope we get a second season, since the material it would cover is excellent

We have not heard anything. Yuzuru Tachikawa is preparing an original anime project at the moment, so any second Mob season would likely need to wait until after that comes out.
 
Watching anime on Twitch sounds like the absolute worst way to experience anything besides shows like Geass

I think it might be pretty bad if you never seen the show before and are trying to really get into the story, but It's pretty enjoyable seeing how chat responds. Like every time mob is down on himself that he can't have proper feelings, everyone in chat says he's just like them lol.

I think crunchyroll really missed an opportunity with not putting Squid Girl on the marathon though. Would have been perfect with twitch's squid emote.

Patlabor OVAS - finished - Had a decent start but didn't really go anywhere for me. The episodic nature of it just didn't satisfy my interests. And I didn't care much for the group as characters.

Patlabor Movie 1 - A step up from the OVAs, I think. Just spending more time on one thing was a positive. But I kinda wish it were more...

Patlabor Movie 2 - Like this! This was really good and had more of the sort of paranoia and seriousness I wanted. Felt like it could be part of Oshii's Ghost in the Shell world.

Children Who Chase Lost Voices - This was the last Shinkai work I had on my list to watch and I think it's my favorite. In general I don't enjoy his movies very much, or find them all that emotionally resonant. I got a lot more into this one though. It was enjoyably magical.

Kill Me Baby - Finished - It was like 13 nearly identical episodes. The endless 13. I quite enjoyed the characters and the goofs, but they felt underutilized. Like it was just repeating jokes instead of properly iterating on them. It never fully leaned into any of the setups like how say Gintama does, where each presentation is funnier than the last.

Konbini Kareshi ep.4
There is something incredibly charming about this boring show. I love how they are slowely developing the relationships, very similar to Tsuki ga Kirei. It's a very "peaceful" show...

This show speaks to me.

I'm enjoying this a lot more than I thought I would. The gaming references and dialogue are lighthearted and not overly intrusive, and the romcom is legitimately funny despite being a very cliched scenario based around misunderstandings. Or maybe it's just because it's the first generic romcom I've seen in a while, so the formula hasn't gone stale yet. Tendou getting blown up every appearance is hilarious, too.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
Mob Psycho 100 is the best thing to air in the last few years so that makes sense.

I'm pretty sure Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works has that honor.
 
Restaurant to Another World is a good example of a show that while not exactly bad, doesn't really do anything to entice the viewer much.

Perhaps the biggest flaw with it is how just drab the whole show looks. The character designs are nice, but other than that, it's a very flat looking show.
 
Konosuba Episode 10

How many lives did this Boss have? Also the creator is a dumbass.

Kazuma is still screwed in the end. Saving a town means nothing lol.

Tsurezure Children: 3

Chiaki and Kana one of the favorites so their part was good. Usually zone out during chapters that include Katori and Yamane though, them being animated hasn't changed that at all.

Like holy duck is Haikyu ever amazing. It's got hype, comedy, heart, and so much damn character. Dare I even say this is my favourite shonen series of all time. All the ups and downs, the incredible highs of beating Seijou in the practice match and beating Dateko to the heartbreaking loss to Seijou at the inter-highs. It's just… so beautiful.

For me personally it doesn't help that I've been rewatching Koufuku Graffiti lately, since as far as food porn goes that show destroys this one...and most others

Classroom of the Edglite 3

This is sooooooooooooo edgy. The nice girl
turned to be some kind of super bitch who hates the quiet girl. The main character managed to buy a test score point to save basketball bro from failure. SO dumb.

I love it.

I continue to be surprised that the whole currency setup has not led to students being bullied for their currency.

Worth it for the tendou reactions alone.
