anime

Is it everything we hoped it would be?

Im waiting for the bluray version

Not out

only spice and wolf has aired for me

this show is bad, haven' heard about a demon lord (yet) though

if there appears a demon lord I expect you to drop it and leave a bad review

the animation is awful and the writing isn't much better

every couple perspective shifts they decide to make a character tilt their head so the entire show isn't just mouth flaps

thats just japanese autism

that aren't synced to the talking

all character must do something

its like when characters have to do the weird HUH sound whenever something happens

oh

that's worse than I was expecting

kami wa game is funny bad, this is just boring

getting worse than a 6 on MAL is impressive

There are good shows with low 6s, below 6 is almost always a bad show

I liked the one incest show that has a sub 6 though

its a power fantasy reincarnation story that still doesn't even have a plot established by the end of the first episode

yeah, they even aired Dekisoko early and did this big promotion for it

which was weird

because it is both generic and terrible

https://myanimelist.net/anime/51859/Touken_Ranbu_Kai__Kyoden_Moyuru_Honnouji was the only new show that aired today

not translated, and not the kind of think anyone will care about

I only watched dekisoko because there is pretty much nothing for another two days

The only deviation from expected so far was Re:Monster

which was way worse than people thought it'd be

I thought Kami wa Game would be slightly more competent

oh right

I've already blocked that one from my mind

after the serious explanation of how an icebreaker card game was going to save the world

by asking the Avatar her blood type in the correct way

"I already know your name so I deliberately avoided picking those cards." "You're a genius!"

all while playing this thing where the players can clearly read the backs of the cards

tomorrow is a bartender show that I don't understand the audience for

stuff actually airs on thursday

did you ever watch the original Bartender?

no

My expectation is that the slow burn comfy atmosphere will not work as well in a modern format

Not counting metalic rogue ending, my next show is slime on friday

there's a reverse isekai on thursday that might be passible

here's a show for @Dane

no you should free the slave

elves belong in chains

6 hours remain

does this coincide with the CR price hike?

I think it's going to $100/year, but not till the end of the year??

idk, since it doesn't effect me I haven't really been tracking how much they're fucking over normies

yeah, $100-$150/year depenidng on your plan starts in Jan 2025

I think that's more than double what it was before

wasn't it $39.99/year?

~$55 per year yea

I remember it being around 2x a hike

Actually hilarious

I mean, I feel the same way about Netflix

I couldn't conceive of paying more than $100/year for a TV channel

Will make watching with friends a bit more annoying, but oh well.

CR doesn't have a in-built watchtogether thing do they?

that might accidentally add too much value

CR's site, player, apps, etc. were always barely functional from what I remember and how people talk about it

Not sure, I share an account and then watch with multiple people in person. I think almost every service has a CR app aswell

oh, in-person

icic

I thought you meant they had a watch party feature thing

or there was some 3rd party app that did watch-togethers

Yes, the rare occasion of leaving my home. The only watch together feature I've seen is, I think Amazon

Of course not Spooky, that would imply they put any more than the bare minimum into their product

CR does not do that

that's what I assumed Pika, just had to be sure

CR always seemed more interested in using their money on things besides their product

like HGS

High Guardian Spice beat me to it Leg

Beat me to it

For what it is worth, I did enjoy us watching HGS

we watched all of it if you count skpping from episode 2 to the last episode all of it

we made it through 4 whole episodes

HGS was not the worst thing we have ever watched
