The AI show that aired today is special, I'm 100% watching this
@Phijkchu_Pikachu I am formally recommending you watch Towa no Yuugure
knights and magic
I think https://atsu.moe/ is the one I liked
as a temp replacement

I think the season that just finished ended up being pretty good, I wish Takopii wasn't half-length and there were a couple other shows that had promise but didn't live up to it
I'm a little concerned how many studios seemed to have production issues or significantly degraded animation quality after a few episodes
anyway here's my final list of shows worth mentioning
5*
Clevatess
Takopii no Genzai
4*
Dainanaoji S2
Dandadan
Dr. Stone S4
Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu
Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku
Mizuzokusei no Mahoutsukai
Ruri no Houseki
Silent Witch - Chinmoku no Majo no Kakushigoto
Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru S2
Watashi ga Koibito ni Nareru Wake Nai jan, Muri Muri!
Yofukashi no Uta S2
3*
Ame to Kimi to
Fermat no Ryouri
Food Court de, Mata Ashita.
Isekai Mokushiroku Mynoghra
Jidou Hanbaiki ni Umarekawatta Ore wa Meikyuu wo Samayou S2
Kamitsubaki-shi Kensetsuchuu.
Koujo Denka no Kateikyoushi
Turkey!
City was my biggest disappointment, and either Water Mage or Turkey were my biggest surprises
Silent Witch could have been a 5 had it actually built towards anything
Dr. Stone has reached the Fairy Tail point where I can't tell how good/bad it actually is, but I'm very invested into it
the opposite of what happened with Slime Isekai
Replying to legorhin #jazardly there's still an episode
unless the last episode is crazy, I think it settled into a comfortable groove
Call of the Night and Dandadan are the most inconsistent good shows
where there will be these couple epsiodes stretches that suck
and then hit with a couple banger eps back-to-back
Takopii is my show of the season overall
My end of season ranking of the shows I watched (I still need to watch 4 episodes of nukitashi, and 6 of the cat show, but whatever)
Since Spooky posted his
what did the game centre show turn into?
or was it really 12 episodes of them at the arcade
More of the same, they spoke japanese more than episode 1
it was mostly that, they did go to the countryside for last episode and the final episode coming up
Dress up darling was way more zoomer in how the show presented itself this season, and I agree with spooky's take about call of the night having some less good episodes sandwiching episodes I really liked
Panty and stocking was surprisingly good, I expected it to be shit
I really like puniru, good slime show
Lowest scoring show I watched this season is shield hero, but that is funny bad
Vending machine was kind of a nothing show. It certainly was a sequel to vending machine
I like Dress Up Darling and the source, but the anime moves too slow
I liked season 1 more, but I did like season 2
of all the recent popular romcom shows, it also feels the least creative
That genre is kind of locked down with dangers for me, so everything has to be scaled against that as being my favourite romcom
it was not a series that needed 2 dozen recurring side characters, and for the main characters to learn the same lessons 10 times each
the socially dumb MCs doesn't work as well when it's a semi-realistic setup, versus a pure absurdist romcom
Yeah
are they going to create a subscription manga site?
I don't like their reader
honestly though, I would be more ok paying for a manga site
CR won't have enough series to warrant it, but it's at least more reasonable than paying them for streaming anime
there's a lot of things you can do with manga to be a value-add
yep, AoT leaks were absurd
fan scans for the top 25-50 series are near instant and I doubt CR will have any sort of quality there
but hey, they can prove me wrong and kill the fan scene for another medium
anime north has a good lineup for guests this year

Pika, you can do the funniest thing
I was gonna tell a related story that happened today but I feel like It would actually cause significant changes in spooky's worldview (to the negative) so I won't do it
Pirate, I will support your decision to become a VTuber
