Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak Jaz if you are using that question to look for recommendations, based on your list of three shonen shows, watch shangri-la frontier (edited)
You got me.

I am going to bed, but if you ever want more detailed recommendations of a bunch of different genres, let me know, I'll curate a list of things I think are good and not an insane 'barely watched any anime' recommendation
Replying to Jaz #hick_dead I've seen that one on the front page of Netflix, I'll be sure to look at it (edited)
Also for the love of god remove the first comma I had a stroke trying to understand what you meant by this for a second
I'd rather look the fool
This is a really great season, essentially everything's aired their E1s (other than Elusive Samurai S2, which airs ~3 weeks late)
so here's my list of non-sequels
5*
Sayonara Lara
4*
Chainsmoker Cat
Grow Up Show - Himawari no Circus-dan
Kimi ga Shinu made Koi wo Shitai
Kore Kaite Shine
Koukaku Kidoutai (2026)
Neko to Ryuu
Otome Kaijuu Carameliser
Rakudai Kenja no Gakuin Musou
Toumei na Yoru ni Kakeru Kimi to, Me ni Mienai Koi wo Shita.
my two biggest surprises are that the mermaid show and the stupid sage show won me over

I was considering watching the "kimi ga shinu" one. good i guess it had a good start then?
I really really liked it
it reminds me of SukaSuka (Worlds End)
they made it not overbearingly yuri, which surprised me
and made it fun
Maybe I will pick up more non sequels
I am only watching 2 of them somehow
Otome Kaijuu Carameliser is also fun
that's probably the one I'd reccomend
Kaiju one looked fun from the trailer
romcoms really benefit from having good animations
you can get a lot more mileage out of subtle jokes
I did not like the polu/Rusp show this season unfortunately
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 I did not like the polu/Rusp show this season unfortunately
I think the TL didn't even know what was going on at certain points
1*
Tenmaku no Jaadugar
and worst show of the season goes to this Arab piece of shit
Completely genuinely, the characters all wear headscarves the entire episode and look like worms
That's not some hot political take, I just think it's retarded to have a female main cast when they all look like

Replying to legorhin #jazardly The show about the American taking the great plains away from the natives is decent
I have a comment about that show, idk if you watched E2 but their lore about sheep is hilarious
So, this is a native isekai homesteading show
And for whatever reason, the author wrote that sheep have human-level intelligence
And submit to being domesticated because they have no hope of survival otherwise
But this makes them depressed, so it is more humane to harvest them for material while they are young
Before they become "wise to the world"
It's the best alternative to having slaves I've seen in an isekai

MT's ED
Thought it was really good, sorta fits with all the other stuff they've done more in-line with S1 too
Visually very cool
@taxes can weigh in on how many hidden spoilers there are

Leg, what does Japan do with their non-functional tarded population?
idk if you've seen any of it first-hand
I really liked the show and manga, but it definitely feels like a series that planned to be smaller than it ended up being
setup a bunch of characters, kill 90% of them off in the first few chapters/episodes, then you get deeper in an realize you need to replenish them so you can have there be stakes again

Still think you should watch DNT
They go more nuts with Fezzan's technology.
Kempf Goes out like a legend of the galactic hero. After they blow up one of Geiersburg's engines, Kempf is still able to pilot the thing and starts to redirect Geiersburg, while suffering from a major impalement. Though you lose out on the shitshow where all of Kempf's men kill eachother evacuating, since in this version he orders his men to evacuate before crashing the fortresses together
Sunglasses Yang.
Oberstein's dog gets a spotlight episode.
It really does justice to the final bit in book 4 in which Reinhard carresses his amulet. And I don't think the OVA does justice to this particular bit of amulet carressing. Maybe they didn't have the budget, or maybe they just didn't have the technology back then where the show makers couldn't imagine what it looks like for Reinhard to hold his amulet in this particular way.

I feel like what it did was fine for 2 seasons, and then it introduced a new wave of bodies for the unnecessary third season arc.
Last thing I'll say about this bunch of episodes for the book club. Once you realise that they cut out the monologue where Huang Rui compares a cocktail to being a dictator you'll find it leaves a lot to the imagination
My ImaginationHuang Rui: You see a cocktail is a lot like a dictatorship...
Jiao Rebello: Auch! If I wanted to see a man form a dictatorship I would have gone to dictatorclass.
Meanwhile in IserlohnYang Wenli: You see Julian, a dictatorship is a lot like a cocktail
Schonkopf: Just form the darn dictatorship!
