It’s going to be such a hard choice for Yuuki when this all comes to a head. I was sitting there trying to figure out what I would do in his position, and I couldn’t really decide. On one end, your sister that you thought was lost is back, with a bunch of people who look like they got put in a bad situation through no fault of their own. On the other end, all of humanity, plus your newly found “family” that you’ve become a part of. However, the fact that I care this much means that this silly little ecchi show has done a good job with the story.

You know what would make this story a lot easier to understand? Arguments between lifelong bureaucrats about finer points of jurisdiction, committees, and escalating complaints.

I almost spit out my drink at this comment. Too true. Let’s spend valuable time with this rather than something that moves the story along or explains things

Have we met Jill before? If we did, I don’t remember it. Rouge seems to know who they are, so let’s roll with it…

I was thinking she was on the land crawler trip on Mars but could be entirely wrong. Too lazy to go look, but I had the same attitude as you “Well she’s here now, and Rouge remembers her, so I guess that’s fine”

My impressions at this point are that rather than starting to wrap things up and move to a conclusion in episode 7, they’re adding in more and more plot threads that they’ll have to resolve in the next 5 episodes. Still having a good time though.

This show is much better than it has any right to be. Really glad I picked this up.

You pretty much summed up my exact thoughts on this show. It’s really pretty to watch, and I’m having fun, but each episode I get more and more confused.

Is anyone else getting possible demon lord vibes from Patrick? There was a lot of focus this episode on him being so impressed with Yumiella being open and owning the “bad” things about herself, and how he went to great pains to hide his own flaws. IIRC the game didn’t really focus on Yumiella too much, so maybe the two of them teamed up/why she was the hidden boss. Just something that occurred to me while watching.

It shows up at my local grocery store every now and then for the normal price. They still have the tag for it, with all the rest of the knock offs, but it does sell out quick when it comes in. I snagged a bottle a month or so ago, as none of the replacements scratch the same itch and my kids only like the real stuff.

I have no idea how Frieren and Apothecary Diaries have fallen. They’re so good! Ragna Crimson is ok, but not better than either of those two. JJK chugging along I can see, but I always feel guilty watching it because of all the drama with the attempted NDAs and conditions for the animators.

This is going to be so bad. This is Masters of the Universe for a new generation.

You’ve contradicted yourself. MotU with Dolph Lundgren was amazing. Was it super accurate to the show, nah, but it was a cool story and Dolph Lundgren and Frank Langella made it a blast.

The weird faces in this show are starting to grow on me for some reason.
I’m really digging the strategy and different POVs and battles.

This show is so creepy, and I love it for that.

After-School Hanako-kun (Hōkago Shōnen Hanako-kun) spinoff manga will get a four-episode sequel in fall 2024.

Nice! I was confused when no episode 5 showed up since there wasn’t really any sign that the season was over. I really enjoyed the bite sized episodes and feel it might work a bit better.

I’m not sure where I fall on this show still. On one hand, the characters are all really good and the artwork is really nice. On the other side, the “secretly overpowered” thing is not really working for me. I’m guessing nobody but the queen and the maid, plus her dad, know about her power, otherwise it wouldn’t even be a question of her being on the council. But I also can’t see how it would work if she knew out about her power, since her self doubt is integral to her character.

Will keep going with it, as it’s still mostly enjoyable. Hopefully they find a way to satisfactorily reconcile things.

This show is really enjoyable. I really like that I get to learn about the customs as Maomao does without it feeling like exposition dumps. She’s such a great character. I look forward to this one every week, and will be sad when it’s over.

This show is really good at tugging my heartstrings. The stories they tell are just so real. I was really worried that something bad (worse) had happened to Uta to create such a huge change in personality. I was happy it turned out to just be the boyfriend was a turd. Kinda goes back to the point of “are you sure you should have said yes just like that? you don’t know this guy”

Also was great to see Minato googling what dating is, and deciding “nah, that’s not the relationship I want with her.” I kind of hope they keep the best friends vibes going, but they’ve still paved the way towards a friends to lovers story if they want to.

This has been a pleasant surprise I picked up on a whim this season. I’m glad I did.

This is low key one of my favorite rom-coms this season. I really like how cute and airy it is most of the time, and Ryuto is definitely a real one. I am also pretty glad to see they’re not inserting drama with silly “i can explain/i don’t want to hear it” scenarios. They’re resolving things with communication and honesty, which is awesome.

Still really enjoying this one, but it feels like his harem is getting a bit too crowded too quick. Shino just got added basically, and now Mirika is coming in full steam.

I also find it hard to believe that everyone is so forgiving about being drugged twice for nefarious purposes. Guess it’s a matter of “so the show can happen.”

Went into this show completely blind, and have to say it’s one of my favorites this season. Early on candidate for AOTS for me. Once the show is complete I may have to pick up the source material, as I hear it is also amazing.

This show just keeps getting more and more bonkers. I’m really digging it.

Finally a story focused episode. Seems like most of this season has been filler or side story stuff. Also, having this arc be Yor focused is great, as she has felt a lot like an afterthought for a while
