I had to do a double take when I first saw the poster to make sure it was her. One of my favorite unspoken gags of the series is how they had the legendary VA Kotono Mitsuishi, Sailor Moon herself, voice the character that mostly just makes grunting noises. After watching this trailer I am super excited for how absolutely insane this looks.

Hey, I welcome OC in the community. I would consider this NSFW-worthy in this community though. We try to be a little on the safer side than many of the art-focused communities.

I apologize for not saying something earlier. I admit that I saw this post in my feed, and just assumed it was a post from one of the art communities and not from anime or I would have said something earlier.

I’ll leave this since I didn’t see it until after some comments, but I think this was intended for !anime_irl@ani.social

Also, more people should watch Apocalypse Hotel. It was fantastic from start to finish.

Is there a better one or would it be better to just not link it? I have been making pretty subjective calls about what comms to link in that portion of the post, so I am open to feedback.

At the start of each season recently, I have tried searching for shows that I suspect might have a community on lemmyverse to see if there were any existing communities. Sometimes there are multiple, but one is obviously more active than the other, so I just link the active one. Sometimes there is just one but it is pretty dead. I have tended to still include the link in the latter case.

Some early impressions of the season:

• City the Animation - Fantastic so far. The production quality is off the charts and the humor is connecting for me. Nichijou is my go-to feelgood anime, so this show never fails to make me feel good as well.
• Silent Witch - This adaptation has been better than I could have hoped for. Monica is a lot of fun as a main character and Nero is a great supporting cat. Also, by far my favorite villainess of this season.
• Vending Machine - I have enjoyed season 2 so far, but I feel like the pacing is pretty slow. I remember reading that there wasn’t much left of the source after the first season, so perhaps they are stretching what little there is over the whole cour.
• Mikadono Sisters - I have read/watched lots of harem shows and this one is not bad. The MC is actually likeable and the three sisters are all meaningfully distinct from one another.
• 7th Prince - The production of this show continues to impress. I know many are likely to get turned off by Lloyd’s character design, outfits, camera angles, all of it really…but if you can look past that, the animation in this show really goes off when it wants to.
• New Saga - I have ended up liking this more than I thought I would. I didn’t remember the beginning of the story too well since it had been so long since I read the manga. It has kept me watching so far. I don’t think they are making it the whole way through the story this season, but I have feelings about the story’s ending, so I will probably drop this at some point.
• Dan Da Dan - Season 2 has been fine for me, but one thing in particular has been excellent. The animation of Jiji in the fights the past two episodes has been stellar. I absolutely love the way they have animated him and his abilities. I just want more of Jiji kicking a ball around, is that too much to ask? I think we know where all the frames for Blue Lock ended up now, Dan Da Dan stole them.

Hey, it’s alright. It is all too often that a post like this where a single user is making a lot of replies, is actually a bot that is not changing profiles between posts. It is much more common on lemmy (as opposed to microblogs like twitter/mastodon) to simply edit your existing posts/comments if you have additional thoughts to add. So, don’t be surprised that you are going to probably garner some downvotes simply for the volume of replies you have produced.

The most recent example I can think of is The Apothecary Diaries. When I decided to check it out after the first season aired, I entered a hyperbolic time chamber and suddenly came back to my senses after bingeing the whole season. The mystery building is just too good.

ITT: people that have no idea what the meme is about.

If somebody coming across this is curious, it’s about a show/manga called Takopi’s Original Sin. It’s depressing as hell.

I think this might have been meant for !anime_irl@ani.social.

Don’t worry, I can hear your gif, so we can be old together. 🫂

I don’t know a thing about Uma Musume, but it is tagged Manhatten Cafe on pixiv and booru, so I assume you are correct.

I think this one is on Amazon.

TIL about qView. I am going to give this a shot because I haven’t found a great option for viewing webp outside the browser when I am stuck on Windows.

I really wish desktop image viewers supported it better instead of the browser being one of the few pieces of software that render them. For web use though, they are hard to beat when it comes to file size, so I understand why they have been so widely used in the fediverse where instances basically run off donations.

I just requested it by pm and the thread is here.

Weekly ranking roundup:

1. Reddit Karma - Weekly Winner: Dan Da Dan

Credit to /u/Abysswatcherbel for making the chart for reddit karma and /u/Nooble5 for the Anime Trending chart.

No AC or AT charts this week with the change in season. I am a bit surprised that Dan Da Dan was able to top the Apothecary Diaries finale. Looks like Takopi has also had a great showing in the karma rankings.

I was on vacation this past week, but managed to catch up on a few things and catch the premiere of a couple others:

• Apothecary Diaries - Finished this season up and really liked it. I think I liked the first season better, but I would be hard pressed to point to a show that managed to pull off 48 episodes of as consistently good quality as this one. Looking forward to season 3 eventually.
• Slime 300 - I caught up on this one and powered through the end of the season. It’s more of the same, just with some new moe characters. I had fun.
• Rock is a Lady’s Modesty - I enjoyed the finale, but I kind of doubt this is getting another season. I will have to wait for the manga translations to catch the rest of the story.
• Vending Machine Isekai - Boxxo is back and it picks up right where things left off. I wasn’t sure what to expect with a season two of this premise, but a three-story tall ice vending machine wasn’t it. This show remains as creative as ever.
• Dan Da Dan - Speaking of picking up right where things left off… Good first episode back and remains as unhinged as ever. I never expected a Jennifer Lopez in Anaconda reference. I am pretty sure Dan Da Dan’s primary audience was probably born after that movie came out.
• Silent Witch - Good first episode and better production quality than I was expecting (plus easily the best Villainess of the season). Looking forward to the change in setting from episode 2 onwards.
• New Saga - I read the manga for this one and I think I am going to drop the anime. If you watched the premiere and thought that you have seen this story before, it’s likely that you have since the LNs came out over a decade ago when it might not have felt as derivative.

Thanks for pointing this out. I have disabled future threads for this show. It will still be requestable if somebody in a different region with a different release schedule wants a thread.

…unbelievably terrible move by netflix
