Well, there’s our plot. A little boring way of revealing this with an exposition dump, but oh well.

I like Violet Evergarden, but this movie was a big miss for me unfortunately

He says he’s sorry, but then proceeds to talk down to her again by saying she’s at a disadvantage without his help. Swell guy

Oh, I don’t have an issue with the links in the post even though I’m not on ani.social. The app just goes to the disc post I selected. I don’t really use it in the browser

I feel like Wotakoi does not enough attention. I also think Murcielago is a blast, but I don’t hear much about it from others.

Yeah, it’s helpful, although I sometimes forget it exists

I can post as many villainess and shōjo as I want without being critized for it.

If there’s 1 criticism I have about that, it’s that I have a lot less time for other manga haha

Thanks for the effort you and the other mods put in. It’s appreciated. It’s a small, but overall nice community. I don’t really miss the Reddit alternative. The small size also made me more active in the comments and posts (if only a little) than I was on Reddit. It feels less like you’re posting into a void, especially if you’re a day or two later in the discussion posts.

Yeah… Don’t think about that too hard… My headcanon is that dragons have a human form here…

Also Ruri showing again that she’s pretty awesome. Also love the committee wearing their own horns

hilariously bad at handling money

Thankfully he’s got a good guy that allows him to rectify his mistakes.

relationship baiting

Can you already call that baiting?

was not used to how loud all the crickets were at night

Yeah, nature or countryside isn’t necessarily quiet. Crickets or cicadas or whatever can be pretty loud. Their higher pitch makes it more present too. Summertime tends to be the worst.

True, it depends on where you want them to be assertive.

actually recognize their own feelings and communicate with one another.

It shouldn’t be, but it’s such a breath if fresh air

Ayase and Okarun have such great chemistry and their VAs convey it so well

If by being assertive you mean knowing what they want, then I’d say Wotakoi. One of my favourites in general.

Maybe I’m misremembering due to the infrequent uploads, but I feel like something’s different. The usually stoïc Ange smiling to Erio while saying good morning doesn’t feel quite right.

It’s wild to me that this got a 2nd season, but so many good anime don’t

S1 is the weakest of the bunch imo. I had the same thoughts initially. Then season 2 started and it just became infinitely better for me.

Also, now that I watched AoT, Kaiju No. 8 feels like a dumbed-down knock-off.

Yeah, it absolutely is.

Why is the name ‘Mihari’ translated as ‘Gard’?

From the anime I’m watching, the only OP and ED that really stand out are the ones from Dandadan. The other ones are fine.

And honestly, that kinda sums up this season in so far in general for me. There are some I’m enjoying a fair amount, but not much that stands out. Even Re:Zero I’m not enjoying as much as I’d have hoped. Maybe I’m in a bit of a slump or I’m watching the wrong things.
