I haven’t watched it but Vatican Miracle Examiners probably fits https://myanimelist.net/anime/34368/Vatican_Kiseki_Chousakan

I believe I still have all the dvds of that one around somewhere (it used to be really popular, but you rarely hear about it anymore). Back in the day I used to buy anime at Suncoast, Media Play & Best Buy. Now I primarily use Amazon & Crunchyroll Store (formerly Right Stuf).

Thank you for sharing your personal connection to the series. As an aside, you might want to check out Dealing With the Mikadono Sisters is a breeze. While not really similar, I kinda get the same vibe except in this case it’s the male character embarrassing the sisters while helping them grow.

Currently Dandadan.

Welcome Hope you find things to interest you here. I’m in my 50s & am watching more anime than at any other time in my life (no intention to stop until I die or go blind) Don’t have anyone IRL who watches anime either, so I hang out here and on MAL.

Welcome Hope you find things to interest you here. Nice Steins Gate reference as an avy btw.

Welcome Hope you find things to interest you here. Definitely relatable. Still remember the days of VHS tapes when 2-4 episodes cost you $20 - $35. At least streaming allows me to find out if it’s something I enjoy before buying a physical copy. Unfortunately, a lot of streaming services don’t release physical copies of their most popular titles to try & control access to them.

Definitely overhated by some. The first ep was kinda meanspirited, but it became funnier & cuter as it went along (same is true of The Dangers in My Heart & even Takagi). Especially liked how many times Nagatoro’s attempts to embarrass Senpai wound up embarrassing her too & how blatantly jealous she got when her friends were teasing him.

Welcome Hope you find things to interest you here. I see you have Kanroji as your avy. Have you seen / plan to see the 1st Infinity Castle movie yet?

With one ep left, Dandadan S2 is pretty much a lock for my AOTS & frontrunner for my AOTY as well. Also saw the 1st Infinity Castle movie at the theater last night & have mixed feelings. Pros: visuals & audio (obviously) & the backstories for the various demons (particularly Akaza) were very insightful. Cons: waaaaay too much material crammed into a single sitting & feel like they retconned what we’d previously learned about Shinobu. I could be mis-remembering or maybe I read between the lines & misinterpreted some things though, planning to rewatch season 1 in the near future to try to reconcile things. And obviously the events of this movie will significantly impact what’s still to come.

I definitely need to rewatch Demon Slayers 1st season, because I saw the first Infinity Castle movie tonight. And either they made a significant retcon or I am majorly mis-remembering or mis-interpreted Shinobu’s backstory. That matters a lot to me because she’s my favorite Hashira & her role in the franchise’s final arc was one of the major points I was interested in learning. Gonna try to do the rewatch before the year is over.

“Meatball Head? pfft. Go big or go home”.

This evening will probably binge some episodes of Call of the Night season 2 & try to decide if it’s worth sticking with. Also the first 2 eps of Kaoru Hana wa Rin to Saku premiere on Netflix this weekend. It’s been hyped up on MAL as a HS romance. Will at least give it a try

Football season is here
