  3. @Qc707 I made a mistake on my earlier reply. While the titles I listed are some of my favorite comedy ones, they’re not similar to Konosuba (don’t know how the heck I didn’t see that part of the request). Sorry. Series that are a better match would be Slayers Rune Soldier Gokudo Princess Connect Re Dive
  4. Deleted, meant to post in another topic. Sorry.

  6. Think I watched the first season. And then the movie, was actually surprised to see a more serious side to it. A very unique series in that it can be very calm & relaxing but also creepy and unnerving at times. And there was usually some sort of lesson or precaution to the stories. Very much has the feel of stories told around a campfire. While one of it’s distinctive traits is that each episode was self contained, I found that the ones I enjoyed most had some level of character development, like Ginko’s childhood (although I don’t think they ever came right out & said it was him) & the one that showed how his attitude towards Mushi was different from other Mushi-shi & how that affected his way of resolving conflicts. Also the ones with recurring characters like his friend the merchant & the girl who acted as a messenger as they gave the stories a more personal feel.
  7. Comedy can be highly subjective, but some ones that made me laugh the most: School Rumble Asobi Asobase Kaguya-sama: Love is War Science Fell in Love, so I Tried to Prove It
  8. ^ Will probably watch eventually, but not anytime soon. To be honest right now I watch anime to distract from me the real world. Which is not to say everything I’m currently watching is cheerful & happy (Hello Re:Zero & Fruits Basket ). But also lighter stuff like Lapis Relights & Diary of our Days at Breakwater & escapism like Appare Ranman.
  9. For anyone who uses Crunchyroll, they’re losing a bunch of Sentai’s titles (though I believe they will still be available on HiDive & VRV) https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2020-07-31/crunchyroll-removes-77-sentai-filmworks-titles/.162420
  10. Haven’t seen Genocyber. Elfen Leid was ok. Not really a fan of gore, but liked Dorohedoro regardless
  11. Finally getting a break from the heat that lasted all month. Supposed to rain this afternoon though.
  12. “What I wanted wasn’t to change the world. What I really wanted was to change myself.” — Natsume, Deca-Dence episode 4
  13. I enjoyed that one as well. Hope it gets another season. My recs: Buso Renkin Ushio & Tora Dorororo Soul Eater Fire Force Goblin Slayer Claymore
  14. Heard on the radio that today is National Chicken Wing Day. At the risk of revealing how truly maladjusted I am, I have NEVER understood this fascination. I don’t care what kind of sauce you put on them, just ain’t enough meat on the damm things.

      I didn't know that was even a thing. Just give me a boneless wing or white meat. A wing has more bone than food. I'm eating baked chicken as I type this by the way. 😜

  15. Pretty low impact this week. After acting really sweet towards Tohru for a couple weeks, he’s back to being kind of gruff with her though he’s still nicer to her than he is to anyone else. A lot of it is probably it seems needlessly cruel to get close to others when his likely future is solitary confinement. Plus there’s the hints from last season that he’s met Tohru’s mom and for sone reason feels guilty about her death. Just a suspicion, but get the feeling it will come to light as the season comes to a close. The cat was pretty funny, but so was him & Arisa. Honestly I’ve been tempted to ship them at times, but think she has too much fun antagonizing him & they’re maybe too alike As far as Yuki, kinda wonder if he might hit it off with the student council member he gave the leaf to, they seem kinda similar.
  16. So I just watched the 2 latest eps. Episode 9 actually took a bit of a serious turn for a couple minutes which was a surprise. And episode 10 ... I’ll just say “Spartans” and “Pro Wrestling” and leave it at that
  17. @EvaUnit69 if you’re enjoying it you may want to check out Therme Romae by the same writer. I only watched 1 episode, but there were clear similarities. As for Olympia Kyklos, it’s ... different I’ve seen around 9 episodes & it usually made me chuckle at least once per episode, which is more than some full length comedy serIes managed. I still think it’s a hardsell for your average otaku. A lot of people will be turned off by the animation style which seems like a combination of claymation & whatever South Park uses. Actually I kinda feel a Monty Python influence on the humor & animation too. A lot of the humor will probably be funnier if you’re an ancient Greek culture nerd, especially the closing songs. But like you said, the episodes are short so maybe check out a couple to see if it’s enjoyable enough.
