Yeah, I really enjoyed it. Though a big part of it was the supporting cast of Misuzu & Carol who definitely need their own spinoff series It’s been a really long time since I saw it (to give you an idea, the version I have is the individual disc releases instead of a collection). I still remember it as one of the few true yuri series I’ve seen compared to some others where it’s more implied.

Welcome Hope joining the community makes your anime journey more enjoyable. Yeah, defining one’s interests by genre is kinda tricky. The series that got me into anime were scifi/space (Star Blazers/Robotech). But fantasy & supernatural elements are probably what interests me the most, of course even those categories cover a lot of ground in the broadest sense. I’m generally not a fan of drama or serious romance, but I got emotionally invested in the recent Fruits Basket remake (2019-2021). And I’ve really enjoyed a number of romcoms, most recently Tomo-chan is a Girl & My Love Story With Yamada-kun at Level 999. Though Vinland Saga’s 2nd season is probably my favorite anime from this year so far. I prefer not to use PMs until I get somewhat familiar with people. Anyway, hope you find things to interest you here & decide to stick around.

Welcome Hope joining the community makes your anime journey more enjoyable. Interesting bits of information you provided on your background. Not sure if you’d be interested, but there’s a series I’m enjoying called Golden Kamuy that has a lot of references to the Ainu, which is an indigenous culture of Northern Japan (Hokkaido). The 4th season of the anime is currently airing & I believe the manga is ongoing.

Welcome Hope you find some things to interest you here. Unfortunately the only series on your profile that I’ve completed was Strawberry Panic. There have been some reverse harem or otome anime I enjoyed, but not many. I really enjoyed the recent remake of Fruits Basket though & so far this year has had a surprising numbet of romcoms or anime with a romance aspect I actually enjoy (Tomo-chan, Yamada-kun, Kubo, Insomniacs After School, Clueless First Friend, Skip & Loafer, Ancient Magus Bride, Malevolent Spirits Mononogatari, Sugar Apple Fairy Tale, Sacrificial Princess & King of Beasts)

@Animedragon There’s an upcoming sequel film https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2023-03-22/kaina-of-the-great-snow-sea-star-sage-anime-film-sequel-trailer-reveals-october-premiere/.196270

I set it aside after 3 eps, just wasn’t feeling it. Currently Demon Slayer is providing my quota for action & superior animation. Vinland Saga for violence & philosophy but with superior characterization & writing. I see that it continues to be highly rated on MAL, so may give it another look later. No idea when though. I’m already following 19 seasonals. And even if I drop some of the weaker ones at this late date, there are a number of others I still plan on bingeing (Golden Kamuy 4 & Witch from Mercury 2nd cour) or at least check out (Heavenly Delusion, Summertime Rendering & My Home Hero). And the summer season already has a number of series I’m looking forward to.

“Flaws are just talents you haven’t found the proper use of yet” - Usako Kurashiki, Insomniacs After School

“Happy” means … I can make it through another day tomorrow. As long as I have this memory, I can make it through a hardship or two. It cheers me up. - - Chise, The Ancient Magus Bride season 2.

Watched the first couple episodes of Insomniacs After School. As the name implies it’s about a couple highschoolers who bond over their shared struggles with insomnia & revive their school’s astronomy club. Like Skip & Loafer it seems like a pretty chill slice of life series with a friendship to romance angle. I really like the ED

“Momo doesn’t know much about computers, but it’s a bad sign if there’s smoke coming out, right?” - My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Level 999

Seasonal contender: Akane Hououji from The Cafe Terrace and it’s Goddesses

<shrugs>To each, their own. I continue to enjoy it & would recommend to anyone who enjoyed Net-juu no Susume (Recovery of an MMO Junkie)

@Animenoob Could you be thinking of Dirty Pair?

My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv999 has taken the lead as my favorite non-sequel/non-spinoff series of the season, followed by Oshi no Ko As far as sequels/spinoffs it’s a closer call, but probably still Ancient Magus Bride 2 Not really “good”, but manages to make me laugh and the OP is a bop, so bit of a guilty pleasure I guess At least not as cringe as KamiKatsu & My One-Hit Kill Sister (both dropped) Yeah, I set that aside after one ep. Might revisit it later, but doubt it.

@Rebel Emotion Don’t know how I missed this post earlier. Hope you had a great day
