Not really. Nature seems to be what’s trying to kill me :lol: I’ll look into it though. A daily Claritin seems to keep things under control most of the time while allowing me to remain functional, but seems like there’s always a couple days out of the year when it isn’t enough, though I never seem to be able to predict it

Like today is gonna be one of those days when Claritin isn’t going to do enough against my allergies. Unfortunately I can’t take Benadryl and work. - _- zzz

Has been in the low 90’s F the past couple days, and supposed to continue for the foreseeable future. Was thinking that 23 seemed comparable to winter here, then I noticed the C ... 73F sounds nice for winter, but I kinda worry what summer must be like

Welcome Several series you mentioned as your favourites are ones I enjoyed as well. And of course you avy is everyones favorite Chuni-mage Hope you enjoy it here

Well it certainly didn’t take long for Hatsu & Momiji to make an impression on the school now did it? :lol: On the serious side of things

25 episodes in the first season, but obviously the story is meant to be continued

Agree with this as well. What’s particularly troubling is when you point out the very real safety and security concerns the solutions they propose are the same as the ones for older technology that still haven’t proven effective. Invariably the final argument is “Well it’s going to happen whether you like it or not so just accept it or get left behind”. THAT’S annoying.

Just finished watching the season finale. The last fight proved to be underwhelming, but it redeemed itself somewhat with the sentiment in the 2nd half of the episode. I’ll probably post some more indepth comments once I’ve had some time to reflect on things and put my thoughts in order. Another season is almost inevitable, but that will probably be next year at the earliest. As it stands this will be my #2 or #3 for the season depending on the next episode of AoT.

100% agreement on this. Time spent getting from where I am to where I need/want to be is always an annoyance

Just finished watching episode 12. Predictably the 4 MCs had to make use of their special talents to overcome the final boss (even Subaru was useful :lol: ). One thing I was confused by And the final scene promises the introduction of transfer students in season 2 ... yeah that’s right (maybe we’ll get to see Naofumi or Rimuru afterall)

It’s fairly recent but there’s a series called Hakata Tonkatsu Ramens that I recommend to anyone who likes Durarara, Bacanno or Black Lagoon. A word of warning it is pretty violent and has a very dark sense of humor.

@The History Kid Glad you’re enjoying it, definitely one of the funnier recent series IMO. There’s a movie coming out in Japan soon, hopefully CR will stream it eventually The characters are also pretty prominent in Isekai Quartet, though if you’re not familiar with the other series, a lot of jokes aren’t as funny.

If you’re looking for public opinion check out the MAL listing. As far as my own opinion, it made me laugh at times, but there were also entire episodes that did nothing for me. There are a few generally brief moments of sentiment and characterization, but it’s 95% percent a gag/parody series. I think I still have a couple of the better episodes recorded from Toonami, but not worth buying IMO.

I generally don’t buy into the concept of an anime with universal appeal since everyone has their own tastes. I much prefer to think that in the vast variety of anime series there’s something for everyone instead of a few series that appeal to everyone. It’s much easier to recommend series on an individual basis . As far as exploring, I would recommend subscribing to a streaming service with a variety of titles and check out series where the concept interests you even if it’s not a genre you usually watch. I doubt Romance, Sports or Reverse Harems will ever be favorites of mine, but I have come across examples that were surprisingly enjoyable. That being said, there are some favorites of mine that tend to be pretty widely appreciated (regardless, I would recommend watching before buying if possible) Cowboy Bebop Fullmetal Alchemist (both versions are sufficiently different that they are worth checking out, though my own preference is Brotherhood) Trigun Cardcaptor Sakura Mushishi Death Note My Hero Academia Most of these are pretty mainstream, but when recommending more obscure stuff, I prefer to know a bit mire about what they’re looking for

Can’t believe these are by the same artist

Love the visuals that accompany this one

I think you did a really good job summarizing why I’ve always been a fan of animation in general and not just anime as far as bring a form of expression. Even when the setting or story isn’t anything fantastical, the visual style and character designs can make it stand out from others that have similar concepts. Whike things like lighting and fx can have a similar impact on live action, it doesn’t seem as noticeable.

I think the problem was on my end. I need to replace my pc and sometimes pages don’t look right on the phone (makes posting more of a challenge too). Hopefully you’ll enjoy the series

The dog is freaking out because there’s a thunderstorm. Hopefully the power will stay on.

There are several series in that genre thst I enjoy as well. Some favorites being Aria, My Roommate is a Cat, Flying Witch & Yuru Camp.

For the upcoming season To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts & Fireforce are the ones I’m anticipating most. Also curious about Cop Craft, Dr. Stone & B.E.M.
