If we’re including ships I’m 2nding Ash & Misty and adding Deku & Uravity from My Hero Academia

Kaoru Hanabishi & Aoi Sakuraba from Ai Yori Aoshi i and of course these two

It just makes you smile a lot and chuckle occasionally. And when the episode is over you feel relaxed. Haven’t heard the dub though.

I thoroughly enjoyed MHA seasons 1 & 2, but thought season 3 was inconsistent. Eagerly awaiting season 4 this fall. Never really understood the appeal of that franchise myself. Finally dropped it altogether during Alicization

And his in-game avatar is a cartoon pig :lol: And if we're including Louise the Zero, should also probably include Akko from Little Witch Academia. Though in the titles I mentioned in earlier posts, the characters really don't grow or improve all that much (the guy from NHK a litlle, but lots of setbacks along the way and still has plenty of issues)

High winds have been knocking out power to a lot of people in the area, but mine are still on <knock on wood>

I honestly have no interest in the novels since it's mainly fans of the novels complaining about the anime which I'm enjoying.

Hmm, maybe I’m misunderstanding something but I can think of several SoL that would seem to fit: Haganai, Asobi Asobase & Chio’s School Road all feature characters that are widely treated as outcasts by their peers and show little to no growth. I would even be tempted to include Konosuba since the main quartet are together pretty much because no one else wants them in their party, and even when they do something heroic, something inevitably happens to keep their reputations from improving

Well I could suggest Dimension W since that's actually one of the characters name :lol: For an actual suggestion maybe try Welcome to the NHK

Ditto as far as how I found out about this place. Previously I had only discussed anime on another smaller scale site where I was a member for about 10 years. Unfortunately activity has been declining for several years as the original company (Anime Nation) went out of business. Rightstuf took over sponsoring but unfortunately they decided to pull the plug recently. Fortunately some members started a Patreon account to keep things going and I still check it out some. But activity has really dropped off so I started searching for alternatives. I post some on MAL and CR but don’t really care for the types of fans active on those sites and the toxic environment they tend to create. So this site has become my primary Social Media resource (I don’t even do Facebook or Reddit :lol:) I also check out ANN to keep current on what’s going on in the industry, but don’t care for the community.

I haven't read any of the novels so I don't have any definitive knowledge of what's coming, but I have some expectations based on the OP & ED. I'm guessing there will be at least one more big fight since the OP showed some evil looking characters who haven't appeared yet (one of them looked like a girl with butterfly wings and another like some sort of golem(?) ). As far as the kids, the ED shows them in a very happy/carefree light, so at the very least I don't expect any of them to die. I doubt Rimuru will confront Shizu's summoner this season though. Likewise I don't expect things to be resolved with the demon lord who used the harlequins to manipilate Geld & Phobio. If the 10 minutes you saw were from the beginning, it really isn't indicative of the series overall tone. I can totally understand not being in any hurry to watch it though if you have other ones that interest you. While I find it enjoyable overall, I wouldn't call it a "must see" (probably #3 or #4 of my currently watching list but unlikely to break into my all-time favorites.

Thought I would give this thread a bump since it seems like the series is shifting gears away from the OP character defeats supposedly major enemy with ease and gains new allies formula. I thought it really worked well with the Orc Lord, but was getting kinda stale with Millim & Charybdis. Looks like Rimuru is finally trying to resolve some of Shizue’s unfinished business & we finally know how the kids in the ED fit into things.

I definitely thought they would at least dedicate an entire episode to it , instead of splitting it with the obligatory hot springs ep, though they did tie it together with Raphtalia & Filo’s competitiveness to prove who’s most useful. Fans of the source material keep saying there’s some really dark stuff coming. While I certainly wouldn’t mind them taking things a bit more seriously, I really hope they don’t go overboard with it since alternating between extremes tend to make series less enjoyable, for me at least.

Regarding Kakegurui, yeah, Eyepatch Girl is pretty messed up in particular. As far as series with the most freaks & deviants, probably Speedgrapher, though Black Lagoon has quite a few as well (especially the twins). If we’re talking blood and gore, probably Blood C, though I hear Devilman Crybaby is pretty bad as well. As far as a story that takes a WTF?! turn, there’s Master of Martial Hearts. Finally, if you’re interested in a series dealing with psychologically & emotionally damaged characters that’s pretty surreal but also quite good, check out Penguindrum

Welcome. As for suggestions, maybe try Goblin Slayer, Ajin: Demi-human and The Promised Neverland

I'm not familiar with Overwatch so I had to look up what Genji looked like He seems to kinda resemble Silver Crow from Accel World and the story does involve bullying, though it doesn't match your description real well. Maybe it's what your looking for, or maybe someone else might see the picture and be able to figure it out for you.

The original CCS is one of my favorites as well, though I personally find the Clear Card arc lacking. Another enjoyable CLAMP series is Kobato, though it's not a conventional magical girl series. While she's on a magical quest and has a familiar who masquerades as a plush animal similar to Kero, she doesn't have any magical powers (other than her clumsiness and her ability to melt even the most jaded heart). Some other memorable examples of the genre for me: Pretear which has reverse-harem elements Princess Tutu & Petite Princess Yucie both emphasize fantasy & fairy tale elements. Magical Girl Spec Ops Asuka definitely is a much darker take on things. A word of warning, the series features gratuitous violence, and not in a comedic way (episode 4 in particular had a lengthy torture sequence that was difficult to watch)

Season 2 coming this summer https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/daily-briefs/2019-02-15/is-it-wrong-to-try-to-pick-up-girls-in-a-dungeon-anime-2nd-season-premieres-this-summer/.143517

Probably Hikaru for her sheer genkiness

Gives a listen. Hmm, not sure but this might be to your liking (off topic though since it's from last year)

It definitely gets your attention, but my own preference is for Mob Psycho 100 II's OP As far as the series itself (Domestic Girlfriend), I'm up to episode 3 and it's actually not as tawdry as I expected it to be, though I would still consider it the anime equivalent of a soap opera :lol:
