My impression of the Winter 2022 season https://www.crunchyroll.com/forumtopic-1073622/-winter-2022-anime-awards-#58958788

But Meatloaf is only 1 of those

Warm & rainy. Rain is supposed to stop briefly this evening before a chance of storms overnight.

Probably not best but definitely nostalgic for me

Some clouds, some sun, but dry. High close to 70F

Finished Kotaro Lives Alone. It was clear very early on that this wasn’t just going to be a light hearted slice of life series. It touches on some heavy topics of neglect, abuse & abandonment. Though the perspective felt a bit odd at times (cultural differences?) & it felt like it took on too much to really address satisfactorily. Still deserves credit for it’s ambitions & being thought provoking. I’m debating whether to finish Slow Loop (watched through episode 8 ) or close the book on the Winter roster & focus on Spring.

Honestly the scene that made me consider dropping the series didn’t even involve Marin. It was the way they introduced Juju. But like @Soramee_, I’m glad I stayed with it. The final episode really was the best for me & the note it ended on was really sweet.

Continuing to evaluate what the season has to offer Will most likely watch 15 - 20 series to completion. The closer to the bottom, the more likely I am to drop

It’s been awhile since a MILF has got my attention but Motoko Izumi from Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie

Bofuri has always had only 12 eps. Maple gained her Machine Gof/Lord form in episode 8. A season 2 was announced, but no news on it since.

Ok, I admit the 2nd ep made me laugh. A LOT. Especially Aharen’s attempts to protect Raidou’s dignity/virtue And I can relate to Aharen’s reflex to eyedrops. I’m very adverse to anything getting in my eye. My optometrist has to pry my eyes open to put drops in & it’s absolute hell when a lash gets stuck.

I think Alvida has had some work done Here’s what she looked like back in season 1 Devil Fruit. It does a body good

Welcome again I suppose

Welcome to the forums Hope you find things to interest you here.

@peachtea I see you’ve watched some of World Trigger & am interested on your thoughts of it. Considering adding it to my PTW list.

Checked out some premieres: Rising of the Shield Hero season 2 - didn’t waste any time at all on a recap, jumping straight to a new threat separate of the “Waves” which were the focus of last season. Curious to see where it goes from here. Birdie Wing - first of all, if you’re looking for a realistic depiction of the sport & it’s technical nuances, keep looking As at least 2 of the characters have techniques that seem more like something from Demon Slayer. Also a bit of a Megalo Box or Sk8 the vibe to it. And I admit the attractive character designs without an egregious level of fanservice are a plus for me. Not sure if I”ll stick with it for the whole season, but seems like a fun/enjoyable way to spend a half hour each week. RPG Real Estate - not a fan of the moe-blob character designs & didn’t find it cute or funny. Might’ve worked better as a short run time series. One & done.

I haven’t played that one, but I’m a fan of the franchise. Favorites were the first GBA release (believe it was actually the 7th game in Japan) & the DS remake of Shadows of Valenita

I’m definitely looking forward to these 2

I’d watched the original adaption back in the day but it didn’t make much of an impression on me. The remake (2019 - 2022) however is one of my all time top 10 anime. In 40+ years of watching anime, I’ve never watched another series which could affect me emotionally as much as it did on a week to week basis during it’s run. Hoping the prequel/recap/sequel film gets released over here in some format (came out in Japan earlier this year).

@AlwaysSearching agree with Moroha being the best thing of what I saw.

I only watched the first season, didn’t really have the same appeal of the original series for me. Granted, I’d only seen the first 54 eps of the original, since it’s hard to find past that on legal streaming sites (still enough to know who Rin & Sesshomaru are). Hulu has them & am planning to watch more of it. Might give Yashahime another chance afterwards, but not anytime soon.
