Bad Girl episode 9 - Guess Yuu & Mizuka were too young to be familiar with the expression “Don’t poke the bear” (or maybe it’s just a western thing). Ursula Ursakaze, indeed 🐻 . Continues to be my funniest show of the season

Apocalypse Bringer Mynoghra episode 9


Truly the most heart-warming headpat of the season 🥰

Loving the “family” dynamic that has developed: Takuto - good natured but awkward husband & dad; Atou - devoted wife & most competent (and dangerous) member of family; Maria & Caria - twin daughters; Dark Physicians - weird uncles; Isla - nurturing but firm aunt (perfectly voiced by Kikuko Inoue)

I’ve been watching the rom-com “Don’t Toy With Me Miss Nagatoro. I find it to be extremely funny. I listened to others say it was the worst anime ever. Then I decided to watch the anime version and loved it. I find myself cracking up a lot.

With one ep left, Dandadan S2 is pretty much a lock for my AOTS & frontrunner for my AOTY as well.

Also saw the 1st Infinity Castle movie at the theater last night & have mixed feelings. Pros: visuals & audio (obviously) &  the backstories for the various demons (particularly Akaza) were  very insightful. Cons: waaaaay too much material crammed into a single sitting &  feel like they retconned what we’d previously learned about Shinobu. I could be mis-remembering or maybe I read between the lines & misinterpreted some things though, planning to rewatch season 1 in the near future to try to reconcile things. And obviously the events of this movie will significantly impact what’s still to come.

Definitely overhated by some. The first ep was kinda meanspirited, but it became funnier & cuter as it went along (same is true of The Dangers in My Heart & even Takagi). Especially liked how many times Nagatoro’s attempts to embarrass Senpai wound up embarrassing her too & how blatantly jealous she got when her friends were teasing him.

Yeah. I love how Nagatoro got jealous of her friends and the art president. The art president I found to be extreme in her endeavors. All and all the anime is comical. Even when Nagatoro embarrasses Senpai, in her own way she’s definitely trying to help Senpai in her own way. I had a friend like Nagatoro who was younger than me. She got really sick and passed. Shay would torment me mercilessly. In her own way she would try to help me in learn to be better. Comparing her and Nagatoro I can understand why she I like she is. I can’t deny however I like Nagatoro for how she handles Senpai.

Thank you for sharing your personal connection to the series. As an aside, you might want to check out Dealing With the Mikadono Sisters is a breeze. While not really similar, I kinda get the same vibe except in this case it’s the male character embarrassing the sisters while helping them grow.

One thing I do know is that some watch “Don’t Toy With Me Miss Nagatoro” for the wrong reasons. I can’t see doing that. It’s such an awesome anime. I love most every anime for the stories. Escaping the chaos of life is definitely good with anime. Sometimes that break is needed. If I could critique the anime I would say, “Don’t Toy With Me Miss Nagatoro” is the perfect anime. Romance, Comedy, and Friendship. One of the best anime rom-coms I’ve seen. In a while.

At the moment focusing on closing out the Summer season of shows. Just finished Anne Shirley. Need to finish 2nd seasons of Hanako-kun & Call of the Night. Also planning to watch Rascal Does Not Dream of  Santa Claus, Clevatess & Lord of Mysteries.

Currently making my way through The Summer Hikaru Died. Quite a good pick if you're into Lovecraftian and psychological horror (these are not spoilers, by far the most "present" Lovecraftian element of the narrative is revealed as such in the first five minutes and much of the psychological horror flows out from that overt element).
