Hi everybody! It is time for what I am sure is everybody’s favorite thread of the week, the weekly general thread! How have things been going for you with the winter season this past week? I have seen a lot of new faces in this community over tha past week (it’s anybody’s guess as to why), so if you have recently joined us, feel free to introduce yourself in this thread as well! If you are searching for something to say, here are some example discussion starters to inspire you:

  • Is High Card about how to register for your medical marijuana card?
  • I feel lied to by Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable! I was waiting in the snow for a train that was late the other day, and no gals started talking to me. Instead, I just got literal cold feet.
  • I wonder if that little robot bird from Metallic Rouge was also running linux like its forebear, the Ingenuity copter?

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).

    Seasonal anime:

    • Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu 2nd Season: I have missed this anime so much, still love this, the sound design is still great, the anime is wholesome, can’t ask for much more.
    • Hime-sama, “Goumon” no Jikan desu: Watched the first episode, probably not my thing, I didn’t enjoy the premise, dropped.
    • Yubisaki to Renren: Thanks /u/kikuri@ani.social for recommending this, I liked the first two episodes, I had liked koe no katachi a lot, so a romance with a deaf character looks pretty good to me !
    • Classroom of the Elite 3rd Season: Still pretty good if not somewhat confusing.

    First time I am seeing adaptations for manga I had read such a long time ago and a bunch of them at the same time:

    • Solo Leveling: One of the big ones of the season, only two episodes yet and not much has happened so we’ll se how it develops but so far so good. I can’t help but wonder if it should have had korean VAs but eh, I guess japanese it is.
    • Dosanko Gal wa Namaramenkoi: I think I am more okay with this show than most, it’s a romcom in which the FMC is a gyaru that’s not a bully for once, in a winter setting at Hokkaido. The MC is pretty bland so what decides wether you’ll watch this is the FMC and the visuals.
    • Nozomanu Fushi No Boukensha: I read this when it didn’t even have 10 chapters, I don’t remember much but so far the anime is pretty generic. Not worth it if you aren’t into the genre. Will keep watching for now but I am not expecting much.
    • My Instant Death Ability Is Overpowered: I think the manga was of better quality, I don’t like the animation much, but will keep watching 'cause it has some interesting ideas so I want to see how it pans out.

    EDIT Oh yeah there’s also:

    • The wrong way to use healing magic: This one has also been in the back of my mind for a long time, a tad bit less original than I remembered but it’s still one of the first mangas I’ve ever read.

    non-seasonal:

    • Shin no Nakama ja Nai…: I have rewatched and completed the first after seeing that it just got a 2nd season. And I do not recommend it, it’s ok at the start and it has a few nice aspects to it but the characters and their motivations are a bit too dumb/forced, the action animation and fights kind of hurt to look at. The last few episodes are especially bad. It’s not completely terrible but I would avoid this.

      a romance with a deaf character looks pretty good to me

      On a similar note, I recently wrote over in !manga@ani.social about how much I enjoyed reading You Talk Too Much, So Just Shut It Already! which is a romcom with a deaf female lead. The story is still ongoing, but it has been great so far. One of the best things about it is how her being deaf is never portrayed as some kind of disability or shortcoming, it is just something that is different about her.
