At this point in time, the Winter seasonal shows have either wrapped up or are airing their finale this week. So, I wanted to hear your thoughts on shows you watched this season. Shows you liked, disliked, were surprised by, disappointed by? Let those opinions rip!

Like always, this thread can also be used for general discussions, recommendations, and questions. So, if you haven’t been watching any seasonal shows, but instead want to talk about the finer points of Fushigi Yuugi, that is fine too.

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).

      Haha, nope, just used it as an example. I have read most of the manga though. I had a lot of fun in the past making fun of the chapters on /r/manga as they released. However, as the series went on, it stopped being fun to even joke about it. So, I am proud to say that I have been Rent a GF free since November 2023.

        The chapter where

        Rent a girlfriend manga

        the mc thinks about his gf/crush getting fucked by another guy and getting a boner out of it

        released around that time right? No wonder people stopped reading it after that lmao.

          That was a bit before that point (Jan 2022), but that chapter (218) was peak humor for the discussion thread. It was all downhill after that. It was like we were all just taking the piss of out the series and then the metaphorical Fire Nation of chapter 218 attacked.

          I continued reading it for a while after transitioning to Lemmy. Fortunately, after starting the !manga@ani.social community, the users there have helped me replace it with much better choices.
