1·1 month agoJust want to say, this is the first NSFW-marked post I have seen on Lemmy since joining over a year ago.
What is interesting to me is how your occupation would be identified.
Face value? What if you are a Japanese citizen, but look like a foreign person due to genes. Edit: or if you look Asian but are not a local.
Speaking fluent Japanese? What if you are a tourist who has learned the language.
Would you need to show your ID at every establishment to prove you are not a tourist?

I watched a grand total of 11 anime released this year, so I may as well write four words about each one:
- OniMai: Weird, but strangely cozy.
- Trigun Stampede: Cool ideas, odd pacing
- Shingeki no Kyojin (both combined for 8 words): A satisfying finale for the amazing “Final” season.
- Jigokuraku: Cool setting, otherwise basic.
- Tengoku Daimakyou: It should’ve kept going.
- Megumin spinoff: Favourite character, average series.
- Oshi no Ko: Great. Slow at times.
- Mushoku Tensei: Odd. It’ll pay off.
- Boy and the Heron: Miyazaki’s weakest, interesting nonetheless.
- PLUTO: Great mystery, many characters.
Didn’t get around to Spy×Family continuation yet. For currently airing series carrying over to 2024, I really am enjoying Kusuriya no Hitorigoto and Sousou no Frieren.
Absolute Duo is also my definition of average, but Absolute Soul is such an amazing opening song. Hyped you up even if the show was non-memorable.
Finally a new part for the Gate series. Previous titles include:
- Steins;Gate
- GATE: Jieitai Kanochi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri
- Divine Gate
Wonder if this one will be a reboot /s
You forgot to mention Panty & Stocking, Inferno Cop and Space Patrol Luluco. Luluco should be watched only after Kill la Kill and Inferno Cop (and the short Sex & Violence with Machspeed, can be found on Youtube).
Hiroyuki Imaishi is the greatest anime director out there.
(EDIT: And I forgot Cyberpunk: Edgerunners)
はい、あれはめぐみんです。かわいいですね。
Eh, Hunter×Hunter gets quite heavy. The Hunter Exam arc gives a slightly lighthearted impression compared to latter parts, even if it does not have a ton of explicit gore, it is violent.
Beyblade is still a thing 20 years later? Who would’ve thunkt! Haven’t seen them in stores in ages though…
Are you watching the 2011 version of HxH?
I’ll probably try out the '90s anime for my next rewatch, since I’ve watched the new one five times by now.
I haven’t looked into any of the Fate shows
It’s certainly a can of worms waiting to be opened. For anime onlies, there is unfortunately no perfect watch order as Fate/Stay Night does not have a perfect anime adaptation, and it is essentially the base for all other titles in the franchise.
If you want to get into the Fate anime series (but don’t necessarily want to read the original visual novel), your best bet is to start with either the 2014 Fate/Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works series, or 2006 Fate/Stay Night. Neither is a perfect introduction, for reasons that you can search up since this topic is discussed a lot.
After that you can continue with Fate/Zero, and pretty much any of the Fate titles.
I’ve recently completed several shows that were in a limbo in my currently watching list.
Fate/Apocrypha - It was a nice action show, especially liked the use of extremely distorted sound effects to portray power. Did not feel connected to any of the characters at all though, there were way too much and the show ended up not giving enough attention to any of them, except maybe Sieg.
Birdie Wing S1- I’m not a golfer, but it was fun, very “anime” show with all the imaginary power-ups and whatnot. Was expecting it to stay on the gambling side of golf for longer than it did, but not complaining. Might watch the second season at some point in time.
Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai! - CGDCT/SoL is not really my jam anymore but this one was enjoyable enough, although slightly boring at times and it took me a long time to finish. Didn’t have too many running gags, which is good IMO because those get old fast.
Then I’ve also been watching the new season of Mushoku Tensei. It’s really weird. The pacing has felt super off, and every episode somehow relates to Rudeus’ dick not functioning. Which, if you ask me, is not a super interesting plot point to base your adventure story around. Will stick to it though, because I trust the story will eventually get back to the quality it was in the first season.
Sorry if you’ve seen these already, went down my list from the highest scores so most of these are fairly popular.
Dororo… in a way? It’s a story of one of the main characters trying to get his body parts back to become human.
Mob Psycho 100 kind of fits the bill, while self-improvement is not the focus, it’s the driver of the story and the motivation of the protagonist.
Inu-Oh - kind of a similar premise as Dororo, but in a movie form, and instead of slaying demons it revolves around becoming a human via music performance.
A recent one: Onii-chan wa Oshimai (OniMai) - the main character, a NEET, is turned into a younger aged girl and begins their journey to become a functioning member of society.
I tried giving the first volume a go; not my thing. Gonna stick with the animation. The style of writing felt awkward.
See, I’m not even pretending I’m masculine.
Except for my 30" ribbed monster cock that always slides out while playing as a female in agar.io.
