I will no longer be moderating this community. Please use !anime@ani.social.

So far, my list is looking like:

Sasaki and Peeps
Tis Time For “Torture,” Princess
Delicious in Dungeon
Solo Leveling
Gushing Over Magical Girls
Mr Villain’s Day Off
7th Time Loop
The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic
My Instant Death Ability Is Overpowered
Fluffy Paradise

I’ll probably also watch, at the minimum:

Doctor Elise: The Royal Lady with the Lamp
Metallic Rouge
Urusei Yatsura S2
The Unwanted Undead Adventurer
Tales of Wedding Rings
A Sign of Affection
The Foolish Angel Dances with the Devil
Mashle: Magic and Muscles (just need to finish S1 first)

Oh ya, this was amazing tbh. It just kept climbing with all the elements it threw in. In particular, I love the idea of there being two “magic” systems that operate independently in fundamentally distinct ways.

Try Seven Mortal Sins.

What issues are you talking about? This would be important context so I can decide whether I care or not.

Because I’d rather it be ruined quickly by low quality than ruined over the course of 3 years by a shit release schedule. I’m extremely pessimistic of the anime at this point because of how much they fucked up its ending by calling it Final Season and continuing to push “Final” more and more over 3 years.

At least PN2 was just a few episodes before I realized “oh I don’t really care about this”, rather than my disdain being pulled out of me by whatever idiot decided this was the way.

I read the new nolumes of ReZero and Mushoku Tensei.

I literally would have preferred it to be a Promised Neverland Season 2 than this release schedule.

I think the biggest mistake was naming it Final Season to be honest

This is it. They should not have named it final season. Once they named it final season, that was an expectation set, and they keep on changing the expectation in the most annoying way. I would have preferred them cram everything into a terrible final season than edging us like this for 3 years.

I dropped the series at ep 11 of final season when I learned it was gonna have a final season part 2. Maybe in a few years I’ll go back and finish it off, but fuck, this release schedule has really soured me on the series.

I really liked the little idol scene with Filo. I’d love to see more of that between seasons.

I like that the story mixes things up. It never really seems to lean too much into the laid-back chill, the emotional hits, or the action for very long, before proceeding to something else. I think it works really well for the series and continuing to be an increasingly engaging and interesting story.

I really really love about this show that there’s a scene with a slime and tentacles, but no ecchi fanservice in sight. I believe we’re roughly at the end of volume 1 now? I look forward to next week’s episode, when Claire starts showing some personal interest in our MC-chan.

We have only adapted 14.5 chapters so far in 7 episodes.

This is crazy, because it really feels like we’ve done way more than that. I guess because the pacing can take its time to really give an immersive feel to the world. Sounds like I’ll be reading the manga after the anime’s done though; this is def good enough to warrant it, even if I feel like the atmosphere of the anime is one of its strongest points.

GOD I CAN’T WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK. They really killed it with that cliffhanger. Frieren’s such a badass, even the way she let herself get taken down, but refused to take her eyes off her enemy. Also, to not tread on what others have said about this episode, it’s interesting that they mentioned other creatures that use human speech to trick us, and that human speech is what distinguishes demons from monsters.

The writing was really great too, with the demons using honeyed words that sound sympathetic, but they turn around and acknowledge they don’t really know what it means except that they get to live a while longer.

Rae’s so sweet, trying to help Claire get close to Thane. It was adorable when Claire let Thane pat her head. And then really stuck the landing when it was called out that Ousama game has nothing to do with being king.

Also, I love this little tackling on the topic of homosexuality. It was great in the novels too and I’m glad they kept it in. It leads into a really raw conversation on the topic, and on Rae’s own complex feelings wrt Claire.

I’m really happy with how this is being adapted.

Ah… good catch yeah, I wouldn’t like that @_@

Assuming there’s 18 minutes of animation an episode (22 minutes - 1:30 seconds for OP - 1:30 seconds for ED - ~1 minute for recap, preview, hijinks), that leaves the full run-time of the TV anime to be 216 minutes.

So that leaves them with the options of:

1. A 3 hour 36 minute movie
2. Two roughly hour and 48 minute movies

Maybe they could cut a few minutes off, but movies over 2 hours are generally penalized at the box office for it unless they’re massive blockbusters. I’ve not seen Bocchi the Rock so I’m admittedly coming from a place of ignorance here. So I ask you, but do you think they’d be able to cut out 45% of the content without a negative impact on the experience?
