I'm probably the only one who watches MHA

I was watching it until One For All was defeated. It really felt like that was supposed to be what series will be building towards and the final obstacle, so when this plot thread was concluded in very satisfying way, I lost any interest in watching series anymore. I know Shigaraki was supposed to be true villain from the very start, but I can't help to feel, what I feel. Also I had some issues with setting already and especially hearing spoilers what happens later, really made me feel like this series is vastly overrated and isn't really as clever and good as people make it to be.

I'm very sad with this arc adaptation, in terms of animation is mostly special effects in static pictures, and flash of lights with rumbling

That's shame to hear. I actually felt adaptation was really good.

Kimetsu no Yaiba

Idk. I was unimpressed with it. For a Ufotable series, there was way too much blatant CGI, that just took me out from the fights. I felt like it was actually animated pretty lazily for the most part. It does look pretty, but I felt like what mattered the most, aka fights, was often half-assed.

Itai no wa Iya nano de Bougyoryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu is very cute but it's better to not think about it too seriously because the game mechanics are very arbitrary and convenient haha.

Yea. Some ideas are k, but that poison resistance and advanced durability build way too fast. The girl is cute though. It is probably aiming more to be a lighthearted CGDCS meets iyashikei kind of anime than anything taking itself seriously.

Also, shadesofgreymoon, you're free to follow me if you want, I'll follow you back.

I got hooked on the game, wish that they'd hurry up and unlock Iroha's ability to hit 5 star and doppel, I already have Yachiyo maxed out and doppel'd and waiting for her gf to catch the hell up, lol.

Given our insane NA pace, we should be getting her this month. Also same xD Iroha is on max lvl Magia since forever. Can't wait for Iroha x Yachiyo as well.

I've level maxed my Kyouko, Sayaka, and Homura, tho out of that bunch only Homura has her doppel cuz it's so damn resource expensive and I don't like to pay real money, lol. Working on Mami and Madoka next... Only Iroha and Yachiyo have all 4 card slots open though.

Also I'm dumb and don't know how to add people....

I maxed most megucas I cared about from ones I dropped and almost got all doppels that are available for them. How long are you playing? I play since launch so I had a lot of time to get mats and money to use. I did spend money, but only twice and 1 went almost entirely for guarantee gacha.

Also I'm dumb and don't know how to add people....

It's simple. Tap on icon under news and in menu there you have friends. Go into find players and write my nick there. I should be only result, unless there's some other Nevri. I have max slot Ren on my all slot.

Yup I found you!

And I've only been playing off and on for about 3 months.

Okay we finally had subtitles for 22/7 and I have to say... hmmm, WHAT lo/ looks like it wants to be different but it might've gone a bit too far, who knows... we'll have to wait and see, I feel like thanks to Revue Starlight, I can swallow the whole premise with more open mind but I've been waiting 2 years for this and it's really different from what I thought hahaha. Also, the protagonist, to be frank I didn't like her voice and that's like totally not good for an idol anime but thankfully after 20 minutes I got used to her. Plus there are for now 4 girls I like and that's good.

Also, there's this anime called Boku no Tonari ni Ankoku Hakaishin ga Imasu I bet you once thought that the kirara series or the typical cute girls doing cute things would look super weird if they were guys doing the exact same thing... Well that's exactly what that anime is hahaha ah but don't get me wrong, I don't think that's super weird, I'm just saying, too bad they're guys because I would be going full turbo KYAAAAA if they were girls instead... It was a fun first episode.

To be frank, I love the manga, never had a problem with it but then they made the culture festival arc, it's... odd. Almost like a filler but that was easy to ignore later but then they decided to give Deku the possibilities of multiple quirks and he hasn't mastered the first one yet and that, in one word felt WRONG like it goes against his character, I can't get used to it and idk if I will ever feel good with it. Luckily, I still like everything else

First episode of Magia Record was already great, but second one is simply amazing. Best adaptation I have ever seen and I already consider it one of my favorite animes of all time.

I wouldn't go that far, but it's certainly the anime I've most enjoyed watching for some time. And definitely the best mobage adaptation (possibly the best game adaptation)

Itai no wa Iya nano de Bougyoryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu is very cute but it's better to not think about it too seriously because the game mechanics are very arbitrary and convenient haha.

I find it being apparently controversial kinda weird since I've literally never seen a fictional MMO that actually makes sense (and this is clearly a comedy). Even Log Horizon is batshit insane outside of combat mechanics

But, yeah, fun, cute series

Okay we finally had subtitles for 22/7

Yeah, that was not what I expected. I think it's intended as allegory? I feel like it needs to lean more into the stranger elements if it wants to use them; as is it feels incoherent

Oh, and I thought the new Show by Rock was pretty decent. More standard "cute girls making music", but an all-around solid production

Natsunagu looks cosy, too bad it's so short.

I'm probably the only one who watches MHA here

Nope! I watch it too. Although it's not my preferred genre of anime and I do get awfully tired of power creep anime. I watch it now almost as a background show while I'm playing Magia Record or something, heh. Although I am glad they actually got Eri back in the latest episode, her backstory is just too frikken cruel. And I am pretty apathetic about Mirio because his character design has always rubbed me the wrong way, lol.

Gay Asteroid is cute.

Oh, and I thought the new Show by Rock was pretty decent. More standard "cute girls making music", but an all-around solid production

Yeah! And they have more creative freedom with this one since the new game isn't out yet, new girls(and plusies) and endless possibilities, I hope it gets gay later. Most of the yuri in OG was in the game. I wonder if we'll see the other bands...hmmm...probably cameos.

Actually, let me share some of the Retoree's LR lines:
First of...her title: Retoree · Eternal ❤ Cyan Daisuki.
Her skill line: ETERNAAAAL CYAN DAAAISUKIII. She screams this every time her skill procs lol
She has another line but the game is closed for good and I don't remember it exactly, but it was another love declaration.

Cheety LR had a really good one too!
One of her random dialogues was about how she feels her chest tighten when Lyna flirts speaks with other girls...yep.
Lyna's lines are about her being boyish. TL;DR she's a flirt, but she's totally not doing it intentionally. It's her fan girls...yep totally.

I wish I shared the ones I had before the game died. I had loads of fun listening to those a month ago when they were practically giving them away for free.

22/7 has some supernatural elements, but at its core it feels like it's going to be an idol drama. I don't know if it's going to be a good one, but it's not going to be a show for me either way. Might check back later if I hear about yuri developments or if it turns out to be incredible or something.

Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken is the best anime I've seen in years. It reminds me of why I care about the medium even when it feels like 99% of what gets made is trash.

Someone translated the first chapter of the 22/7 manga https://mangadex.org/title/44653/22-7-nanabun-no-nijyuuni it should help understanding the characters better (if the anime skips these stuff)

Oshi ga budoukan ittekuretara shinu has some strong subtext and a lesbian couple who is already canon (and they're too cute, my heart can't take it).But what I love the most about the anime is the fans' reactions, it's way too pure. I mean there are a lot of (good) idol animes but this one is refreshing. From the two episodes that already came out, it seems like the relationship between the fans and the idols will be the main focus, without making the plot too heavy, and I don't think I've ever seen an anime dealing with this kind of subject or making it the main plot. And by the way, I want to stan ChamJam now, they're so cute and precious and the opening is good, I hope we'll get the chance to listen to a whole song from the group. Anyway, the anime is promising, I'm really looking forward to the next episodes.

They're gays Harold.

Asteroids in Love also keeps jumping over the boundary of "super friends" and thanks to Oneechan experiment, we can confirm that Ao is pretty gay for Mira.

Also this character https://myanimelist.net/character/169040/Mai_Inose is just https://myanimelist.net/character/69505/Kokona_Aoba but older lo/

But is not all great, I think the best fried Moe should really really calm down with her perverted reactions... Because compared to the rest of the cast she's too "loud"

I'm sure Mira's onee-chan can help calm her down.

Channeling her inner Mya-nee.

I didn't have much expectations for Show by Rock but... It's adorable! LIKE SUPER ADORABLE! that second half of ep02

Anyone interested in Oshi ga Budoukan? I watched episode 1 without really knowing what it was about, and was really surprised: it looked totally yuri! The two main characters, a minor idol and her dedicated fan, seem to have passionate feelings for each other, but, because they are useless lesbians very conscious of the taboo that says it's wrong for an idol and a fan to become too close, they don't cross the line.

Then I tried to find more info and it turned out that this anime is an adaptation of an ongoing manga by HIRAO AURI.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There goes any hope that something yuri may develop in this story. >_<

They're gays Harold.

Seem yuri enough to me already

Well I hope this series doesn't end with "The best way to support her career is to let her go... :') Because Idols belong to everyone" THE END

Hope springs eternal.
But Auri Hirao is bad news.

I looked it up in mangaupdates.com and Oshi ga Budoukan Itte Kuretara Shinu is tagged as Comedy, Drama, Seinen and Slice of Life. Other series by Auri (like Manga no Tsukurikata) are tagged Yuri or Shoujo Ai, but this one doesn't have those tags. Even after 6 volumes.

The anime will probably be a fun watch, yuri or no yuri, but I won't set my expectations for romance too high.

Ohmahgod Manga no Tsukurikata! that wreck! now I remember why the name Auri Hirao triggered a feeling of danger, dread and doom... :((

The subtext in Show by Rock is so cute hahahaha the new cat (or Retoree 2.0) is sooooo cute around the protagonist, she can't even keep her cool face when she's too close.
I thought ep03 would be all about the boys band but they put a lot of the girls side here and there so yeah WATCH IT

And the ED has some fluffy tail action
