The impression I get is that the JP audience is almost entirely straight girls, and the story shifted to accommodate this after the first major arc

That's some grip strength

This is not a development I expected, but I think I'm okay with it

Not a particularly interesting motive, but seeing a horse wield a spear was fantastic

Well, now I want to see Tilty and Lanie get together

Uh, 'uchi' is a personal pronoun. You use it to refer to yourself. It's more feminine than masculine, but I've definitely come across male characters using it

We're getting a second season in January, and I don't think the current arc has the potential to last for the whole thing. Plenty of time for things to get wild

I swear I've read this before

~I'll assume this is NOT how the anime ended?

This exact scene wasn't there, but we did get these two acting like dorks, and they did end up in Hawaii

tfw i can’t even read the whole title on mobile

Doesn't fit on desktop either

^From a quick look up it seems that Shiver refers to herself by the feminine pronoun "uchi" in Japanese so I suspect you've been had.

'Uchi' isn't gendered

Something I'd note is that once you get out of the realm of harem power fantasies, Japanese productions in general don't feel the need to shove in a romance subplot the way American ones tend to. 'We'll just leave it implied' is something I've seen happen to het pairings, too

Shokei Shoujo didn't really live up even to the manga version

...I can sorta understand preferring the manga version, but the anime version is objectively better. The manga tried to turn it into a more grandiose, high fantasy story, but it was never meant to be that and ended up becoming incoherent in the process

I doubt there will be any harem etc. because game never forces all their characters to be in love with Doctor and instead let them just be themselves

I mean, the trailer did have everyone talking up the Doctor

Still got plenty coming up. And Birdie Wing S1, Machikado S2, and MagiReco S3 were also this year

Reading those last two posts is whiplash-inducing. Goddamn

Personally, I rather liked LycoReco, but it felt a bit neutered by wanting to be able to make a sequel. No major changes to the status quo occur

So, uh, Arknights anime in about a month. The player-character stand-in here is... probably intended to be androgynous, but has a female seiyuu

Not familiar enough with the game to say much beyond that, though

Why are they so wet? Are they having cookies and milk in the rain?

Chisato's not dead yet

Less likely to be Kson joining VShojo and more that Kson has a known mailing address

They apparently remain on good terms, but they do seem to have picked up other love interests

I'm kinda curious about what inspired them to draw Cynthia x Dawn now

The remakes are still less than a year old. Could well have just gotten around to them

That was the original version of the fairy tale

On page 4 both of them have a very distinct shape in their eyes: an image of something. But I can't make out what.

It's just fancy shading. Not terribly unusual eye designs for anime-style

kyou mou kawaii

*chiisai

*kowai

Also read the spinoff light novel, super gay, super down bad Takina

Wait, it's out? And translated?

XC3 has an incredible number of viable yuri ships. Which is surprising given how heteronormative certain parts of the premise are

I'd be kinda surprised if they actually go for the tragedy ending. Takina is actively looking for a solution and there's that suspicious looking briefcase. And with the kind of storytelling we've had so far, I don't it see pulling a bait and switch
