@MacySan

That is is true. But, I'm an optimist, so I think there is room for their relationship to expand even if it means having to resort to fanfics; I mean, for now it's all but confirmed that Eins has feelings for Nya and the latter feels regret for the past, so there's enough potential for them to get together out of trying to make-up for the past and moving on into the future.

Though, with the current state of things, I would actually prefer the anime conclude on the pairings being canon but not necessarily progressing past what it is now. From a writing perspective, it allows for greater freedom in thinking on how the pairings can develop further; for example, one of the ideas that I have for an Alma x Solfina story is having Alma taste Solfina's blood and developing a new liking for it that is much greater than her liking for Saya's blood.

Personally, I think the freedom of being able to create my own scenarios and headcanons to be a much more fulfilling experience than having things stated outright in the anime. But on the inverse side I can see where you are coming from in that the harem-ish aspect of the anime, while amusing in it's own right, wasn't exactly needed and it would be much better to see the main cast x EXR pairings be established further.

^ Indeed

So apparently, binge watching Act One of Carmilla S3 before Act Two is nearing is a terrible idea...

Good news: MATTIE IS BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!! and she's not on the side of The Dean thankfully
Bad news: Act One concludes right when Mattie appears behind Carm...2 weeks of waiting...

Imokay....I'm completely, perfectly okay...

^ Indeed, Nya is the only member that didn't have Saya being an intergral "pillar" to the success of her battle with Eins nor needed Saya to help realize what she had to do, which was a refreshing change of pace.

Hmm...I never thought about the backstory from that angle lol, I liked the backstory because it fits into Nya's character personality thematically, and it gave the battle an emotional context without having Nya go through the same situations that the other girls face. Thinking about it now, it frames Nya as a character that was much more mature than the other girls in that she already experienced such losses (betraying Eins and having to leave her behind) and somewhat got over it, but she was still aware of the mistakes that she made back then as compared to the other girls.

Also, I'm glad to know that I wasn't only one that thought they had the most "unique" chemistry of all the pairings; Eins and Nya's relationship was something that stood out in that it wasn't explained why was Eins so fixated on Nya. And the way their dialogue played out, particularly from Eins, was so flirtatious that it seems like there is some low-key romantic tension between them. Interestingly to note, Eins is the only Ouroboros Darkness affected EXR member that actually placed her "destroy the world" mission as something secondary to her battle with Nya, and since it has been established that the darkness amplifies the host's inner desires and how her dialogue actually got more flirtatious in the battle, I think there's a really high chance that Eins is in love with Nya.

I personally just hope that Nya and Eins will have a longer "closure" scene next week, if time provides for it and Aoi (the last remaining EXR) doesn't immediately attack the crystal +/- base.

^ It's a small company, and the boss is just some nice old guy ^ _ ^

Still, long way to go from here, hope things maintains at this pace

^ freedom of time is a form of payment too ^ - ^

On another note, I am sitting around in a cafe waiting for the boss to fetch me to go observe rounds...I hope things continue like this lol

I wish I was paid for nothing :(

can't even be bothered for job sekers >_>

I am just doing intern work lol, not a real job. The actual work here is much more taxing.

time for another day of getting paid for doing absolutely nothing, yay

random song for everyone~

^ Ultimate Luck often comes with Ultimate Bad Luck prior to luck kicking in :/ but yeah, it's rather great ^ O ^

It seems I am getting paid for literally doing nothing all day…minus the crap working environment, I might've actually hit a jackpot here

Well, this was really cute. I love these types of pics lol

Im literally sitting around and doing nothing atm, its rather great if I ignore the centuries old building and occasional roach moving around.

Also best girl and potential couple got only one episode, while some other more boring girls got two episodes. So dissappointing.

Forgot to reply to this, good to see that someone else see how great Nya and Nya x Eins is. Tbh, as much I wish she gets 2 eps like everyone, it makes sense that her "arc" is only one ep because she was always the most stable of the group.

Plus, all the other girls got curbstomped by their EXR counterparts, physically and emotionally, and required another ep to stop/placate them but Nya managed to defeat Eins in 1 ep, showing how vastly disproportionate her true power rank was to everyone else: likely at least a UR rank considering Eins had her power boosted by the Ouroboros Darkness.

My detailed thoughts on the ep is here if you are interested in reading.

Yes, generally for IM@S it is an idol anime; the Cinderella Girls adapatation did a good job in showing the girls work towards being idols though iirc.

^ Saki, Girls und Panzer, IM@S, those along the lines of what you're looking for?

^ It does have a manga, but the plot is roughly the same as the anime until the twins escapes from the compound

And great, now I'm going to end up listening to this song all day again...

^ Indeed, it'd be unfortunate for her to die like this...

Watching Pupa is like a rough equivalent of being slowly disamblowed for me.

This is extremly hilarious when you remember what Pupa is basically about. But eh, the manga wasn't all that better, the whole thing reminds me of some B-movie.

@Galich The OVA was great, but the anime version wasn't that good.

And lol, I must be the only one that actually liked Pupa, it wasn't really bad to me, think I enjoyed it iirc. Also, @Utopia, you just reminded me of a song that Ive not heard in a long while, thanks :)

@ZR Tbh, the most prominent thing I took away from Sakura Trick is that Kotone's seiyuu, Aisaka Yuuka is an amazing seiyuu + singer and looks stunningly beautiful. Still, it was a good anime and was cute.

As for my least fav anime...I'd say Yuuki Yuuna, bloody waste of time watching and I would've prefered seeing everyone live forever without functions than that BS "Happy End" crap that the final 2 eps threw out; never once have I felt more rage from watching something.

^ I've not got around to comparing ep 2 but ep 1 has some noticably better sound quality along with some new scenes which frames the plot a bit more and gives it context.

and a dumb NSFW harem with an incest ending I can't remember the name.

Yosuga no Sora? :-) I absolutely enjoyed that one purely for the Sora route, actually the only reason Yosuga is worth watching is for Sora's arc.

...which reminds me that I never got around to completing the Sora route in the VN...

Also, I really never got what is with the anime community's fascination and hate for Boku no Pico, it wasn't even that bad.

I guess that's understandable then lol. I was going into it already being a huge fan of the manga and wanting to see how it'll be adapted.

Oh and, Kurosaki Maon did an amazing job with all of the ending themes; "Kimi to taiyou ga shinda hi", the ending for ep 1 still gives me the chills to this day due to how tense the situation was when it played
