It was about time to get Mono in here. Kinda sad that An's crush on Satsuki became irrelevant so fast.

^Yeah sadly the crush aspect felt like it was dropped faster than someone grabbing a cup of hot chocolate by the base cup instead of the handle

^ Feels like it dropped with the photography/cinephoto club aspect, which I wished were focused on more. I'm not a fan at all of the recent episode all about the mangaka ladies, I started this anime for the cinephoto club girls damnit!
This anime could've been an easy AOTS for me but I think that title goes to HibiMeshi for me now.

^I think that's fair to say, I'm not enjoying it as much as Yuru Camp sadly. Yeah the mangaka characters feel like their own series or at least characters that would get their own short spin-off bonuses. It's a cute series but it definitely feels unfocused and the photography/cinema angle needs more of a priority. There's a few shows I'm enjoying more this season, such as Apocalypse Hotel, along with HibiMeshi as you mentioned.

@FluffyCow @Perlen297 It feels like the author is self inserting to share some experiences as a mangaka. I'm not against it, but to deviate that much from the premise of the series is quite disappointing. I was expecting more from Mono. There's still enough episodes left to go back in the track though!

First time I see someone mentioning Apocalypse Hotel. Very interesting world building. The expectations are much different than what you will see in the show. The further the series go, the more noticeble Arawi's influence is. 0% chance of yuri so far.

^Yeah Mono often deviating so far from it's main premise is definitely disappointing.
Also Arawi being the creator of Nichijou I assume? Yeah I can definitely see that influence on Apocalypse Hotel lol

How could you all not notice that Mono from the very first chapter/episode is Afro's (the author) effort to use their already gathered data for Yuru Camp as another money-making product.

Also, please watch Maebashi Witches.
It's unlike your usual idol anime. It's Wonder Egg Priority if it were done right.

Well I love Afro's work in general, especially Yuru Camp, so I don't want to give them so little credit here even if I don't love Mono as much as Yuru Camp.
Also oh? That's an interesting statement since I think the first maybe 6 episodes of WEP were solid and interesting, and despite the writing falling off a cliff in every regard at least the animation was still good throughout the whole show from what I remember. I watched 3 episodes of Maebashi Witches and dropped it because I had some problems with the writing, and the visuals + animation were maybe serviceable at best in my opinion, so now I'm curious of Maebashi Witches got very good after I dropped it. WEP but done right sounds like a minimum 9/10, that's a high bar to reach.
Part of the whole tragedy of WEP for me is that the series had potential to raise awareness around teen suicide, bullying, as well as LGBT topics, and it sadly crashed and burned on all fronts by the end due to how nonsense the story became. I think for me WEP but done right would have to really hit a home run with these topics.

^^^I noticed that, but I had high expectations regardless. Yuru Camp got popular for what it is, so it's fair to assume that Mono would have the same overall quality.
^^I'm also watching it! Another one that I don't see being mentioned that often. Maybe if I manage to get one image of it uploaded in the next batch we can get other users interested in it. And yeah, it really is kinda like WEP but done right.
^"WEP done right" is more about the structure of the series, "working together to gather points to get one wish fulfilled" basically. Maebashi Witches was able too keep its quality so far, that's why I agree with it being WEP done right. But WEP had much more potential, easily.

^That's fair I think, I was curious since I think WEP if done right could mean a lot of different things depending on who you ask. Also maybe I'll pick up Maebashi Witches again at some point, and I want to say while the series didn't click for me I don't mean to knock other people enjoying it either. I'm glad to see two people here are enjoying the series.

^If you need a push for Maebashi Witches: 2 characters have heavily implied reciprocal feelings.
On the topic of series that are not mentioned enough, anyone watching Zatsu Tabi?
