The one in particular that you brought up is how much the girls don’t want to be too muscular, but rather just slim.

I haven’t seen this show but isn’t this just realistic? Most woman just don’t want to be ripped or bulky. The real danger is woman thinking they are definitely going to be all buff if they work out, and thus not working out or doing sports. And not doing any of that is not good for your health. Woman should know that gaining significant muscle mass is already hard for men, let alone woman, so they can work out safely without worrying too much. As long as you don’t hop on the juice and/or devote your life to the gym.

I mean, her role is to absorb damage for the party, muscles are kind of a prerequisite.

It’s a show with magic and stuff, so I don’t think that holds. Reasoning the other way around, if it would hold, then given her appearance Darkness shouldn’t have the physical ability that she indeed has.

Chobits sound interesting, I’ll add it to my watch list.

Gintama and City, hopefully 2025 is the return of good anime. Gintama and Nichijou are my only 10/10 anime so hopefully these new titles are really good.

without moe i would have yeeted myself off of building already lol

happy moe day

I have been watching Sayonara Zetsubou sensei lately. Also Pani Poni Dash! is an interesting watch.

• Hidamari Sketch
• Lucky Star
• Non Non Biyori
• Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou
• Gochuumon wa Usagi desuka?
• Tanaka kun wa Itsumo Kedaruge

Hidamari Sketch is very underrated and is much less well known than it’s contemporaries like Lucky Star, but it’s basically the comfiest thing ever. Any CGDCT/SOL could work for this (Nichijou, Yuyushiki, Kiniro Mozaiku, K-ON!, …) but I specifically chose shows with a slower tempo.

I watched a whole show (shikanoko) this season. So yea banger season, almost never happens lol.

Interesting mix of western and eastern calligraphy in the title. They do connect strokes within characters and also between characters (especially in kana shodo), but those flourishes are definitely western.

Me realizing I will be gin-chan’s age not so far into the future (where did the time go):

Also don’t you dare be single if you are a day older than 25 in anime lol.

I thought so, they are probably just milking the popular title with this new stuff.

Crazy, Fairy Tail above nokotan. Sometimes I forget how action brained the average anime fan is. I watched all of FT before this release and I remember nothing from the last 50% of it. I guess they fought a lot or something lol.

As a slice of life guy I don’t really watch long anime anymore. Years ago, Jojos was the last one over 100 ep that I saw. The longest slice of life anime I have seen is the terrific and absolute classic “Hidamari Sketch” coming in at a bit over 60 eps.

Let’s all love Lain!

You are probably referring to Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou. There are a lot of SOL anime so I got to choose something. Personally I think it is pretty good but not as good as some other anime that I would recommend over it. As well as the fact that Bocchi the Rock has a mostly female cast so I unconsciously selected anime that are similar in that regard. If OP wants to try something with a large male cast this is the only anime I can think of that would be fitting so it’s good that you mention it.

What is similar? Does it need to be a band anime? Does it require social anxiety characters? Just cute girls doing cute things (CGDCT) in general? Have yuri elements?

• slice of life (SOL) with characters playing in a band: K-ON! (band aspect is secondary)
• SOL with anxious main character: Hitori Bocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu
• general SOL/CGDCT classics: Lucky Star, Nichijou, Azumanga Daioh
• more modern SOL/CGDCT: Kiniro Mosaic, Gochuumon wa Usagi desuka?
• SOL with yuri: Hidamari Sketch (moderate, also a classic), Yuyushiki (lots)

edit: I personally don’t think that Bocchi the Rock! is super laid back, but if you compare it to action shows it obviously is. If you really want to go the laid back route you can look into the genre Iyashikei (“healing type”) with anime such as Non Non Biyori, Yuru Camp (still have to watch this one so can’t verify personally but is very popular) and Yokohama Kaidaishi Kikou (absolute classic).

Maybe they can pull a fucking Gintama action and just show the story board and have the characters tell the viewers that the animators didn’t make the deadline :)

Favorite is tough is choose. But I think Hiiragi Tsukasa has the most moe for me.

The anime doesn’t have to be good, it just has to make you interested in the lightnovel, which is where the profits are. With that in mind, the cheaper the anime can be produced the better. This is probably why there are so many shitty isekai and they keep coming.

Finished Pani Poni Dash and Serial Experiments Lain, started Minami-ke.

Oh yea direct twitter links are crap (they never worked well for me tbh). Pixiv is also not possible. I think a lot of sites try to discourage people from using their CDN as a means to deliver content to third party websites.
