I often have to make figures that end up in regulatory filings submitted to the FDA and EMA for work. So, I am a big fan of sticking to conventions when it comes to these kinds of things. Straying often just means that the agencies ask questions that get you the wrong kind of noticed by everybody else on the team.
I manually enable any shows that people mention wanting to check out in the general discussion thread previewing the upcoming season. Fall’s thread can be found here.
You can always check to see if the bot has a show enabled on this wiki page (in the top section of enabled shows), which is automatically kept up to date. If you would like a show to be marked enabled that has yet to have an episode air, then you can always reach out to me as well.
I don’t have too much to write about this week that I didn’t include in the meta post above. I have been absolutely slammed with work, but I managed to catch up on a bit of backlog and watch the finales for a couple shows:
I am going to try to catch up on Spice and Wolf while I wait for Fall shows to kick off, though I am not sure how far I will be able to get due to time constraints.
Just as a side meta comment, during this past week I haven’t been able to be as responsive to comments/posts as I have in the past. I think it is a good sign that there is enough activity in this community as well as [email protected] that my inbox can look like this after just a couple days:
Keep it up everybody and I apologize if you feel like I have ignored you. I just haven’t had the time recently.
Frieren season 2 was expected. Wistoria’s announcement makes sense because it just finished airing. It is these random announcements that allow me to hold out hope for some of my favorite series of the past that never got another season.
I was never in any doubt that there would be a season 2. I guess if you aren’t going to announce right away, the next best time would be the 1-year anniversary. Excellent news that it is going to stick with Madhouse. I hope that they are able to bring in a lot of the talent that made the first season what it is.
I had noticed Ruby, but thought the other reflection was of Gorou, but it makes more sense that it is Aqua. What a great adaptation this has been…
Yeah, other than Oshi no Ko, this is probably my favorite of the season.
Just wrapped up this show after binging the last couple episodes and thought it deserved a post for the finale.
I am frankly shocked at how this series ended. Not because there was some big twist or reveal, but that it ended literally in the middle of a boss fight. I can’t think of any other show that has ended its run this way. It is immensely frustrating. I doubt this will be getting a season 2, which just adds to the frustration with the way it ended. Like…seriously?
Nikola remains very cute though and was the highlight of the show for me… @[email protected]
Well, the finale was nothing flashy, just more fun bopping around the dungeon with Clay and Belle as they explore food and eating in the dungeon (fitting since Clay’s VA also voices Marcille from Delicious in Dungeon). I kind of doubt this show will ever get a season 2, but if it does, I will be there. I ended up enjoying this way more than I thought I would. I would love if we got more info about Clay’s father and/or Belle’s predecessor. @[email protected]
Yeah, this is pretty much what you might expect. They don’t really reinvent the wheel with this series. I have read most of the manga and this matches up with my recollection (I am 200+ chapters in, so it’s been a while since chapter 1). The keen-eyed among you might have gotten a hint of the kind of story it would be in the very beginning of the episode since he is reading Arifureta Vol. 1 when he is at his desk:
I probably won’t stick with this show for the whole season, but had time to check out this first episode to see how the adaptation went. Overall, it was nothing special, but not horrible either. Pretty much what we would expect from a show like this one. @[email protected]
They are almost definitely adapting the manga. I haven’t read the novel, but having read most of the manga and watching the first episode, they match up pretty closely and I don’t remember anything like you describe in the manga. It is a pretty safe, by-the-books isekai.
My personal favorites of hers are the Lycoris Recoil ED and the My Hero Academia ED. My favorite of her non-anime work is Anonymous.
You might want to check out last week’s general discussion thread that was the Fall preview thread. Lots of good answers there! I am most looking forward to Dan Da Dan and Orb: On the Movements of the Earth.
You’re right. When I initially wrote this up, I didn’t yet see it pop up in HiDive for me, so I figured it must be similar to Nokotan from last season. Instead, it seems like it was only delayed a short time instead of a week like I had initially thought. I will edit the comment.
You might be wondering why this post exists when you can’t find it available to stream anywhere yet. Well, it goes live on certain streaming services (in Japan only I believe) a week prior to being released globally. In past seasons, what this means is that posts created by the bot on the streaming release timeline are likely to lay fallow for several days (until fansubs go live) prior to anybody in this community being able to watch and comment.
So, going forward, I am going to mark this show as disabled in the bot’s database. This means that posts will not be automatically created. Instead, the posts can be requested by users by private messaging the bot. This is what was done last season for the early episodes of Nokotan until the episode discussion threads were taken over by [email protected].
If you have any questions or issues, feel free to reach out to me or make a reply to this comment. Thanks for bearing with the limitations of the api the bot uses when it comes to edge cases like this!
This show has been an incredible mess of a situation from beginning to end. So, I guess it is no surprise that the finale has not resolved anything whatsoever. It is fitting that they are all just wallowing in an indecisive smoothie of misery that is entirely self-made. It is exactly like Naori said:
Honestly, I kind of want nobody to “win” and for them all to just grow up and find other romantic interests in their lives. I mean the professor or this chess senpai both seem to be able to hang with Naori’s quick wit, so why not give it a shot? As things are now, I expect a world of drama and pain in Jun’s future. There will be lots of this going forward (@[email protected]):
I looked it up and there is more story to go, but I am not sure I can bring myself to continue this one. So, this will forever remain an unresolved pot of love pasta in my brain.
I think the pretty clear stopping point is going to be up through chapter 80 of the manga (maybe rearranged slightly). I really, really want this show to come back soon. Here’s hoping for an announcement after the finale.
You chose two fantastic shows to catch up on. LycoReco really surprised me. I didn’t really have many expectations going in, but I ended up really, really liking it. I cannot wait to see what the LycoReco Cafe is cooking up next. I too want to see what is going on with the LIlyBell group.
As for Oshi no Ko, I couldn’t control myself and binged the manga after the first season. Now I have to wait in pain for each new chapter to come out. I feel like this season in particular has really taken the adaptation to a whole new level.
