Finished the Wolf's Rain OVAs tonight and completed the series. Was a bit of a roller coaster of a show, very strong start but I ended up ultimately not clicking with the worldbuilding. Ah well, the characters were all good and they carried the show even when I didn't like where the plot ultimately went.

Not sure what to watch next, thinking either Erased or Darker than Black.

Finished it and I think I agree. Both the car and rooftop scenes are pretty compelling, however I feel like the show just ends? Like it felt like a longer show that had 3 episodes to finish up. Would have liked to have a little more breathing room for the post coma stuff or maybe just a little more time after he's revealed as the killer, maybe some POV stuff or something? it just is paced a little wonky.

Good overall though I'm not complaining. Now off to read the doujins!

I started some first episodes of this new season.
Goumon Baito-kun no Nichijou: The dynamic between these initial four guys is quite promising. The first two are relaxed and a bit sassy due to their senpai-kouhai status and adding the cutesy legal shota and the shy giant gives you a bunch of combinations in which these guys can bounce off of each other.
Arne no Jikenbo: I enjoy detective shows so I will usually try them out on principle. The protagonists have cute character designs and I like the vibes of the setting. It gets kinda chuuni but I'm into that.
Odayaka Kizoku no Kyuuka no Susume: It's kind of unusual to see an isekai that doesn't involve our world and instead transports a fantasy guy into a different fantasy world. I get the impression that this is going to be cozy and I'm looking forward to that. Also seems like this will have a nice variety of male characters.

 No.12552

I was randomly inspired to check out Osomatsu-san and see if its reputation held up since I'm a fan of comedy anime, even though the designs filter me from any fujo potential. The parodies were pretty funny, but the ikemen voices are at such odds with most of the muppets and I'm not a fan of their personalities so far, especially the chuuni guy. The comedy is also hit-or-miss. I ended up checking out the 80s Osomatsu-kun to compare and I'm enjoying everything about it a lot more. Even though the Matsus don't have distinct personalities they're more endearing. Whenever I'm a bit sick of modern anime tropes, older anime is always refreshing.

 No.12553

>>12552
Interesting, are you going to check out the 60s series as well? I personally liked the style of humor in San more and the defined personalities but they are so different in their humor they aren't really comperable and it makes perfect sense to like on and not the other.

 No.12559

>>12553
>Interesting, are you going to check out the 60s series as well?
If I can find it I will, but I haven't had any luck so far.
I love Gintama so it's a bit strange that many series by the same director keep missing the mark for me. It seems like Gintama must have been the best fit for his style, because it doesn't totally work in Osomatsu-san (and Boueibu's quality seriously dipped after the second season)

 No.12560

>>12552
I consider myself an osomatsu-san fan but even so I agree that the humor doesn't always land. The latest season in particular had some really terrible skits that stretched out a joke that was already unfunny to begin with.

 No.12578

>>12559
Would be interested what you think of Charisma, I've seen a few people come away saying it's similar to Osomatsu-san's humor but I think it's got inherently better chances at consistent characterization. Doesn't move the setting around as much as Osomatsu-san or Gintama, so gags mostly stem from character traits rather than introducing outside concepts.

Blue Period nonna replied first so I've started that one, I'll watch Sengoku next.

Right now I like MC how self-conscious and realistic he is about his art skills. When I was younger I used to draw for fun, but once I hit high school I realized that my art was shit compared to all the online artists I looked up to so I just stopped altogether. Now I wish I'd stuck with it, guess I find him admirable for that reason. haha

I love the new Samurai Troopers series. That's how you do reverse isekai - with demon hordes at the gates, Demon Prince being an idolfag (greatest hits of the 80s only) rebelling against Daddy, zombies (PUPPETS), Sakura Taisen special-purpose trains and saving/ruining the day by SINGING.
The saddest bit - isekaifags will not eat this up.

I don't really care for isekai, just not a genre I consume but I don't mind it, however I started watching Easygoing Territory Defense by the Optimistic Lord just cuz the MC was a shota and he has a shota friend. It's fun for now but holy hell, I wasn't expecting this in just episode 2 lol

There's a non-isekai fantasy anime about a blind shota airing right now that I looked into before the current season started. While browsing through the first few manga chapters to check it out, though, it seemed like it was pretty hetero and I got disappointed.

Unless you mean gay shota, then no. It's probably the most common type of protagonist in the last few years because for some reason WN authors love writing that eight-year-olds are in charge of their own duchy and entrusted with political/economic/military decisions.

It's a newbie-friendly sequel.

Funny how Gai tends to sing songs out of context, which infuses the show with homolust.

>Don't take off my sailor uniform / Not now, you must be patient / Don't take off my sailor uniform / No, I won't let you, not here

I want to see him crossdress kek.

>The silver rocket I sent you / Now holds someone else's photo / Well then, while you embrace that one / Laugh at this sad love affair / Tearful Request, Final Request for you

As he chops off limbs of pretty boys, making him look like a yandere.

>In the locker room sheltering from the rain, you hung your head slightly / And said we could never go back / What could I have said to you, so painfully sincere / With the wind lodged in your eyes

What a gay song.

Another Ne Zha fan!! The second movie was so excellent! I can't wait for the third!

>The yaoibait is actually insane though. Very good movies for fujos.

The Chinese fujos for this movie have a third eye + galaxy brain for their ship-tism. For example, after the first movie, the CN fujos began to design how Ao Guang would look and started creating a backstory all based on Chinese myth. The pre-NZ2 Ao Guang fan design looks uncanny like the official one too.

Since the dragons were betrayed by Heaven, the fujos decided that the head of the heaven pantheon (emperor of heaven) would be the one who had an affair with Ao Guang, and later Ao Guang would leave him. It's all so dramatic and has a good taste of edge, but surprisingly it's the second most popular pairing in the Ne Zha movies. Leave it to fujos to create an entirely new character to ship kek

The third movie is going to be so hype. I need to livewatch it somehow with other fujos.

>the fujos decided that the head of the heaven pantheon (emperor of heaven) would be the one who had an affair with Ao Guang, and later Ao Guang would leave him

Their minds. The creativity. We are evolving as a species. Okay but seriously though, I also thought about how Ao Guang's human form had to be handsome while watching NZ1. Very satisfied at what he looked like in NZ2. Fuck I love the dragon boy and his dad. I also thought the furry demons were cute af.

Anon who has been watching 80s Osomatsu-kun. Fujo stuff was the furthest thing from my mind so when Chibita accidentally kissed Osomatsu in that one episode it was a jumpscare. But then I thought about it, and you know what? Would ship it, actually. It's enemies to lovers that would cause Romeo and Juliet 2.0 levels of family drama. I would pay to see that play out.
And Chibita is actually a catch. He's best friends with stray cats and is surprisingly smooth on a date. He's way out of the Matsus' league, but that's okay.
…Anyway, still wouldn't be my weirdest/most cartoonishly ugly ship.

I've started Betterman…and it's unbearable. Specifically, the MC who is a grating klutz with ADHD and inability to shut up for 5 seconds. This is not funny. There is nothing 'relatable' about this kind of chara. No wonder this show is forgotten - even the darkish atmosphere couldn't save it.

I'm sad that he's gotten zero screentime since the first two episodes, oh well…

This anime still gives me a warm/fuzzy feeling after each episode. The characters are really sweet and thank god the MC isn't another edgelord.
