To be Hero X is getting some cool fanart
>>9732I actually like that, maybe I should watch s2 after all. I usually hate "draw girl, call it a boy" characters because they're such an obvious attempt of creators wanting to eat a cake and have it.

>>9737I didn't think I'd enjoy it this much, definitely a season favorite. It's a manic mix of plot from BnHA, Tiger & Bunny with the violence of The Boys and yet, it's got heart. It's from the creator of Link Click and his filmography is pretty homo. I actually want to check out To be Hero and To be Heroine.

>>9729I love Damepri, but your mileage will vary. It has a female protagonist who acts as the common sense straight man calling everyone out on their shit, and helping them to resolve diplomatic disasters as the only person with brains. There's a cutesy pink mascot creature that helps the one time but mostly eats apples. However, as a fujoshi, it's got quite some things going for it. For starters, all of the guys are undesirably stupid for the MC, she can't possibly marry any of them, they are nightmare fuel manchildren who need babysitting, and that's deeply unsexy to her. Her childhood friend has a far better chance of meeting her standards. Most of the guys she meets have a connection to another guy who is easily shipped with him. Narek has ~~his father~~ Riot, the serious knight assigned to keep him from getting himself killed, as well as Vino, his childhood friend who has a better head on his shoulders but would rather flirt around. Ruze has both his shut-in depression-anxietycore brother Mare and his sado-masochist PM Chrom. The guards under Riot can appear close, though I particularly liked the one in a relationship with a pigeon and the one who appears perpetually tired and anxious. There were more side character things going on with older men and Chrom's young priests, but basically, MC and her mother aside, everything is dudes conversing with dudes and being absurd about it. It helps that all the fanservice is focused on the guys, with pinup eyecatches in each episode, one ep devoted to age regression trope, another where everyone is naked while trying to solve something. If you can stand a female protag then it's a fun time.

>>9739Strikethrough formatting didn't work again, boo. Might as well add that Narek and Vino come across as the most heterosexual (not counting Mare's magical girl waifu puppet obsession, but he pretty much states that 3DPD and he won't accept real women. Also MC's childhood friend who has actually been asking her out for years, but he doesn't have an obvious male ship to sink with that). Narek however is THE most manchild of them all, him blushing at a girl is easily hand waved as him not having any experience of anything. Vino on the other hand plays around, so he has no sense of commitment and is only trying to amuse himself and tease information from people. The only person he is committed to is Narek, despite Narek's total retardation and extreme vanity.
Also Chrom is just too much. Even with what he does at the end of the show there's no way that was all an act, he's so into it. He wants to get stepped on by shota 100%.

>>9855I wonder if the show's viewership dropped massively or increased after the introduction to this character. I know lots of s1 fans who were there for just the shounen fights and have a peculiar taste incompatible with actual gay stuff.

>>9857I wish I knew as well. Would be interesting to see stats for Golden Kamuy too. Albeit historical seinen are more likely read by a whole different demographic. I doubt that there are many het male anons who are still watching Wind Breaker and Kowloon by now but image boards aren't very accurate representations of the audience as a whole.
No.10078
>>9741Finished Damepri and it was pretty cute and funny. Mare and Narek were my favorites and I like the episode where they go to the fashion village and gain a mutual respect for each other.
Probably my favorite pair of the show if I'm being honest though Narek and Vino would be interesting in a post-canon setting after the foiled invasion. I'm sad the game doesn't exist anymore and there's no fan translation/summaries of the routes the advertisement worked and I want more.
>>9740>Also Chrom is just too much. Even with what he does at the end of the show there's no way that was all an act, he's so into it. He wants to get stepped on by shota 100%.Chrom came off as easily the gayest, sexually harassing castle staff, and being way way too into poor innocent Ruze.
I just know the moment at the end where Ruze asks him to atone by continuing to aid him he probably squealed like a schoolgirl offscreen. No.10218
>>9590>Why do modern anime viewers do this? Missy, I'm probably older than you! And it was just one episode. I resented picking up a show for the boys getting very close, just for the MC to be much more emotionally afflicted by the girl. Granted it makes sense considering what's happening to her, but I just find that level of emotion to be reserved for your 'one and only'.
>>9494Same. They should make it a threesome. But I don't want Rihito to end up with the girl anyway lel
Have you guys watched the live action trailers? They're really good and good lord they got a hottie for Franken with those muscles woof.

First time in ages I've been interested in currently airing anime. Going to watch Osan 4 and Panty and Stocking 2. Also rewatching Ef.
Anyone else watching anything seasonal right now?

>>10595That's unfortunate! It was on my radar for anime to check out this season (I've only been keeping up with Hikaru), but I have yet to watch any Boueibu despite it being on my list for a while
When I do start watching, which series/seasons would you recommend most? I for sure want to see the original but beyond that I'm unsure how much my desire for CBDCT can carry entire anime
No.10610
>>10602At least for me Season 1 and 2 were the only good ones, and the movie. Happy Kiss started strong but had too much MOTW and the ending fell really flat. But it's best to try it and decide for yourself if you want to continue it, because it's just my opinion.

to reach godhood for some reason, and I want to know more, since he's likely
tied to the same cult as Zero's .
Anyways, the gay twink going insane is kind of a given from ep 1. Still very enjoyable though.
