It has not clicked with me at all

best thing I've ever written

thank you devtesla for writing dungeon meshi

i'm gonna invoke something horrible here so i'm sorry in advance: it hits the same note as the best parts of harry potter. i think it's the worldbuilding: you've written a world, with all of the little tiny details, creating a vivid place such that you want to put yourself in the characters' shoes. kui ryoko arguably did it better than the risible person responsible for harry potter, obviously without all of the baggage so that's very nice.

(in fact you could argue that kui ryoko has the inverse of "baggage" with regard to that topic specifically)

frieren rules. it's boring in a soothing way, just kinda hitting the same emotional beats over and over, before eventually doing something cool and you're like YEAH!! THIS IS THE BEST

i felt so, so betrayed by charlotte (and the 2016 special was. all i actually remember aside from the bad feelings is nao tomori yelling at a child on someone's front yard, and) that i only have unkind words about it

but folks seem to have fond thoughts about it, don't they. i can't really begrudge that. that show really, really, really could've been something, no? aaaaagh

"bravely you" by lia is just excellent though

its literally the future today.

the pinnacle of human achievement is being able to click on a button and get curry rice. and also not having to wipe like a cave person

sometimes i see a cool thing from japan and i'm like"you know what? weebs are right. japan IS cool and probably has no problems"

damn i want udon from a vending machine....

apparently they are a thing, yes

are there vending machine enthusiasts? that sounds cool someone tell me about the vending machine subculture

DUNGEON MESHI.... OHHH DUNGEON MESHI

IM SO STOKED AAAAA

so many genders in that show

they did ok with little witch academia so i have hope

thank you for making them promise i am honestly a bit worried

FINALLY AAAAAAAAA

TIME TO GO FULL ANIME

second

two good posts

god i love how the art is just slightly reminiscent enough of wood block paintings to evoke that while not necessarily being constrained to that style

hype as FUCK

jesus I was fully prepared to go "yeah that's not ideal but imma watch it anyway" but WOW WOW WOW THAT'S PRETTY BAD HUH

maybe I will follow your advice and watch just the first 12

thank you very much for the warning

do not weep for wep

oh yuck

edit: putting a tw suicide, rape on this

spoilers for WEP:

the protagonist of the show starts out recovering from the suicide of a girl she had romantic tension with, and it's strongly suggested that it's related to a possibly abusive relationship with a male teacher. this is 100% a red herring, despite the teacher being kind of a creep you're supposed to like him by episode 12 (???). and the show kind of goes "well I guess you might not actually ever know why your friend killed herself"

episode 13 reveals that her friend is a serial false rape accuser. she threatened a different male teacher with a rape accusation to the point where he kills himself. her death was because she was trying to do the same to the teacher from the first episode, then she slipped and fell.

absolutely next level bullshit, holy crap. I was expecting a like, little more down to earth madoka, like a dark but cute gay time and it's like, actually about how sometimes a creepy guy is actually aright? false bill of goods
