What else WOULD you be here for?

I mean clearly anybody who dropped it was there for something else.

(I don't know what that something else would be, but it is definitely something else)

They wanted a loving and protective feel good onee-chanime.
---

I wanted to see if I was in the mood for Happy Sugar Life and found out I was not in the mood for Happy Sugar Life.
---

That's the problem I'm having with Angolmois.

I just don't feel like watching it.
---

I probably wouldnt like it so its a good thing its not available on anything I have to check out ep1.

Hurry up and watch Volleybutts.

Ive seen 2 episodes today so far. I dont have many episode 1s to check out before Im dunzo this season. I think its down to these now:

Harukana Receive
Island
Music Girls
Einherjar
Angels of Death

You can cut all of those except Harukana and maybe Angels and nobody will complain.

What's this bitch got against Chio?
---

Just started episode 56 of HxH, man fuckin Hisoka

also LOOK AT THIS KURAPIKA DISGUISE LIKE COME ON THEY'RE TEASING ME NOW
---

I was thinking about that a lot during our conversation
---

For what it's worth, Music Girls is actually pretty decent. It's just so blatantly a discount idol anime with shallow yet fun characters so don't watch it unless that sounds like exactly what you want (it was exactly what I wanted and I'm enjoying it).

Anyway, I've finished watching both seasons of Non Non Biyori. I thought it was good but it wasn't quite at my preferred place on the comedy/slice-of-life spectrum. The slow pacing and quiet panning shots definitely fit well for the laid-back country tone, but there were times where they held a shot of a tree for fifteen seconds and I just wanted it to move on. I suppose it just wasn't entirely for me, but it was still very high quality and I'm glad I watched it. Renge was always a lot of fun.

I'm up to episode 18 in Hunter x Hunter so I guess I can post a comment on that too. The cool sniper lady who I mentioned in a previous post came back! Shame about that pin getting flicked through her face, looks like she's definitely gone now. RIP cool background sniper lady.

The Zevil Island test was my favorite part of the anime so far, though. It sort of had a Battle Royale vibe, and I liked the tension of not knowing who was hunting who. They'd also finally whittled down the applicants to the point where everyone felt special and had their own moment, so that was nice. Gon stealing Hisoka's badge was neat too. Lastly, as fun as he is as a character, I can't help but wonder if Leorio really deserves to have made it this far. The others have been carrying him through literally every challenge.

Roba you gotta get in on that Yuru Yuri.

Harukana Receive ep1 -

That video certainly makes a compelling argument! Once I finish a few more things (I was an idiot a few weeks ago and started watching like eleven anime at once) I'll try to get around to it.

Are these the ones you havent watched? Einherjar is like if they took all the bad and cliche parts of modern isekai and put it in a show.
---

I said you can ignore them and people wouldn't care, but Island should be actively avoided.

You might even get arrested if you watch it.
---

island felt entirely skippable to me
---

The shrine loli is island has great hair
---

Wow I finally watch Harukana Receive like people wanted and nobody says anything. Pretty soon Ill be able to tier/rank the ep1s

Well yeah

There are two more episodes for you to watch.
---

I made it pretty clear I wasnt watching more than ep1s! Anything I like Im gonna continue when the show is over.

And you wonder why nobody has anything to say to you...

Ulquiorra had tons of potential and then he died.

For me, that's when Bleach died too.

Like wtf Kubo. You already subverted your own trope when Ichigo forcibly pulled his mask off during the Byakuya fight, and then you just play it straight? What about those scenes with Orihime and Ulquiorra. It meant nothing?. Goddamn.

The interest in him is still there. Kubo supervised a new form for him.

Looks like Ulqiuorra might have gained something hes been looking for, a heart.
---

Huh I didnt realize Kanae Itou was in Harukana Receive. Looks like Kanata unfortunately grows her hair out again too. At least it looks short in ep1, but then the very start is like a small tomeskip of some kind where its in a long ponytail

how about episode 1 of Danmachi
---

So I finished the Yorknew City Arc in HxH. I have a few things about it.

So was the ending insinuating that Chrollo can find a way to remove what Kurapika did to him if he goes to the East? And that's why the rest of the Phantom Troupe are holding out and letting it go for now? Because right now the Troupe are doing exactly the opposite of the point they were trying to make in the previous episodes, with "oh even if the leader dies the spider still lives on so do what's best for the spider". So if they knew Chrollo had no chance of coming back from it, the Troupe wouldn't hesitate to take vengeance upon the main group right? That's the only way I can interpret it to make sense of why they're just giving up.

Also FUCK I wanted to see Hisoka fulfill his battle against Chrollo, they were hyping that up for so long. So that was kind of an anticlimactic end for his in this arc, even though it's 100% in line with Hisoka's character and I fully understand why they went that way. Just my own selfish desires of wanting to see Hisoka fight again.

Bane how do you feel about Bleach

I couldn't help but notice how a poll about Bleach got quite a few more votes than the previous topic's poll about currently airing anime. Stop living in the past, man.

I don't know what a Bleach Espada is
---

honestly I have not watched too much Bleach, another one where I caught random episode here and there for a total of maybe 10-15
---

The Espada (, (), Esupda; Spanish for "Sword", Japanese for "Ten Blades") are the top-ranked and most powerful Arrancar in Ssuke Aizen's army of Hollow-Shinigami hybrids, serving as the primary rivals of the Gotei 13.
