| What really? Didn't the first season have an acceptable ending? And I doubt we will get more Swim Swim, Swim Swim died in the last season. At least I think she did, I haven't watched it in AGES because free for all death match mahou shojo shows irritate the hell out of me. Also seems that NisiOisin is penning another Monogotari novel named "Ikusamonogatari" so we can look forward to another movie trilogy/ova series.  Charlotte  Urusei Yatsura 2022 |

If the dead Madoka Magica cast can come back so what's stopping others from doing so? Scratch that. If Minky Momo can come back to life after dying by the truck then any magical girl can come back to life.  45 |

If Minky Momo can come back to life after dying by the truck then any magical girl can come back to life. Although I know it's gonna happen eventually because of what Puella Magi Madoka Magica did to the Mahou Shojo genre. But Minky Momo didn't come back to life? I haven't seen it yet but I read that when she got hit by that toy truck the series ended after her funeral because the author was pissed that they stopped funding the series. Although I wonder if I should make the attempt to watch it.... watching Urusei Yatsura on the seven seas was brutal. I can only imagine Magical Princess Minky Momo would be far worse. And I really shouldn't be trying to add more to my queue when it comes to ancient shows, I've still yet to get around to finishing Metal Armour Dragonar.  Charlotte |

Minky Momo ran for 63 episodes and the truck episode was 46. While her original self was killed there, she got reincarnated and got her magic back at a later time.  46 |

Had a nasty accident to my left arm. Nothing broken beyond large, nasty bruises, but hot compresses are an annoyance. 49 |
| REJECT ANIMU - EMBRACE TOKU |
Hope ya feel better soon. Charlotte So watching S2 of Amanchu and for some reason we needed to take a break from Girls and Guy Love Diving to bring you Peter Pan in Wonderland. Why? This is almost as strange a turnaround as Danmachi S2's complete turn around into Darksville and Texhnolyze's dystopian yakuza style keeping the peace to cyberpunk suicide fest. |

 Charlotte And now for something non anime related. |
 51 Now that's just rude. |
| REJECT ANIMU - EMBRACE TOKU |
| Funnily enough it's also not the only game that does that. I just can't remember the other ones cause it's been so long since I played a game that relied on communication features.  Charlotte Also in gaming news. Nintendo has released Gameboy and Gameboy Advance games for Switch. And just recently Metroid Prime 1 has been remastered and released on Switch. And the price of Metroid Prime is $69.95 NZD. Now to wait 5 years for the other two plus Prime 4 to be released. |
 52 And that's why Charlotte was nicknamed "X-Men anime" |
| REJECT ANIMU - EMBRACE TOKU |
SHINOBI-03 said: And our hapless protagonist is pretty much Rogue.And that's why Charlotte was nicknamed "X-Men anime" Still somewhat fun to watch. On occasion.  Charlotte I know I make this gripe pretty much every second week. But now I'm watching No Game No Life on HiDive and I really get the feeling that Sentai uses some words in their translations purely because they sound cool at the time and not because they are proper translations or fit into the conversation. I will note however that the translation notes weren't as in your face as in their other home video releases and for some strange reason they chose not to point out the blatant JoJo reference. Madman/Funimation JUMPS at the opportunity to point out JoJo references. |
 53 Sometimes I wonder how much writers confuse "funny quirks" with "gross fetishes" and think they're things normal people do them. |
| REJECT ANIMU - EMBRACE TOKU |
| That pretty much sums up anime as a whole. But that quirkiness is something we like about anime. Minus the gross fetishes of course. While I was a lurker back in high school I spotted a mot someone made of a character from a show that I don't know the name of saying "I'm getting high off the smell of my own body odour/sweat" can't remember which. Which I thought was pretty gross at the time.  Charlotte |
No idea which one was it. 54 |
| REJECT ANIMU - EMBRACE TOKU |
| Yea I know. It's not very important. I just remember some of the mots I saw back in my lurker days. Like Gone Fishing robot and the Otaku Navy. And obligatory Emiya mots. They reposted that one like every 5 pages.  Charlotte |

 61 I never wore the Judo uniform, but I remember how the Karate uniforms were like. The material wasn't the most stretchy type used so it can be easy to rip them apart when too much force is used on them. The pants weren't better either. The newer fresh out of the plastic wraps were too stiff it can be described as wearing light armor panels on your body till they got softer with use and wash. I know the Judo uniforms are to made with thicker material to soften the impacts so I have to wonder how stiff they are for first time wear. |
| REJECT ANIMU - EMBRACE TOKU |
| I only wore a Taekwondo uniform. And only for a week. It felt so heavy.  Charlotte |
I wore a Taekwondo uniform too but I don't remember if it was heavy or not. It didn't last as long as my Karate days. 62 |
| REJECT ANIMU - EMBRACE TOKU |
| I'm probably not remembering it right. It was around about 24 years ago since I last wore one.  Charlotte |

SHINOBI-03 said: Try telling that to all the zealots out there.Thighs are overrated anyway Can't pop on any MMO or anime related website without someone preaching thighs.  Nekopara  I just finished Uzaki Chan Wants To Hang Out S2. And I didn't enjoy it as much as S1. The interactions between our two mains felt a lot more forced,unnatural and not as funny. And the inclusion of a narrator to explain what was going on was beyond stupid. And the frequent "Omg cat" was too much compared to the infrequent appearances in the previous season. But it seems I'm of a minority given the score difference in S1 and S2. |

The narrator popping in whenever Tsuki had one of her "Oh but I'm a married woman!" moments was annoying. The younger brother was annoying. The younger sister was fine, she was basically playing the role of Ami and Itsuhito from the first season. But while understandable, Itsuhito and Ami from this season were insufferable. And Ami's constant "Hey young man, what colour underwear are you wearing?" moments were ugh. It is nice seeing characters with family in a show. Cause most of the time anime characters were born from the crotch of a tree or their parents had to move overseas for work. But Shinichi's dad.... I was kinda hoping that it would play out more like season 1 with Hana being annoying all the time with the rare blush moments. But this season was all blush. And while a bit of relationship advancement is always nice in a romcom, it wasn't the reason why I enjoyed the first season. But we will get to look forward to season 3 coming out and getting closure *rollseyes*  Nekopara  Seitokai Yakuindomo |

The mother's "misunderstandings" stopped being funny, the brother was never likable the moment his fetish fantasies were shown, and the father stopped trusting Shinichi the moment he knew he was his daughter's boyfriend didn't sit well for me. And Shinichi's family is no better. How cruel are they to not ever tell him he has a sister?  68 |

And Shinichi's family is no better. How cruel are they to not ever tell him he has a sister? While he was at the gym Uzaki's dad was like "Damn Shinichi is such a swell guy" but the moment he found out he was Hana's senpai he went down the whole "I WILL MURDER ANYONE HE GETS CLOSE TO MY DAUGHTER" And she's a freaking college student and he still dotes on her like she's a fragile flower. And only Tsuki and Hana's sister know that she constantly harasses him. As for Shinichi's family, his dad is a huge dick. The whole reason he didn't know he had a little sister was because dad was too busy getting private time with his mum to want him to come home. And his mother didn't know because she delegated all responsibility on her husband because he was all "I'll take care of it don't worry" and lied about him being too busy to come home to visit. Alas it seems that the majority think that S2 is waaaaay better than S1. Then again MAL ratings are about as important as Youtube upvotes and Blizzard likes.  Nekopara I finished watching By The Grace of The Gods S1 yesterday in preparation for the binge watching of S2 but I forgot that it's still ongoing so I just watched episode 1 to check and see if they pulled a Devil Is A Part Timer or goofed up translations, but it's fine for now. The CG horses are still as ugly as ever, and there are a lot of them now. So then I decided to watch Jobless Reincarnation because I remembered part 2 is finished and because it has been so long I completely forgot how damned horny the show is. |

| God I hated watching that show. I'd prefer watching Dagashi Kashi 2 again rather than rewatch Call of the Night.  Nekopara |
What didn't you like about it? 70 |
| REJECT ANIMU - EMBRACE TOKU |
| The intro, the outro, the music that plays at random points midway through episodes when they do their little night flying sprees and similar moments, the jokes were most of the time not funny, the fact that she can spout innuendos and provocative statements but any talk of anything remotely resembling actual romance and she gets all shy and flustered and the fact that pretty much every character introduced is highly forgettable other than our female lead. It was like watching a slightly tamer but still obnoxious Shimoneta. Also the overwhelming fact that other than Miss Vampire Hunter all the adults in that show were nonexistant or completely useless. Mostly the music though, I had to spend most of the episodes with my TV muted because I hated it so much. The only thing I really somewhat enjoyed about the show were the backgrounds and light changes to simulate the mood that is 'The Night Life'.  Nekopara EDIT: The first part of the Urusei Yatsura tv series blu ray release will be on April 25th 2023. It will contain episodes 1-54 and it's currently $132.38 NZD according to Amazon. I'd better start saving. |
