Will do! Thank you! I'm rewatching LOTGH but will probably watch those after I finish that and Symphogear AXZ!

Hey. Were you the one who recommended Darker than Black: Kuro no Keiyakusha to me?

It reminds me of the people who aren't happy with dramas unless someone's dies.
Right? That's just lame. Death doesn't necessarily have to be a part of drama, but a lot of series and movies are guilty of killing characters bc:
1. Shock value (Akame ga kill)
2. 'Depth'
Drama can be just as good without someone crying, being hospitalized or even dying. That's just an elitist attitude to want deaths or something worse in drama to exalt its position in their eyes. smh.

I checked the description, and since it's a happy ending, I'm assuming the couple that defied the govt lived their lives happily ever after? No repercussions?

Yeah, you're right. It can get tiresome to discuss real life issues. Heh. That's why we're here on MAL, talking to other otakus.
Tell me about the ending. I most likely won't watch the anime, so there won't be much to spoil for me.

Hey, thanks for accepting it, I like yours too, it looks cool how it extends to your about me.

Profile pic?

Replace 'books' with 'anime' and this video's still perfect

Interesting. White feminism doesn't exist here, bc we're mostly all from the same race. Those that aren't, are included bc we all look the same. But yeah, feminism (much like any movement) has an elitist branch, an SJW branch, a pseudo branch, and a feminazi branch. Apart from that, it's an all-for-one-and-one-for-all thing. White feminism must be a serious issue in Western worlds.
I wonder, tho, how much progress feminism has made in countries like Japan (too sexist), China (too patriarchal), Korea, Thailand etc. Having said that, I don't think there's any doubt that feminism in India is quite ahead of most of its Asian counterparts, if not all.

Haven't recently watched any good TV shows myself. Been a couple of years, really. I don't even remember what good shows I watched before I started watching anime. I mean, I have MAL to keep track of what I watch, but it wasn't the same with TV shows. I suppose Supernatural, s11 would have been my last TV seasonal.

Watch from the 5 minute mark. This is an interesting analysis of the show.

I do agree with one thing > "providing an authenticity that's atypical for an anime"
A majority of anime are SO fully of tropes that I've now begun avoiding shounen/shoujo anime at all costs. The best places to go, would ofc be Seinen and Josie, but ugh. I lack the patience for slow plot developments.
If you feel it deserves a higher rating then give it a 9. I revise my ratings from time to time too.

I wouldn't be offended. But I'd def be thoroughly irritated. That's for sure.
Surprised to hear Koi to Uso has dramatic elements in it. I thought it'd be a simple romance/slice of life anime. I checked the stats for that Rakugo anime, and saw you rated it an 8. How come?
I mean, I know I don't like drama, but I thought I'd give this one a try bc of all the buzz surrounding it. Dropped it after 4 eps bc uughhhhhhhhh it was so slow. So much emphasis was given on their performances and I couldn't even tell if they were good or bad bc I don't speak Japanese!

Liking the atmosphere. First episodes were pretty calm and methodical. Definitely going to continue watching.

Oh. I did come across Kakegurui. Found it intriguing.
That anime with the big eyes (whose pics you shared with me) and Tsurezure have also been creating quite some buzz.

Waiting for all the eps to air for all 3 and then will def watch them :D

I'm doing well, like always. Hehe.
Loads of clients or rushed deadlines?

Haven't heard from you in a while. Hope everything is okay at your end.
