Friggin half of the things in the 100+-item-long planning list I don't even remember why I added them, a handful of the things even look like "dead dove" shows (shows where the tin indicates it's probably insufferable goonbait, then it turns out to in fact be insufferable goonbait)
So I dunno maybe this thread can just as easily be used for pruning my planning list, if there's anything where there's an absolute consensus it isn't worth my time.
Or hell, maybe there's something you think my diseased self should experience that isn't on the planning list already. I'm not going to stop you from making recommendations.
In any case, time to grab some vegan ice cream and enjoy my catgirl who is both cultural and all-purpose and named Nuku Nuku, see you on the other side
Edit: I'm gonna say I'm done with binging anime for today. Between 2:15 and 10:15 PM I ended up watching, in order,
- All-Purpose Cultural Catgirl Nuku Nuku (OVA) ep 2
- Frieren ep 1
- Land of the Lustrous ep 1
- Odd Taxi ep 1
- March Comes in Like a Lion ep 1
- Shoshimin ep 1
- Makeine ep 1
- Mobile Suit Gundam ep 1
- Tis Time for Torture, Princess ep 1
- Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei ep 1
- Bakemonogatari ep 1
- The Twelve Kingdoms ep 1
This is to say that 288/480 minutes, or ~5/8 hours, was spent on watching anime today. Depending on how I feel tomorrow, I may watch some of the suggestions in this thread that I didn't get to.
My overall favorite of the anime I watched today has to be Makeine. The others each had their own strong points, too, and might've beaten Makeine if I were in better health, but with my currently fried brain Makeine was the one that I think hit the best.
It definitely would be better if they'd gotten a second season to actually finish the story with, because their weird toxic brainworms about relationships are eventually resolved and they ultimately look back on them with something like "damn we sure had some messed up ideas and expectations when we were kids, huh?"
There's also a spinoff LN series about Saeki Sayaka that I haven't read yet.
oh yeah i finished it and it got a lot better, just have to warn abt the anime because it is paraded as amazing and an example of something not particularly triggering when, well, early touko..
I hate that there's so little yuri anime that ever actually finishes the story paired with how much yuri treats the buildup to a relationship starting as at least the first 90% of the story, such that Bloom into You is a standout just for being unambiguously gay and starting the relationship immediately, since its drama is more about the main characters' toxic idealist brainworms and how they work through them.
I'm in Love with the Villainess is another one that's at once toxic and bad but still a standout just for being completely and unambiguously gay, even though the LN tackles how it talks about LGBT issues better than the anime and is more open about the fact that Rae is being toxic and creepy with how she acts towards Claire and how it's bad that she feels entitled to win her as a prize for doing good deeds (but then she still does, because it's still ultimately a wish-fulfillment isekai).
