Really enjoying this one. The main thing I’m missing is why Bertia wants to play the villainess role.

I like the more serious moments of this anime, but I really don’t like the comedic bits, especially from those who I can only still see as (nearly) indiscriminate murderers.

I also really don’t like the way this show is withholding information. Yuru had ample opportunity to ask about why they murdered the village, but only asked about his parents (except the why), even when Asa gave them a perfect hook when she brought up the Higashi village. Which is pretty crucial to everything and possibly also why his parents left. It feels like an artificial way to keep their intentions a mystery, but at the same time they want to us sympathize with them.

Japan continues to uphold their status as a country with the most unreasonable copyright laws

National? Where?

Depends on where you’re from. In my country, dubbing in the native language rarely happens unless it’s a kids movie.

Good to know! I haven’t picked it up yet, because I often end up somewhat disappointed in adaptations of these types of manga.

Subs will be a turn-off for a lot of people, that’s for nerds.

If you’re used to media in your own language, I suppose so

Made a honey and poppy seed ricotta cheesecake once with sweet marscarpone on the side. It was delicious.

No bake cheesecake (no gelatin) is the best kind

Changed my life is a bit much maybe, but Hibike! Euphonium means a lot to me

Is this anime original? I thought the story was concluded.

Anyway, I hope Kurumi is in it, she’s the only actually interesting character and made the last couple of seasons bearable.

I’ve not come across that yet and my Bluray player isn’t connected to the internet.

Has to have a dub. Someone who does not watch anime is not going to read subs.

Why not? It’s how many people started, no?

I wouldn’t recommend it as a first anime to most, but I introduced a friend to anime with Spice & Wolf

I’m pretty sure that meme has died out a looong time ago thankfully

As much as I love Martian, I had to go with Hunting Soul. Mirage was close too

Same! Hunting Soul is too good. Probably the most Eurovision-like song too, along with Creepy Nuts

No longer necessary, it worked this time! Thanks though!

The link is stuck loading for me unfortunately (Firefox and Vivaldi)

Probably all gacha games, like Genshin Impact or FGO. There’s a lot about those games I like, but the fact that they’re gacha actively gets in the way. If they were just regular games, most of the problems, which boil down to maximising play time like tedious grinding or filler in the main quests, would disappear.
