public_key_reveal_party: I just recently finally got into watching anime, so this might be the first time I have watched been talking about anime where I actually understand a bit of what is going on
DoodlestheGreat: Gonna be honest, this Summer is insane. So far, i've sampled a half dozen shows that are candidates for Best of Year, much less the season, an I know of at least two more that are likely to join them.

bytecaster: When someone gets the Anime cold!
lamina5432: delaying it for having more chapters sake??
bytecaster: Lots of romcoms have the problem of the never-ending gimmick
Jay_Blanc: At least it didn't turn into a continuous Tournament Arc?
Travilogue: Akane-banashi was very good. Excellent VA work
Brozard: It was real good!
Gekyouryuu: Akane-banashi is FANTASTIC, and I think you'd like it, but fair for you to skip if you're not feeling it
Lysander_salamander: hello everyone
TXC2: hello Lysander_salamander welcome
Travilogue: Loved Awajime. I kind of liked the stories being different people and times. (there is a little bit of a tying together later)

kyosokun: It's slice of life
JollyGee29: Anthology series can be hard to watch weekly in my experience
public_key_reveal_party: More like vignettes than a cohesive whole?
Travilogue: yes, vignettes was the word I was trying to think of
TXC2:
2nd prettiest....who is judging that ? 
lamina5432: the soft pretty seems harder to have in anime
Earthenone:
its anime, usualy there is a poll given on scrap paper to each male student secretly 
Travilogue: This show ended up being more complex and serious than I was expecting.
lamina5432: It was a major complaint for fragrent flower of mine, kaoruko was also supposed to be softer
Laurence72: @Earthenone Or the school newspaper holds the vote, per decree of the shadowy student council?
lamina5432: I hear dr stone is almost over so will probably go watch that later
otakon17: Please no
otakon17: I get enough of that in real life
Amentur: I watched the first episode and could not deal with the guy
Travilogue: Yeah, I got sick of Koichi around ep 3 or 4
otakon17: what this i hear about a chainsmoking catgirl?
Travilogue: There was that one moment in the hot spring...
otakon17: hot springs are REQUIRED
7gorobei: the manga is a bit more explicit in the bathing scenes
radiowasabi2014: oh this was the one where he has the giant dong but it's only mentioned twice lol

Travilogue: It is a fun show. Kind of treads the line on noble savage stuff at times though
TXC2: Hello Heather
TXC2: bye Heather
lamina5432: need to watch honzuki new season
lamina5432: honzuki did kind of get shelved for me just to wait for it to build up
DoodlestheGreat:
Be grateful you skipped "Fist." It belongs on a double bill with "Bleach 2016" 
Gekyouryuu: @DoodlestheGreat do you mean Berserk?
DoodlestheGreat: I didn't enjoy the fanservice and the characters, so I dropped it
DoodlestheGreat: @Gekyouryuu Yes. My fingers are too fast for the brain.
DoodlestheGreat: One really flat note, too.
lamina5432: didn't realize this got a season 2
Texan_Reverend: L and I have been having fun with this.
Texan_Reverend: It's silly, but fun.
TXC2: Beej: "they have introduced more men" me, with no context: boooo
Travilogue: Vending Machine S3 was decent, not as good as 1, but liked it better than 2.
DoodlestheGreat: Vending Machine - after watching the first two seasons, I had to finish the damned story. Not sure it was worth it.
INCSlayer: i fell off during season 1
kingandcommoner: At least it had an ending
Texan_Reverend: THIS is the one L and I have been having tons of fun with. L absolutely fell for the premise.
Travilogue: It got real stupid
loufghyslaufey: Battle? Observed by... a vensing machine?
Texan_Reverend: It's absolutely as ridiculous at it should be. It knew what it was, and as long as you're there for the ride, it's tons of goofy fun.
kingandcommoner: Holy Water Vending machine was a pretty good pull
loufghyslaufey: *vending machine, What the bricks...??!
otakon17: I'm sorry did I hear the 100 yard FIELD get into a fight with a Kaiju?
Travilogue: Also, Field being in his own harem anime was dumb but I laughed
Basic_Human_Decency: How many people got their arm stuck in its hole?
Texan_Reverend: @otakon17 Yes. A field with a human soul that was isekai-ed into this world.
Travilogue: Oh yeah, the RPG check in with each character to get their one line reaction to the battle was a bit too much
DoodlestheGreat: Oh yes, I hate that.

kingandcommoner: Fighting Evil with Bud Light. He's the Vending Otaku.
otakon17: Well their spirits at least, IIRC they all got killed in the final run on Beryl.
otakon17: @kingandcommoner I read that to the tune of the American theme.
Texan_Reverend: Yeah, if you're not smiling a bunch at the fundamental premise, it might not be for you.
DoodlestheGreat: it's a wonderful low-stakes slice-of-life about a young man and his relationship with a collection of deities. Yamaguchi is a good pupper god.
Korolan subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 73 months!

kingandcommoner: And then Amaterasu Goddess of the Sun
otakon17: But are they as fluffy as the slime and wolf from the Discount Shopper Isekai show?
DoodlestheGreat: Also, castella!
kingandcommoner: @otakon17 you mean Campfire Cooking?
otakon17: yes
otakon17: fluffy and cute and fun is good
kingandcommoner: Sui is best boy and nothing in this anime compares. But it's much more wholesome overall
tdapenguin: Mobius floors?
Texan_Reverend: The stakes don't have to be the size of columns; they can be tiny garden stakes, and that chill, gentle concept can still be good fun.
atinyspacemarine: hello fellow weabs
TXC2: hello atinyspacemarine welcome
kingandcommoner: That's about where I gave up
lamina5432: i have some friends who watched the live action. wonder if that did it better
Gekyouryuu: I heard nothing but good things about this
otakon17: Gotta love Japanese where even PRONUNCIATION affects the meaning of a word.
Travilogue: I quite liked Botan
TXC2: I guess metaphors require more effort to translate
TXC2: otakon17 yes...."love"
tdapenguin: @otakon17 English has a few of those but I'm guessing far less than Japanese
Travilogue: The animation can kind of be all over the place, in a good way
public_key_reveal_party:
JollyGee29: They deliberately had a different animation director for each episode, hence the wide variety of artstyles
JollyGee29: Episode director, I meant episode director
kyosokun: Oh God, karekano
tdapenguin: @JollyGee29 Interesting.... that could be really neat or hard to handle, depending on how it's done.
kyosokun: Read the manga, no production issues lol
tdapenguin: @JollyGee29 Ah, that makes more sense
Travilogue: It felt like if they did have less time, the knew it was happening and were able to plan to use that time effectively.
betweenmyself: His & Hers just kept adding more and more recap to take up increasing amounts of each episode as far as I recall
JollyGee29: Kare Kano's production issues were.. interesting. Too complicated to get into in Twitch chat
kyosokun: Classic Gainax
Gekyouryuu: Kanan-sama was cute, at least
kingandcommoner: I started episode 2 of this and just didn't have it in me
Travilogue: I was up and down on Kirio. Ended on up though.
kyosokun: I can't take the second hand anxiety/embarrassment
Travilogue: I will say the end does bring in some stuff from earlier that is only mentioned in passing
Brozard: Yessssssssss
Brozard: love this and Polar Opposites
lamina5432: the little i watched of this it was great.
Travilogue: Yes, we are
jdr_42: I love Ramparts of Ice
avjamethyst: oh yeah, ben and I have been watching this, so relatable
Travilogue: Fall 2026 for Ramparts S2
Decaped: they're alternating seasons so an entire year of their anime
NarwhalsInATrenchcoat: It's her year. Polar opposites -> ramparts -> polar opposites 2 -> ramparts s2 back to back to back is insane
kingandcommoner: From what i hear, Rampart's manga has ended and we're probably only getting 1 more season. maybe 2
Brozard: each character is very thoughtful and internal
Brozard: and reflective
Brozard subscribed at Tier 1. They've subscribed for 91 months!
Brozard: oh hey, button
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, Brozard! (Today's storm count: 10)
TXC2: the classic love dodecahedron
Travilogue: They made very good use of the intro bars of the end credits under the final scenes of the episodes.
DoodlestheGreat: Why watch, when you can avoid the utterly annoying bird character's screeching by enjoying something else?
Travilogue: *ARATA*
TXC2: the manguin
radiowasabi2014: lool
DoodlestheGreat: Mao - I no longer need to watch "Inu-Yasha," since this story speedruns the same thing. That's not a bad thing, really.
Decaped: Mao is cool if you want to be reminded of the 90s
radiowasabi2014: Mao = Inuyasha redux
Travilogue: Kinosaki is the best
Wolfstrike_NL: All I know that Liar Game had a banger song that got a lot of youtube artist do a react video to
Kragaar: marriage toxin is straight from the margins of a 13 year old's notebook
Amentur:
Kill or Kiss 
Kill or Kiss
kingandcommoner: Sounds about right. What i wouldn't give for an actual detective anime in this day and age
dougma: could not get past the first 5min
TXC2: !addquote (Beej) [now] There's nothing more fun to solve then a murder.
LRRbot: New quote #9613: "There's nothing more fun to solve then a murder." —Beej [2026-07-05]
lamina5432: thats sad. i always thought want more detective stories
Travilogue: Ribdiculous was soooo good
TXC2: I wonder how much ACAB has effected detective stories
Amentur:
Ribdiculous was some great fun 
betweenmyself: Rib Reincarnation was nice in that they explored a number of media
kingandcommoner: I enjoyed it if for no other reason than the animation switchups
Travilogue: Not just animation, they get some live action in there as well
kingandcommoner: "Locker in a horror game" was actually pretty great
DoodlestheGreat: My Ribdiculous Reincarnation - My sleeper hit of the season. Utterly wacky comedy making fun of multiple genres, especially the standard isekai power fantasy. "Pop Team Epic" level of humor, so if that's not your speed, I understand.
Travilogue: The conceit of it being a recap of what happened was charming to me.
Decaped: This having the same problem as Needy Girl Overdose is lowkey hilarious
Travilogue: It was only on the last episode that I realized that the goddess's chair and platform were physical object.
RealGamerCow: was that the girl from the game Ian played last week?
DoodlestheGreat: It's a narrative conceit that I recognize as being hard for folks to handle.
Travilogue: Meathead Princess!
Decaped: Everyone should watch the Door episode of Needy Girl Overdose. Everyone should watch the Door episode of My Ribdiculous Reincarnation
SquareDotCube: This sounds like the girl's gonna join a rebellion eventually without knowing it
kingandcommoner: "The first thing you should do...IS GET YOUR EYES CHECKED!"
calculated_uncertainties:
100 
1
kingandcommoner: Chaos Gremlin punches her way through life
Texan_Reverend: I'm currently watching this and enjoying myself. It's one that I've made work in zoomed fullscreen on my CRT TV.
DoodlestheGreat: After an interesting start, the joke ran out of steam relatively fast for me.
Texan_Reverend: Not the rooster, but Mimi before that, I mean.
exeJayce: hey neat I'm able to catch some of Beej talking about anime. Hi Beej! hi chat!
Kragaar: it's a good watch
Travilogue: Otaku Gal was good
UtilityPunk:
"Ooops, now I'm 5 years ahead of the anime, and I can't go back" 
Punching_Bag: Otaku Gal has a good opening
Lysander_salamander: Oh I'll give it a try
LRRbot:
If you see something funny or particularly noteworthy, make a Clip of it! Your clip could appear in a fortnightly video or be seen at https://www.twitch.tv/loadingreadyrun/clips (Named clips with no autocaptions are preferred but not required!)
Gekyouryuu: "I liked this. if I watch it again, it'll water it down."
INCSlayer: Hey Heather, Bye Heather
calculated_uncertainties:
100
kyosokun: Especially with Drama. Worth a watch, but not worth the emotional drain once you've gotten the payoff once
exeJayce: I'm like that with Trigun, I LOVED it, but I don't think I'll ever watch it again. It might ruin the experience.
lamina5432: very heather to like train wrecks
Punching_Bag: Heather's seal of aproval
Travilogue: I really liked the comercial break eyecatches in Snowball Earth
lamina5432: the seasons one was pretty solid.
TXC2:
earth being cold? what a ridiculous fantasy 
Travilogue: Also in Snowball Earth, the kaiju look absolutely ridiculous in a very fun way.
Travilogue: Tada-Oja one of three polycule shows I saw this season
lamina5432: new slime was goid
INCSlayer: Yomi no Tsugai is soo good
PMAvers: Wistoria's been a lot of fun, and boy do they go hard on fights?
Gekyouryuu: I need to watch Yomi no Tsugai. it's from the FMA author
INCSlayer: sad Beej didnt watch it
INCSlayer: @Gekyouryuu its great
Travilogue: Candy Caries is very worth checking out
DoodlestheGreat: Yomi no Tsugai - Daemons of the Shadow Realm - Arakawa's back and I am delighted. Looking forward to the next season.
DoodlestheGreat: Candy Caries (shorts) - silly series of shorts that makes me glad I brush my teeth more.
Jigokuro:
loufghyslaufey: Shorts? Did... we miss something?
DoodlestheGreat: Very whatever.
TXC2: Looney Tunes? wild
kingandcommoner: Don't show your parents
ThirdFloorDraft: quarterly reminder on the scale of the anime industry
DoodlestheGreat: @loufghyslaufey It's in the OVAs...
Gekyouryuu: @loufghyslaufey they put some shows AFTER shorts if they don't air on tv
exeJayce: just scrolls on by the Love Live LMAO
kingandcommoner: Apparently they Added the titties in Marika for the anime. The manga was comparatively wholesome
kingandcommoner: nobody knows why
Gekyouryuu: funniest thing about Meitantei Precure? they have a crossover with Detective Conan with both appearing in either show
DoodlestheGreat: I tried and bounced off "Dandelion." Oh well.
SquareDotCube: Oh they know why... lack of confidence in the anime being successful
loufghyslaufey: This? Never heard of it before...
TXC2: corps need to learn that "sex sells" has it's limits
loufghyslaufey: This one has silly thumbnails
Brozard: oh dang, I thought Dorohedoro was coming soon, not out
ForOhForError: @Brozard s2 just wrapped, s3 is announced
UtilityPunk: Dorohedoro = "What if wild magic was normal magic?", and also "what if Witch Hat Atelier's world went horribly right?", and it's fantastic
Gekyouryuu: not tits, panties
Lysander_salamander: I think that one is about butts
Gekyouryuu: it's "show me your panties with a disgusted look on your face, please"
Travilogue: I think Heather mentioned watching Bean Counter? That was a bonus episode.
kingandcommoner: I liked this season but don't need a season 2
Gekyouryuu: Hamefura good
loufghyslaufey: Why does it sound more platonic than the tags let on?
JollyGee29: I think this is out there somewhere, not sure if there are subtitles
INCSlayer: the first 3 "episodes" should be aout there
Gekyouryuu: did Rent-a-Girlfriend FINALLY get to the "MC realizes he has an NTR fetish during a fantasy in a public pool" scene?
INCSlayer: some form of home media release happened 15 of may
kyosokun: ?
lamina5432: mecha doesn’t get a lot of respect for the English market
kyosokun:
Patlabor 
TXC2: kyosokun kink of having girlfriend romantically/ sexually taken by a bully
kyosokun: Kk
Gekyouryuu: @kyosokun netorare. trope often involving a romantic partner being won over by someone else, sometimes forcefully, and "cheating" on their partner. in RAG, a big meme has been the MC imagining her getting rented by someone else and liking them better.
Gekyouryuu: and having a certain reaction to it
Lysander_salamander: I started watching Patlabor a few weeks ago. It's rather good so far.
atinyspacemarine: I need to give it a second shot
atinyspacemarine: need to figure out the watch order lmao
TheGreenMonster450:
Patlabor 2 is very Oshii, you can really where he'll go to for GitS
DoodlestheGreat: The Food Diary of Miss Maid - pleasant but slight, for hardcore food freaks like me and few others.
atinyspacemarine: It doesn't even want to start a flame in your heart
Kragaar: product placement by some japanese culinary tourism board
Gekyouryuu: "it's not a maid anime with food. it's a food anime with a cute maid to attract the normies."
BrowneePointz: oh nikke
Lysander_salamander: oh, that gatcha girl game?
lamina5432: so gonna eat that up. i am a crossover slut.
Gekyouryuu: in PreCure, Conan is just there and it's a mostly normal PreCure episode. in Conan, magic can't be confirmed real, so the one precure girl is Kaito Kid in cosplay
BrowneePointz: yes nikke is the butt shaking gun girl game
kingandcommoner: Was it the art style?
TXC2:
BrowneePointz that doesn't narrow it down
lamina5432: i hears nikke writing is actually top tier
Lysander_salamander: Is this one of those weird neo-conservative fantasies?
kyosokun: Hmmm. The art style doesn't do it for me
lamina5432: as someone in the gatcha space
Decaped: honestly, more like an anarchist fantasy.
Gekyouryuu: I'm in a discord with a Nikke channel, and I hear it's actually solidly made
Decaped: What if you could get revenge without killing people
BrowneePointz: oof a Darling on the Frankx moment
JollyGee29: The Gundam short was so cute
DoodlestheGreat: Witch Hat Atelier - Lived up to all the hype and then some. No notes. If you can't like Brushbuddy, we can't be friends.
betweenmyself:
Witch Hat is so good
kingandcommoner: It's called Witch Hate Atelier I tell ya
Wolfstrike_NL: Witch Hat!
BrowneePointz: this manga has won a ton of awards for a reason
Gekyouryuu: S2 already in production
BrowneePointz: the anime was done well
BrowneePointz: go watch it
Gekyouryuu: they put out a teaser
DoodlestheGreat: More is coming.
Amentur: They've already put out a teaser trailer for the next season
Wolfstrike_NL: IT WAS SOOOO GOOOD!
lamina5432: i read it and man the picture book style
Decaped: best political thriller in anime
loufghyslaufey: I can't even continue Frieren into s2 yet
Gekyouryuu: the sequence with Coco and her mom that they added for episode 3....
Critterbot: Witch Hat Atelier was excellent!
DoodlestheGreat: I know so many artists who love this magic system.
TheGreenMonster450: some people on reddit and stuff have been doin' some warcrime worthy spells
UtilityPunk: Having read the manga as well, this show is gonna keep delivering for at least another season
TheGreenMonster450:
and you get why it's hidden in the manga
Gekyouryuu: WHA: "should we restrict access to magic?" real people: "hey, so I invented a spell to turn a person inside out, and another that makes a black hole. super easy."
BrowneePointz: I love that the creator, who started as an illustrator, said she was inspired by LotR and Western Fantasy cuz she was sick of current eastern fantasy animanga tropes being so overtrod
DoodlestheGreat: "Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid" also likes to conflate magic with computer code.
Kragaar: "understand" if you put subtitles on that one girl
UtilityPunk: The narrative structure and characters are just so well conceptualized. Strong writing, fun world
DoodlestheGreat: The creater of Witch Hat and Owl House are fans of each other, and have conversed many times.
BrowneePointz: SO much of the the series makes sense when you learn the Mangaka started as an illustrator
TXC2: looked it up, the manga predates the Owl house by about 4 years
lamina5432: distinct different beings
BrowneePointz: it’s very Tolkeinian in density
betweenmyself: for those interested in in-depth discussions on animation and theming, TBSkyen has publicly released the first five parts of their “let’s watch” of Witch Hat
UtilityPunk: It's such an interesting foil to Harrry Potter's 'muggles' concept because it pulls off the depth so well
DoodlestheGreat: TBS did a great series on "Frieren" as well.
Kragaar:
but would it have been better if it was an isekai?
Gekyouryuu: @betweenmyself been watching those, yeah
DoodlestheGreat: New "Dungeon Meshi" Oct 2027!
TXC2: !break
LRRbot: Remember chat, break time for the streamer means break time for YOU, so unclench, get up, stretch, walk about a bit, and maybe refresh your drink, take your meds, or go to the toilet if you need to. Don't forget to wash your hands!
lamina5432: I was medium on most of last season
Travilogue: Yeah, last season had a lot of stuff I though was decent, but very few that really stood out.
Lysander_salamander: oh, there's a Dice-friends solo-rpg day nice
lamina5432: some of the sequals didn't live up to what I was expecting either
TXC2: right chat I'm off
lamina5432: nini
TXC2: Goodnight everybody, and thanks for streaming Beej
DoodlestheGreat: Well, Summer is going to be KA-RAY-ZY. I have already sampled a half dozen shows that would be contenders for Best of Year, much less of any season.
raulghoulia subscribed with Prime. They've subscribed for 67 months!
LRRbot:
Thanks for subscribing, raulghoulia! (Today's storm count: 11)
lamina5432: I still need to watch the mongolian one
lamina5432: that looks amazing
BrowneePointz: @utilitypunk shirahama mentioned her biggest influences where LotR and Neverending Story, and Japanese High Fantasy classics Knights of Alfheim and Crystal Dragon with bits of Those Wizard Books and a smattering of Shojo works
BrowneePointz: @loadingreadyrun Jaahudar
DoodlestheGreat: @lamina5432 YES. YES YOU DO. It's SO good.
BrowneePointz: Ope wrong ping
Travilogue: Yeah, summer is looking stacked. I desperately need to cut some shows from my watch list, but that is going to be difficult.
BrowneePointz: @lamina5432 Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia
atinyspacemarine: I've got medical leave/funemployment to help me catch up on anime, which I'm going to need this season
BrowneePointz: and it’s Science Saru so yes you should watch it lol
Texan_Reverend: Welcome back, Beej.
Lysander_salamander: it's a nice shirt
BrowneePointz: it looks good!
atinyspacemarine: oh neat
atinyspacemarine: those look nice
BrowneePointz: speaking of Tokyo Treats Ian should try making one of those jiggly Japanese Style Cheesecakes on TTSF
atinyspacemarine: MTL is good for general use these days
Texan_Reverend: L and I have had lots of good luck with Buyee and Yahoo Auctions. We got some great cameras that way.
Texan_Reverend: It's also sometimes a decent way to get some older game console accessories that are harder to find over here.
GhostValv:
those look so nice 
BrowneePointz: oooo Okinawa. shoutout to the Ryuku people and all the indigenous peoples of Japan who deserve more attention ❤️
Texan_Reverend: Natural fibers are the way.
BrowneePointz: You’re not QUITE in your Margaritaville Era
lamina5432: this seems like it will be good
lamina5432: watched ep1
Texan_Reverend: I am a mostly cotton everything guy, but I also quite enjoy linen and cotton/linen blends. I've got a couple hoodies that have a bit of poly blended with the cotton, but that's about it.
lamina5432: vtuber bang dream
TheGreenMonster450: so weird this is getting an anime
TheGreenMonster450: it got like 5 volumes
TheGreenMonster450: and done years ago
lamina5432: this is like a 2015 manga I think
7gorobei: ah the insane niche comeback manga
Brozard: When do they kiss the ninja animal’s butthole?
Lysander_salamander: hmmm
Travilogue: PV looked fun, gonna try it
BrowneePointz: to shreds you say….
lamina5432: clevatess was great
Amentur: First season of Clevatess was some good dark fantasy. Looking forward to more
DoodlestheGreat: Lotta big titles for shows this season.
BrowneePointz: @doodlesthegreat probably a lot of light novel adaptations
lamina5432: never found a good body swap anime
Travilogue: it is "Cute Girls Doing Circus Things" or "Circus Girls Doing Cute Things"?
Lysander_salamander: a tournament of circuses?
lamina5432: those are some good comments
Spades_Slicc: What is a "circus prodigy"
BrowneePointz: I’m gonna swallow so many swords
Kaaannaaa: Here, on the stage o f history, behold, the festival of circus
DoodlestheGreat: @Spades_Slicc She can clean up after TWO elephants.
Lysander_salamander: I do feel intrigued
Travilogue: from first ep, Mizuka is daughter of Very Famous circus guy and hates him
Lysander_salamander: If it was just about clowns, I'd be all into it
lamina5432: brain off isekai
Jigokuro: The LN of Hell Mode is good, idk if the anime was.
DoodlestheGreat: That looks like something from the 90's.
lamina5432: @DoodlestheGreat pretty sure it is from the 90's
7gorobei: is this based on those snk dodgeball games?
atinyspacemarine: ah, that's where the movie comes from

Lysander_salamander: oh neeat
atinyspacemarine: I got halfway through season 1, and really want to finish
Lysander_salamander: I have read a good portion of the manga, but haven't tried the anime yet.
7gorobei: i read the manga first main arc, the 2nd arc turned me off of it
Lysander_salamander: It's interesting how it gets into corporate espionage
lamina5432: this looks like good doomed yuri
DoodlestheGreat: Cute girls doing violent things.
BrowneePointz: ooooh gunslinger girls
Travilogue: Draw This, Then Die
DoodlestheGreat: One of my favorite studios doing one of my favorite anime series? And being faithful to the manga? Yes, please, and thank you.
BrowneePointz: science SARU I’m locked in
BrowneePointz: and I’ve heard nothing but phenomenal things
Driosenth: 2029 is only 3 years away now
Lysander_salamander: hahahahaha
lamina5432: I just want more Tachikoma
Lysander_salamander: Batou is here too
Brozard: and Balloon Fight!
BrowneePointz: but yea the reviews for this have been GLOWING
Amentur: Uhuh
ContingentCat: we really need to stop writing blank checks
BrowneePointz: oh yea stylistically it’s so old school and I love it
DoodlestheGreat: @ContingentCat Write me a blank check and I'll look into it.
7gorobei: i just want a proper Appleseed in the book 3 or book 4 art style
BrowneePointz: the ranma 1/2 reboot going that direction was surprising as well
Brozard: the children crave Showa
Lysander_salamander: why is he unnamed?
Juliamon: nanohaaaa
DoodlestheGreat: Lvl 999.... sloppity slop slop
Jigokuro:
30 years ago this anime started 
lamina5432: apparently a new separate nanoha story
BrowneePointz: …Möbius meteorites????
DoodlestheGreat: Mebius dust, maybe it's Maybelline...
BrowneePointz: 4th dimensional meteorites?

Thanks for subscribing, PhoenixMelior! (Today's storm count: 12)
Lysander_salamander: school of superheroes again
ContingentCat: we have enough of that in real life
atinyspacemarine: hans, are we the baddies?
Jigokuro: Plot will probably be learning they are wrong eventually.
7gorobei: we are the man
lamina5432: mushoku tensai should only have another season or two of content left
DoodlestheGreat: Sparks of Tomorrow - KyoAni does it again! The first episode introduced us to a set of characters and a plot that I am chomping at the bit to get further into.
lamina5432: spark looks like it will be good, just competing in a dense season
lamina5432: this looks pretty meh on the other hand.
Micalovits: Hello friends!
Brozard: Aw, this just reminded me of the manga Ayokashi, it was fun
Micalovits: Anything interesting from this season for someone who arrived late for the stream chat?
DoodlestheGreat: Kaiju Girl Caramelise - YES! YES! WATCH THIS SHOW! THIS SHOW IS GREAT! I won't say more than what the Anichart listing, but it's funny, charming, and awesome all at the same time.
atinyspacemarine: wut
lamina5432: heres a goat
BrowneePointz: Oh this one
BrowneePointz: I saw the trailer
lamina5432: giant kaiju love comedy
jdr_42: I have questions
Travilogue: Where does the "Caramelise" come from? or is that spoilers?
PMAvers: I did love that first episode, they weren't kidding on that.
DoodlestheGreat: Yep, spoilers.
Travilogue: @DoodlestheGreat Cool
lamina5432: otome game mob life was a fun season 1
DoodlestheGreat: Dara-san of Reiwa - The first episode was okay, but the fanservice of a youkai's titties gets even more focused when the two kids give her their mom's bra to cover with. Sad, really, the actual concept of a youkai coming to terms with her existence could have turned out a bit better.
Travilogue: Dara-san is.... not what I was expecting. Very fun
Lysander_salamander: I think I read some of the manga for that?
Gekyouryuu: it's Dara-san in Reiwa, yeah
Gekyouryuu: Dara-san's a snake woman with MASSIVE areolas
Lysander_salamander: ?
Punching_Bag: I want to see if the Dara-san anime can balance the horror and comedy like in the manga
Lysander_salamander: I don't remember seeing that when I was reading the manga
lamina5432: this was actually a good manga
7gorobei: ooh, the manga is actually pretty good
BalthusHomewood: Sold
BalthusHomewood: Only 5'5"
lamina5432: theres a lot of cross country politics
e_bloc: shorter of the twins has to suck
BalthusHomewood: So just the Little Mermaid
Travilogue: First ep of Lara is all setup, but I think I'm in.
lamina5432: the sequal of the little mermaid
DoodlestheGreat: "The Little Mermaid" sans all the Disneyfication.
Spades_Slicc: Hans Christian Anderson's Little Mermaid bad end epilogue
atinyspacemarine: I'm forgetting my vocab, I don't know what you'd call the lady in the lake
Travilogue: I hope we get Ramparts character cameos
e_bloc: I usually don't like shows with a built in lapin track
Brozard: Love the Taira & Azusa storyline
ElementalHaven: romcom continuations be eating good this upcoming season
DoodlestheGreat: Oh boy! The sloppiest isekai slop that ever slopped.
lamina5432: RED River hype
Amentur: Red River
lamina5432: This is a damn classic shoujo manga
Amentur: Oh Crunchyroll has it now? I need to update my sister. She mentioned reading it back ... 25 years ago
BrowneePointz: Kaiyle?
BrowneePointz: damn I was close
Decaped: you're in de-kial
e_bloc: its 2026 just be glad it seems reasonable
7gorobei: yessss
Spades_Slicc: God this rules
lamina5432: another banger, smoking is just such good vibes
GhostValv:
soon 
BalthusHomewood: Smokin
Decaped: watch this back to back with Chainsmoker Cat
Lysander_salamander: oh, I didn't know this was getting an adaptation!
Lysander_salamander: She can summon a camper as her superpower
DoodlestheGreat: Foodie Roadtrip in Another World - It might be okay, I'll have to watch to see.
Texan_Reverend: I think I'm going to be down for this.
BrowneePointz: looooooool
Brozard: Car Camping reminds me of Baby Shakshukas, I think it’s called?
Travilogue: Seems silly enough to be fine
Texan_Reverend: I adore the little kei-RV.
BrowneePointz: oh this one!
e_bloc: ability to paralell park an RV is a second and third skill
BrowneePointz: the fighting game Yuri!
Joecool190: yeah that one
ElementalHaven: makes me think of rock is a lady's modesty
Jigokuro: The other one is really good, idk about this.
kingandcommoner: This one uses actual street fighter
BrowneePointz: I think this is the one I saw the FGC popping off for
e_bloc: could save a lot of space and just call it beat generation
Punching_Bag: yes, the anime shows street fighter 6 on it, seems be done in colaboration with capcom
BrowneePointz: Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia
DoodlestheGreat: Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia - Remember what I said about "Kaiju Girl Caramelise?" Take that and double it. Absolute cinema. The sort of sweeping story that would cost a hundred million to try to do in live action. ALL HAIL SCIENCE SARU!
BrowneePointz: it looks GORGEOUS
lamina5432: this looks amazing
Lysander_salamander: I would prefer if the setup wasn't romance, but still as friends gettting into shenanigans
Travilogue: The visual style on this....
Amentur: First two episodes are out already and look amazing. Story also has me very interested

DoodlestheGreat: And Jan is a total asshole.
Juliamon: oh, Iron Wok Jan didn't have an anime until now? Wild.
lamina5432: this is another one that looks like it will fall flat
Lysander_salamander: oh dear
BrowneePointz: maybe it’ll be better disability representation than A Silent Voice
Decaped: Last season the disability was anime.
Lysander_salamander: The Soon To be Bride of the Invisible Man was rather good
lamina5432: the trailer made me not want to watch this.
ElementalHaven: a sign of affection?
lamina5432: a sign of affection
betweenmyself: a Sign of Affection had a deaf female protag, no?
lamina5432: the girl was deaf not the ML
lamina5432: sign of affection didn't really use the disability as something that caused problems
Travilogue: This is *very* GoHands, but under all of that, it seems kind of interesting
lamina5432: heavy knight is a decent isekai
7gorobei: this one is good, not amazing
DoodlestheGreat: Yep, GoHands. IOW RUN AWAYYYYYYYY!!!!
gualdhar: ah, the required incest anime
BrowneePointz: folger’s the anime?
ElementalHaven: forget continuations. this season seems romance heavy in general
ElementalHaven: not complaining by any means
lamina5432: how did chainsmoker cat get greeen lit?
Lysander_salamander: I think I saw a trailer/music video for this?
Travilogue: GoHands is certainly *a lot* but there is some really good sequences in that first episode
Spades_Slicc: Finally a real girlfailure
Decaped: Barbinheimer of smoking anime pairings
Jigokuro: The intro to this is like 100 movie references machine gun.
kingandcommoner: You can't fix her.
lamina5432: morbid curiosity will happen
BrowneePointz: oh shit Tanya the evil 2
DoodlestheGreat: The Saga of Tanya the Evil Season 2 - It's Aoi Yuki's world, we're just living in it.
lamina5432: more tanya will be fun
BrowneePointz: I was pleasantly surprised at how good Tanya was years back
BrowneePointz: I also need Yomi no Tsugai to finish so I can binge the whole season
Lysander_salamander: oh this one
e_bloc: are we sure this is ecchi
7gorobei: i read the first 3 of the manga, it is a bit much
Lysander_salamander: I tried the manga and it was a lot.
e_bloc: not much mini in that photo
Amentur: Slime Isekai is also still going despite not being listed
BrowneePointz: I’m glad Yomi got a good anime
BrowneePointz: Arakawa is such a good darn writer
ElementalHaven: dangers in my heart movie dub is set to hit streaming soon
BrowneePointz: it has the EVA problem
BalthusHomewood: Rip
Spades_Slicc: from 40k?
BrowneePointz: why have I heard of this one
lamina5432: ribbon hero trailer looked interesting at least
BrowneePointz: @spades_slicc Nergal was a Mesopotamian god
Texan_Reverend: Nergal! I've come to burgle!
Spades_Slicc: interesting
BrowneePointz: demon? deific being
Spades_Slicc: has sao anime made kirito a tgirl yet?
DoodlestheGreat: Cyborg 0096 - will try.
lamina5432: this is a wired isekai take
DoodlestheGreat: Saw first two episode, it's okay. Maybe it'll get better, but not holding high hopes.
lamina5432: girl is the otome game heroine but completely broke the plot
kingandcommoner: Oh she is good at stuff. She's the most beautiful most specialest most perfect girl in the world. This is not meant to be an entirely negative review
lamina5432: a completely fine fantasy slop
7gorobei: the manga is pretty good, the art is great
DoodlestheGreat: Level 999... the sloppiest slop that ever slopped.
e_bloc: its a second variety/philip dick situation
lamina5432: 999 villager gets wierd later
kingandcommoner: This manga was fine for the fist half, but it was bad after the main arc ended
DoodlestheGreat: The first two episodes of this charming series are a delight, but be aware that there is a brief sequence that shows felines being killed in a grotesque manner that doesn't fit with the rest of the antics that take place. If you can clear that one part, this show will draw you in for cozy vibes.
lamina5432: cat and dragon is soooooooo cute
kingandcommoner: The first two episodes of this were great
Lysander_salamander: oh that sounds interesting
lamina5432: also another hype one piece side content, let's gooo
Decaped: One Piece Fan Letter was soooo good
Amentur:
lamina5432: @Decaped 100%
7gorobei: another solid manga fantasy fighter, great art
Spades_Slicc: What's the point of the second rebirth?
lamina5432: it's decent honestly
brainbosh: This one is one of my favorite mangas rn
DoodlestheGreat: I will note that the credits for the show include a character that wasn't mentioned in any of the ads, but whose story was rather pleasing. A trans person being accepted unreservedly and getting to just be themselves.
7gorobei: its fine but you really need to be ok with some of the furry stuff
Decaped: hahaha. the horn magic making them trust him instantly was so silly I turned it off. Should i keep watching?
Driosenth: "gifted"
Jigokuro: Oh, I read some of this. Slowly grow a village and it's mostly chill, sometimes some cool fight or evil noble comeupance'd
brainbosh: Also the main character is just a Good Person.
Texan_Reverend: This sounds like it will probably be up my alley.
GhostValv: I'm glad it isn't a reason to give a huge harem
Amentur: Ninth Jedi was one of the good episodes coming out of Visions
DoodlestheGreat: Noh-body knows... the dancin' I seen...
Texan_Reverend: Thank you, as always, for the fun stream. I quite enjoy these.
Lysander_salamander: Interesting insights. I'll have to keep a lookout for these shows.
DoodlestheGreat: S'okay. Three hours is pretty good time, given how many shows there were to cover.
