I watched the first episode of Harem in the Labyrinth of Another World. Kind of a barebones premise. Kid gets isekai'd while playing a game. But, I like how skeevy he is. His whole first quest is just "get enough money to buy the wolfgirl sex slave he wants". And plays really uplifting and heroic music once he affirms his desire. Seems like a good start to a T&A anime. Probably best to wait for the uncensored BD release though. So many black lines over the gore and even more censor bars over the nipples. The ending theme song is an absolute banger.
 
The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You seem to find ways on how to make their story really amusing.

I am still continually disappointed, the manga is just flashy spectacle with no substance or themes. The garou fight of the webcomic is dead as is (IMO) Saitama's character. Murata is just drawing things to look cool with no regard for how that fucks up the story. Its good art mind you and it looks cool but its just something to look at and then forget about, not like the webcomic which was more intelligent with its characters and story direction/themes. For example in the webcomic for the most part massive shows of power only existed to serve a specific purpose, more often than not to briefly show a power gap or to be the butt of a joke, and now we have them just willy nilly only because they look cool. I get the distinct impression I'm going to be disappointed with how the end of this fight turns out and that its really not going to feel meaningful whatsoever. And no, a few panels of Garou at the end of the fight having some sad flashback and then crying will not fix this shit

So the first episode of Made in Abyss S2 dropped today, however I refuse to watch airing animes until they're completed so I don't get blueballed if I watch too fast. All I want to know is, was it good?

I forgot most of Season 1 cause I saw it years ago. I never saw the films that continues the story after that season. I've got a lot of work to do.

A good anituber is a minority among minorities. It's so rare it's almost non-existent.

FWIW, Murata just casually mentioned in a tweet reply that the series is ending soon, so maybe that's why it's completely veered off of the original storyline in favor of pure spectacle. Credit where credit is due, Murata's taking full advantage of it and his art has always been pretty awesome. At the very worst this last arc will be a guilty pleasure for me. Visually it's recreating a lot of the set pieces from the webcomic, albeit on a completely different scale.

I really hope they do some bullshit retcon "well ackshually what YOU CONSIDER to be your real name is actually your name, so you can't kill trans people with their deadname"

That just leads to further loopholes and honestly a fun storyline where some guy with a Multiple Personality disorder survives the attempts because he triggers a different personality whenever Light tries to kill him.

That'd honestly be fun if you had L using the schizo as bait by posting the guy on image boards and local news stations into baiting Kira.

I kinda suspected that the manga might be ending after this arc, given the webcomic hasn’t really progressed much and at the current glacial pace of the manga it’ll literally never get finished. I think turning this into the final or penultimate arc is probably the best way it could go from a practicality/feasibility standpoint, I don’t think anyone wants OPM to drag on going nowhere for like another 5-10 years.

The title of this oneshot


Slanted eyed?

The Japanese title for that one shot has "Tsurime" (ツリ目) in it. there's a whole TV Tropes page about tsurime eyes, which is often stylized as the top eyelid having a sharp angle on the outer corners of the eyes, with Kagami Hiiragi from Lucky Star as the featured example.

A less moé example of "tsurime" would be Masaki Yoshida, one of Tomoko's second year classmates in the WataMote manga (well beyond where the anime left off). Yoshida's eyes often get classified as "sanpaku" because she's usually drawn with the whites of her eyes on three sides of her irises (instead of her irises going all of the way down to the lower eyelid line), but her eyes are also "tsurime".
