This is another reason why I felt Vigilantes managed to land better then MHA
If you reread it, the series is mostly slice of life (probably more then the main series) with some darker moments now and then. But there's not as much whiplash between them as MHA because the main cast are technically criminals and aren't protected by any institution so things can suddenly turn from good to bad more naturally, and aside from the last arc the darker threats are smaller scale and more personal so something might change a character or two but doesn't flip the whole setting on its head.
Also for the love of god Hori keep Koichi out of the main series. I don't care if it'll generate interest for a Vigilantes adaptation that's a monkey paw I don't want to wish on

Obligatory.

This picture is actually a bit outdated since Koichi becomes a bigger chad by the ending of Vigs
 
I've been reading a lot of Junji Ito's work for the first time recently. I don't tend to handle horror that well and I've had mixed results. Some of his stories scared the shit out of me ("The Enigma at Amigara Fault") to making me think "...Really?" ("The Sad Story of the Principal Post" and "The Neighbor Next Door"). Uzumaki is probably the best thing I've read from him so far. It didn't scare me all that much, but the stuff with Kirie's second visit to the hospital made me sick.

I have read Tomie, Uzumaki, Gyo, Hellstar Remina, Fragments of Horror, Shiver, Smashed, Frankenstein, Dissolving Classroom, and I have No Longer Human on my shelf that I should get to some day.
I really like his work, but I'm a big horror nerd.

You should check out this unique work of his: Rasputin the Patriot.
It's based on real life, and he adds a horror aspect to this political story:
1660047855547.png
The Kafkaesque autobiography of a diplomat who compares himself to Grigori Rasputin and what happens after he gets caught up in a political purge during the early 2000s. A legal thriller with a dash of geopolitics.

Based on "Kokka no Wana (Trap of the State)", the autobiography of ex-diplomat and political writer Sato Masaru.
 
Dungeon Meshi is getting an anime adapted by Trigger, ngl I'm pretty hyped about it.
Hopefully it'll have a similiar quality to the manga cm released a few years back.

Got talked into a watching Spy x Family and wow it's actually very good. I haven't read any of it since I don't want to spoil next season but I hope it stays as it is because it's basically an anime spy show which I love. The cutesy school plotline drags a bit sometimes but it's done in a way that adds to the story, and I like that it doesn't focus on peddling anime tits or something to be a good show it relies on plot and characters and dialogue.

Yor seems a bit unbalanced but I think if she could get used to working out of caves and wearing black hoods I could help fix her.

I won't spoil it, but I can hope that Axeman (the mangaka) stays on his meds.

The school shit can be a drag, but Anya is about as entertaining as Twilight. Her thinking that Twilight will dump her the first chance he gets is the best part. The Cold War science experiments is a guilty pleasure of mine.

Also, Season 3 of Mob is gonna be the cult arc isn't it?

Could someone explain to me why people enjoy romcoms? I just don't get it. The characters are usually annoying, the story boring, and the humor even worse. It pains me to even read them and I physically cringe at them most of the time (voice acting makes the bad even worse). I've held the opinion that romcoms are the worst genre in anime and the worst thing to come out of anime in general. What gives? What do people see in it? Am I alone in having furious disgust for the genre?

I once read an article someone did where they researched the top grossing films from a whole bunch of different countries,Usually the top grossing movies are either big budget Capeshit-Disney-Pixar and the usual hollywood crap but he noticed that outside the hollywood movies the box office goes to locally made romantic comedies.

You can pick any countrie's movie industry and the most popular films that year are going to be live action romantic comedies. Japan included, some of the highest grossing movies are not even anime but live action romcoms .

In short: normies. Its because normies, no need to think much more of it, normies like romcoms.

And some Asian countries like Korea, Taiwan and Philippines have some obsession with love stories a bit too much which explains the popularity of romcoms and dramas
