what would you do if you saw someone wearing a t-shirt with an anime print

Honestly wearing anime shirts is perfectly fine. It's just cringe if someone wears one at like a funeral or something.

But in all circumstances, any coomer shirt where it's blatantly hentai or ahegao is cringeworthy. The only way I can see those shirts being fine is at anime conventions, but even that is thin line.

Manga or anime flops? I remember people were very optimistic when it started but no mention of the quality later.

A bit of both, here's some rough sales numbers for UU
1709163257075.png
If it was in any other magazine it would be fairly respectable but Jump is the biggest magazine and is know for demanding higher sales numbers for series (it was years ago but still gets me that psyren was axed because selling 100k wasn't good enough). It's kinda like if a indi studio makes a movie that gets $100 million at the box office that's usually considered a smash success because the whole thing was probably was made for a fraction of the cost but it would be a massive flop if one of the major Hollywood studios did the same since they probably spent $100 million alone just on marketing.

Anime wise its a bit harder to tell directly but discussion and hype had died out a lot compared to the first few episodes with both japs and weebs. I've only seen the first 2 episodes and a bit of the manga so unless the anime has taken a major nose dive in quality it seemed like a fairly good adaptation, the only nit pack I had was that pacing didn't seem as punchy as it was in the manga
 
With Undead Unluck, I feel like the world reset or time loop thing is maybe introduced a lot earlier than other anime-manga. If some Japanese games use it, then it would be an excuse for new game+ or routes for different endings.
Though I can appreciate dealing with God is at least currently the end goal, rather than starting something relatively simple then keep going on and on and on with bigger big bad At the same time, you can say mangaka may not be really confidence with their story for lasting appeal, in case for axing.

Also quite understandable when they change the scene in episode 19, where Fuuko was talking to Anno Un first time through phone. She was pointing a gun at Shueisha staff in manga, anime has Andy awkwardly appearing out of nowhere intimidating the staff instead.
 
Has anyone peeked at the Spring anime list to see what intrigues them?
So far I'm interested in:
KonoSuba 3
Reincarnated as Slime 3
Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf
Yuru Camp△ Season 3

With the following maybes:
An Archdemon's Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride (another Elf show)
Chillin' in Another World with Level 2 Super Cheat Powers (the manga was interesting but I'm not sure how it'll translate to anime)
As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World (probably overdone, possibly a fresh perspective on the genre)
Re:Monster (I wonder if they'll have the scene where he plows a dryad for a whole day)
The Banished Former Hero Lives as He Pleases (Also generic, but possibly interesting as it has Sora Amamiya and Akari Kitou)
The New Gate (also has an elf, manga was interesting)
Karasu wa Aruji wo Erabanai (promising, based on the studio)

There really isn't any seasonals from next season that I'm going to bother watching. I'm usually not a seasonal guy, but this season has been great so far. I'm at like 8 seasonals (plus One Piece) which is the most I've watched at once since like 2016.

Also Sengoku Youko and Bravern were crazy good this week.
 
I want to see how bad Kaiju 8 will be.
Who knows, maybe animating it might help with the pacing.
Also I guess I'll give the massive tits supernatural show a try. I can't be assed to remember the name, but it's hard to miss.

Looking at things that I'll give a shot to:
Konosuba, demon Slayer, Spice and Wolf, Yuru Camp, Loser Rangers, Blue Archive, Jellyfish can't swim,

How the fuck Yuru Camp works when they already showed the girls grown up?

Also Spice and Wolf by Passione.... oh no.
 
Passione is pretty much the modern day DEEN for lewdness when you think about it. Yeah, they animated Interspecies Reviewers, but you knew where their priorities lie with that one. Higurashi Shitsugou should've just remained with DEEN, had the same damn quality minus the competent director and screenwriter.

Also they were behind Rail Wars! and The Island of Giant Insects if you want a good idea as to what kind of reputation they have.

They made the shitty Higurashi remakequel and when it was airing Kari and a bunch of other people in here wrote literal paragraphs on paragraphs on why each episode was shit.

What about their other works?

word of warning, they switched studios and iirc they already mentioned they want to change things slightly. dunno how much and in what direction, but something to keep in mind

it's SOL? unless nadeshiko gets sex-trafficked to south america and butchered for organs the "conclusion" doesn't really matter compared to daily CGDCT.
the movie doesn't change or add that much anyway, besides the somewhat more mature aspects it still was more of the same.

I know a few fate fans who have bought/made shirou's t shirt and wear it around every so often but I don't think that counts as an anime shirt

Did see some macross and gundam style jackets that I thought where cool and if I was a bigger fan of either series I would be tempted to buy one
