A little off topic but recently Netflix announced a series called "Cursed" that is about the Lady of the lake having Excalibur and going adventuring with Arthur to deliver the Sword to Merlin, both the CM of Netflix Spain and Netflix USA promoted as if Arthur was now a woman in the series so Fate shitposting ensues

Im trying to find the Netflix america tweet but is full of shill about a dumb documentary promoted by Michelle obama that i got bored halfway but is almost the same
 
Ok what happened?
It pretty much turned her character from someone, by the end of the resistance arc, who was finally able to be her own person and has confidence in her ability as a cook, to pretty much an object of the new main antagonists affection and pretty much as a "prize." She was pretty much relegated to an unwilling participant in a dick measuring contest.
Edit: There was also the ending that pretty much blue balled fans to finally hearing her say Soma's dish was delicious, and just ended it with her saying there's still much to improve.
 
Sadly not even Japan's (actually the world's) longest running animated series isn't free of covid-19's spread.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Millions of Japanese viewers of the world's longest-running animated cartoon TV show will have to make do with re-runs from next week after the coronavirus pandemic disrupted production, Fuji Television Network said on Sunday.

Aired every Sunday since 1969, the "Sazae-san" show features the everyday ups and downs of suburban Japanese housewife Sazae and her extended family, is a household name for many generations. It can still attract around 10% of the viewing audience, according to some estimates, for its 30-minute slot at 6.30 p.m. on Sundays. (Japanese website http://www.sazaesan.jp)

The show, adapted from four-frame comic strips by late author Machiko Hasegawa, was acknowledged by Guinness World Records in 2013 as the longest-running animated series, a title that had previously been attributed by the record-keeping organisation to U.S. show "The Simpsons".

A spokeswoman for Fuji TV, a unit of Fuji Media Holdings Inc, said re-runs will begin next week for the first time since February 1975, when the global economy was massively disrupted by an oil price crisis.

While the number of confirmed coronavirus cases and deaths has been low in Japan by some international comparisons, the Japanese economy - the world's third-largest - has been seriously hit by the global repercussions of the pandemic and is expected to have sunk into a recession in the second quarter of the year.

Earlier this month the government extended the country's state of emergency to the end of May as part of efforts to stem the spread of the virus, prolonging shutdowns for many businesses.

On Saturday, long-running manga publication Big Comic said its ruthless hitman series "Golgo 13" would take the first hiatus in its 52-year history as social restrictions to contain the virus have made it difficult to produce the hand-drawn cartoon.

This is a series that has rarely, if ever, been rerun, incidentally, so this is how serious things are.

Also, the Golgo 13 manga is taking a break... which it hasn't in 52 years.
Yep, this is very serious! It shows what attention they have to their craft never to take breaks.
 
Out of sheer boredom I looked into the latest Railgun episode (#13) and it's still as formulaic as ever. Big evil scientist does Level6 plot, MCs saving the day, annoying hench-psyker loli is getting their butt kicked by the sidekick. Time to close the books on Index/Railgun for good.
 

This might as well just be a spiritual successor to Charlotte since, at the end of the day, the main character did become a god, and while on top of that, make this be the alternate ending for Angel Beats! where Yuri decided to become God. Hell, the girl there kinda looks like Yuri.

If it's another 13-episode anime, it's DOA. Nothing's saving it.
 
I watched Beastars and it was really good. I can’t wait for season 2.
 
Decided to give The Quintessential Quintuplets a try since apparently the manga is complete.

I tend to steer clear of harem series, but I'm actually enjoying this one.
