Tropical Paradise of Hard Shelled Fruits / Re: What Anime are you watching?

Nippon Sangoku looks really, really nice. I'm wondering if they have a bigger than average budget because of Amazon's direct involvement in production.

Where a (seemingly) normal Japanese person encounters something fucking bonkers but the main character never acknowledges how fucking bonkers it actually is and the show itself feels genuinely boring. I find these more miss than hit with me and this one's no exception. At least With You and the Rain was cozy... although I haven't finished that one either.

I was going to try that other show with a gyaru, that otaku one, but barely a minute in and I was just NOPE. That one's "all boo-hoo I'm an otaku who's into girl anime" and bro comes off creepy. Maybe it gets better but I was not encouraged.

« Last post by Rodent of Unusual Size on Apr 11, 2026, 09:45:53 PM »Barbarian's Bride is a title that reminds me a lot of Farming Life in Another World and Reincarnated as a Slime in that, after getting a good start and getting you into it, begins the tedious task of world-building and relentless excursions "this is a day in the life of X" slogs. Sure, I get it, you want to draw it out. But please. It's a killer of titles that otherwise would be nice, uncomplicated, digestible pieces of simple entertainment. Not everything has to be Legend of the Galactic Mother Fucking Heroes.

I went back to the manga because I thought I misremembered how it began but, yeah, they dragged out a chapter and a half of the manga into 20-whatever minutes. They should've actually done a speedrun to the barbarian not having a beard and ended it there. Maybe even skipping the breakfast in chapter two to get there. Like, dudes, you need a strong first episode. And they thought to end it on a throwaway dick joke.
