What Anime are you watching?

"Good Bye, Dragon Life" is aggressively mediocre.

I've become something of a basic bitch of an anime fan. The only thing I'm currently watching that isn't on Netflix is Negative Positive Angler.

The Netflix stuff is just Blue Box, Dandadan, Dragon Ball Daima, and Ranma One-Half. Shueisha properties, all!

Thank goodness NegaPosi is Kadokawa. Modicum of credibility maintained.

I finally cancelled my Crunchyroll sub before they billed me this month. I know going the legal route is heresy or whatever but actually liked having it when I had things to watch. Like when I got it, it was the Fall 2023 and then Winter 2023 seasons and I watched a lot of stuff. And it made watching anime at my friend's house a breeze. But now I'm in an anime desert again and Dandadan is on Netflix. So it's whatever.

Also, my fucking Chromecast keeps booting me out to the point that I haven't felt like watching TV. Why should I when I put on a movie or show on and I just get kicked out over and over again. I know this is just Google's bullshit: they just want me to upgrade my hardware to whatever the fuck. A fancy white one or the Streamer or whatever. But I don't feel like. I'll just watch on my laptop and they can go fuck themselves. But when I do that, well, far easier to "yo ho ho," you know.

Well, I can totally understand that. This season is dry AF. For me, anyway. And it sounds like you feel similarly.

I had stockpiled the second season of Oshi no Ko with the intention of binging it later, and I finally got around to it. I think I got about half way through the second episode before stopping and tossing it all in the trash. All this fucking nattering about adapting a manga to a stage play, holy fuck. "Get me out of here!" I roared. And that was that.

Raise wa Tanin ga Ii has been an unexpected hoot. Yakuza granddaughter being married off to a yakuza grandson...she's normal, and he's not, hijinks ensue. I've been slowly dipping into the new for season stuff, and that's the first I've really dived into.

Trailers/teasers and whatever. A lot are coming up in my feed.

Apothecary Diaries 2 teaser but it doesn't appear to be teasing much.

This one looks kinda fun. Read a bit of the manga and it's entertaining.

The key to me liking this one is what kind of plot it has after she punches everyone. I've read a tiny bit of the manga and I just wasn't sure where it was going afterwards.

Can't tell if this looks cute or if it's trash.

Medical detective?

This is BL but I like it visually that I might just give it a shot.

This one also looks fun.

I'm pretty much done with this show but I'll still post the trailer. The woman (Kudo's mom, maybe) forcing Miyo into a maid's outfit to make her clean.... UGH. I just don't like anime that have an aim to make a character suffer and that's the vibe I'm getting from this.

The first episode of Fate/Strange Fake dubbed was streamed on the Crunchyroll YouTube. Meh, it was all right. I don't find any characters outside of Assassin, Archer, and Saber of much interest. The loli's fucking annoying.
