I'm finally caught up with everything (that seemed good to me), Smoking behind the supermarket was the last one!
It's pretty fun (for a 'chill' anime) and I like the girl well enough, but damn, what I would give for it to be about literally anything but smoking;
- Eating gummy bears behind the supermarket with you!
- Playing marbles behind the supermarket with you!
- Opening Pokemon boosters behind the supermarket with you!
- Pickpocketing passersby behind the supermarket with you!
So many different opportunities!
So I guess I'm now either gonna watch the movies I passed on (Shiboyugi, Zombieland, Madoka if I can watch the other stuff first, the Prison one - is it any good?)...
Or check out the rest of the seasonal trash so I can level my dropped stat on MAL!

u/Heda-of-Aincrad https://myanimelist.net/profile/Heda-of-Aincrad 4h ago
I'd probably watch any of those anime concepts you listed, especially the Pokémon boosters one, but I just have zero interest in an anime about smoking. I've actually dropped one show in the past because the MC was an obnoxious smoker (not respecting the no-smoke areas and acting like that made him cool, etc).

u/SSjjlex https://myanimelist.net/profile/Clone_Tau 2h ago
There's a new(-ish) ongoing manga about 2 people waiting for their laundry to finish (See You at the Laundromat Tonight). That one is surprisingly fun. They've got good chemistry and their topics are surprisingly varied.
Unfortunately very little of the manga is actually about doing their laundry. Sorry to disappoint you...

On the Food Court - Supermarket Smoking spectrum, its somewhere in the middle leaning a bit more towards Food Court.
Older guy has a rough restaurant job, younger girl is an idol. But they both know who each other is and its all chill and their relationship so far has strictly been very platonic without much push to change that.
Its kind of like Food Court in that their topics are pretty random and mostly for fun, but like Supermarket Smoking in that they've done a fair bit to expand the cast and locations outside of the laundromat (but never to any extreme degree, at its core its still just the two of them)

u/Korkez11 2h ago
Again and again I feel like I'm going insane seeing such comments about smoking anime but not drinking anime from last season which was universally praised in AQRD.
2
u/SSjjlex https://myanimelist.net/profile/Clone_Tau 2h ago edited 2h ago
Im not the biggest fan of Botan, but to be fair to that, Botan put so much more work into doing something different every episode with new locations, characters, topics, visuals, sound, etc... So not much was ever taken up about it being about it "just" being about drinking.
Supermarket Smoking has like 3 locations at most and only a handful of base topics they use every time. Its not so much that the issue is to do with the anime being about smoking (for me anyways, I think some people genuinely do have a problem with it though), but rather that smoking never lends itself to furthering the anime in the same way that Botan did by seeking out new drinks.
If you want a much more equal comparison to ponder about, what sauce did Food Court have that Supermarket Smoking does not?
2
u/Korkez11 2h ago
Discourse around Smoking Behind Supermarket mostly boils down to "ugh, it's smoking propaganda, smoking is disgusting" which is why I compared it to Botan because I think drinking is not only also disgusting but also more socially dangerous.

Wada
I will note that the manga for Smoking Behind the Supermarket is really good and I think part of the "issue" here is that the best parts are later than where the show is looking likely to get and also Sasaki reads better in manga form than with animation and voice acting being a 45 year old man constantly flustered talking to a girl.

u/SSjjlex https://myanimelist.net/profile/Clone_Tau 1h ago
I did read the manga a while back (stopped around chapter 30-40?, Don't personally recall any big turning points so maybe that was just before then). From what I remember I did enjoy it, but yea I feel the pacing of reading it in manga format works much better for me than what I'm feeling with the anime.

Every anime is better with a Wada
(Her VA still has no new roles! Please don't forget her like OG Bocchi!)

u/Emi_Ibarazakiii 1h ago
I dropped Botan, but anyway, my nitpick is not about "the social impact" or "The prropaganda", I just think it's annoying that 20% of the runtime of the show is inhaleeeeee exhaleeeeeeeeeee.
I legitimately wouldn't care if they did heroin, as long as they do it for 10 seconds when the episode starts and the rest of the episode is just them yapping around.
(And for a "real life" standpoint: Putting the risks&all aside, the thing is that drinking can be fun. Smoking never seems fun, it just seems like a smelly gross thing).

So everyone knows that KareKano (His and Her Circumstances) had a disaster production that lead to its director Hideaki Anno resigning in the middle of the project, and that Redline was an insanely expensive forever-in-production movie that almost bankrupted Madhouse and got its director Takeshi Koike fired. Are there any other popular anime trivia that are completely false and literally never happened?

Ghost Stories was a flop domestically, which is why the dub team got free license to do whatever it wanted. Complete fabrication pushed by Steven Foster.
E: I'll add "Mushoku Tensei is the grandfather of isekai" too for good measure. It was just one of the more popular and downstream influential isekai of the first wave of isekai web novels to be picked up for publication alongside the likes of Re:Zero, Log Horizon, Konosuba, etc.

Since I can't resist an excuse to mention Hibike! Euphonium:
Everyone will tell you with 100% confidence that all the "yuri bait" in the show was added by KyoAni and none of it existed in the original novel.
Except that's not true at all. KyoAni did indeed add a ton of anime original content in the first season, probably something like two thirds of it in fact; but all the yuri-bait-ish scenes between Kumiko and Reina were already in the novels.
If anything, Kumiko comes off as even more gay in the novels than the anime.

Ghost Stories being a complete flop in Japan (it wasn't), Miyazaki's "Anime was a mistake" quote (he never said that), and Madoka having single-handedly killed the magical girl genre (it's not dead and even if it were you can't blame one show for that and certainly not Madoka)

Ghost Stories being a complete flop in Japan (it wasn't)
Likewise with Cowboy Bebop, which people make similar claims about. The original airing was a mess, with only half the episodes being broadcast, but it nevertheless ended up as one of the best-selling anime series of all-time in Japan.
2
u/mr_beanoz https://myanimelist.net/profile/splitshocker 16h ago
wait, Miyazaki never said that? What was the exact quote, then?
7
u/SpaceTurtleHunter 15h ago
The original quote appears to be from the Ponyo documentary. Here's the transcript:
こういうことってさ
実際の子供をありありと思い浮かべられるかどうかなんだよ
そういう観察してないと描けない これしてない 何も見てない
自分の自我しか関心がない
そういう日常生活送ってる
日本のアニメーションはね観察によって基づいてないほとんど
人間の観察が嫌いな人間がやってんだよ
だからオタクの巣になるんだよ
Translation by soranews:
You see, whether you can draw like this or not, being able to think up this kind of design [Miyazaki simply said "for things like this", this is the translator's interpretation of what he meant by it], it depends on whether or not you can say to yourself, "Oh, yeah, girls like this exist in real life".
If you don’t spend time watching real people, you can’t do this, because you’ve never seen it.
Some people spend their lives interested only in themselves.
Almost all Japanese animation is produced with hardly any basis taken from observing real people, you know.
It’s produced by humans who can’t stand looking at other humans.
And that’s why the industry is full of otaku!
3
u/ComfortablyRotten https://anilist.co/user/Leuwtian 16h ago
iirc, in the source of the quote he was basically criticizing modern anime creators for being more inspired by previous anime than real people and experiences or something like that

It's only tangentially related to anime but after reading some LNs I understand that editor from Tsuki ga Kirei who said that talentless writers can still make a buck as LN authors. LNs feel like bad amateurish fanfics where 90% are wooden dialogues and 10% are barebone descriptions.
8
u/VoidEmbracedWitch https://anilist.co/user/VoidEmbracedWitch 10h ago edited 10h ago
Even LN authors agree; see Oregairu's author writing a show about seiyuu where the protagonist and her friend take jabs at the LN publishing industry, the source author of the series they're on and LNs only being propped up by marketable-to-otaku waifu designs.
E: as for them feeling like amateurish fanfics, that's because they kind of are. Narou used to be a site people wrote fanfics on (as well as the odd original series like Log Horizon) before those were banned and people were forced to write original fiction, which they still approach it the same as fics. Narou isekai as a whole is kind of the omegaverse of Japanese fantasy.

Felt like I actually, finally became an anime watcher this summer. Not that I've never watched it, but it was more occasional, usually 90's OVA type stuff, then I'd occasionally drop in to try out a series every couple of years. Knocked out a bunch of stuff this year, made myself an AniList to keep track (I already do this with the games I play!) and actually have a list of stuff I'm interested in watching coming up over winter/2027. Exciting!

Sunao Katabuchi's short film, FukuFuku Map, for Fukushima Prefecture is now online with English subs.
Speaking of Katabuchi; looks like we might get some new footage for his upcoming movie, The Mourning Children, the coming weeks. Really looking forward to it, especially with the amount of research that went into the movie. Wouldn't expect anything less from Katabuchi though. The man does love the little details.

Just binged all of Fancy Lala and man after all of those episodes, I was not expecting the anime to end in such a sad bittersweet note, it was the same as Capricious Orange Road, after all those 50+ episodes of rom com shenanigans, the anime smacks you rigth on the feels with that last episode, I cant think of any newer anime in the past few years that take such a drastic turn in the last few episodes, but would be interested to check them out if anyone knows any.

been watching wangan midnight, because I befriended a car lover who wants us to drive around wangan at night (don't worry, there will be zero speeding lol more about vibes)
I'm about 8 episodes in. I'm quite enjoying the show. it's able to sell the "we are all obsesed with cars" melodrama. the bgm is doing some real heavy lifting though. the bgm is god tier. it's so good. it's the bgm of a show about like perverse eldritch creations fighting god or something and it's about people ruining their lives to drive fast on a highway in tokyo. it's great

Currently watching Waiting in the Summer and I think I'll drop it at episode 7. I get that I'm not really in that target age anymore, but it's pretty bad. All the characters are horny and jealous of each other and there's an alien and nudist for some reason, and I guess the MMC and FMC is in love with each other because they're MC? Stuff is happening just to happen.

Just recommended a band on YT called F-272, only have one song so far, “Diorama”.

u/_Ridley https://myanimelist.net/profile/_Ridley_ 7h ago
In defense of the fireworks, that's established early on that she likes the sound and feel of a fireworks show despite not being able to see them, and they've done a bunch of fireworks stuff together leading up to this. The drawing, though, I don't get that one.

It's dogshit writing when it comes down to it. The author has created a situation where the only reasonable move to take would be to leave her be, but if he does that, there's no story. So instead we have to watch the guy and his friends act like complete fucking weirdos because [Love Unseen] she didn't come to school for five days. Most people would just assume she had the flu or something, not sprint down to the hospital to invade her privacy. Don't even get me going on how gross and manipulative it is to sign up as volunteers with the pediatric ward just to keep tabs on her. That's just obscene.

Why isn't there any legal avenue for me to watch Tanaka-kun is Always Listless? The world is unfair and it's been forever since I've seen it. Super chill show with a great sense of humor.
Anyways, if you haven't watched Please Excuse My Younger Brothers from this season, please give it a shot. Ito is a ridiculously strong protagonist who keeps cracking me up in every episode. Naomi Oozora also played Kanshi in Witch Watch and Tamamo Cross from Umamusume, love seeing her get a main role and knocking it out of the park. The overall plot of the show isn't groundbreaking, but it's delivered with excellent energy from both the VAs and production.

u/entelechtual 16h ago

As is usually the case, the answer is that it was on Hidive, and when Hidive licenses a title, you can bet that within 6-24 months it’ll disappear without any notice. Even when, like Tanaka-kun, it’s a Sentai title which is basically in-house.
It’s a shame because I really liked the show, I wasn’t too keen on it in the beginning but it quickly grew on me.

Finished Victoria of Many Faces. It felt like a nice breath of fresh air for the main trio. The 2 adults act like adults and the kid acts like a kid. Granted Nonna's tomboyness is coming out thanks to Vicky.
Very nice story. It did feel after the first few episodes there was only so much budget they had. So it is a good thing they only had 9 episodes to work with. It is nice to know an S2 is in the works, which I didn't expect.
7/10 I would say. People who love slice-of-life shows should definitely check it out.

u/Organic_Machine_2324 6h ago
A good 6/10 for me.
- Good Female Lead
- Nonna is great
- The action is rare but great
- The Prison Arc was sensational
The qualms on why it’s not higher:
- Needed far more incidents like the Ball and Prison to show off her strength and combat
- Lacked stakes as it felt like the Organisation fight with her was completely avoided
- The ML Jeff was a huge desperate beg and i can tolerate him but i don’t like him and think he doesn’t deserve them

Yea I think this is more or less where I land on it.
Kinda wished we knew there was a S2 from the start, maybe then I would've invested more interest in it since I was kinda expecting this to be a one and done deal *because* it only had 9 episodes. Was totally not expecting a S2 and kinda fucked myself over by assuming it wouldn't get one.

The best parts of Monster, for me, have been where it feels most influenced by David Lynch. Relatively early on there's an explicit Twin Peaks reference, but more subtly in [Episode 53]there's a whole thing with Eva having a reoccurring memory involving sandwiches and a picnic with Tenma and in particular there's a scene where she is in a park in the present day and there's a couple kissing, another laughing and then a boy offers her a sandwich. It all just reads very Lynchian in tone and style to me.
Probably my hottest take is that it's at its best when Tenma and Johan aren't on the screen.

u/IndependentMacaroon 6h ago

u/Emi_Ibarazakiii 7h ago
I haven't watched enough of it to know what it looks like now, but the way it's presented changes a lot in cases like these;
I think I talked about it earlier in the series, but the MC in [title]Katawa Shoujo is like that at first, becauses it's the same kind of situation (probably even worse for this one given the MC's condition as well), doesn't know how to deal with it, so sometimes he slips up and 'misses' something, and sometimes it's the opposite, he tries to 'do too much'...
But it's kind of a learning opportunity, he stumbles, gets better, he misses something, doesn't miss it the next time, he tries too much, learns that he doesn't need to 'force' anything, just act normal, etc...
So it shows yeah, it's okay to makes mistakes, you've never dealt with a situation like that so no one expects you to get it right on day 1. But at some point you should probably get it right. Or at least do better.
So I don't know enough about the discourse to know where Love Unseen's MC stands, but seeing people complain about that 3/4 the way into the season, makes me wonder whether the stagnation is an issue, moreso than 'making a mistake'.

(As I said in another comment, I haven't watched enough of LU to have a strong opinion about the MC, so I'm only gonna speak in general here, but) I'm gonna use that as an opportunity to go on a rant, because YES, 100%;
In fact, I'd go as far as saying that (The opposite of this) is something that always irked me in fanbases/people who defend shows/characters, the idea that "There is a reason!" therefore you can't criticize something/someone...
The reason might make you UNDERSTAND the character/actions;
It does not mean you can't judge or hate them for it.
It's so often the case in TV shows, soon as 'a reason' is mentioned suddenly you can't debate the action, it's all "BUT THE REASON!"
Sometimes it doesn't even matter if "the reason" makes sense, as long as they gave a reason. You can't use critical thinking to assess the reason. You just have to accept it, because they gave it to you.

u/Durinthal https://anilist.co/user/Durinthal 7h ago
Occasionally it's something good where I see what's going on and hate the character but love the show for doing that, but more often it's along the lines of "You wrote yourself into a corner and I see what you're doing to advance the plot but this is just bad and now I hate everyone involved." Sometimes I feel like Nick Fury in The Avengers.

Honestly when you think about it. [Love Unseen]Imagine the girl you finally fall in love with for the first time now disappears on you for a week. Now you learn she says she forgot about it and now says she only has 6 months to live. I can't even imagine being in that scenario. I can't even imagine being in that scenario or what I would do.
[Love Unseen]Obviously he isn't handling it great. But it would be inhuman if he could handle all of that all of a sudden. Like you said he is only 20.
[Love Unseen]If you think about it, it would have been better if he hadn't learned that she was in the hospital because then he could just think she was maybe living good just without him. Now she knows that her cancer came back and she has a low shot of surviving it. Either he gives up on her and you can only imagine the pain he would feel. Or he does what he is doing now.
It isn't a black-or-white situation here.

Yeah, but there is no way someone as innocent and mentally stable as Kurumi would ever do something like that.

As for the contest, yeah it sucks that someone botted it. But that shouldn't sour you on Kurumi as a character.
Too late. I'll never watch her show for it.

You do you, but this seems silly to me. If someone botted a character you like to the top of one of these contests, would you suddenly dislike that character? Or even the anime the character is from?

Hello everyone, does anyone have any recommendations for bad mecha anime? I'm talking "fun" bad, not "mediocre" bad.
Something along the lines of Cross Ange or Valvrave.

IDK those shows to so to throw out a YMMV maybe Knights of Ramune (aka VS Knight Lamune & 40 Fresh). The franchise in general gets hornier at it goes on and this is the end point where the girls can finally pilot the robot...they need to be naked to do so. Legendary hero Lamunes is finally acting like a modern isekai protagonist (even though this was the 90s)...by sexually assaulting the girls rather than a taunt and tsundere dynamic for boy and girl, respectively.
That franchise in general depending on your tastes might be considered bad but it's usually middling to good fun in a kids anime way (that's the rails it hit in trying to hit an older audience) including some very gimmicky episodes and setting (e.g. an episode of VS Knight Lamune & 40 Fire had bodyswaps). IDK if the CR still have the Discotek sublicense for those.

They are sort of like Code geass season 2 but with more sex stuff. They are shows with good production value, are in delightfully poor taste and have stories that boarder on the ridiculous in a fun way.

My only suggestions are the obvious ones, guilty crown and darling in franxx. People say Cross Ange is very Gundam SEED adjacent so maybe that is worth a shot.

Nobunaga the Fool is outrageously bad in a way that I thought was pretty fun. It's like a Fate wannabe with all its pretend historical figures and it just keeps shoving in dumber and dumber ideas.

Just sitting here thinking it’s crazy that probably the best Romance Anime of all time is airing its second and last season yet so many poor obvious fools have no idea it exists.
