Yes! I think the ending flies in the face of what came before

Well, there’s our plot. A little boring way of revealing this with an exposition dump, but oh well.

I like Violet Evergarden, but this movie was a big miss for me unfortunately

Oh, I don’t have an issue with the links in the post even though I’m not on ani.social. The app just goes to the disc post I selected. I don’t really use it in the browser

Yeah, it’s helpful, although I sometimes forget it exists

That’s pretty excessive, yeah. Especially if you’re a paying user, which you are.

Thanks for the effort you and the other mods put in. It’s appreciated. It’s a small, but overall nice community. I don’t really miss the Reddit alternative. The small size also made me more active in the comments and posts (if only a little) than I was on Reddit. It feels less like you’re posting into a void, especially if you’re a day or two later in the discussion posts.

hilariously bad at handling money

Thankfully he’s got a good guy that allows him to rectify his mistakes.

relationship baiting

Can you already call that baiting?

was not used to how loud all the crickets were at night

Yeah, nature or countryside isn’t necessarily quiet. Crickets or cicadas or whatever can be pretty loud. Their higher pitch makes it more present too. Summertime tends to be the worst.

True, it depends on where you want them to be assertive.

actually recognize their own feelings and communicate with one another.

It shouldn’t be, but it’s such a breath if fresh air

Ayase and Okarun have such great chemistry and their VAs convey it so well

If by being assertive you mean knowing what they want, then I’d say Wotakoi. One of my favourites in general.

It’s wild to me that this got a 2nd season, but so many good anime don’t

S1 is the weakest of the bunch imo. I had the same thoughts initially. Then season 2 started and it just became infinitely better for me.

Also, now that I watched AoT, Kaiju No. 8 feels like a dumbed-down knock-off.

Yeah, it absolutely is.

Why is the name ‘Mihari’ translated as ‘Gard’?

From the anime I’m watching, the only OP and ED that really stand out are the ones from Dandadan. The other ones are fine.

And honestly, that kinda sums up this season in so far in general for me. There are some I’m enjoying a fair amount, but not much that stands out. Even Re:Zero I’m not enjoying as much as I’d have hoped. Maybe I’m in a bit of a slump or I’m watching the wrong things.

I can’t believe there might be more reason to dislike CR.

Are we sure this is not satire?

This doesn’t need to be an anime
