Dragon Dentist is interesting and has some interesting background stuff I'm curious about. The Pacific War with the IJN having Dragons? I'm curious.

I hope the second episode doesn't get too bogged down in that stuff. The characters and the dragons are more interesting to me

It was a short film but then they expanded it into a two episode miniseries. The first episode dropped today. It's good

I wish the thought of yuri wasn't essentially the sole reason to push me over the edge to give Scum's Wish a show but whatever. Excellent show so far! I love melodrama! And Fuuka isn't delivering.

Unrequited yuri, alas, but it hasn't been demonized so far, so there's that! (I haven't seen the latest ep yet, so if things change, welp.)

There was just some pretty heavy kissing at the end of Ep 2. So that's a point so far!

Yeah I'm only three episodes into Scum's Wish (it's literally only thing from this season I'm watching as I play catch up from last year) and I've been pretty surprised by it so far, it's a wild ride

Scum's Wish seems like a very pretty and well written show, but I keep hearing about how miserable and unhealthy everyone in it is and it keeps turning me off - at least until I have a vague idea of whether or not it ends halfway happily.

i feel like this aspect of the show is over stated. they may be all awful and not happy people but overall the main draw for the show is that the plot is actually interesting (and i say that as someone that finds slice of life loving dreadful normally) and the direction/production values are superb

yeah i mean i thought thats what slice of life meant, only its more realistic than a show about a bunch of moe girls idk doing a thing. i have no idea how kuzu no honkai doesn't fit that genre

though of shows this season i guess tanya the evil would be slice of life for me since its about an army officer that wants to kill god

Yeah, I watched the first episode as part of the stream, and while it seems like it's probably a pretty good show, I have enough crushing depression in my real life that I don't think I want to watch a serious show about a bunch of people being miserable all the time.

Also, if that counts a slice of life then I think "slice of life" has become a uselessly broad descriptor.


In other news, I did break down and watch some Kemono Friends after all. It's alright, but doesn't really live up to the absurdly high level of popularity it has.

Slice of life is for normal life things, not deviant heretic life things, hth

Scum's wish is very good tho, it reminds me a little bit of welcome to the NHK, in that the entire cast is broken in some way. :v: I'm now sure the "oniichan" is also broken, we just don't know it yet.

Scum's Wish is ... hmm I had a lot of words written here, but it's easier to just say Scum's Wish is School Days 2017.

I find it humorous and fun to watch.

Not what anyone was expecting, right?

However...if you think that's not interesting enough, there's also a translated plot summary.

Which kind of spoils the surprise, but I think the intrigue also balances things out nicely.
