I can see To Your Eternity maybe having one more good arc, unless it really goes crazy and time leaps to a futuristic sci-fi setting or something.

I suspect given the way the manga seems like its on its way to a conclusion that it probably doesn't have more one more season's worth of stuff, unless it does indeed turn into Gundam or Star Trek or something.

Part 2 of the manga (the modern era) is considerably shorter than part 1, I think. They can probably fit it all into season 3 without it feeling too rushed.

See Bunny Girl.

beyond the relative strength of the writing i think the central relationship in bunny girl (and monogatari and kyokou suiri and so on) has a very different purpose, and so is afforded an expanded scope, permanence, or direction than in the previous examples. for instance, both bunny girl and monogatari have the protagonist paired up by, like, episode 3 or so, after very direct confessions. araragi even fucks. the uzaki guy will never gently caress, guaranteed.

these shows do offer another model, however, of protagonist as psychoanalyst. sakuta is consulting with a string of women and addressing their problems, but there is no real unease on the audience's behalf that he is doing so for purely libidinal reasons. these are relationships that would ordinarily be very intimate (he's addressing issues that arise from central points of anxiety or crises of identity, after all), but since he is already safely "paired off" we can attribute altruistic/gnostic motives to the relationships with each arc's subject/analysand. while, for lacan, transference as the relationship between analyst and analysand can take on the appearance of being driven by love, hate, etc., it is fundamentally a drive for knowledge and understanding.

in narrative sense, the central pre-established intimacy gives license for new intimacies, and also grounds and legitimizes and humanizes these intimacies (if you like, the agape love to "fix" others is seen as perhaps inauthentic without proof that, yes the character does have eros and storges in there somewhere, but is capable of sublimating them).

Kyle ran a show on Warcraft Radio with his buddies, so did I. We ended up playing a bunch of videogames for the better part of a year because we made friends through that. Went our seperate ways after the station shuttered.

Started Kaina, wasn't big on the CG but it ended up growing on me. The world is interesting but there's just enough there to let your imagination go wild with why things are they way they are. I love the clothing and character design, especially the pressure suits. It gives me a similar vibe to Made in Abyss, and while the backgrounds aren't as good it's also not insanely gross like MiA which is a tradeoff I'll gladly take.

Wondering if it's just a new adaptation of the original manga, or adapting the new kinnikuman content that started coming out over a decade ago that takes place after the original series but before kinnikuman nisei (ultimate muscle).

Danmachi S4 done. Overall, I give it a 7/10

what a long ride in the dungeon this time. Final battle against the thing was okay, just wanted it to be over.

Bell slayed Ryuu's heart at the end of the episode there causing her to run off lol.
Ryuu definitely at the top of the waifu wars now. Gonna be hard to top what she and Bell went thru for a long while.

Think its the last episode this season, but wish there was one more to show everyone else cooling down from the crazy adventure. But I guess that's what OVAs are for.

Absolutely outstanding second half to the Danmachi season. Far and away the best thing they've done. Not even putting a "since season 1" disclaimer here because I just think as a package of 11 episodes it's in a league of its own.

Cheating helped me fail the test and stay on the show.

I tried to read the original manga. The early art is really rough though, and Kinnikuman himself is a loving rear end in a top hat who literally hit his love interest and called her a slut for being kind to Warsman. I know it gets better and that Kinnikuman stops being an rear end in a top hat, but it was pretty tough reading that

One of the things I've appreciated about Mairimashita! Iruma-kun was how it does take the time to do some cooling-down chapters after the big events where everybody can decompress a little and stretch into the new state of things. The anime has actually been able to follow that so far, having the big drama of each season end with a few episodes left so they can do some more subdued ones before they rev up into sequel bait for next season.

I wonder how it's gone over so far. Well enough for another season yet, so it can't have been too badly.
