Thanks for pointing this out. I have disabled future threads for this show. It will still be requestable if somebody in a different region with a different release schedule wants a thread.

…unbelievably terrible move by netflix

The fans would be cool about it I think given how they are Urumin x Kimiya shippers already. The real danger is if the other members find out.

The closest thing I can think of is Taisho Otome Fairy Tale. However, the MC loses function of his hand/arm early in the story due to an accident. Everything else seems to fit though. I remember reading the beginning of the series, but dropped it pretty quick. I don’t remember why though, probably just had too many series to keep up with.

I am up to date with the manga and thought that this first episode was better than I thought it would be (the dragons weren’t even crappy CG). It’s a fun story if you don’t mind the extremely socially anxious main character (Bocchi, etc.). I hope that they keep up this quality for the rest of the season and give Nero more opportunities to be his cool self.

I love this series so much.

Some of those Sumi faces seemed like straight traces of Kubo when she went into moe-blob form.

This specific point of terrorizing the boss? Nope. I just went and checked. They combined two story beats into one in episode 10. They had Alicia grinding in the dark-element dungeon (instead of just getting lost in it) with Yumiella’s help and beating the boss over and over again. That is where they found the dark and light swords (and a wind spear for Patrick). However, the boss never really showed recognition of Yumiella or terror at her approach.

Now we are back in Saki’s POV. It’s great to see Kanon having fun and being social, but it is certainly a change for Saki. I think that it is an interesting idea to explore the dependence that builds up between somebody that takes on the role of a caretaker and the one being taken care of. Now that Saki isn’t needed as much by Kanon, how does their relationship change?

I can’t say I am a huge fan of Kanon’s mom pushing for them to be living apart…like, what’s the harm? Does she want Kanon to be more independent? If that is the case, it’s already happening (as Saki is finding out). In any case, I do agree that there is a big difference between being roommates and just living very close to one another.

They really underplayed how much PTSD Yumiella gives this dungeon boss. I remember feeling genuinely bad for it by the time her trip ended when I read this in the WN.

We just cracked a dozen chapters and she already realized her feelings. Good stuff!

That little omake at the end was so adorable. Chokki-chan just needs her fix sometimes, you know?

I will never not love Aqua and Eris jokes.

This one is sugar overload. I was annoyed in the beginning when they waited until the end of break to hang out, but they certainly made the most of it.

The pens! Also, I see a bit of Suzuki watching us in that sword reflection.

I haven’t read the latest on this one, but it was a fun premise. It’s still very early in the story though.

Curious to see where this manager/pig arc is going. I wasn’t expecting him to stay a pig for this long.

As a meta comment, I believe I have enabled all the shows from last week’s discussion thread at this point so that the bot will make threads for them. If you are in need of a refresher of how the bot works, here is the wiki page. For a tl;dr version:

• If the bot doesn’t make a post for an episode you want, you can request it by pm. Don’t make the thread on your own or it will likely be removed.
• The bot will stop making threads for an airing show when it sees that there were no comments on the previous week’s episode. So, if you want to keep a show’s threads going, keep discussing it.
• Feel free to tag the bot in the comments with a screenshot that you want to be the lead image. Please no spoilers or NSFW in these images. Also, be patient. This part isn’t automated so that I can screen the images. I have to do all the images by hand, so it might not happen for a bit depending on my availability.

Sorry, I just noticed your meta question. I always hate when shows do this…

So, in past seasons when this has happened, AniList usually has the airtime listed as the first available release. So, in this case it would be a week ahead since that is when Netflix JP has it available. Since very few members of this forum probably have access to that, the thread would likely sit fallow for the better part of a week and is not going to get much activity.

In past seasons, what I have done is disabled automatic thread creation for shows like this, so that users can request a thread from the bot when they have had the chance to watch the episode and want to discuss it. We might have to end up doing something similar this season. Let’s wait and see how the AniList api shakes out.

My spring recap:

• Apocalypse Hotel - easily my AOTS. I just finished the finale and this show stuck the landing and is going to be one that I remember for a long time.
• Rock is a Lady’s Modesty - I have yet to watch the finale, but I have enjoyed this a lot. If Bocchi isn’t angry or yuri enough for you, then give this show a shot.
• Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire - I can see why this is compared to Eminence in Shadow, but I don’t think it was as well executed with some slow periods through the season. The Guide vignettes were usually my favorite parts.
• Slime 300 - I only made it about halfway through the season before dropping it due to time. I am definitely going to finish it sometime though.
• Apothecary Diaries - I have the last couple episodes yet to watch, but the finale it is building up to looks like it will be great. Another excellent season.
• Gundam GquuuuuuX - Despite making the discussion threads for !gundam@ani.social, I am woefully behind on this show. I feel duty-bound to finish it though. o7
• Kowloon Generic Romance - I ended up dropping this one due to time, but I would be interested in coming back to it at some point. It had a really interesting premise and the KWC vibes were excellent.
• Lazarus - I dropped this after episode 2 and, based on the feedback I have seen elsewhere, I was right to do so.

Edit - Can’t believe I forgot to mention these:

• Ninja and Assassin Under One Roof - This was a fantastically produced show that is probably one of the best dark comedies I have seen. It is really messed up and super dark quite often, but always manages to stay funny. It’s a weird feeling.
• Too-Perfect Saint - I thought this was a well done adaptation despite the very limited production. If you are a fan of this genre, you could do much worse.
