This is the face of someone who has accepted his fate

Oh? Is Makoto going to figure it out or continue to be completely oblivious? That cliffhanger is evil.

Makoto’s father is amazing. He’s supportive and doesn’t make assumptions. He’s just letting Makoto explore their identity.

I don’t care how many times I repeat myself. I fucking love this show!

People around Jun right now probably:

It looks like the anime is now ahead of the manga. Ngl I forgot that the source material is actually a light novel.

Yuki saying that Kuze is the greatest talent produced by the Suou family gives me really bad vibes. There’s definitely more to why Kuze chooses not to exercise his full capabilities than just his own reasoning. It gives me Ayanokoji vibes except Kuze’s issues express differently.

Taniyama feels like a very interesting person. I wonder why Kuze seemed so wary of her because ordinarily no matter how capable she may be, she didn’t seem like she’d be an actual threat to Kuze. I can definitely see how the author was inspired by Kaguya sama.

I call this the Ainz-sama trope and it’s my favourite trope in media.

Noor really is just built different

@rikka@ani.social

That was fucking hilarious! My theory with absolutely no basis is that a dev needed placeholder assets and decided to have some fun.

Also I love how much Haga’s freaking out here.

@rikka@ani.social

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like there’s something off about the animation. I can’t quite figure out what about it bothers me and it’s confusing me.

Anyway it looks like Ayase cleared the test and found a job. Nice. Also Narasaka is annoying.

Ooh Alya being bold

Cute

Now this is what an adaptation should look like. Play into the strengths of the medium and elevate the source material. It really hits different from the manga. The abstract sequence felt like it used the momentum up to that point to take me on a ride with Melt as he grew as an actor. It fits perfectly both in universe and from a meta perspective since this is also an adaptation.

Next up, the showdown between Kana and Akane. I’m excited!

Holy shit Naori is so powerful it’s almost scary. That self-confidence is blinding. Her position in this love triangle really does feel looser as her friend said but in all honesty, I believe her comparison of Jun to that pudding. If she really wants something, she’ll get it. She just cares more about nerding out and having fun.

Also wow Jun’s friend said some crass shit but somehow managed to be the voice of reason. Dude knows what he wants and doesn’t care about putting on airs. I respect it.

Also new meme template just dropped.

Well isn’t that cute. It’s nice to have a drama-free chapter once in a while. Aqua is smiling a lot more and Ruby is truly enjoying her idol work for it’s own sake. She also doesn’t seem to have an unhealthy attachment to Aqua/Goro anymore. Just a normal sibling relationship.

The last page is my favourite but this one’s a close second.

Kind of a slow episode. The exposition at the start felt a bit boring but the rest of the episode was fun.

no thoughts head full of shika senbei :D

I just got done reading Villainess Level 99 Volume 6 and as usual I had a blast!I don’t see anything about volume 7 but the afterword makes it seem like there will be more so here’s hoping. Spoilers ahead. If you haven’t read the series, give it try.

As usual, Yumiella accidentally causes trouble for Patrick but hey, he knows what he signed up for. The whole deal with the Kingdom of Twilight was also more than just window dressing, which is something I really appreciate about the series. It’s not just comedy for the sake of comedy but has real progression too.

I also freaking adore Eleanora she’s so pure. The bit with the Demon Lord texting Yumiella like a JK had me grinning stupidly.

Now to decide if I finish the last 4 volumes of CotE Year 1 first or the three English volumes of Tsukimichi.

This feels really pretentious. I’ll take a look at the source material at some point to see if it’s any good but I’m dropping this anime for now.

@rikka@ani.social

Oh Makoto you cute dumbass

So it seems like Aoi doesn’t necessarily want a romantic relationship, but rather a genuine one. I wouldn’t say she isn’t in love with senpai because it’s too early to tell, but she clearly felt a new and unidentified emotion for Makoto.

Anyway this show is Personal Attack: The Anime for me because every fucking character seems to be calling me out :)

Remember when I said I have no trouble recommending RoshiDere? No? Good.

Masachika really tripped all the flags huh. Ssg protag powers.

That’s what you fucking get kuso imouto
