On the fourth season of Encouragement Of Climb, and they made the bold choice to have the first four episodes of a 12 episode season be mostly recapping the three previous seasons.

On the other hand, the previous seasons were 15 minute episodes and this is 30, so even with only 8 episodes of new content, that still makes it more new content than Season 3.

 

Encouragement of Climb is one of my favorite anime. I'm so happy that such a wonderful season can potentially wrap up the show. There is evidence that this is the end, but considering the atmosphere, it's likely.

 

Finished up Mob Psycho III last night. Very bummed I dont have any more to watch but also extremely satisfied with the ending. I could watch endless seasons of these characters just living their lives in Seasoning City.

 

Been reading a ton of manga recently. I'm gettin' real sick and tired of fan service in the romance genre, boys. Either you have competent writing to keep your readers entertained or you don't. Don't try to wiggle your way out of it.

I read one that was SO close to being good. Frustrating.

Anyway, I'm done reading Isekai right now and I'm deep into romantic comedies/slice of life. I haven't found any I think ANYONE should read, but I'm hopefully. I'm only like 25 deep into like 1000+ of this list.

 

Nana is easily my favourite that I've read of romance/slice of life. That shit got me EMOTIONAL.

 

As someone else who hates the way a lot of romance manga handles romance and fanservice, I would rec Bonnouji. Really chill manga about two complete dorks falling for each other.

 

I'd highly recommend Toradora!

 

Love Toradora. I see the pool scene in comps now and again and my feels get hit every time.

 

So when is S2 of Chainsaw Man because I need more

 

I have seen Toradora but I have not read it.

 

Fan service is very annoying, but the most annoying part of romance anime is taking 26+ episodes for the main couple to finally accidentally hold hands.

 

I hate the ones that also just rush things once they confess/get together. The one I read the confession itself didn't hit well and I was disappointed.

 

I wish they’d adapt GE: Good Ending manga into anime.

Just started the rent-a-girlfriend anime.

 

Yeah… it was pretty bad. Definitely one of those that shouldn’t have even been on the table.

 

I finished Encouragement Of Climb. Shout out to random English-speaking couple reappearing in the final episode.

I could honestly watch the adorable mountain-climbing adventures of Aoi and friends forever and ever, but I will agree it left in a good place that made an ideal ending for the series.

Next: ReLife.

 

Started watching Made in Abyss recently. I'm going in completely blind other than knowing that it involved eldritch horror/disturbing vibes, which piqued my interest. It felt more or less like a standard adventure anime until I hit episode 10 of season one. Yeesh, that was a tough watch. Curious to see where it goes from here.

 

ReLife makes me sad.

 

Read all of Dandadan that's been released and it's very, very good. It never slows down, is always interesting and feels fresh and they just very naturally throw in new characters when you least expect it and they're all enjoyable to get to know.

Highly recommend.

 

I also hear that it’s getting an anime adaptation which will be rad.

Also highly recommend.

 

Fujimoto's former assistants are cracked. People who've worked with him in that capacity have gone on to produce Spy x Family, DanDaDan and Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku. Kinda crazy.

 

I just read a disaster of a manga. It was so so soap opera driven and the characters became unlikable and unrealistic and it was always "oh he's with this girl, but now this girl kisses him and everything gone to shit, but now it's better and he loves her, but then everyone actually loves some other person so let's blow this whole thing again" and it was just such bullshit.

I read stuff off of MangaDex and I check some ratings on other sites and I swear the bar is set so low nowadays. Everyone rates anything that even has some miniscule possiblity of quality as if it's fucking fantastic.

People need to start handing out more 2's, 3's, and 4's so we can actually get some fix the system.

 

Mildly wondering which manga it was and if it's had an anime.

 

Oh damn, had no idea it was by the same author that did Domestic Girlfriend.

The work was called GE Good Ending.

There's some other issues I had like how they dealt with trauma and how they just randomly threw things in at weird times to artificially add to the characters or story.

 

Yeah, that sounds like the same author. I didn't dislike the Domestic Girlfriend anime when I watched it, but I also wouldn't disagree that it's somewhat of a trashy soap opera. I read what happens after the anime and find it frankly ridiculous.
