What's with those sentence long titles in the winter lineup? I guess those are isekai novel adaptations to anime, right?

also the loli ice skating anime is better than anything released in 2024 so far

>>109551
Already liking it more than the last AOTS. They got rid of the parent drama which easily could’ve wasted 3 episodes in any other anime. The big problem is that the subs are dubtitles.

>>109553
it has two english subs as shown here >>109542 , which one is dubtitles? or does it also have two dubs?

Wait, the last season ended?  I didn't even notice on account of there being fuck all to watch.

Didn't know that there were two subs, the hulu one is better whereas the disney one is the dubtitles. There's also [whomst] who is releasing a revised version of the hulu subs. I've been looking through the twitter account of this anime and there are so many lolis and one shota

>>109557
the whomst release is a revised version of the disney subs and the "whole-ass" niggerbabble is still there so I still prefer the hulu subs

The long title sickness is also infecting proper manga. Okitsura, for example, has 21 kanji/hiragana signs in its title.

Really? Count the numbers. Even among novels it was always dismissively small. For example gender-bender has bigger presence than ojiisan.

Had some hope for Momentary Lily and Zenshu but Momentary Lily just looks so ugly, both because of the backgrounds but also the coloring. Initially I also thought that they had way too many characters, both Ayame (black glasses) and Hinageshi (gamer glasses) could be the same character but it seems like that issue will fix itself. And Zenshu is just a fucking isekai in hiding

>>109641
I kinda like how Momentary Lily looks. I don't know if I am in the minority.

I just started watching the new Grisaia anime and immediately dropped it.
It was from the same studio as these shitty movies that came out in 2019 and 2020. Nothing to do with the original, NO ECCHI, NO HAREM, NO ACTION.
Yes it's ecchi harem action anime based on an EROGE. Except without all of that to make it child friendly for 5 year olds. It has nothing to offer.
What are these retards thinking? It's like selling a dildo with nails on it to prevent insertion.
Now nobody is happy. Well done.

>>109805
Google bait-and-switch marketing.

>>109809
I know but it made me so sad.
I was so happy when I saw a third season of Grisaia airing only to be deeply disappointed.

Last season we had fat elves and this season is all shit again. Seems Beheneko is the only ecchi this season. I'll try that but I'm not sure I'll like it. It seems to be another isekai as vending machine/sword/pet-creature-x anime.
Everything is slop.

The reason I'm so repelled by this isekai as non-human shit is because they can't have a human relationship even if they manage to communicate and usually the mc is some submissive slave.

>>109830
>I'll try that but I'm not sure I'll like it. 
Hope you like unironic and in-your-face yaoi faggotry.

>>109831
The isekai sword is a guardian to an underage kid, so there would be little difference, considering his mental age.

>>109835
Yes, it feels like they spend more screentime showing the faggot bar keeper than nipples.

>There has been an increase in young Japanese men seeking relationships with significantly older women, with men in their early 20s are showing more interest in women who are 10 to 15 years older.
>According to a marriage consultant, the reason for the rise in popularity is that older women are seen as tolerant and patient with younger men, seeing them like "younger brothers". They also believe they can "educate" them into good partners. In contrast, younger women marrying for the first time tend to have higher expectations and unrealistic ideals, making relationships harder to maintain.

Supply, cost and demand. Limited shelf life makes them less demanding. And years of single working adult life makes them more financially independent, less likely to mooch off as the price of companionship. Less entitlement  vibes stemming from "compensated dating" common among the younger female crowd. I'm just shooting the breeze. Ask someone living in Japan.

These cakes have already been eaten and shat back out.

I was hoping this sentai-in-an-isekai show would do something interesting with the premise, but sadly I think I'm about to drop it.  Isekai writers really are a sad bunch extremely resistant to breaking out of the tropes of their genre.

>>110555

More like what didn't happen.  They made some very mild jokes about how silly sentai is and then went on their merry way retracing all the bland Dragon Quest III tropes.  If you're gonna do a genre parody it needs to take off the kiddy gloves.

Expected this season to dive into the tournament arc, liked the heroes of the first season more and the first season in general more than this one. Not a fan of build-up seasons like this one when they're just one cour and you have to wait a year until the next season. I'll probably watch the third season but I'm curious on how they're even gonna do a tournament arc with spectators when some of the hereos have indiscriminate AOE abilities.

Went into this expecting a House type of show with each diagnosis being the most ridiculous disease imaginable, but it was surprisingly grounded. My main issue is with the first case, how did the doctor put enough force onto the dinosaur for him to actually rip off the guy's leg? Maybe fossil teeth are a lot sharper than I think. 
>Kono Kaisha ni Suki na Hito ga Imasu
Seinen romance, not anything spectacular.

So is all the mystery in Re:Zero done now, then?  Wasn't that the whole point of the story?  Subaru uses his special ability to unravel the mysteries of a confusing world that wants to kill him at every opportunity?  I don't care about all these uninteresting side characters, I want to see some actual character development and mysteries to solve again.
