Oh yeah, now that you mention mid rolls it reminded me I wanted to ask foot anon how he'd rate these.

>>133127
Good feet actually. The details on the tops of the feet and the ankles are well executed. Toes are pretty good too and I like the tendons leading up to them, it's not something that many people draw. Wrinkly sole is the main detractor in my eyes. That combined with the angular lines makes them look like a bag that's had some of the fluid sucked out of it. Makes them look kinda mannish. But for some reason I like them more than that description'd make you think. I like it when feet inexplicably outperform the linear regression model that exists in my head of foot characteristics vs quality.

>>133127
On a macro level I think the ones on the bottom are good but I think the line work is too rough and sharp and that makes many details of the feet look rough and sharp, like the wrinkles >>133135 mentioned.
The ones at the top are fine though.

The only good thing to come out of the debacle that was the introduction of the trio in this anime; the almost dead girl brought MC and his love interest together. Was probably a better way to do it (one without the trio), but all's well that ends well I guess. Fun anime if you skip past the the girls' parts.

￥my face when watching russia girl anime
Stupid, stupid execution of everything. Why couldn't it have been a fun anime. Plot ruined everything. Stupid plot.

Good news: https://anilist.co/anime/181641/Tokidoki-Bosotto-Russiago-de-Dereru-Tonari-no-Alyasan-Season-2/
I don't know what people see in the show personally, but yeah

>>133358
Will probably just be more seitokai election. I don't care for their stupid seitokai election.

>>133357
I wouldn't mind seeing Yuki and her onii-chan compete, but Alya is just so fucking boring that my eyes glaze over whenever she's involved.

>>133363
Exactly. She has no right competing for seitokaichou's seat, she's just a tard that sometimes speaks russian. The current kaichou completely changed himself to get to where he is (albeit to get a girl, but the determination is still there), all through hard work. Yuki is a good candidate for kaichou because of who she innately is in the anime, but russia girl? a tsun-tard.
Her speech of "I am very determined, I am hard working, bla bla bla" sounded like utter bullcrap. I don't for a second believe the student body felt any compassion for her with that being her speech. She has nothing to show to support that. Maybe if you have to tell them about it, you're not actually doing anything to show for it. All of those characteristics are "show, not tell", all that speech should have done for her was paint her as someone who's all bark no bite, making it harder for her to compete in the election. But she was well received for some reason? Then there's MC who makes a couple jokes (?), announces her "rivals" are going to be in the saitokai? and the crowd goes wild? What?
Not to mention the broadcast with Yuki thing. Russia girl could have easily just rejected the offer. The conversation was actually retarded:
Yuki: "Come as a guest!"
"no! you're planning to shame me in front of the entire school arent you!"
Yuki: "No I'm not!"
"Oh, ok then"
Yuki: "Actually, YES I AM!!"
"..."
and she still goes to the fucking radio show? Good thing it only ended with Yuki making her feel bad for her. She could have easily destroyed little miss I speak "russia and no one says anything about it". She should've at most been a support character with the actual show revolving around the siblings, that or she's just the gag girl that deres in russiago with no "I want to be seitokaichou because... because!". She really ruined the anime. Or, they really ruined the anime with her. Or, they really ruined the anime by making her what she is. I don't know, just the anime was ruined.

Megami Cafe S2 ended and it was pretty good. I'd say the humor wasn't quite as good as season 1 overall, but some episodes were really great. The fan service was good, although a bit too much steam at times (and first season's steam wasn't removed for BDs or anything). It still had some butts and lots of nipple-less boobers and pantsu.
S2 increased the seriousness quite a bit, which is kind of ehhh. They weren't exactly bad, but it's just not something I got into the show for. Silly and sexy girls have a special kind of healing if you ask me.
I was a bit surprised by the last episode since one of the harem girls left for France and I guess that shows that it's not just a simple funny harem show. I'd kind prefer if it was, though.

What are your recommendations this season?
I am looking for hidden gems but also not hidden gems as I do not participate in anime discussions so I don't know what is popular.

>>133419
Katsute Mahou Shoujo to Aku wa Tekitai Shiteita
Dungeon no Naka no Hito
Make Heroine ga Oosugiru!
Oshikko
Shoushimin Series
are about the only ones I'm eager to watch every week.

>>133419
You'd need to read my posts, and I don't know what you like

>>133428
why didnt /qa/ like the /qa/ anime?

>>133430
Well, it did have a thread unlike most shows ( >>>/jp/77952 ), but I think it's just hard to talk about. Well, for me it's hard to talk about anime in general, other than "Whoa that was cool!" and stuff.
It's a show I'd recommend for sure if people like a show about people stuck in a video game world that is taken somewhat seriously with some horror-like elements in it.

>>133432
i saw that, you can't hide your mistakes anonymous

you could easily discuss Haga's character since it's pretty interetesting. But you might wind up discussing poltics by doing that

also you could discuss how it makes an isekai into a cosmic horror genre

>>133434
Ehh, he's not that interesting. He's dedicated to his Q&A job, but I can't really say anything else. Horror is also not my thing, but I think it's cool how it uses MMORPG elements for its "death" states. Well, if anyone is interested, go read the /jp/ thread I linked! I think I'm the wrong guy to talk about the show

The old spice and wolf skipped vol.4 and went to 5. Glad they did something not yet adapted. Hoping they continue to 24

>>133430
As the /qa/ QA, it's because it's kinda, sorta, fairly bad.
It's terrible at developing its plot, with sloppy endings, things being regularly dropped, and no long-term storylines, while the amount of character development somewhere between 0 and -1.
Take the mangaka fluffer and his waifu: she's killed by the sadistic crew, and that motivates him to take revenge. Once his revenge is fulfilled, he ends up reviving her, but she has no memory of him and their relationship stays dead. What for? Now he no longer has any goals of his own. His character hasn't really developed, rather it has lost something, so he can aimlessly remain in the party without any regrets. Oh, and the manga subplot dies along her.

>>133434
>>133435
Haga isn't so much a commissar as he is an automaton. You could genuinely switch him with a robot with basic empathy functions and the plot would not change, because he always puts bugs over the well being of others and his actions are never truly contested. When the elf is forced to use the kill command to dispose of Gaydle and Haga once more objects to it, there isn't any sort of re-examining of his beliefs. No "well maybe I was wrong and sometimes cheats are necessary", they just move on and it's never brought up again. When they're trapped in the dungeon and stay stuck in that claustrophic death trap devoid of sunlight for a whole year, they off-handedly comment "we would've gotten out of there much more quickly if it weren't for Haga's debugging" as if that wouldn't stress the hell out of people. All the while the villain succeeds at carrying out their evil plan. Well, too bad, right? Now even more players are dead, guess we'll just move on again after a bit of grieving.

>>133541
>No "well maybe I was wrong and sometimes cheats are necessary",
That's just you injecting your own opinion... The part that's interesting is his borderline sociopathic commitment to his job and how he is terrified of debug mode because it is part of the rules and how you can brick yourself.

Like I don't doubt the plot is weak, but it's a series about constructing atmospheres and it's just sad that you would essay it without understanding that

>>133542
It's not my opinion, it's the reality of the job. And I can't say it's interesting if it never develops and is never challenged.

sengoku recap arc

Spooky

mega spoilers for the next episode

>>133628
sure she will

>>133630
murder is wrong, but I like the fallen angel vibes

also idk what they're talking about but there's like no akane in the later chapters...

The Mahou Shoujo show was quite good. I decided to marathon it all at the end of the season instead of watching 10 minutes every week. Well, it's absolutely beautiful and the characters are quite enjoyable. The main guy is pretty dull with his "unnghh so cute" reactions that got old fast, BUT the rest of the cast is really good. I can understand why someone really liked the brown elf.
But, it does kind of feel squandered somehow. Fun characters only got a few minutes of screentime, like the FUCK magical girl or aforementioned brown elf while the moments with the main guy and main girl kind of dragged on without anything interesting. It makes you appreciate the transformation scenes that are seen only once.

It feels like some studios are starting to get a hang of the digital filters and other post process things. The anime on the TV screen in the last episode seems to advertise this as it had all sorts of "retro" filters placed on it instead of actually drawing in a retro style.

so much of shinobu's character development is done as a byproduct of building Araragi's character. It's so bland. He's such a blemish on the series

I'm storing next season here until we get the next thread

Thank god we have Japan here to tell off the people who think they're immune to criticism

what did you MEAN by this

I don't really keep up with seasonal anime much so I just finished watching Alya-san. I'm disappointed that the progatanist's understanding of Russian wasn't brought up at all, when I was hoping it would appear partway through the series. I don't think the show is objectively good, but it's enjoyable to watch and Alya's Russian voice is enchanting. I'm going to watch Summertime Rending next because I didn't finish it the first time.

>>133817
>Summertime Rending next
crucial question, where did you drop it off?

>>133818
I think episode 5 or 6, with the festival. I was watching it while it was airing, a while ago, so I don't remember exactly.

>>133819
alright, heads up: the plot's gonna shift quite drastically after it ramps up, so don't expect it to be island higurashi like i (and several others) did

I didn't really enjoy any of the isekai last season. At all.

The QA anime was watchable

>>133836
Yeah, it was decent. It didn't really go deep into anything and kept things at the same level of adventure with occasional horror-like stuff, but at least it didn't abandon its premise. The bugs and glitches made it more interesting than most VR game anime. The "to be continued" ending makes me want a S2, but I'm not sure if it will get one.

Oshi no Ko ends on Sunday. Apparently there might be some sort of extensions to the runtime. not sure

Preview of you're into that

>>133820
Thank you, I ended up not doing something else today so I kept watching it. I had seen up to and including episode 7 before and intended to finish it today, but didn't realise it had 25 episodes - I only had up to 11 downloaded. It's really good and I like this sort of setting and theme. I should finish reading Higurashi and Island as well.

oh shit..... it's 6am and the sun is coming out.... and i have to work.....
