It aint a bad show so far, but it's obvious how much Yu Yu Hakusho inspired this. Ichigo = Yusuke, Chad = Kuwabara, Rukia = Botan, Orihime = Keiko, Uryu = Kurama, I guess they building Renji up to be Hiei. It's not even like they tried to hide the shyt bruh it's obvious where this show got it's inspiration from, only thing is while this isn't a bad show so far it really can't hold Yu Yu Hakusho's jock strap. Yu Yu Hakusho is GOAT level, this isn't on that level... except the soundtrack, Bleach's soundtrack so far is GOAT level... that's about it though.

Nah, it was inspired definitely, Ichigo and Yusuke are similar. but the rest of the comparisons aren't on point. Outside of the characters, it's not even structurally YYH. Kubo takes from that show and so many other sources.

I had to drop it..it have me am usagi drop flashback.:huhldup: I don't like these age gap anime series with salary men and high schoolers. There's another series airing now with a creepy salaryman in love with a high school girl. When will Japan drop a great rom series with adults like Nana?


:yeshrug: This would never happen this often, if they adapted more rom/com written by women authors. But those don't get attention like show like that harem mess on Jump or My Kouhai/Sister/whatever & me" show.

I watched Lain with feelings ranging between :comeon: to :snooze: until the end

but then I was like damn this is beautiful when it was over :mjcry:

Opening song is GOATd tho

I feel like I'm having dissociative episodes watching this show. Probably empathize with Lain too much.

The mom is the star of the show. On some, I'm just here so I don't get fined type of time.


Thats the thing with Serial Lain's writer, Chiaki. Its a slow burn experience and then towards the end it hits you deep. I had a similar experience with his other work, Texhnolyze. It was too bleak and cynical..but in the end it was beautiful.

I was thinking about that series for days. :mjcry:

I'm enjoying it so far. I like anime with superpowers. It reminds me of a good version of Darker than Wack Black.

The opening song is fire..... If Illuminati was an anime series it would be Speed Grapher. way too many refs.







this is probably the trashiest anime genre, so who knows. Nana got like 50 episodes too which you never see from the genre anymore.

I think this show at least has potential to not be fukked, because the MC is a morally upstanding guy who is only interested in his adult co-worker. And the HS girl needs counseling, adult mentorship more than love (which should be the direction it goes in). but you never know.


phew.. atleast they are going through the safe route unlike koikimo , which is another spring 2021 series where a creepy salaryman stays pushing up against a highschool girl.. we'll probably get a series like nana once every 20 years..i cant even count the number of rom series with adults..Rose of Versailles is another one.

Nodame Cantabile
Maison Ikkoku
Spice & Wolf
Honey & Clover

are some of the classics. None of them after 2010 oddly enough.

Golden Time is all college aged characters and is romance.
