Essential What Anime are you currently watching?

SLF S2 Episode 3 adapted a little less than 2 chapters of content, but we did get information on some of the other unique monsters that weren't present in the manga. Which I think is the point most people will be most interested in the episode outside the comedy in this episode.

On a different note, don't mess with Towa. Having her the leader of the wolf pack is the obvious selection even if she didn't want to do it. Man her planning and negotiation skills are so good it's actually scary.

Crunchyroll fukked up big time, you don't fukk with someone's private mail or the USPS

Most celebs and entertainers have a P.O. Box. I don't see why his fans would send his mail to Crunchyroll.

TsumaSho has issues writing drama. The concept and struggles of moving on is a good one. But the execution of it so far has been lacking.

I just started watching Vinland Sags. I'm only up to EP 4, but I gotta say, so far Thorifin might be the worst MC in anime history. Just insufferable.

Watching through the first 3 episodes of Beastar S2 and I really like the direction it has taken after S1. The first being that Louis taking over as the leader of the Shishigumi organization. It is a big twist because you wouldn't expect a Deer to be the leader of a Lion Organization. One thing that is clear is that Louis is no longer binding himself carnivores and herbivores, but rather winners and losers. Which is more of an outlook that humans have.

He does have a point that playing fair can only get you so far. Though the curious part is how far he will go and if he can avoid sinking too deep. The timing of this is interesting as the pressure of selecting a new Beastar is rising by the day.

On the other spectrum of carnivores and herbivores, we have Legoshi investigating who could have killed and eaten Tem. Obviously, it is a carnivore at the school. Though why did Six Eyes seek out Legoshi in particular? Most likely how his friendship with Haru is probably the answer for that.

Spoiler: Demon Lord 2099 Episode 3

This show is so much fun and Veltol really makes for a fun protagonist. He is just dense enough where it doesn't become annoying and even so, the comedy works. He is very aware of things and is mindful of asking Machina and Takahashi for their opinion. Furthermore, he works well as a protagonist. Like the scene where he sees Machina in the bathroom was great because he didn't overreact and blush. He simply complimented her body and that she takes care of it. I do feel bad for Machina since it might take away to win over his heart and look at her as a woman rather as one of the underlings of the Demon Lord.

I thought the streaming thing was going to be a gag, but it is serving as a key plot point. Subscribers are equivalent to people that worship him. Well, it is more so they are aware of his presence, which works. I love how he engages his chat and talks to trolls perfectly. It is clear how he got so many subscribers because in most game chat trolls, if they become the vocal majority, can be a pain in the butt for those trying to enjoy the stream and root for the streamer. Veltol can handle this perfectly.

Veltol and Gram's conversation was the best part of the episode to me. Veltol is shocked to see Gram still here, and it only means he is an immortal. Which isn't exactly the case and more so he was gifted eternal youth by the Goddess Medlia. Though given their conversation, it appears that he is not too fond of that. The sad part is that he had to fight the mortals that he was saving in his fight with Veltol. Then the existence of the hero became an obstacle. He was no longer needed by the Goddess.

This conversation does serve the point that being the hero is great and fulfilling at the moment, but the people are willing to toss you aside when you no longer have a place or don't serve a purpose. The interesting thing is that Veltol's belief in preventing conflicts for the weak. Kind of makes you wonder if for Gram, it would have been better if he teamed up with Veltol rather than defeated him 500 years ago. Of course, it is because of Veltol's war that Gram's family died, so what ifs don't exactly work well here.

The fact that gaining stream subscribers is a key plot point

I was wondering was anyone else watching this beside me

One of the nice surprises of the season and the premise is unique and refreshing.

• Taking the usual OP Demon Lord, but forced into a society where he is no longer OP and has to adjust to that.
• Level headed and calculating, which are good traits in a Mc.
• The fusion of a fantasy setting with a cyberpunk setting is really nice.

Spoiler: Sengoku Youko: The Chaos of a Thousand Demons Arc - Episode 14

Man Jinun and Douren's friendship existed long beyond being pillars under Yazen for the Dangaishuu. They were longtime friends and rivals. Honestly, it makes Douren's bond with Senya even better knowing this. Perhaps it is instinct for Jinun to not turn down a challenge for Douren. If he is undefeated against Douren can't have him think he refused a match.

Senya holds tremendous power and the people of the Void and Yazen refer to him as a monster. However, while he may have power equivalent to that of a monster, sometimes it is how you use that power. For Senya to embrace, but to be controlling it is important for his goal of saving all the katawara. For both Setsu & Nau to try to get Senya to stop really implies that in this route he would lose his humanity. Tsukiko who loves Senya wants to save him and be by his side. Curious how the next episode will go.

Tbh it was expected it would be so easy for Tama to save Shakuyaku. You do have to love Tama for not wanting Shinsuke to have to voice her. Though at this point, Shinsuke's resolve is firm, and you see just his presence is breaking through to her mind control. It hurts him to have to fight Shakuyaku, but he fully intends to save her.

yea…. I love how for the most part how level headed he is and how he is adjusting

He’s confident and ambitious but also practical and patient. A cup half full personality type

@twan83 now I get what you meant Bell is going through a new kind of suffering. The episode where Freya charms the whole town just dropped

Spoiler: DanMachi S5 Ep 5

You can't fault Bell for rejecting Syr. Simply put, it never felt that he had romantic feelings for Syr. Syr was a great avenue of support for him since the beginning of the series, but her feelings never got to Bell until the last 2 episodes. The slow burn romance that Freya wanted as Syr was not the approach to use for Bell. It is nice to note that Syr was basically 97% of the time, Freya not Horn. Makes me wonder how much of Freya that we saw up until now was Horn.

Freya went full yan in yandere to get Bell now. I know the Freya family was strong, but the Hestia Family didn't even stand a chance. I do love Hestia's words that Freya being the goddess of Love having a failed love is quite ironic. Hermes knows Freya is to not be fukked with. Though given Bell has only joined the Hestia family half a year ago, he would need to wait another half a year to join the Freya family. It is clear that Hermes is an ally for Freya because he knows Bell can't be the hero if he is with the Freya Family.

But Freya's power play was insane. She said I will wait, but I will make sure you can't do anything about it. Essentially falling to grace like Ishtar did in S2, she basically charms the city to think Bell is with the Freya Family is insane. Even Hermes not think she would sink that low. I assume he believed she had her honor to hold, but she doesn't care about that. So, right now, the only people we can assume to be unaffected are Hestia and Asufi who we assumed left town before she got affected. The key for Hestia seems to be first get Hermes to snap out of it with that note, perhaps.

God Bell's suffering is just depressing. He has no one he can go to. The Freya Family is feared for good reason, so everyone will want no part of him. Hestia isn't in a position to help Bell directly even though it hurts her to see him like that. That is just cruel. This is the worst angle Freya could take to win over Bell unless she can figure out how to charm Bell. That hasn't worked earlier this season or when Ishtar did it. I hope we get the POV of Hestia next episode because continuing on with Bell's side is just going to be depressing AF to watch.
