Premieres January 2025. Check out the Crunchyroll article for additional information. Synopsis from AniList:

Yui Mitsuya and Masugu Tateishi aren't just any coworkers-they totally have the hots for each other. His helpful yet humble attitude makes her giddy, and her cuteness leaves him grinning like a fool. Problem is, they're trying to keep their new relationship under wraps to avoid making things awkward at work. But seeing how they can't keep their hands off each other, they run the risk of spilling their little secret with each passing day at the office.

Happy Brithday !anime@ani.social! This clip comes from episode 1.

I guess you won't be celebrating with me based on that response though ☹

Rewatching this part of the episode caused me to literally laugh out lout at just how over the top edgy Heero was being. The musical sting that happens after he drops his line is really what pushed it over the top for me.

It's been a whole year of posting in this community! It's hard to believe it's been that long. It feels like just yesterday that I created this account after the drama surrounding the defederation from the ml instance.

Something that I mentioned briefly in the post up above, but wanted to call out once more, is that hitagi might not be nearly as visible as I am in this community, but they actually do a lot behind the scenes to keep things running. In addition to everything involved with the infrastructure of running the instance, I was just looking through the reports I have received, and roughly half of them were resolved by hitagi prior to my ever seeing them. It also works out nicely that the two of us live on basically opposite sides of the globe, meaning that we have pretty good time zone coverage. So, even if they aren't posting as much as I am (I mean, who is really?), hitagi has been a vital part of keeping things running smoothly here.

As a sort of unofficial celebration of the anniversary, I am happy to do a kind of mini-AMA in this thread if people have any questions for me that are on their mind (either anime-related or not).

Happy Birthday! Ok, it might not be a birthday in the strictest sense, but it has officially been one year since I made the first general discussion thread in !anime@ani.social and was appointed as a moderator. Can you believe it? I don't really have anything special to say about it other than to thank everybody here for being great members of the community. Thank you for this first year and I look forward to another year with all you goofballs. Also, special thanks to hitagi for creating the space for this community to exist (and handling a big chunk of reports before I even see them).

Just in case it wasn't clear, you can absolutely use this thread the same way you would use any other general discussion thread. Let us know about things you have watched, ask about things you want to watch, show off some merch you just got, whatever. Go wild! (within the rules)

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).

No premiere date announced yet. Check out the Crunchyroll article for additional information. Synopsis of the first season from AniList:

Saitama has a rather peculiar hobby, being a superhero, but despite his heroic deeds and superhuman abilities, a shadow looms over his life. He's become much too powerful, to the point that every opponent ends up defeated with a single punch.

The lack of challenge has driven him into a state of apathy, as he watches his life pass by having lost all enthusiasm, at least until he's unwillingly thrust in the role of being a mentor to the young and revenge-driven Genos.

This is the product of a new partnership between Studio Pierrot and Korean production house Red Dog Culture House. From the article:

Studio Pierrot, known for producing many popular anime series including Naruto, Bleach, Tokyo Ghoul, and Yu Yu Hakusho, announced a partnership that was signed in August 2024 with South Korea’s Red Dog Culture House to co-produce and invest in anime content aimed at the global market.

The partnership will see both studios collaborating on upcoming projects over the next three years through a production committee based in Japan.

As the partnership’s first project, the studios will produce an anime adaptation of Lim Kyung-bae and Kwon Soon-kyu’s Latna Saga: The Survival Sword King webtoon. Full-scale production is set to begin later this year.

Synopsis of Latna Saga from AniList:

After being recently discharged from military service and just drifting through life, Hanbin Ryu is suddenly transported to another world. However, his “guide line,” the system bestowed upon him to help with his survival and growth, was filled with errors, causing him to be stuck in the tutorial stage for over 20 years. When he is finally released from this personal hell, he finds everyone has turned against otherworlders like him. Just how will this low-level, super-tutorial newbie survive?

Geoff takes some time to explore ~~all~~ some of the reasons the Uzumaki adaptation went so wrong. I didn't watch the show, but being an outside observer of the community's reaction has been fascinating. The roller coaster of emotions from episode 1 to episodes 2+ is something that I will remember for some time.

I was never in any doubt that there would be a season 2. I guess if you aren't going to announce right away, the next best time would be the 1-year anniversary. Excellent news that it is going to stick with Madhouse. I hope that they are able to bring in a lot of the talent that made the first season what it is.

My personal favorites of hers are the Lycoris Recoil ED and the My Hero Academia ED. My favorite of her non-anime work is Anonymous.

Yeah, it isn't super clear just from headlines, but it is unlikely she will actually serve time in prison. She was given a suspended sentence. So, as long as she doesn't commit any similar offenses in the next three years, she will have been considered as having served her time without actually going to prison.

Different article source.

Yeah, I was surprised by this too. The character almost always has a box of fries in her hand in the manga, so it makes sense that she is associated with fries. However, like you said, if this is a trade association meant to promote fries, then it is questionable whether this is actually helping.

Reading through the article, it seems like this case can be chalked up to (likely) criminal mismanagement. I mean...giving huge unsecured loans to company executives while at the same time not paying the royalties you owe to other production committee members. It just sounds like embezzlement with extra steps.

You've got some good suggestions already. Here are a couple that I think are good for somebody that is fairly new to the deep rabbit hole of anime tropes/conventions:

  • Mushishi - My personal favorite anime of all time. Very contemplative and melancholy. Don't binge this, just watch an episode before bed or something like that, and let it sit in your brain.
  • Frieren: Beyond Journey's End - This just recently finished airing its first season and was excellent in every respect. Classic high fantasy story (think Lord of the Rings) which follows the near-immortal elf Frieren in her travels. Very approachable for previously non-anime watchers.
  • Cowboy Bebop - An all-time classic space western following some bounty hunters.
  • One Punch Man - A humorous take on the superhero genre. If you are looking for something more comedy oriented, this is a decent starting point.

Not that I remember. This is from "Farming Life in Another World" which is an exceedingly ordinary show. I have watched the show and read the manga, but I don't remember this as a plot point (and I am pretty sure this would have stuck in my brain). If I remember correctly, this scene is the group of elves introducing themselves to the MC as they are moving into his village.

Pretty funny joke subs though. Something as crazy as this might have made the show more interesting tbh.

How have I never seen this before? I have been reading manga and daily driving linux for years. Instant must-read! Thanks!

[-] wjs018@ani.social 18 points 1 year ago

If you haven't read this series before, it's fantastic. The author crams in so many visual gags it is really impressive. Also, they are able to keep surprising with the humor. One of the risks with these silly premise manga is that they get old. However, this one has only gotten better as its gone on.

I only wish it published more frequently.
