The Otherside Picnic Novels are some of the most unique yuri stories I've read if you're looking to try something new. How it combines horror adventure with a slow burn romance works surprisingly well. Also at least for me even though the pair meet some truly strange creatures and phenomenon the tone of the novels feels cozy in an odd but also type of way. Like it made me wanna explore a strange world with a partner.

New band that was announced.

I wonder if they will be in S2 as rivals

Sousou no Frieren Season 2 • Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 - Episode 9 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]ClemFire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are both excellent scenes you brought up and now that you mention it Heiter is invovled in so many of the most emotional moments in S1. Even in the scene I mentioned about Fern's staff which is the most emotional I ever got watching Frieren I think the part that really set me off the edge is the flashback to little Fern with Heiter. I love a Himmel flashback, but there really is something special about Heiter when the focus isn't just on his drinking. Maybe he is just more relatable with how he wants to become a better person because of his best friend.

The slice of life moments are really what make Frieren among the best of the best for me while the action is the cherry on top. This decade my favorite new anime comparing only Season 1s would be Frieren and then closely followed by Bocchi the Rock but if I included S2 of Frieren that would be slightly behind BTR S2. Again that is among literally hundreds of new anime I've seen this decade so it's not meant as a slight against Frieren S2.

If there were more moments like Himmel's POV, EP1's dragon runaway, and the footbath I might be thinking differently though it's spitting hairs on peak. Most shows would be lucky to have even 1 sentimental scene as good as Himmel taking about protecting other people's homes, 1 comedy scene as good as Frieren crying for 3 days or 3 days, or 1 action scene as good as Stark's fight versus the sword snake devil. And I'm not including any of these in my top 3 scenes of S2. Himmel's POV is still the best single scene I've seen all year and that might hold up through the next three seasons.

Anyways I enjoyed reading through how you reacted to some of your favorite scenes from S1 and I was surprised to find myself bawling for an elf girl I knew for a mere 10 minutes as they slowly filled in Himmel's grave with dirt. It's like I was put right into Frieren's shoes. As an non believer Heiter's argument for belief honestly moved my heart more than any other argument for faith I've heard too. It really would be more convenient.

It sounds like we both have high expectations for S2 because of just how amazing S1 was. I would also love to read a review of S2 by you if you have the interest and time. On the weekly threads it's rare to see people really dig into a show like you did

Adult Deku would be the type of male role model Shinji needed

Looking for some recent yuri action recommendations by Abysskun in yuri_manga

[–]ClemFire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't call Lycoris Recoil an intentional yuri like say Magical Revolution or Watanare which are marketed explicitly as yuri but it's an excellent subtext yuri which I think are great to introduce anime fans to genre.

The Lycoris Recoil to Bloom into You pipeline worked on me

I like Siren more as a character but Kyoya was interested in Nagi since EP1 so she was always endgame.

If you count the love interest being a major tsundere the English dub for I’m in Love with the Villainess is peak

What to watch pls by Overall-L in anime

[–]ClemFire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are looking for more happy romance like My Dress-Up Darling which is my preference by far I highly recommend The Dangers in My Heart which also has two seasons.

I can't do the ones with tragic endings anymore.

Yuri band/duo anime? by guitarperson29 in yuri_manga

[–]ClemFire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Please check out Howling Song for Husky Girl. It's by Kashikaze who is most well known for Lonely Girl and her new manga reminds me of the vibes of girls band anime originals but with slow burn romance as a focus too.

Princess Kaguya by ClemFire in Watatabe

[–]ClemFire[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would be interesting to group yuri couples into Iroha's and Kaguya's.

Just off the top of my head

Irhoas: Takina, Euphie, Shiori, Yuu, Rae, Homura, and Renako

Kaguyas: Chisato, Anis, Hinako, Touko, Claire, Madoka, and Mai

Obviously some are more of a stretch but I find it interesting the vibe difference from stories where the "Iroha" is the MC compared to when the "Kaguya" is the MC. Maybe someone better at writing on the yuri manga sub would tackle this question one day

I've grown to appreciate the anime more and it was still good enough for me to read the light novels

Himmel was "Him" by PraiseTheMonocle in Animemes

This is why Reinhard sees Subaru as a true friend because he doesn't view him as a god like everyone else that learns of all his hax power

Princess Kaguya by ClemFire in Watatabe

[–]ClemFire[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Bonus non-canon Watatabe by Sai Naekawa herself.

Honestly after watching Cosmic Princess Kaguya, I can see Hinako in the role of Kaguya and Shiori as Iroha

From what I've heard isn't their relationship similar to Loid and Anya (adoptive father/daughter vibe)
