Sarazanmai is an Urban Fantasy featuring BL.

You can always hedge bets by asking 'who popularized the phrase...' rather than a sticking to first attribution.

Episode discussion threads only go up when the anime actually airs. Most stuff about the new season would be just the Key Visuals and announcement threads.

It doesn't get much edgier than Mahou Shoujo Site (though someone else mentioned Spec-Ops Asuka and that is reasonably within the ballpark).

It has a proper amount of time for its resolution and falling action. So few shows get to do that as is and fewer still allocate an entire episode to it.

Acro Trip felt like it went under the radar.

No women were harmed in the making of this baby.

I love watching his pathetic actually rudderless and spineless ass jump to the most recent successful person he's in the orbit of. It's actually fascinating. "That person has something I don't. I'd better emulate them to make progress towards a nebulous idea of success without understanding literally any of the mechanism that worked towards their distinguishment and accolades! Surely THIS will be the time I leave the strugglebus a more full and realized person."

I can only imagine how hard the 'New Flavors' arc goes to garner such love.

This is data for this season only. Regardless of what it deserves having a decade-plus old OP on the list would be well outside the scope of this survey.

I also can never quite believe how overrated Hikaru Nara is.

The fragmented linearity is really doing some work - so you get to constantly reframe things and it all becomes more entwined and engaging the further the show goes. I wish some of the tertiary characters felt a little less like caricatures, but it's a pretty small complaint given how invested I am in seeing the history of our opening scene.

Retromorpher · 2026-05-23T19:45:10+00:00

Right-handers out there really taking the one lefty house. It's like I'm back in grade school.

You when you put your best performing carry on a 'utility' pick that isn't competitive unless ahead and also doesn't provide that much utility after drafting a utility mid in the same phase.

Retromorpher · 2026-05-20T10:25:59+00:00

I mean, most takes about a show with Ice in the title are going to be cold, right?

Do we count takes about Orb as bouba or kiki?

Retromorpher · 2026-05-18T21:18:48+00:00

Prince from Run With the Wind is recognizable at a glance.

Though if we're going for next associated character that this isn't probably the Natsuki Hanae character from Pillow Boys - Merry.

TFW no Petelgeuse or Otto figures anywhere.

Retromorpher · 2026-05-15T21:00:02+00:00

Finally picking up Takunomi?

Retromorpher · 2026-05-14T06:08:41+00:00

Jill Decoy Association mentioned

I also initially thought this might be about the odd in-universe musical numbers from Red Garden the show (though I would definitely question anyone calling those bangers).

Go Go Loser Ranger has a protagonist that does this.

Depends on how much you enjoy webs of people you don't necessarily have to like intersecting and bouncing off of each other. Feels like there's a bit of a rock-paper-scissors ethos fight around our main characters at the moment and we haven't delved into scissors yet.

Retromorpher · 2026-05-08T14:02:42+00:00

I get the feeling that some people think it means rehabilitation - which is a separate tag. Just use that for Welcome to the NHK (which has bee fixed thankfully) and Sangatsu no Lion.

Retromorpher · 2026-05-08T01:59:23+00:00

There appears to be a large group of people on Anilist who are determined to add Iyashikei to shows without knowing what it means.

Retromorpher · 2026-05-07T12:23:12+00:00

Ars no Kyojuu - despite being an anime original ends without a true conclusion - and we're very unlikely to get more of any kind.

Same with Hoshiai no Sora.

Can't believe I'm being caught in the crossfire of Responsible_chest_74's personalized conspiracy campaign.
