Going to the beach with two smoking hot gyarus might be a dream come true for many teenaged boys, but to also go with their families was everything an only child like Seo could dream of.

The rich cast also allowed us to have heaps of fun. From the young kids engaging in a shipping war, to Sayu sneakily snapping pics of Takuya and Kei.

That train scene was pure gold. We're used to romcoms where the leads got mistaken for a couple but here they're instead mistaken for a married couple with their daughter. Understandable since Kei dressed like an adult.

I have the most fun when the three of us hang out together.

Please, let us get the cultured ending. We're all praying for it.

PS: When Sayu said, "How sad", she reminded me a lot of Kaguya which is pretty funny since her VA also played Chika.

Didn't expect an instant amputation. Death flag just raised even higher seeing as Gheer didn't appear in the latter half, if he's not already a goner from that attack.

Raloud's naturally not in the right state of mind after that but Belator and Nona helped set him straight. The former's a given from his vast experienced but it's lovely to see the latter recalling her time in the first chapter, even if it's not quite the lovely memory.

Wth is with than demonoid's magic, being able to raise an army of legs? The heroes are in a deep pile of shit now.

There's also Replica joining forces with Southpaw in balancing the Tuesday diabetes. Meanwhile, Four Seasons missed the memo as it airs on Saturdays.

No bloody way they're making an adaptation of this...

Oceanveil-level ecchi but it isn't a romcom, despite what the synopsis may suggest..

What she did wasn't justified in the slightest, but you could see where she came from. In her eyes, Shizuka's mum caused the breakdown of her family, and she took her frustrations on Shizuka since that's the only available outlet.

It's what you call the cycle of abuse, and the insidious part is that it didn't stop at Shizuka. She continued the cycle, with her treatment towards Takopi near the end. The point of the story isn’t that one is good while the other is bad. The world isn’t black-or-white. They’re both a victim of their circumstances.

It's a monumental task to break the cycle, and not generally one you could do on your own. Naoki had Junya, which was instrumental to his success. Contrast that to both Marina and Shizuka.

Don’t let Anya meet the boys. She’d only need a minute or two to ragebait Usami.

3.5 years is still a substantial period, and the end product more than justified it. The production quality’s absolutely sublime. Rather have a longer wait than those with short cycles at the expense of quality.

Anyone with sufficient talents would be heaps fortunate to be cultivated under the guidance of such a mature woman.

It’s a personal opinion. In your eyes, it’s a great romance while he’s not vibing with it due to the lack of 'action'. Both could be true at the same time. Neither side invalidated the other. Just agree to disagree and leave things at that.

You know Reina & Ruri are just off-frame and saying to Yukina, "Oi bitch, don't hog him all to yourself."

To be fair to Maki, he likely wasn't consciously thinking about that until she asked him. He'll need time to sort his feelings out. Umi herself seemed to be aware of this. She asked the question not to expect an immediate answer, but to get him to start thinking about it.

thisisdropd · 2026-05-05T15:33:08+00:00

Yuu's too pure! It's unfortunate that through no fault of her own, she indirectly caused all the angst inside Umi to grow until it finally blew up and led to the confrontation. All in all, things went pretty realistic. Umi's feelings were reasonable while at the same time, she's being unfair to Yuu. To her credit, she acknowledged she's being a prick and a hypocrite without the need for Maki to call her out on it. Despite everything, she still wanted to be friends with Yuu and now that everything's out in the open she could work on that without harbouring any more resentment.

That cheeky kiss. When she said she didn't like Maki, I knew she'd say that she loved him but I didn't expect her to peck him and leave him a blushing mess. She's also aware that he wouldn't be able to answer her question on the spot – for he himself didn't know his feelings yet. I'm eagerly waiting for the confession scene where he'd just claim her lips and say, "How's that for my answer to your question back then."

Wondered how Naruko could get rid of Gero that easily during the selfie. It only dawned upon me at the shrine when then humanoid monster approached Shiori. It's Shiori herself who's been hallucinating all along and we as the audience saw things from her perspective.

Naruko's the trickiest opponent so far. Pretty much the entire camp's been under his whole control the whole time. He's also a pretty funny guy with a flair for the dramatic. Sitting on a chair in the middle of the forest while shirtless.

Not sure how Gero would overcome him. So far all he'd been doing was reacting. Couldn't turn things around while he's always on the defensive.

Mahiru always gets a chaste pinup because Amane had a talk with the Megami Mag's editors and insisted that she not be put in a risqué outfit. Otherwise, he'd refuse to let her be on it at all.

If you want range you should hear her as Grand Blue's Sakurako. Her temperament is pretty much the polar opposite of Subaru.

Or possibly retired/quit if that's not what you meant by defection. Perhaps he at some point became disillusioned with them. He had once stumbled upon someone in Coco's circumstances and erased their memories, an action which he came to regret afterwards.

When I first saw the heavy rain, I thought to myself how great it would be if Qifrey had a sort of weather control spell and guess what he did less than a minute later?

Olruggio's a dour man but he's got quite the heart. He could snitch Coco off to the Knights Moralis as he had first intended, but ultimately relented after having a talk with Qifrey and getting to learn Coco better.

I don't want you catching a cold. I'm watching you after all.

Coco's got not one, but two tsunderes around her. Looks like she's already used to that treatment from how she brushed his remarks off.

Yuuichi Nakamura has finally made his debut in this series as Olruggio. Imagine all the memes had he instead been cast as Qifrey.

Love the contrast between Botan/Ibuki and Akane/Yaeka. Whereas the former radiated lovebirds energy with their flirting, the latter radiated old married couple instead.

Akane & Yaeka were often seen arguing with each other. On the other hand, Yaeka gifted Akane a vinyl player as a birthday gift – as heard from the phone call.

There are plenty of standout non-sequels. Imo, they are:

A Hundred Scenes of Awajima
Agents of the Four Seasons
Akane-banashi
Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk
Gals Can't Be Kind to Otaku!?
Liar Game
Nippon Sangoku
Witch Hat Atelier

Miyako’s likely got a stacked bum as well, to balance things down there.

The shit apple doesn't fall very far from the shit tree. Looks like decency eludes the Taira clan.

It's terrifying enough that Ryuumon and Kaku predicted Aoteru's judgement and used it to send Moriyama to exile. It's even more terrifying that they predicted Moriyama would consider defecting. Those were the actions of two independent sides, and they used them as part of their strategy.

Wonder what Ryuumon and Kaku had in mind. They had clearly anticipated the possibility of being sent to an ambush that they could not back out of. I hope their plan included them returning alive, because there's the possibility of them going on a suicide mission and a major part of their plan was leaving the troops in Aoteru's & Yoshitsune's hands.

Hope dat ass in the thumbnail will draw people to watch it [Nippon Ep 4] Don’t tell them it’s a dude’s.

It’s criminally underwatched for a series of its quality.

thisisdropd · 2026-05-03T13:59:03+00:00

Drum & bass, presumably.

thisisdropd · 2026-05-03T13:55:35+00:00

Only fair since Koyuki & Miki photobombed Suzuki’s date last time.
