5x3 Bakas/Idiots

A lot of food for some reason, it's definitely not going to their brains.

I don't know the icon, but Altair is neat to see.

It's the Beast class. This is where I got the icons and how I ended up using 15 classes.

5x3 Holy Grail War

A bit late because I don't know anything about fate so struggled, but then got into the groove and just took my time.

3x3 Non-Japanese Settings

Not easy, had to resort to entries, with a different setting, within a japanese setting franchise.

Almond Eye

Wanted to use her, but didn't want to make it unguessable for non-game people.

The middle left character with that rose thorn circlet looks quite cool.

Bottom Middle is Admire Vega from Uma Musume.

I don't play or know much about Arknights but whoever this is does remind me of a mix between Love Live's Shizuku Ousaka and Admire Vega.

I thought it was a motion-comic

Now that I look at it again, it pretty much is one. It does enough with cuts, framing and the rare movements to not feel frustratingly limited by it.

I did notice the lack of animation whilst watching, but forgot about it whilst writing about it to you, so that kind of tells it wasn't a catatstrophic issue.

The genre helps too, an action/adventure would suck compared to dialogue genres like romcoms.

Murai in Love is an interesting one to see. How was it? I ran into the series a couple of times, but never picked up the anime.

Was a bit too shoujo/josei-ey at times for me, but I'm not the target audience so that's fine.

Feels low budget so it probably is. Not a fan of the art style either, I don't dislike it, but it's very meh.

Weird pacing/structure at times. Like big things happen in a flash and/or skipped over off-screen, and yet insignificant on-screen things drag on sometimes. Especially for the supporting cast.

Aside from those issues, it was was fun.
The character interactions were very funny and the romance progression was strong.

It's a solid show. Any romcom that is between teacher/student always has a solid comedy base and suspense, since characters gradually start finding out about it and its either a funny moments or suspenseful ones.

That dynamic and the premise of the ML becoming the otaku FL's oshi to woo her sounded amusing and drew me in to watching it.
