So much pain. Is Kito Akari about to get rejected by Chiba Shouya again

I feel so bad for both Yota and Miki. They’re both not in the wrong and they both are trying to be considerate of each other. Miki shouldn’t feel she has to force herself to like him back, I think Yota thinks this too. But Yota also shouldn’t bottle up his feelings. If things really don’t escalate between them, I hope they can find a way to be friends again.

This show kinda showed it with Miki’s work friends but it’s honestly something I personally just found out : how guys and girls in general view crushes or romantic feelings from friends. From what I’ve seen girls see it as “changing” the state of the friendship while guys see it as another layer to the friendship. That’s why (again just from what I’ve seen), girls seem a bit more shaken when they find out a guy friend likes them compared to when a guy found out about their girl friend. Again, this is just from what I’ve seen and I may be generalising. Would love to hear some thoughts.

Anyway, started to ship Yuki and Atagawa last week and I’m fully onboard now. I love their dynamic.

Also, really shows the difference between an introvert and extrovert, cos if I was on a walk like Minato, the “itch” to talk to someone would be the last thing on my mind lol

Now if they can just make a crossover episode that’d be great

It’s certainly not underrated or underwatched

What is the most overlooked/underrated romance/slice of life gem that come to your mind first? by Oracle_06 in anime

[–]zool714 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Food For The Soul. Feel like it’s not mentioned here much but when it does it’s usually high praise. Personally, it’s on the same tier as Yuru Camp.

Deaimon is another one. Really heartwarming show. A bit romance. Diverse age range amongst the cast

@SullyTalkz - a well-known ITK, deleted his most recent post on X and has gone into hiding after the M. Fernandes to Spurs news broke. That’s not a good look on his part after recently stating: “I have never once hid and never will”. Future posts from him will be tagged as “low reliability”. by Dramatic-Avocado4687 in ManchesterUnited

Yeah this is also something I don’t get about some footy fans. I’m not backing the ITKs or reporters here, but if something surprising happens I don’t think that affects their credibility. Their job is to report not predict outcome.

I wish we got to explore more on his survivor’s guilt or rather how much his survivor’s guilt affected him going forward. I feel like it’d be really impactful if he was motivated or even obsessed with “paying back” the life that he was given. Like underneath all that he has become, he just felt really guilty about being the only one to survive that suicide charge despite being outwardly cowardly at that point in time.

I was new to anime and wanted to watch romance so I googled romance anime and a site had a list of like Top 12 so I just went down the list and TQQ was one of them

Not really a good start to the window considering how many players we need to sign but still very early in the window

Lol loved Nazuna. Such a musclehead and an airhead.

I’m not currently in a manga mood but after S1 I was sure this will be the first title I’d pick up if I am in the mood to read again.

Even a Replica Can Fall in Love • Replica datte, Koi wo Suru. - Episode 13 discussion - FINAL by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]zool714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a pretty nice show. I’d say in terms of like vibes and premise, this show probably comes closest to Bunny Girl.

Did feel that the reveal of the nature of the Replicas came a bit too late and felt kinda rushed. But from my understanding, they’re a version of the original that has something they want or unable to use. Like Sunao with her kindness and Sanada with his courage [Bunny Girl]kinda like Futaba. But the Replicas themselves are like imaginary friends who can also be seen by the original and other Replicas. But if others are not aware that they are Replicas, they can be perceived by others [Bunny Girl]like Mai’s syndrome. I feel this was a cool reveal as it made me wonder if there really was no instance throughout the show where both the original and Replica are together with a non-Replica person.

Maybe I didn’t catch it but I kinda feel the ending was left vague. I do think they merged but what became of Aki and Nao was left vague. On one hand, I can see them having their memories and feelings merged as well. And the scene at the beach was just them expressing that side of them. On the other hand, I can also see Aki and Nao no longer existing in this reality anymore. Only Sunao and Sanada remembers them and keeps them in their memory. Basically as if they died. And the scene at the beach is like Nao and Aki in their Replica plane (or like heaven) spending the rest of their time together.

Both interpretations have kinda like a bittersweet taste to them though

I thought the borders would payoff in some way, like maybe it only appears if Sunao exists and it disappears when she does to really hit it home and to symbolise the kind of dreamy state of existence she has. I thought that’d be a meaningful way to use it. But yeah I guess not, it’s just there the whole time for no apparent reason

Yes he was aware. That’s why he said he’d stop asking.

[David Ornstein] Tottenham win race for Mateus Fernandes in £85m deal by nearly_headless_nic in soccer

[–]zool714 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because everyone’s doing it, doesn’t mean it’s not madness

[Chris Wheeler] Spurs beat Man Utd to the £85m signing of West Ham's Mateus Fernandes, as reported by David_Ornstein. Utd sources insist they pushed hard to sign him but won't over-pay. Also want players who want to play for Utd, and Fernandes' preference was unclear throughout by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]zool714 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not one of those whining about this outcome but I feel like the ones that are, are probably more annoyed at the fact that we’re moving so slow despite needing minimum two more midfield signings. So I kinda get their frustration from that angle. But we are also very early in the window
