Hakumei to Mikochi is peak comfy this season, last episode was great. I hope the adaptation will make it to the turf wars arc

It is really comfortable to watch, the voice acting isn't cringeworthy like most moe animes nowadays, there's no fanservice at all (except for the bath scene on episode 5) and it's literally, as >>299 said, cute girls doing cute outdoors things.

>>301
Hakumei to Mikochi and Yuru Camp are the comfiest animes of this season.
I prefer Yuru Camp over HtM, it is really a great anime and I'd risk naming it AOTS.

I'd like to read manga, but I dislike those manga reader websites and would prefer to download the archive files to read them on my tablet. Are there any sites with on-going manga available for download? I've heard of madokami, but have no idea how to get an account.

Use a manga reading app. They are basically image viewers that use manga reading sites as sources. Most of them also let you download chapters. The best on for Android is Tachiyomi.

My anime of the season (and probably the year) is Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card Hen. Yuru Camp is more or less tied with Sora yori mo Tooi Basho and Pop Team Epic for runner-up.
I haven't seen Hakumei to Mikochi; I remember looking it up and deciding I'd rather read the manga. I'll get to it one of these days.

HakuMiko is a faithful adaptation and covers most of the material. You should definitely read the manga at a nice pace

I just watched the first episode of Cutie Honey Universe. I enjoyed it and liked how it incorporates some ideas from the original manga while adding new elements. That being said, the fights could be better, I think, and I'm not sure why they didn't use the original theme song.

It's almost 2 decades late, but I've started watching Azumanga Daioh. These old-school animus have this wild charm of their own - not much in the way of CG, but still quite fun to watch through.

I actually really like the way older anime looks; new ones are often too perfect and clean looking.
I think it's been over ten years since I saw Azumanga Daioh. The manga is one of my favorites and I re-read it from time to time.

It's pretty good. Fairly standard CGDCT about teenage mangaka living together in a dorm provided by their publisher.

It's pretty ehh, but it's one of the few CGDCT this season so if you're into that it's worth a watch. Just feels like a budget Hidamari Sketch/New Game mixup. Nice VA and animation work though.

I'm really (pleasantly) surprised at how well-made Comic Girls is, for what is (as you say) a pretty standard slice of life show based on a fairly mediocre manga. They probably could have cheaped the heck out of it and no one would have complained.

Very good manga choice friend. By far my favorite from what I've read, which is admittedly not that much, but it's great. It's just so cute and nice. Almost makes me wish I had a daughter.

I really like comic girls this season. Kaos-chan is too cute!
Also recently watched mysterious girlfriend X which was much better than I was expecting it to be, although still kind of strange and surprising lewd at times. Worth watching though for sure.

I think Comic Girls is the best CGDCT I've seen in a while. The characters are super cute, and their problems are relatable as well as funny. And I continue to be amazed at how well animated it is.

Comic Girls is completely adorable. I love Kaos-chan. And I love Koyume and Tsubasa. I hope they keep developing that or episode 5 will feel a little bit random. Unless that was just supposed to be a "you can do it, Koyume!" kind of episode.

I'm not sure what kind of anime you enjoy, but my favorite current shows are:
•Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card Hen
•Comic Girls
•Golden Kamuy
•Wotakoi
•Seizei Ganbare! Mahou Shoujo Kurumi
Darling in the Franxx and the new Captain Tsubasa are pretty good, but your mileage may vary.

Ever since I saw this picture, I've been looking around for Komi-san wa Komyushou Desu. It looks like something I would enjoy, but I can't find it for procurement anywhere. No official translations on amazon, can't find any download through mega, torrents, or irc outside of the oneshot. Online reader sites have the rest of the volumes, but I prefer a local zip/rar file. Usually scanlators have websites or blogs where they post download links, but I haven't been able to find anything.

It is so frustrating since this seems so enjoyable.
345 Name: Anonymous : 2018-05-23 07:28

I figured that would bait someone in to reading it! It's a really heartwarming series, and very funny.

Yeah, it's a pain - Underdog used to be the scanlators but they went defunct, taking down their website. "Komi-scan wa Komyusho desu" are the current TLs but with the death of Batoto they only upload on MangaDex, no site of their own.

If you're looking for rars, this seems to have most of the older chapters: https://archive.org/details/manga_Komi-san_wa_Komyushou_Desu.

I finished GochiUsa yesterday and I was wondering if there are other animes with towns like that, since GochiUsa's town is based on a real town (Colmar, France); if so, could you guys name them?
See →/888/8.png
353 Name: Anonymous : 2018-06-20 13:00
>>352
The town in So Ra No Wo To is Cuenca, Spain.
Kiki's Delivery Service is mostly components of Stockholm & Visby, but there's not much directly based on them.

Most of the English scenes in Kiniro Mosaic are taken directly from various locations in the Cotswolds. The interiors are even from one house: https://www.otakunews.com/Article/2085/on-location-at-fosse-farm-alice-cartalets-house-from-kinmoza

Little Witch Academia is largely an amalgamation of southern England, but Avebury is a fair match for the "location ambience", and there's even a picture of St Michael's Line at one point, pinning Luna Nova Academy as just south of Bristol. →/889/5btq9cq9jq8y.jpg

I can't really think of many that have other timber-framed towns like Colmar that aren't fantasy though - it's a fairly common style for that. This site is great for real life location comparisons, it's a hobby for the owner of the blog http://mikehattsu.blogspot.com/

GochiUsa is a very cute show!

About halfway through X2, loving it.

I burnt through the 6 episode OVA for Iriya no Sora, UFO no Natsu today and boy, was that a roller coaster.
It felt rushed, like if I was skipping entire episodes between scenes. I heard somewhere that the LN it was based off started the LN boom in the mid 2000s, so maybe the source material is better and this was just a bad adaptation. What a shame, too. It started off so strong and absolutely fell apart around midway through.
359 Name: Anonymous : 2018-07-02 21:43
I hate to be that person, but a lot of anime is racist and sexist. Darling in the Franxx is right-wing propaganda, for example. I'm not making it up. Google it. I'm not doing your research for you though. You can do that on your own.

People of color are sorely lacking from anime. Women are depicted without agency, which is sexist. That's why neckbeards like anime.

Anime needs to change much in the same way the video game industry has changed. We need cultural changes and actual representation. But not tokenization.

I know your knee-jerk reaction might be to reject my claims, because you'd rather pretend that all is well, but you know I'm right.

That same author recently finished another very cute series called Madoromi-chan ga Iku. It isn't romance if that's something you're particularly looking for, but it's short and worth a read if you want something lighthearted and fun. Between Madoromi-chan and Ookami Shounen, I can't wait to see what this guy comes out with next.

On the topic of romance manga, I finished one called Kanojo wa Rokurokubi recently. It was really enjoyable, though it apparently got cancelled and has a very sudden ending. I need more cute romance manga like it in my life.

Everyone who isn't exactly like you is a troll. I hate this modern attitude.

You know how social media recommends videos, pages, accounts, etc that are related to your interests? And you know how google search results are custom-tailored to you, based on what google knows about you? I think this has led to people being in echo chambers for too long, so you think anyone who sees the world in a different way is a "troll" or something, which is dumb.

Understand that people are not all the same, and people can have very legitimate reasons for coming to different conclusions than you.

Dismissing people as "trolls" is ignorant and lazy. Instead, you can try to see things from someone else's perspective.

Anime objectifies women. It's not just about the oversexualization, since many feminists are sex-positive now, instead of being anti-sex. But it's sexist and objectifying in the sense that many female anime characters lack agency. I think many weeaboos like asian women and anime because of the stereotypically weak portrayals of women. You don't like women who stand up for themselves. You don't like strong women who don't want traditional gender roles. Weeaboos prefer the timid, weak, obedient, sidekick-style woman who is merely an accessory for a male protagonist. Additionally, anime's lack of diversity is striking, but it's also a reflection of the lack of proper multiculturalism in Japan too. This will have to change over time, since their birth rates are dropping off.

You can either try and understand other people, or you can just continue to be dismissive and call everyone who isn't a carbon copy of you a troll. Your choice. Are you going to continue to be close-minded, or will you listen to what other people have to say?

For those of you who keep up with seasonal anime, what have you picked up this season? What are you excited to watch?

Out of everything I've tried watching so far, I'm most excited for Planet With. It's an original work by Satoshi Mizukami, who did Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer, Sengoku Youko and Spirit Circle. Apparently he's been working on the show's concept for four years now, and there's over a thousand pages of manga storyboards for it. It's a bit odd to see Mizukami's stuff animated, but I'm very excited for more of it.

So far this season (based on one or two episodes), I'm enjoying Anima Yell (solid CGDCT), Akanesasu Shoujo, Golden Kamui 2 (loved the first despite the crappy animation), Uchi No Maid Ga Uzasugiru, and Yagate Kimi Ni Naru.
Himote House (Weird, crappy CG CGDCT from Ishidate) and Gaikotsu Shotenin Honda-san are both better than I was expecting. Ulysses kind of disappointed me.

Irozuku sounds pretty interesting; I wonder how I missed that when I made my list for Fall?

>>388
I initially passed over Starlight because I assumed it was an idol show. When I did watch it, I enjoyed it, but, I'm not sure what (if anything) it was supposed to mean. It did remind me of Utena, as you said, but it felt more like an homage than something that can stand by itself. It also reminded me a bit of Princess Tutu, probably because of the focus on singing and dancing.
On the whole, I think it's a fun show but fairly forgettable.

The surprise of the season for me has been Seishun Buta Yarou wa long LN title. It strongly reminds me of the Monogatari series in a really good way.

>>395
I'm not sure how to feel about Irozuku. It's a really pretty looking show but feels a little by the numbers. Even the premise reads like "normal high school boy meets mysterious transfer student girl" but backwards. The director also did Nagi no Asukara though and I really enjoyed that, so I'll stick with it for now.

I'm enjoying Yagate Kimi ni Naru, but I think AnoKiss would have been the better popular yuri manga to adapt into anime. Because it has a large cast (each with their own stories), you could animate as much, or as little, as you like and have a show that feels complete.
