[Episode] Dusk Beyond the End of the World • Towa no Yuugure - Episode 1 discussion

That sure was something. With this being considered a prologue (episode 0, I guess), I assume it's just setting up the characters and world before it really gets going. I wasn't completely sold yet, but I will say that the ending of the episode was enough to have me give it another episode or two before deciding if I'll watch it or not. It does remind me a bit of ATRI from last year, but hopefully much better. The main protagonist is at least a bit more likeable right off the bat.

[Episode] Dusk Beyond the End of the World • Towa no Yuugure - Episode 7 discussion

This might have been the best episode so far. The OWEL lady not trying to kidnap Amoru was a nice surprise. I feel like all the characters acted in a way that makes sense not only with their character, but also their current emotional states. If we can have more episodes like this, they might be able to make a true emotional arch for these characters, which would be very impressive.

Comick is becoming a tracking site

Interesting. I wonder what it will have that makes it better than Anilist or MAL. If it did a better job of letting me know how many chapters are available, it might be worth using. Hopefully it can sync with the other big tracking sites to make things easier.

[Episode] A Mangaka's Weirdly Wonderful Workplace • Egao no Taenai Shokuba desu. - Episode 1 discussion

I thought this one was fun. I'm worried that the main character will become annoying if they just stick with the one joke, but at least for now I'm in. Mostly I just find the life of a mangaka to be fascinating. The whole industry is interesting, and maybe this can show a bit more of it, though I'll bet it'll be more office comedy than anything else.

For those who are interested in that industry, I really liked the look into the industry I got in the manga Itookashi from the writer of Call of the Night/Dagashi Kashi.

[Episode] SANDA - Episode 2 discussion

Ok, that one kid is crazy. What was up with him requesting that the kiss? But now that we're seeing what kind of world this is, I'm not surprised that the kids are all a bit crazy. The information we're getting into the current state of the world are actually fascinating and make sense with the themes that this anime seems to be trying to explore.

Also, I was already excited to see the magical Santa, but now you tell me that there is an anti-Santa squad called the St. Nick Pursuit Unit? I'm all in.

I've been mostly watching seasonals lately. I really need to go back and watch some more classics. That'll bulk up the top of the list, I'm sure.

[Episode] Dusk Beyond the End of the World • Towa no Yuugure - Episode 3 discussion

Still can't quite decide how I feel about this one. I feel like the tone is all over the place. We have a fascist regime that use slavery, information control, and civilian murder but all their leaders are just wacky comic relief? I guess it is trying to keep the tone a bit lighter, but I feel like it undermines the serious shit that is happening. At least the other androids seem like interesting and credible threats. I hope we see more of that side of OWEL instead going forward.
