@NutnutYe It's my favorite show the year (Journal With Witch and Nippon Sangoku right there, too...). Just absolutely incredible. Did you watch the final episode yet? It's such a great finale.
@zukaketawagase (Sorry for writing in English!) I wish, but in US anime is mostly only popular with huge series. But I have been telling everyone I know about it and everyone who has watched it absolutely loves it. And this is my personal favorite show of the year. You all should be so proud.
@dannyd1976@lockjaw555 He's a dumbass who can't actually explain what he thinks about music because he doesn't really have cohesive thoughts, they are more like vague precursors to or impressions of thoughts. Probably thinks that song is Pavement-coded because the singer says "I'm trying." (Conduit)
@lockjaw555@Heythrsourgrpez It honestly just sounds more like you don't have a very discerning ear and can't really distinguish what separates bands that you think sound really similar.
@Huzzinator8@sangivstheworld@VK_HM Oh, okay. I don't really see the same thing, but maybe we just are in very different spaces. When I think of hardcore otaku now I think mostly of people who keep up with seasonal anime releases and also try to watch/have already watched a lot of the best older shows.
@sangivstheworld@VK_HM That's an interesting perspective, but I do feel like there are plenty of people and communities who keep up with the medium because they love it (an animation as an artform more generally) and also don't guzzle down hundreds of episodes of isekai slop every year.
@zebruder@Angglio OK, I definitely gotta check out Awajima. It's the one show I missed this year that I just did not have time for yet, but everything I am hearing sounds incredible and those other 2 you mentioned are my clear favorites of the year.
