I ran out of stuff for this season to watch, so I decided to pick up Love Live. I know K-on is considered better, but I tried it and I found it boring with a main character I hated.

Love Live is kinda neat so far though, especially since all the backgrounds and locations are in my neighbourhood, so I'm constantly spotting scenery that I'm familiar with.

This may.. be the point of no return for me.

The only difference is way too many different colors of hair. The kids where you live all look pretty close to the same. With some damn silly clothing.

Yeah, that's been totally random so far. There is absolutely no reason for the viewer to care about those fuckers.

Woohoo, Dragon Maid is back! That was a cute show.

Also, Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan is a new show. They're promoting it as a Fate/Stay night spinoff about ...cooking? What the fuck?

It is probably a bit too early to say, but Violet Evergarden is shaping up to be the best show this season.

I liked the lizards story, very high quality fighting for level 5 characters with limited abilities.
It was well done, the realism of the story and starvation. No happily ever after, neither.

WTF is the deal with Overlord? This shit sucks!
Because they adapt the LN source, and the lizard arc is arguably the most boring part of Overlord. Even the anime can't fix it, as the over-the-top characters you grew attached to in season 1 don't show up. Every LN reader skimmed through it or outright skipped it to the end.
It's funny because everyone was super hyped for season 2, and the LN readers thought "well, next is the lizards. I can start watching at episode 4 or 5."

Darling in the FranXX is lol. That pilot configuration is absurd. We have reached the pinnacle of mecha technology.
Maybe for you, but not for Hiro ...

Light Novel. It's a Japanese thing. Most of these animes start off as a light novel. Which is just a shorter 200 page novel. Typically 2-3 come out from every series per year.
So if a light novel sells a lot of copies, they'll sometimes offer it as a manga option or an anime option. The entire purpose of either the manga or anime is ONLY to sell more copies of the light novel. Nothing more.

So if they make an anime, they expect the light novel sales to increase by x, but if they don't, then they usually won't make an additional series of the show.

The manga itself even made fun of this when s2 was announced.
cocytus steps into the spotlight, lol

02 just has that crazy pussy that no one else can handle.

And Hiro doesn't mind passing her around just to prove to himself (in the cuck-most way possible) that he's a boss.

Mitsuru was all talk, but he just couldn't hang. Hiro's limp for all the other girls, but he's the best that crazy pussy needs.

I just hope that the adults will soon come to term with Hiro being 002 partner and allow him to start piloting.
Because I sure hope we don't get more episodes of him being a useless bitch.
