but I spent most of it trying to remember who everybody was or why I care

Yeah, I was afraid of this happening to me too, so I rewatched season 2 before, which really helped.

So far, I've started:

• Dandadan: pretty fun so far.
• 365 Days To The Wedding: fun premise and characters. Always appreciate shows with adults as MCs. I can only hope the premise of forcibly sending an employee to an overseas branch can't happen in real life though, but I wouldn't be surprised if it can.
• Villainess Goes Down in History: not great so far. Prefer the manga.
• Re:Zero: interesting start. Curious to see where it goes.
• SAO Alternative GGO II: meh start. No reason to care yet.
• Demon Lord 2099: cool setup, but there are a lot of ways this can go wrong, so still a bit on edge.

I've also caught up with the new Monogatari season. I love it, especially the latest arc.

Also still continuing 2.5D Seduction which is still fun.

I want to watch Magilumiere, but it's on Prime and I'm not too thrilled about giving Amazon money.

Some shorter anime are fine for some 4-koma adaptations (loved I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying for example), but generally, please no. Especially for story focused anime.

It doesn't even make much sense either. 24 minutes is already short compared to most beloved shows coming out of Netflix, HBO or Prime.

from the proliferation of magic abilities and from the genocide of immortals

These points make it extra weird. It's not as if he wasn't going to do it without those points.

It's also his insistence of being a superior being compared to mortals that bothers me.

Cool world and interesting setting. I'm not really feeling the MC so far though. He wants to try and conquer the world again, but like, why? Sounded like they were the bad guys, so why should we care? Sure, it'a a cyberpunky world so there's probably rampant corporatism and whatnot, but not sure totalitarianism is much better. Or are they going to pull a 'the demon lord was a good guy all along'?

But only 1 ep is out so far, so maybe I'm spouting nonsense and I should not speculate this much yet. It's just that I can see this going in a, imo, boring/generic direction pretty quickly, despite the cool setting.

You may as well sue everyone then, especially on the internet and even more so on Twitter. To sue randos on the internet as a famous person because someone said something bad about you is just wild and petty, unless it did considerable harm to your reputation.

Just for a tweet from 2 years ago? Seems a little extreme. Was this person that influential that people actually started thinking this?

If you're on a free plan, doesn't it make sense for them to push their paid plans to you? They don't sell your data so they need to make money somehow.

Yea that's my issue so far too. Last season had stakes. This one doesn't (yet, hopefully).

The rationale for letting show-specific communities host their own discussion threads is to help introduce those communities to a wider audience in the fediverse. The lemmy and lemmy-compatible userbase is small enough that splitting across threads/communities seemed counter-productive.

I see where you're coming from, but I think this rationale makes more sense for centralized platforms like Reddit, where federation isn't an issue. I wonder how effective it is, seeing as it's very easy to conclude that the community is inactive or dead if you're from another instance and only see (bot)posts without any comments or upvotes. That's what I thought for a while anyway with many of these anime specific communities, like with Delicious in Dungeon. It felt like there was no place to discuss as a result. (Off topic, but these federation complications are also one of the reasons why I don't think decentralized platforms are the be-all-end-all like many seem to think. It's very user-unfriendly) Then again, I suppose it'd be harder to find those communities at all due to the federation stuff without the promotion of the anime community.

All that said, people did basically use this thread last week as an impromptu discussion thread. I am not going to remove comments from these threads (within the rules anyway).

Good to hear. Thanks for the response.

Is it mandatory to do these discussions in the specific communities? The annoying thing about these anime specific communities, is that they always show up completely empty for me. I'm guessing because no one from my instance has subscribed to it, but it's still not a great experience and I don't really want to subscribe to those communities just for when it's airing (if that even fixes it) and then unsubscribe later to prevent clogging up my feed and subscriptions.
