A good person!?! She's trying to get Saito to watch a 24-hour cat video! She's Evil Incarnate!

Of the new teen romcoms this season, this is the one I'm currently most likely to continue to follow. (Okitsura just doesn't interest me and I'm wavering on Medaka Kuriowa.) After episode 3, I am also a little concerned that they're settling in a little too quickly and easily. However, they both are fundamentally decent people who respect each other more than they care to admit, so getting more comfortable with each other is bound to happen if given any chance at all. Hardly a priority view (especially on a day that has both Apothecary Diaries and Guild Receptionist), but it should serve as one of the filler titles I watch when I have extra downtime or want something light to put on during breakfast.
(And yes, even as a cat lover whose 2025 calendar features kittens, that 24-hour video is ridiculous.) |

Episode 3 lost a little bit of steam for me - It wasn't annoying, and I like the characters fine, but for me it wasn't as compelling. I think it was partly because, as Key said, the two settled into a kind of domestic ease a lot quicker than I was expecting, and partly because (as Blood mentioned) the episode felt more like a series of shorts that were only loosely related to each other and didn't have a lot of impact. And partly because him running to a hospital in his pajamas, carrying her in her pajamas, was ridiculous. Even if I buy that him honoring her wish not to tie up an ambulance was the right thing to do, he could have called his grandparents or his father or her mother (I'm not clear if their parents have spouses). That kind of hokey drama for the sake of drama annoys me
I mean, we're talking about the lethal Japanese night air which is guaranteed to put characters on their death bed with devastating anime colds here. Carrying a thinly clad fever victim with an uncertain diagnosis through that? But I'm still liking the show. |

Still better than Episode 11 of Super Cub.

@Piglet - I'm afraid that you and your anime mastery have confounded me. But if it's a question of looking up something because it's more contrived than the midnight shoulder ride, I'll take your word for it

I'm actually familiar with the reference to Super Cub that Piglet the Grate made. I liked that show but yeah that was pretty bad what they did. Got quite the negative reaction from what I can remember. And just to be super annoying, I'm not gonna provide any details, heh-heh-heh...

Teenage girl on a Super Cub heads out on a rescue mission that should have been left up to properly trained and equipped first responders, then adds wind chill to already being soaking wet in the winter. Last edited by Piglet the Grate on Sun Jan 19, 2025 4:32 pm; edited 1 time in total |

@Piglet. Geez, that does sound cringy. I have a harder time than some getting into anime about Jr.High Schoolers being used for elite combat units or tank exercises or running detective agencies or becoming arctic explorers and such in general, and that even pushes those boundaries. And hearing about it has the bonus effect of annoying Blood who was hoping to be annoying
@World in general. Of course, (ahem) I meant midnight princess carry instead of midnight shoulder ride. It's just that princess carrying someone for miles at a run is even more ridiculous, and my fingers typed the common sense version without thinking about it....which I realized when I re-read it.... |

Um, the only place I could come close to being considered an "Anime Master" is CGDCT-SOL of the last half-decade. 
What Koguma did in rescuing Shii in Super Cub Episode 11 violates everything I have been taught in extensive construction and industrial safety training, accident scene training, first aid training, and motorcycle training. Koguma deserved a stern lecture and being made to attend first aid classes, not free sandwiches. So arctic exploring is out, what about Antarctic exploring (of course I am referring to A Place Further than the Universe / Sora yori mo Tōi Basho)? Although I believe the most dangerous thing those (high school) girls did was to eat durium fruit ice cream?
To get back on topic, after watching Episode 3, Akane is definitely prime waifu material, and it is a good thing Saito is finally starting to notice. And to give credit where credit is due, Saito is much less a Potato-kun than is usual for rom-com MMC's. |

Well, as of episode 4 there is no drama to be found yet. I have grown to like the mc couple and they are growing closer every week. Shisei is providing in the humor department by being a living meme who pops up randomly to do crazy things. Himari meanwhile is getting a tad more bold. The peaceful times will probably stop sooner or later but for now the show sits at calm yet wacky fun.

Dropped. It's actually not a bad show and I get a decent number of chuckles per show but it's just not grabbing me. I may continue to check in on this thread to see if things ever start to get juicy but I'm not expecting to go back to it.

Blood, I sort of understand where you're coming from - and yes, I am wondering if I should start researching exorcism rituals
Now that the Apothecary Diaries dub has come out (Somehow or other, Apothecary Diaries and Frieren became two of those rare titles where I like the dubs better than the original versions - in both cases because of the lead voice actress - enough so that it was worth accepting a 2 or 3 episode lag to wait for them, which has also kept me going on their threads and risking spoilers) and blah blah blah.. Let me start over. There are now 6 anime on Friday that I like, too many to watch on their date of arrival, and this was the last one I watched this morning while waiting for Solo Leveling. That means its the last one I wanted to watch, which is sometimes something i don't know myself until it happens. It's partly because the whole side story with the blonde gyaru kind of annoys me. If she were brazen and fearless, I would just assume she was someone used to taking what the world dishes out, but she acts shy and sweet. I like the character, but knowing that the two leads are already married, watching her upcoming heart break develop in slow motion is about as fun as watching a puppy getting kicked. And it's partly because the tension between the leads has no real teeth. Again, I like the two characters fine, but watching two people making the most transparent pretense of hating each other while being nice but not romantic isn't that riveting. The little sister is funny but also a little bit disturbing...it reminds me of that Friend's episode where Rachel was dating some guy who was way too intimate with his sister, the relationship ending when she found out the two adult siblings still bathed together. That said, Shise acts more like an affectionate cat than incestuous minded. So the show isn't unlikable, but there are some things that make it less compelling. I still like it more than that kunoichi show that comes on before Solo Leveling comes on though. |

The fact that I was able to drop this show despite that half-second image of Succubus Akane really shows how cold-blooded I can be when I put my mind to it.
