Queen Hilling from Ranking of Kings has got to be one of the most multifaceted stepmother characters I've seen in fiction so far. She just seemed like the typical "evil stepmom" at first and while she's not perfect, there are so many sides of her that I didn't think I'd see.

Remember, before allowing yourself to enjoy art, always make sure to get a full background check on the creator, their complete internet search history, and a notarized affidavit of their moral purity from their high school principal. It's the only way to know if it's okay.

Animating as a career isn't just making pictures move. It's being able to work in a team, to compromise your vision, to listen to your supervisors, and to work within the constraints of time, budget, and expectations. Something I don't think you can do if you have this attitude.

Too many people read Denji as an innocent bean who just wants love. That doesn't stop him from also being a sleaze who sees most women he meets as a desirable prospect before seeing them as fully realized people and empathizing with them afterwards.

It's nice to see when two vaguely similar shows have overlapping fandoms like this. People are always going to compare and put one show down in favor of the other, but we really are lucky to have two consistently gorgeous, 2-cour fantasy anime running concurrently like this.

Apothecary Diaries and Frieren airing together for 2 seasons is genuinely legendary. We usually get one show of this caliber per season but we got 2 for multiple cours 😮‍💨

Eupho has complex, compelling, & realistically flawed characters. No one's cartoonishly antagonistic/purely good. We understand their motivations & we're welcome to decide who we agree with or to come to our own conclusions altogether. Phenomenal characterization since the start.

In terms of overall aesthetics, I think Dororo might be my favorite looking show produced at MAPPA. Just a really solid team of creative & dedicated individuals bringing us lively boards, careful direction, and gorgeous, hand-painted BGs that fully immerse you in this world.

I think Sound Euphonium might have some of the best voice acting I've ever heard in anime. Kumiko especially, played by Kurosawa Tomoyo, has such a nuanced performance that even the simplest lines can bring me to tears. The way she says "hai" after Asuka says see you later...man.

1. Tatami Galaxy Easily the closest you'll get in terms of aesthetics and subject matter. TG is more lighthearted and fast-paced, but both are atypical coming-of-age stories with minimalist art direction and a vaguely episodic structure that builds into an overarching story.

Isn't the front page on Crunchyroll set up to promote popular shows and provide recommendations based on your interests? I don't know any gay marriage anime that are trending right now, so...

I love seeing others review anime they dislike because it's always like "flat characters, overrated, boring, no plot development, inconsistent animation, repetitive ost, bland aesthetic, bad pacing, rushed ending, mid. 7/10."

Ranking of Kings I came in expecting a well-executed action adventure about an underdog rising to the top, and found myself immersed in a brilliant subversion of fairytale tropes that was heartfelt and gripping until the very end. Review thread 🧵

@Kurisutina_04 This entire production feels like an astonishingly competent love letter to its target audience, even down to its advertising, by having a countdown timer on CR and streaming it here as well.

Despite her popularity, Nozomi doesn't feel like she belongs. Even when she crouches to their level, she is still out of sync. When she faces the camera, no one else is shown clearly. We see them when she faces away though, creating this dissonance that highlights her loneliness.

It really is amazing how well Hanekawa's character was set up in Bakemonogatari. Every brief appearance she has in each arc tells us so much about her character, but it's weaved in so naturally that you don't notice just how much there is there is until later on in the series.

If this person is serious, then it's a foolish way to go about things. I'd take the opinion of someone with no animation experience but a deep knowledge of its concepts and the industry over someone fueled by hubris, who started their craft just to dunk on others.

one of my biggest grievances in anime is when the narrative wants to convince you that a female character isn't conventionally attractive or looks more masculine than most girls and then you see her and she just looks like this

Yamada Naoko: I was fixated on the intensity of the atmosphere created by Mizore and Nozomi. It felt as if they were encased in a delicate glass bubble that you could only touch extremely gently so as not to break it. I approached the world of the film with that kind of mindset.
