I really enjoyed I Parry Everything, weird to see it so low or not even ranked in categories it makes sense for. I also watched No Longer Allowed in Another World and it's way weirder to see it at the top of so many lists. Maybe some of the charm is lost in translation or I just don't appreciate the play on tropes as much.

Makeine is great so far, half way through about to binge the other half. Lovely art, generally avoiding the gross tropes that turn me off with these types of anime. When those tropes are visited it still manages to frame things in a believable way. I need to get my wife to watch it for her take, but it feels like the girls are represented respectfully as their own relatable characters and not strictly some object for the male viewers to desire. Probably still not totally there, but feels nice to see some growth in that direction.

Curious if anyone can compare Makeine to Days with my Stepsister, and Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian. Both of those shows have some face value ick that's keeping me from starting them.

Harem trash is starting to reclaim its place from isekai trash as the top seasonal slop. Nature is healing.

Ey yo what the fuck Makeine wasn't top 10?

[–] wjs018@ani.social 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

It was #2. They just used the longer version of the English name: Too Many Losing Heroines. Makeine is just the portmanteau of the full title in Japanese, "Make Heroine ga Oosugiru."

Apparently I'm fucking blind. Jesus Christ.

And the heroines just lost one more time as you looked right past them!

[–] wjs018@ani.social 2 points 1 month ago

I didn't watch Days with My Stepsister, but if you believe AC, then it was the best thing since sliced bread apparently. The fanbase must at least be pretty dedicated to bring out the vote to such an extent.

Too Many Losing Heroines? Too many Ws.
