I recommend AnoHana. It is also a drama but with a splash of supernatural instead of romance.

Another easy recommendation in the fantasy genre is Frieren which is currently the highest rated anime on MAL, so it's hard to go wrong there.

My personal favorite anime is Haibane Renmei but after that, there isn't much worth in watching anything else anymore since it's only downhill from there, so I suggest to only watch it once you got your fill.

I thought about it, but she looks up only the last 10 posts anyway and it's easier to just jump into those 10 posts and remove the duplicates than to add some function to the script that is of use only once at first run.

I love ruthless characters that aren't tearing mindlessly through hundreds of minions just to then say that it would make them evil when it comes punishing the mastermind. It's one of my most hated tropes. The equivalent of a transparent moon in anime. Both can really get me started on an hour long hate triade.

A good MC in that regard is Alicia from <The Otome Heroine’s Fight for Survival> or Victoria from . Both are good and kind characters but if they encounter someone who needs killing they don't hesitate to get their hands dirty.

[META] Just a heads up. I will proably this or next week bring the updated Myne live. This will proably trigger her to react to old posts again. I will try to clean up after her, but if I miss something you know why she's reacting again. But as a bonus we get a lot of cool new features. (if everythign works)

What a sweet episode. I hope that announcer player ship will sail.

Black haired Rozemyne is disturbing.

The release is tommorow

I think next month. It's listed as May 23.

I'm scared to think about what that library would contain.

About the other points, let's wait until you finished the series, since I don't want to spoil anything. I hope you'll make such a detailed post for the entire series once you finished it. No pressure ;)

'Three Cheats from Three Goddesses' sounds like something for me.

<This Alluring Dark Elf Has the Heart of a Middle-aged Man! Vol. 1> - What I expected was something like the "Bureaucrat to Villainess" anime where the MC approaches problems with the assuredness and wisdom that comes with age, but instead the MC in this is crippled by a extreme lack of self esteem and general lack of confidence rooted in his age. Every single page there is somehting about him thinking if he should even talk to that group of young adventurers because "on the inside he's an 40 year old" or if he's allowed to eat at that place because "on the inside he's an 40 year old". Or maybe if he is sticking out badly because "on the inside he's an 40 year old". You get the drift. MC is the worst kind of milktoast characters that is even afraid to answer a perfeclty normal question asked in good faith while getting lost in the mazes of their insane inner monologue all because "on the inside he's an 40 year old". This is probably the type of character I dislike the most. And MC here is a especially bad case. Take an early example: MC is in in the adventurers guild browsing the job board when a group of archetypical thugs show up and start harrassing MC as if their existence depended on being as cliche as possible. They then proceed to drag MC ouside and MC just thinks that becasue "on the inside he's an 40 year old" he should probably prostrate themself on the floor and ask for forgiveness. Then they try to rape MC (remember he's in a bombshell dark elf body) and he reists by using non-leathal magic. Here is a quote with what comes next: “A sigh of relief escaped me at the realization that I’d overcome this hurdle, but it was almost instantly followed by self-loathing. I had just deliberately attacked others. I felt sick about it.” Again just to drive the point home: Some thugs ahve dragged MC ouside into an alley and tried to rape MC and then he feels self-loathing for having defended himself. You can't make that shit up. Maybe it's just my western mentality and a typical Japanese reader would just nod their head as if this was normal, but to me this is like nails on a chalkboard. 0/10

<I Shall Survive Using Potions! Vol. 10> - The series is growing a bit stale. For the last volume or two it's basically exactly the same with the town's and support character's names changed. It's still entertaining to read but the series is at a point when it absolutely needs a bit of a twist or refresh. 6/10

<The Ephemeral Scenes of Setsuna’s Journey, Vol. 5> - I love how cou can see the author's progress with each volume. The general direction of the series didn't change, but in the first volume the emotional manipulation was forced and on the nose as if written with a sledgehammer on the hide of a dead horse. In the following voumes it was still there but less and less ham fisted. In the last one you had to look for it and in this voume it feels entirely organic. Looking forward to the next volume. 8/10

<Magic Stone Gourmet: Eating Magical Power Made Me the Strongest Volume 8> - The entire volume is more or less 3 fights one after another. And let's just say the author isn't very good at writing fights. Instead of some epic and hype conclusion to the past 7 volumes each fight reminds me more of the sword fights in Secret of Monkey Island if instead of witty oneliners there were entire chapters of exposition between sword strikes. Here is a line form one of those fights after a character was hit by a surprise attack: “Huh?! What?! Why has a blade pierced my chest?!” totally normal reaction when you get suddenly pierced by a sword. No grunt of pain or angry scream, instead one describes what has happened. And that's how the entire volume was to read. Just those incredible badly wirtten fights one after another that are drawn out for way to long to have the characters spill all their backstory like a Bond villain. 3/10

Adding my recommendations (just because):

• Tattoine Rhapsody (episode 2): K-On! if Hokago Tea time was employed by Jabba the Hutt.
• The Village Bride (episode 4): Like an mix of an TNG episode and the Eupha arc in Metaphor:RePhantazio
• Lop and Ocho (episode 8): Star Wars coded Family drama. The best episode in my opinion.

It's the same as "Redo of Healer" and "The Hero Laughs While Walking the Path of Vengeance a Second Time". At least in anime form you're not forced to read the deranged thought processes of the characters.

My main problem (apart from the general low quality) with those 3 series is that the META of the story indicates that the authors see this as normal and acceptable. It's hard to explain because it's the intent between the lines. It's not portrait as something bad the character do, but glorified as if it's the righteous thing to do. If regular power fantasies are written for introverts that feel powerless, these three are written for those of them that are fantasizing about burning the school down with the classmates inside. You know the type that looks at school shootings and think "yeah, they had it coming". Or to stay anime specific, those that think burning down an animation studio is the right thing to do because they stole their idea.
