I love the animation, story and music so much! It’s also one of those rare anime I can recommend to non-anime fans. This is definitely my second favourite anime this season (I’m sorry but Natsuki Subaru’s Melancholy: Season 3 is also airing).

Grandpa is aging.
I wonder if his back hurts.
Grandma is so wise.

Bad haiku aside, grandma is certainly very observant. Also it’s been a while since I read the manga so I don’t remember who the voice on the phone belongs to.

I was confused by that too. My theory is that it’s an indicator for affection level. Alicia has already deviated from the original plot of the game quite a bit so I imagine some of the NPCs would be affected by Alicia’s “villainess”-ness.

I am not even a little surprised that school rooftops are popular tourist destinations.

Speaking of which, it’s adorable how Honjouji is accidentally being tsundere lol. I would be happy to get a frog shaped rock too, although that’s just because I also liked collecting weird rocks (I had to get rid of them when I moved 😭).

spirals spirals the never ending spirals spirals spirals spirals spirals spirals spirals spirals spirals spirals spirals spirals spirals spirals spirals spirals

The animation is so smooth, I wonder if they did rotoscoping for the movements. The black and white really brings out the body horror. It really captures the Junji Ito vibe perfectly.

Definitely one of my favourites of the season! All the characters are great, the animation is so lively and the story is a perfect mix of funny and serious. This anime is going in my special list.

Ah yes, isekai trash.

Junk food is fine sometimes okay don’t judge me

Putting aside the animation quality (or lack thereof), I thoroughly enjoyed this anime from start to finish.

I recognised a lot of the things shown, especially in this episode, that I’ve experienced in my own life with me as well as people I know. I was worried about the representation when I first started the show but it completely blew away all my expectations. The author clearly knows what they’re doing.

Makoto is really strong. Self-confidence is hard but he really nailed it. How greedy, which is very fitting lol (the op has been given the honour of being in some of my special playlists).

I see a fan translation on Mangadex and an official English version on Webtoon. I’m gonna go with the fan translation because it’s further ahead and the scanlators have a really good track record.

Fly high, Makoto 🏳️‍⚧️

Kana suffering 😔

I’m 100% certain that they’re going to adapt the whole thing. I can’t wait for season 3.

This is the kind of show where I don’t really like any of the main characters but I still think they’re entertaining. This whole thing works because of how messy it is so the moment that’s resolved, the story ends.

I think the biggest reason I actually liked the show is because it knows it’s cringe and wears it like a badge of honour.

Teenager? I was a teenager once. They locked me in a room. A classroom. A classroom with teenagers. And teenagers make me crazy.

I don’t think I’ll check out the source material but if there’s a season 2 I’ll most likely watch it.

I was expecting to enjoy some isekai trash when I first saw the title. Then I kept going just because I loved the ed. This anime is surprisingly good. I didn’t know much about Dazai before but after reading more about him, I’m really interested in checking out some of his work.

We’re almost at the end. Despite the overused chibi, I thoroughly enjoyed this anime. I can’t wait to see how all this wraps up.

Also shika virus infected the anime (get out of my head)

Masachika busted?? Maybe Alya was too caught up in the moment to notice.

I waiting so long and I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed the anime. It’s not all romance and comedy, the debates were really well written and I loved the mind games.

When Yuki started analysing Masachika’s cheap provocation, I knew it was over. That whole segment flowed so well and I love how well they communicated that indirectly by tying all the lead up to it together.

I’ll get around to reading the LNs one of these days, just wanna catch up to Classroom of the Elite and Tsukimichi first.

I also haven’t properly looked at all the upcoming anime. I think I’ll comment on the pinned thread on the weekend. I noticed some bangers coming out.

And the piece of shit makes his appearance for the first time in the anime.

I really love those symbolic animation sequences. They’re so captivating and I’m always impressed by how it communicates the story indirectly.

So far this is a strong contender for my favourite substory in the show, right next to Episode 8.

I think Greed is a misnomer for Yuriko because what she displayed was not greed. Empathy is hard when your own perspective is all you know. Sure communication would have easily solved this, but let’s be real, that’s way too hard.
