Darn... that was disappointing. I love the manga — it's easily in my all-time top 10, and probably even top 5. And this adaptation just didn't do it justice at all. It's obviously low budget, but that could've been okay, since there's no action to speak of. The weirdest and most disappointing thing is that the manga actually has better comedic timing, and that seems like it shouldn't even be possible. The manga has to essentially imply the timing by using beat panels and gimmicks with the panel layout and such, and it consistently nails it - that's one of the rhings I love about it. But I expected that, even as good as it is in the manga, it couldn't help but be even better in an anime, since they can actually control the time between lines and get it exactly right. And somehow they mostly failed. I don't even know how they managed it, but the timing was awful, so a lot of the jokes fell flat. I'll keep watching it, if for no other reason than that they haven't done any of my favorites yet (Wada at the crane game, Yamamoto's story about the boob squeeze, Wada's doppelganger, the reason they both sit on the same side of the table, Wada's monologue about fighting off wildlife...) But I'm not very hopeful. You know... I wonder if the mangaka had anything to do with this. Notoriously, he was angry when the manga took off (it was originally unlicensed and posted online) because he thinks his other stuff is better, and he's been dragging his feet on doing new chapters since it got serialized. Could he have actually sabotaged the adaptation? I can't imagine it, but that would explain why it's so inexplicably mediocre...

A filler for a season opener is an interesting choice.

Haha dum me posting without fact checking myself again. Funnily enough I’ve seen that dogs scene before. I just kinda assumed City was some kind of sequel or something.

I watched two episodes and dropped it because the plot was super generic and I was just incredibly bored with it. From what I've heard from people who watched it, it was like that throughout the whole season. I admit that this show had really good production quality but that's not enough to keep me interested

Unfortunately the animation looks like ass coz of the CGI

Masterpiece!

Still the funniest anime and it's insane to me that we get sequels to the two top comedy shows in the same season after so long. Now if there were a second season alf Asobi Asobase I would start to question reality. The animation quality was also a good step up season 1. I can't wait to see how the addition of the yandere sister will break up all the existing social interactions for season 2.

Stuff from last season: Apothecary Diaries - A solid ending for a solid show. Glad to say I liked the final episode of the season more than the penultimate one. Apocalypse Hotel - This show started out good and then very quickly became great. I was worried there wasn't enough material to keep a team of robots running a hotel interesting but they certainly proved me wrong! Hard to say whether this or Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuux was anime of the season for me. Stuff from this season: The Summer Hikaru Died - A highly-rated horror yaoi manga brought to animation by the same studio that gave us Bang Brave Bang Bravern and the aforementioned Apocalypse Hotel. The first episode was pretty solid. Overall it looks pretty good, which is no guarantee when it comes to horror manga. Definitely good enough to get me interested in episode 2. City: The Animation - Same mangaka and animation studio as Nichijou, and it shows in all the right ways. It seems a little calmer than Nichijou so far, but that could very easily be because it spent most of its runtime introducing a wide cast of characters. Excited to see where it goes from here. Witch Watch - Witch Watch continues. It's fun, but I'm not sure it holds up to the other shows I'm discussing here. Nyaight of the Living Cat - Haven't seen the first episode yet, but I'm putting this here just to say I've seen the trailer and I am very intrigued. Hopefully I can rope my wife into watching this with me tonight. Other stuff: Yakitate Japan!! - I mentioned this earlier, but this is an anime about making bread that's better than another guy's bread. There are bread tournament arcs and everything, judged by a zany character who is voiced by my favorite voice actor. It's a wild time; I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a fun old relatively low-stress thing. Ghost in the Shell: Stand-alone Complex - I don't know if I have much to say about this other than it's good sci-fi and those who like good sci-fi should consider watching it. Gintama - I got back on the Gintama train recently. I'm somewhere around episode 220 and it continues to be funny as hell. Princess Jellyfish - My wife has been watching this one, and I've watched about an episode and a half with her. Seems like a good show; I'll likely finish it at some point but I have no idea when.

Holy Shit! What a start! I really wanted to read manga I am glad that I didn't Also, can any Manga reader can tell me that they are adapting faithfully or not?
