Got around to watching some of the shows that's been on my to watch list for awhile.

Love Stage:
Izumi was great in this, adorable and funny. Wasn't the biggest fan of his love interest though. Ryoma came off a bit bland, and the jokes with him didn't hit home. Still, the better characters of the show (Izumi and Rei) were more than able to carry the show. Anytime it was focused on one of them, it was great.

Another note, and something that made me like it a lot more than most BL anime/manga, is that when Ryoma pushed things a bit too far at one point, he actually realized that he screwed up. In a lot of BL anime/manga the seme gets rapey but it's played off as a sexy or funny scene. This went the other way, he felt bad and gave a genuine apology for it. I wish more BL was like this, or just had the seme not get overly aggressive in the first place.

The art took some getting used to, but it was fine. Oh yeah, one other point I'll give it is having a somewhat realistic after math to their first time having sex. I'd give it a pretty solid 8/10. Definitely worth checking out if you like romance anime, especially of the m/m variety.

Seitokai Yakuindomo:
This is one that I really wanted to like, but it ended up being kinda bad. In the first two episodes it just tries too hard to be constantly funny, throwing out as many jokes as they can possibly fit into the episode. Most of them didn't even have any kind of a setup. Saw some clips that were pretty funny before starting it, but episodes as just didn't live up to the individual good jokes of the series.

Pet Girl of Sakurasou:
Only watched the first episode so far, but it was a good first impression. The lighting and colors for the show are amazing. It's the type where every frame looks good. Ended up being a bit more melancholy than I expect, but the comedy was still pretty good. I heard it moves from comedy to drama in the later parts, so the melancholy mood probably fits pretty well as the series continues. The interactions between Sorata and Mashiro in the first episode was great, and I really want to see more of them.

We'll agree to disagree on Seitokai Yakuindomo. Never hurts to have a series that doesn't take itself seriously in what would normally be a standard harem/romcom.

On that note, going back and reading Ranma 1/2. Been years since I last read it. Also, watched episode 1 both subbed and dubbed. Dub, for the time, isn't bad. A few things kind of stick out, but overall, a lot better than some other series that have been dubbed (looking at you Chibi Vampire). And I honestly wouldn't mind if Ranma 1/2 got touched up. An OVA came out a few years ago, and man does the art look good!

Hey guys,

Just wanted to let the two of you know that the reason for the pretty much non-existent post rate from the others in this thread now is because of the Discord server we made. It more or less resulted in people not using the spam thread anymore, and in turn most people don't really come here anymore.

We have an anime channel set up on Discord, so if you wanna join in on that (you're obviously not limited to anime though), then here's the link.

https://discord.gg/0lRH6sKlBrb22xai

I can help you set everything up if there are any problems (and you actually wanna join in, even if just to take a look), and you can just post here if that's the case. Otherwise I'll still be keeping an eye as long as somebody's posting here, just know that aside from the two of you we might not be seeing a lot of activity.
