I'm going to be blunt. A Silent Voice is great. A Sign of Affection...doesn't do anything for me. I only watched a few eps. MC is too infantilized IMO. "Be shy and cute and multiple attractive dudes will put in massive amounts of effort to get to know you, overcome your special needs and be your crutch"

I love the depiction in Silent Voice where MC doesn't speak fluently but kind of grunts. But in A Sign of Affection her inner voice has perfect diction and that IMO completely takes away from the depiction of deafness. The anime director could have been more creative in how to express her inner "voice", if an inner dialogue was needed at all

Thanks for the detailed reply! That story sounds longer than I expected, and interesting that it's faithful to the game without much filler, maybe I'll keep an eye on the manga then.

(Apologies if this is slightly off-topic as I'm not up to date on this manga)

I played a bit of the gacha game for this and read a small handful of the early manga chapters. I loved the character and clothing designs, leaning heavily on "cool" and "badass" more than sex appeal. Not that I dislike the latter at all, just refreshing to get a different aesthetic sometimes. The game was also impressive for a phone gacha game.

So my question: Is it worth following the manga, especially if I no longer play the gacha game? Does the story feel like it's leading to a conclusion, or is it going to be drawn out forever, as a perpetual promo for the game?

Utsukushiki Zankoku na Sekai by Yoko Hikasa - Attack on Titan ED1. The melody is a startling contrast from the anime itself. Unlike the action packed and destructive anime, the song is gentle and pure, sad and foreboding, but with a measure of strength. Like someone (namely Mikasa, featured in the video) desperately fighting to hold on to something that will inevitably escape their grasp.

I love the Oshi no Ko OP so much. YOASOBI are awesome!

Uncle from Another World / Isekai Ojisan is so, so good

I checked out the first episode. It's unabashedly degenerate, and over the top. It's a great start 😆

That makes sense to me, a hybrid of /c/anime and series-specific /c/s depending on popularity. That makes more sense than /c/episode_discussion since that's categorized on the type of content, rather than categorized by a community of people interested in it. So I agree with the future vision. Appreciate you taking the time to explain!

Oh so !episode_discussion@ani.social is getting phased out from the sound of it. I'm out of the loop and was curious how that community fit into the picture, this cleared it up, assuming I interpreted correctly.

I haven't seen Date a Live, what do you like about it? I've seen the red goth lolita girl in fan art, and the title sounds familiar, it seems to get referenced a lot over the years. If they're up to season 5 there must be something special about it huh?
