@tryslora finally! Someone who watches as much as I do (or even more??) What were your standouts for the season? I was surprised to really enjoy I'm the Villainess.

@breezeholmfox I absolutely enjoyed the Villainess one, which I wasn't expecting at first. It was one that made time on the elliptical pass very quickly.

TBH, I really enjoyed everything on the list? The ones I don't enjoy get kicked after a couple episodes. I'm disappointed in the end of Little Lies but it holds a soft spot in my heart for being quirky. Love Flops was a surprise, and I loved it. DIY and Bocchi were standouts. I'm pleased Reincarnated is getting a 2nd season.

@tryslora DIY felt like this season's winner in the cozy category. I didn't actually start Love Flops, it didn't seem like it was going to be something I'd like, but maybe I'll give it a shot now

@breezeholmfox I started Love Flops because I'm a fool for a good meet ugly. For me, there were hints of something beyond the harem/ecci and I really liked where it went (unexpected, and then expected based on the twist) and how it turned out. It may not be for everyone.

I'm also a fool for wordplay, so the title makes me giggle after seeing the whole thing. It DOES lean into the ecci, for reasons that make a weird kind of sense in the end.

@tryslora I don't mind putting up with a bit of unnecessary ecci if there's something that goes beyond it. Actually that's how I felt about Call of the Night

@breezeholmfox Call of the Night was one I bounced out of because the ecci made me uncomfortable in the first episode (mostly due to age issues). :(

Love Flops had one age issue which made me uncomfy, but overall, it felt like... I struggled to explain it while it was airing. It felt like teen boy brain, and there ended up being a reason(ish) why it was there.

@tryslora yeah I was more uncomfortable with it until I realized that it's all a big metaphor for coming of age anyway (that and nothing actually happens except some biting and a couple of kisses, it's all innuendo)
@breezeholmfox For me it was just a bit too much for me to keep it on my too-long list that season (I drop things quickly, mostly because I still end up with so many shows each season). I'll make a note to maybe try it again some time, if I get time!
@tryslora I'll keep following to see what you make of this upcoming (busy!) season!

@breezeholmfox I'm really REALLY looking forward to the new season and hoping that some of the ones I'm most excited about turn out to be as good as I'm hoping.

It'll be nice to have folks to talk to about things. I have done a lot of screaming into the ether in the past.
