Thanks for pointing this out. I have disabled future threads for this show. It will still be requestable if somebody in a different region with a different release schedule wants a thread.

...unbelievably terrible move by netflix

The fans would be cool about it I think given how they are Urumin x Kimiya shippers already. The real danger is if the other members find out.

The closest thing I can think of is Taisho Otome Fairy Tale. However, the MC loses function of his hand/arm early in the story due to an accident. Everything else seems to fit though. I remember reading the beginning of the series, but dropped it pretty quick. I don't remember why though, probably just had too many series to keep up with.

I am up to date with the manga and thought that this first episode was better than I thought it would be (the dragons weren't even crappy CG). It's a fun story if you don't mind the extremely socially anxious main character (Bocchi, etc.). I hope that they keep up this quality for the rest of the season and give Nero more opportunities to be his cool self.

I love this series so much.

Some of those Sumi faces seemed like straight traces of Kubo when she went into moe-blob form.

This specific point of terrorizing the boss? Nope. I just went and checked. They combined two story beats into one in episode 10. They had Alicia grinding in the dark-element dungeon (instead of just getting lost in it) with Yumiella's help and beating the boss over and over again. That is where they found the dark and light swords (and a wind spear for Patrick). However, the boss never really showed recognition of Yumiella or terror at her approach.

Now we are back in Saki's POV. It's great to see Kanon having fun and being social, but it is certainly a change for Saki. I think that it is an interesting idea to explore the dependence that builds up between somebody that takes on the role of a caretaker and the one being taken care of. Now that Saki isn't needed as much by Kanon, how does their relationship change?

I can't say I am a huge fan of Kanon's mom pushing for them to be living apart...like, what's the harm? Does she want Kanon to be more independent? If that is the case, it's already happening (as Saki is finding out). In any case, I do agree that there is a big difference between being roommates and just living very close to one another.

They really underplayed how much PTSD Yumiella gives this dungeon boss. I remember feeling genuinely bad for it by the time her trip ended when I read this in the WN.

We just cracked a dozen chapters and she already realized her feelings. Good stuff!

Premieres October 2025. The new PV is here. Check out the ANN article for additional information. Synopsis from the article:

The story centers on male high school student Akira, who went into cold sleep and woke up 200 years later to a world that was ravaged by war. A new unified organization called OWEL leads people, and a new system called "Elsie" (or "LC") has now taken the place of marriage.

Appearing before Akira after he wakes is an android named Yugure, who looks strikingly similar to his girlfriend Towasa. Yugure immediately proposes marriage to a baffled Akira. Akira then decides to go on a journey with Yugure, as he believes Towasa must still exist in this world.

 

Premieres sometime in 2026. Check out the Crunchyroll article for additional information. Synopsis from AniList:

In the year 199X, the world is engulfed in a nuclear inferno! The seas have vanished. The earth lies in ruins. It seems all life has been wiped out...but humanity has not perished!

Across the scorched and broken land, survivors cling to hope, desperately searching for food and water. However, their hopes are trampled underfoot by violence. Might makes right in this world, and the weak are crushed without mercy.

From the depths of that despair, a lone man with seven scars on his chest emerges. His name is Kenshiro, heir to the legendary assassination art Hokuto Shinken. As he roams the wasteland in pursuit of his sworn enemy Shin, who stole his fiancée Yuria, Kenshiro answers the cries of the oppressed, becoming a beacon of hope in a world of despair.

Standing in his path are brutal survivors of the apocalypse, their ambitions twisted by power and greed. In a world where the weak are prey and prayers go unheard, Kenshiro forges a path with his iron fists!
