9. Draggle on Eromanga-sensei

   Summary:

   But the main thing is, this felt quite fresh and entertaining. Even if the show uses the traditional anime harem tropes as guidance, it doesn’t feel bound by them and adds a unique twist in every case.

10. Kobayashi's Maid Dragon

    

    Finally done with Kobayashi. They mostly removed everything too gross, such as magical penises, but eh... Thematic concerns are abundant. The series pretty cute if you can get over that, althugh a bit too straightforward (the final visit was much too predictable). Production values are oustanding.

    I made a note …

11. Mastodon killed animeblogging

    

    Also! You know who plays Nygglatho in SukaSuka? Grandma Kikuko Inoue. That woman is older than I am and still kicks ass. {Update: Evirus remarks: "Her daughter is in the show too."}

    P.S. GAB.ai permits a funny hack: although their "Anime" topic is not available through the front …

12. Question about Muramasa in Eromanga-sensei

    

    

    Does anyone know, from original LN perhaps, why Muramasa's right hand is bandaged? She is manifestly left-handed.

    UPDATE: J. thinks her bandages are related to her calligraphy practice, which I suspected too, but I don't see exactly how it works.

    UPDATE: The reason is spelled out in manga ch.34 …

14. Saga of Tanya begins

    

    She may be evil or whatever, but she is absolutely out of this world hilarious. I did not laugh this much since... I dunno... Muteki Kanban Musume maybe? Why did nobody tell me sooner! Well, Mauser tried, but even so, this was completely unexpected. I thought it was going to …

15. SukaSuka begins

    

    I would probably not pick this up without Evurus' tepid approval. But it was okay so far.

    Unfortunately, I cannot enjoy it without reservations either. The massive yiff is cringeworthy. Presumably, the furry factor is there to masquerade or balance the shapeless blobs, which otherwise would stand out too much …

16. Elf Yamada in Eromanga-sensei manga and anime, ter

    Sorry, I lied. But the gag was irresistible.

    

    Two things though.

    Does anyone notice that Eromanga-sensei is taking upon shounen themes? It's a competition after competition, and the Sorting Algorithm of Evil. I can't tell if I watch Yowamushi Pedal or Nodame here. Masamune also befriends his defeated enemies like …

17. Musaigen no Phantom World cancelled

    

    Think of me as turning into a Aroduc-like hater if you will, but I just cannot stomach Phantom World. It seems... dull. Production values are rather good, but absolutely nothing of interest is going on. And yes, I know that there's some kind of plot thing happening by the end …

18. Elf Yamada in Eromanga-sensei manga and anime, bis

    Just one more thing from ep.3 — did you see the sequence of Elf shooting? A screencap cannot give it justice, but still:

    

    It reminded me about Evirus' comparo from K-ON, "Mio as she appears in the show versus Mio as fans see her". Only this one is in-show. Also …
