I have personally been some combination of sick, traveling, and busy the past couple weeks, so I haven't been very active in these threads. I have fallen way behind most things this season. The only thing I have managed to keep up with has been City the Animation, and I have absolutely loved every second of it. I am hoping to try to catch up on a couple shows this week, but I am still struggling with a lingering illness, so time will tell.

Is City the one from the creator of Nichijo? Or am i thinking of something else?
Unboxious@ani.social · 3 pts · 328d
Yep! Both the same mangaka and the same animation studio as Nichijou. If anything, the animation is somehow even better.

I've finished Mushishi recently and it's one of my all-time favorites now. It's also the first anime with each episode having its own story that I rated as 10/10 without any doubt, because it consistently succeeded achieving depth and sophistication without relying on longform plot. It's one of a kind, I can't really think of any other anime like this.

On a whim, I watched the first episode of The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity last week, and it just sucked me in. I ended up binging the ten current episodes over two evenings and loved everything about it.
So then it was episode 11 of that and episode 11 of Milky Subway, both of which were excellent in their own ways.
Aside from that, I've been rewatching Scrapped Princess, and being reminded of what a great series it is.

I picked up - and caught up to the latest episode of - Milky☆Subway: The Galactic Limited Express seeing as it is ending soon.
At just 3 minutes long per episode, it was an easy binge.
It's been a fun watch, but it feels like it is going to end with a cliffhanger, and would need more seasons to cover the rest of the story.

Binged the summer that hikaru died. Really liking the eerie vibe and mystery.

Honestly there's not a whole lot that's like it out there. I really like Summer Time Rendering, and the two shows have a lot in common, but they also have plenty of differences. Summer Time Rendering is a bit less eerie & mystery and is more action-oriented for example.
NaClKnight@fedia.io · 2 pts · 325d
Summertime Rendering is definitely one of my favorites. I second that recommendation.
AmanitaCaesarea@slrpnk.net · 1 pts · 328d
Thx for the recommendation, will check it out. My taste is just very vanilla front page top 10 and shounens. So something like this once in a while is great.

I’m currently hooked to 牧神记 for granpa mute, 云深不知梦. But for me, I haven't started 🧵s because I haven't found anything to discuss.

Is it possible to request a discussion through Rikka of one-shot episodes like bâan? It has an AL page and all.
wjs018@ani.social · 2 pts · 324d
It should be? I will give it a shot real quick.
Edit: It worked!

Awesome
