Following up on some comments in the recent meta thread, I decided to be the change I want to see in the world and create a place to talk about anime that aren't actively airing.

I plan on making these posts regularly going forward on Mondays as they normally suck for most people that work M-F, so why not try to make them a little bit better? Also, in the process of making this post, I found out that there is an ISO standard that says weeks start on Monday rather than Sunday. TIL!

Just a reminder to tag your spoilers.

Yeah, sometimes you know right away if a show is going to be good or not. I should have heeded those feelings when I watched Am I Actually the Strongest last season. I got like 10 minutes in and was already kind of tired of it.....then proceeded to watch the whole season. This season I am getting those vibes from The Family Circumstances of the Irregular Witch. I am three episodes in and it hasn't really gotten much better. I am just terrible at dropping a show once I have started.

I still have 2-3 eps from the Box guy (Am I the strongest). I started the manga last year, so I knew the plot, but disn't follow up until I finish the anime...

Yeah, the show was frustrating to me. I actually feel like it could have been good, but the pacing felt way off. You can see a previous rant of mine on an episode discussion thread, but the adaptation's pacing felt super inconsistent. Props for having one of the best little sister characters in a while though.

Am I Actually the Strongest is basically Eminence in Shadow without the carefully-staged "epic" visual shots or any awareness of just how silly the concept is, in my not-so-humble opinion.

Haha, it's like you read my mind. To pull off a parody, you need to push everything to 11 and this show just really didn't go far enough in a shameless enough way to pull it off (if it was even meant to be a parody, I still can't tell).

"If I can't watch anime, then there's nothing for me to do except sleep" :D the growing otaku line :D
