Nice!

Hot take, probably:

negative opinion

The writing in this episode is so Chuuni, and the dialogue so cringe. There were moments like this in previous episodes, but this time it's just too much.

One more update: I got too impatient waiting for its anime adaptation, so I picked up Uma Musume - Pretty Derby: Star Blossom. I ended up binging it because I simply can't put it down.

Some scenes actually gave me chills and made my hair stood on end. It's just so peak. I foresee it being just as amazingumazing as the Cinderella Gray anime once it gets adapted.

Thanks to the announcement of its anime adaptation, I checked out The Laid-Off Cheat-Granting Mage.

It started off like any other exiled-from-party, power-fantasy / revenge slop, but in just a few chapters it degenerated into a wacky comedy.

This may not be the most accurate comparison since it isn't really a parody, but I was reminded of Konosuba and Isegure.

In other words, it is not like the typical wish-fulfilment slop. I enjoyed it quite a bit, and would check the anime out when it's released.

Plenty of anime for me to follow next season!

Sequels

• Grand Blue S3
• 100 Girlfriends S3
• Polar Opposites S2
• Saga of Tanya the Evil S2

Familiar with plot

• Kamui, the One Standing Behind You - I don't think this is for everyone (read: prudes) but I found it funny.

Unfamiliar with plot

• My Stepmother and Stepsisters Aren’t Wicked - A Cinderella parody? Now that's sufficiently unique! (in the realm of anime, that is)
• Ghost in the Shell - I haven't got around to watching the original version; might as well check the reboot out.

Maybe Jobless Reincarnation S3, but I doubt I'll be able to catch up to the latest season in time to follow it as it airs.

I can confirm that this is from Pokemon Adventures.

Maybe this is me being noob but I don't see any resemblances to Alcremie besides the hat (and maybe the fork, thematically)

What is a "prep"?
