23d 9h ago in anime@ani.socialI am going to be posting a new weekly thread in a couple hours, so you might have some better luck if you repost this question there, but I have made a pass at some recommendations below. You have a lot of the recent ones I have enjoyed. Some others that come to mind:
- Lycoris Recoil - Imagine John Wick but with anime girls
- Villainess Level 99 - the animation quality isn't great, but the humor is and it wraps up nicely, not some cliffhanger that will never resolve
- Mushishi - Anthology series...don't binge this one, take it slow and let your brain chew on each episode
- Silent Witch - kind of like if you made Bocchi into an OP witch
- 100 Girlfriends - Strap in to experience the best harem MC out there - Rentaro
- Dungeon People - A great SoL about the folks working behind the scenes to make a dungeon work
- Endo and Kobayashi - a fun take on the villainess genre; if you like tsunderes, you will like this one
- Fruits Basket (2019) - one of the pillars of shoujo, and for a good reason
- Slime 300 - a very laid back SoL, basically a CGDCT
- Kino's Journey (2017) - anthology series...if you really like this, then you can watch the older 2003 series as well for some different stories
- Love After World Domination - the red ranger falls in love with an enemy general...
- Orb: On the Movements of the Earth - an anime about heliocentrism...yeah, it sounds weird as a premise, but it works...trust me.
- Heavenly Delusion - Traveling across a post-apocalyptic Japan and things are kind of off...
- Shimoneta - a world in which even the smallest dirty talk/gesture is literally illegal, meet the brave warriors fighting back against this censorship with the power of horny (note: don't watch this with anybody else in the room)
- Yuri on Ice - dramatic ice skating (boys version) - Medalist is the girls version, but I haven't watched it, so I can't vouch for it, but I have heard good things.

28d 7h ago in anime@ani.social from s4.anilist.coWait, so did episode 7 just air? If so, I will just make this be the thread for 6-7 and episode 8 should go like normal then.
Crunchyroll's Net Profit Falls By Over 60%: What This Might Mean for Anime Fans - Anime Corner
29d 39m ago in anime@ani.social from animecorner.meLooks like Bodacious Space Pirates.
Fun fact - I visited Tokyo years ago when I had a friend living over there teaching English as part of the JET program. When I visited Ueno Park, there was a group of cosplayers in the park all in costumes from this show doing a photoshoot. I had no idea what show it was at the time, but figured it out years later when I came across a random image in a thread like this one and was able to piece it together.
[Chapter] Maid Skater - Ch. 11
29d 9h ago in manga@ani.social from mangadex.orgGreat color page with a title drop. It almost felt like the series end, but it isn't marked as such on MD.
Lightnovels releasing this week: (May 04 - May 10)
1mon 14d ago in lightnovels@ani.socialI Like Villains, so I Reincarnated as One
I was ready to write about how I started this manga and am actually kind of liking it...only to find out that I am reading a manga for a series that is very similar, That is Needed for a Villainous Aristocrat. Too many villain stories in my rotation lately I guess.
[News] "The World's Strongest Witch" Anime Adaptation Announced with New Teaser Visual, PV
1mon 17d ago in anime@ani.social from ogre.natalie.muI am pretty excited about this one. It is a community favorite over on manga@ani.social and it is very funny.
[Chapters] After I Let The Small And Cute Intellectual Senior Of The Literature Club Sit On My Lap, She Started Sitting There Every Day - Ch. 1 - Ch. 2.2
1mon 18d ago in manga@ani.social from mangadex.orgCute series!
It's a shame it's ending there then. That is unless she ends up not being able to hold herself back...

1mon 19d ago in kemonomoe@ani.social from ani.socialUbuntu already has some anime-ready mascots they could use from their official manga, Ubunchu!
Any idea what manga or anime this panel is referencing?
1mon 19d ago in manga@ani.social from ani.socialTIL! Thanks!
Midweek discussions - How about a magic trick?
1mon 19d ago in lightnovels@ani.socialI tend to prefer softer magic systems like you have described in stories for this reason. Most writers aren't good at writing a hard magic system, so those stories tend to not hold together too well. I find it easier to suspend disbelief if the magic system starts loose to begin with; it makes it less jarring later on.
