Well jeez, there are a shitton of manga out there, I just hate compiling lists. Maybe if you like Watashi no Shouunen try I'm in Love With the Older Girl Next Door (I did a video on it) or Sweet Days With a Boy.

I'm not sure I'm going to pay much attention to the NHL playoffs but both NHL and NBA playoffs go on for fucking ever, especially if game 7's get involved. So far neither the Sixers or the Thunder look all that good and they're the only teams I really care about. As for the Coyotes I'll kinda miss the Kachina logo but everything else about that franchise was a disaster.

Are you watching Whisper Me a Love Song this season at least? I think I remember you being a fan of the manga. The manga didn't do much for me but the anime is pretty enjoyable so far... maybe I'm just not into the genki girl X brooding girl pairing. Gyaru X plainy is more my speed.

I’m sure my anime list would be longer too but no way am I even trying to compile either, LOL.

Not at all. One of the members just happens to be one, but the show doesn't focus on that activity. It's only relevant because it allows her to use her popularity to advertise the songs.

Shame, it's a great show. I can't say I ever thought about GTA watching it.

So, what are your final thoughts on Frieren?

No. Haruhi was on another level of mainstream penetration.

Still pretty bizarre though.

I'm not sure what you mean exactly about "pretenses" in Seiyuu Radio but its kind of like Watayuri in that the girls have work/stage personas and school/casual personas. I read a bit of the manga but it only adapted the first LN volume. From what I understand though the series is more about making it as seiyuu than any kind of yuri until pretty far into the series.

As far as the Ohtani stuff I think the guy just got robbed, unfortunately... but he's just got so fucking much money coming his way in the future $16m USD isn't that much in the grand scheme. I can't really handle baseball though... I might start paying attention in August when the playoff picture starts making sense. Although I am enjoying the drama over the A's moving from Oakland to... somewhere or other. I've only heard snippets about the Rice drama though... he was in a Lamborghini and racing against a Corvette on the freeway, or something like that.

Craymond is a great defender until he starts choking people or punching teammates or whatever. That guy has a few screws loose, and seems to get worse the further GSW falls from championship contention. They still have a chance in the play-in tournament I guess.

CGDCT = cute girls doing cute things. Sometimes there's yuri but 90% of the times there's just friendship with a side of bait, depending on how thick your yuri goggles are. I know Kanon's are especially thick. Spring 2024 is kinda loaded with CGDCT, I'm still on the fence about a few but definitely watching Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night and Train to the End of the World.

I never really liked shounen action to the point where I didn't even consider myself an anime fan until the mid '00s when the variety of shows coming out exploded. Now though I get the impression studios are churning out so much they're running out of stuff to adapt. Still waiting for a yuri to get S2 though.Oh and my sleeper of the season is Mysterious Disappearances (Kaii to Otome to Kamikakushi) MC is a big titty 28 year old I can simp way more than Xiaomao.

NBA's prep to pro era was bad but the one and done rule kind of killed college basketball for me. This year the women's NCAA final got higher TV ratings than the men's final thanks to Caitlin Clark. Dawn Staley is a local legend though so I'm glad the women's final went the way it did. I didn't care much for either team in the Men's final.

I get the impression you're mixing up Bokuyaba with Nagatoro or something, its really not similar at all. And clips don't really capture progression which is where Bokuyaba is a master class. I'm not really sure what to compare it to 1:1, but that aside... we also live in a world where the tsundere archetype has been going strong for 25+ years or so, so... there's a majority of your 'bullying' . There's only a handful of tsundere I really like -- mostly 'classic tsundere' -- but tsundere doesn't work that well in yuri.

On the subject of yuri I think you guys expect too much from CGDCT series, and for LN series like Seiyuu Radio its best to assume the author probably dragged things for 7 volumes or so until confession, which means we might see kisses in season 3. The history of yuri is kind of complicated and Class S was built on 'intimacy' more than romance. I'm still waiting for something to break the season 2 curse... I was hoping Wataoshi or Mahoako could do it but it remains to be seen. There's been no yuri announced beyond this season either... its kinda concerning.
