They're too occupied with Nagatoro's anime announcement and the "blatant racism" of the tanned anime girl to get mad at Redo of Healer. They lack any sense of parallel processing it seems.

One thing I am concerned about when it comes to Nagatoro is the way they're gonna handle the first two episodes. I liked the early chapters of Nagatoro but people are gonna bitch and cry about the early parts since it's "really offensive bullying".

Luckily, people are doing their best to stomp out the blatant racism of Nagatoro. God Bless.

I wonder how they feel about Nagatoro being a complete asshole for the first episode, maybe they'll feel it's female empowerment over the loser men. These people will not stick around for subsequent episodes where she turns around. This outrage shit is to tiring after Shield Hero, Goblin Slayer, and Uzaki.

Also in Berserk News: Miura is still has zero idea what to do with Isidro, but we got confirmation that Miura is a prequel chad.

We already got “Nagatoro is a pedo show for sick people” discourse and the show hasn’t even dropped yet. Wonderful. As well as the the silly "you only like it for culture war reasons" thing, since you saw people outside of japan post about it for eons. It's a bit outside of my wheelhouse, but Nagatoro is undeniably a pretty big deal and has had more staying power than some other seasonals that blew up for awhile, and the anime isn't even out yet.

Nagatoro is, considering it's origins in the creator's masochism fetish, a completely normal slow burn romance and has less fanservice than some of the stuff out there but someone with a Nagatoro icon called these people screeching about it gay once so they have to be cartoonish lunatics about it.

I don't get the appeal of Nagataro, do people really want a woman who does nothing but treat you like shit and try to get under your skin? She seems less "tsundere" and more genuinely mean. The whole fantasy seems self destructive.

And yeah these people probably see smug anime avatars when they close their eyes and get an anxiety attack.

The answer to that is yes, but also Nagatoro becomes vanilla pretty quick, and the bullying becomes her getting him to exercise more and learning to snowboard.
Whats surprising to me is Terror in Renonance since it wasn't very good, the only thing I remember about that show was the great soundtrack, the terrible english, and the dumb ending.

Welp, Higurashi Gou jumped the shark this episode. On top of it being really gross (and not in a good way, holy fuck), I believe it's reconned Rika's motivation for why she wanted to live past June of 1983.

She wants to live past June because she wants to grow up and stay with her friends forever. She doesn't want to live past June just to leave Hinamizawa and everyone behind even if the village will be fine without her. If her friends leave Hinamizawa, she was going to follow them and not for any selfish(? If you can even call it that) reasons such as starting a new life outside of Hinamizawa without anyone else. Hanyuu always wanted what was best for Rika, after all, she'd totally be okay with Rika living outside of the village just as long as she doesn't forget her heritage. And far as I can tell, she hasn't, but nah, this Rika just wants to get out of Hinamizawa alone and it wasn't even a case of gaslighting, either.

Such a crock of bullshit. I don't even care about whatever it is Takano wants to talk to Rika about next episode since she's practically been non-existent this series, this is such a weak explanation for why Rika is being forced to go through torture porn again. This is a weak excuse for a Bernkastel origin story, too, if this is even leading up to that.

Also I haven't mentioned it because I figured it was just due to the voice-actress' age, but Mika Kanai sounds horrendous as Satoko in this series, and I don't think it's because she sounds like she's deep throating the mic. There's been no heart to her performance since the very beginning, and this episode just further cemented it for me she's not giving her all. It's kinda baffling to be honest. Unless she had some surgery ages ago or has an injury of sorts, her voice should not be this throaty and scratchy and her delivery shouldn't be as stilted as it is.

Weirdly lefty twitter is not nearly as upset about Redo of Healer as I'd expect them to be especially considering how much they spazzed over Shield Hero and since Redo is much more extreme.

Maybe they got distracted by Biden winning.
r/anime & MAL forums are doing that job right now
This is what too much Vodka does to one.

Thing is, it started as a masochist manga, based on the webtoon's theme. Tho the Japanese audiences didn't like it much & even the author felt like going to far. The anime may tone it down too, cause MC is basically harrassed in the starting chapters.

Mangaka made it look like so that MC looked more like a introverted guy, to which Nagatoro helped give confidence by lightly teasing him (again, mangaka had to tone it down). In CH.11, she basically offended on his behalf on her friends when they basically try to kill his self-esteem. Hell, they're practically dating in the manga rn.

I watched the first two episodes of Redo of Healer. It feels like it was written by an emotionally stunted manchild who is still seething over his high school crush dumping him for Chad. The author's painfully obvious seething hatred he has for whatever woman hurt his feelings is the only source of comedy as unintentional as it is. :story: That makes it kind of pointless to elaborate on the writing and world building, which to no surprise is pure Down's syndrome. I was originally tempted to say that I haven't seen such an excuse for a writing that is merely an autistic power fantasy by a virgin with rage since Sonichu, but from what I've seen so far, comparing Redo of Healer with Sonichu would be an insult and excessively disrespectful to Chris.

I guess this is where I can finally talk about some weird shit i've been watching!

As much as I love anime, I have a bad habit of not finishing main series and picking up some old and or weird ass shit that I enjoy.

So far I watched Golden Boy, a 6 ep OVA ecchi series about Kintaro Oe being a student of life and helping hot girls. Honesty this was probably my favorite OVA series I've watched and I am so sad there isn't more of it! (Might just try to find the manga ngl)

Wacky Nana TV which is about a 3 banana TV film crew trying to keep their show afloat amongst online streaming. Not gonna lie, while it's probably crap to a lot of people I had a good laugh watching how stupid it was.

Inferno Cop which is about a cop with a ghost rideresqe head who's trying to get vengeance for his dead family. I remember this one thing about a baby coming out of someone and the whole screen flooded with water or some shit, had me in tears.

Then just a few random animes I like I don't ever see people talk about are

Haven't you heard? I'm Sakamoto
Cromartie Highschool
Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor
Nanbaka
Welcome to demon school Iruma-kun
Nerima Daikon brothers
and Megalo Box.

I just enjoy recommending some off the beaten path anime that's kinda flown under the radar tbh.

Author's a female btw.

I have yet to watch Cromartie, but Iruma-kun is very underrated. Megalo was good too, but Ashita no Joe fans consider it more of rip-off, instead of the homage it is.

The Bullshittery of this is going much worse than you can think


Which doesn't really change the fact that Redo of Healer is Dave Cheung-tier garbage at best.

I wasn't able to find anything about the author. aniDB says Rui Tsukiyo is male, while the Kraut Wiki page says the gender is unknown.
She is a female, tho yeah, she mostly writes wholesome stories. In fact, this itself is getting a spin-off called Hospitality of the Healer.

Doesn't the male main character spend the first part of the story getting drugged up and assraped? I doubt that the author didn't write it without being at least a bit self-aware, unless they're into that lol.
