The Lyncher

Fair. I haven't read the manga, but again my thing is with the story itself. It just isn't believable. I do think the anime accentuates the shounen cartoon-ish characteristics to an extreme degree. OH COME THE FUCK ON. It isn't even the best show this season. The plot makes 0 sense. Its like they pulled everything about good about madoka and cut it out. I don't hate wonder egg. I'm watching it. But every week I am left with a WTF did I just watch?

Having caught up on Higurashi (meaning the current season only), I have a whole new found appreciation for why this season was such aa shock to fans out of nowhere. The last few episodes finally provided the context that was soreely needed to viewers that had not seen the previous seasons. To that end, I think the author and directors did a good job of giving ols fans something new while also providing new fans with the original experience, which, needless to say, is difficult to execute. The show itself to me is not all that impressive, but the execution is nonetheless. Should definitely get consideration for something at AOTY 2021 (directing, original story, whatever you want to call it)

Always in need of recs. I'll check Rakugo out. I have a feeling the bolded is what you like more so than the show/story itself. Idk Jujutsu Kaisan just seems so generic to me. There is nothing about the atmosphere or world-building that stands out to me. If I had to choose one aspect that is lacking in particular, it is that nothing is defined.I keep harping on it, but the hallmark of good world-building to me is establishing a very defined ruleset and limitations for the characters from the beginning and committing to it throughout. By doing so, the characters and their actions become even more impressive because they have to suffer the consequences of these limitations and impress the viewer by working within the rules to overcome them. That is how you create a suspension of disbelief and staying power.Death Note is probably one of the best examples of this principle, but almost every great show has it. Jutjutsu Kaisan has rules, but flagrantly disregards them as is convenient for the author. It is the same with the "consequences," which have little to no weight whatsoever. Deal with Sakuna is the perfect example. My feeling on it is that if neither the author nor the characters seem like they give a fuck about the consequences, why should I?

Sakuga simp confirmed (not that we didn't already know that). I hope the 2nd cour is better than the first. Really feel jujutsu is massively overhyped. Your friend is going to live until the end of time?

I wanted to start this, but then we got the reboot which is just so much nicer looking. May still watch, but its a huge investment I've heard good things, but slice of life doesn't really do it fo me (he says after just watching Rent-A-Girlfriend) As for what I'm watching Carryovers: Black Clover - The new wave Jujutsu Kaisen - Seems overrated as fuck. Very disappointed. Higarashi - Feel like I will need to rewatch it to appreciate it. Rwby - Poking the show begging for it to actually do something this season S-Tier Re:Zero - If Part 2 lives up to the hype of Part 1, then it will be anime of the year - And I am saying this with A NEW CODE GEASS ANIME and 86 (who's soundtrack is authored by the hypegod Hiroyuki Sawano) on tap for Spring 2021. I hated Re;Zero Season 1, but Season 2 is like a completely different anime. Beastars Season 2- I don't know why I enjoyed Season 1, but if it can match it, we have a contender for AOTY. A-Tier Attack On Titan - I feel like this is getting overhyped. Don't get me wrong, its good, but its not the god tier people are making it out to be. Feel like it has no chance of beating out the above. Promised Neverland - See above. Season 1 was okay. Slime Season 2 - I want it to be good, but I am seriously fearing it will get repetitive and lose its charm. Dr. Stone S2 - Feel the same way about Dr. Stone that I do about Slime Season 2. Let's see where it goes. B-Tier 2:43 Sein HS Volleyball Club - What if Kageyama from Haikyuu met Hinata one year later? Stay Tuned for the result Next Time on Edgelord Volleyball Fantasy 2:43 Watchlist/Catch-up Queue Empty - The pandemic has really given me more time than I thought so I am open to suggestions.

@MalcolmWatched Chihayafuru and am caught up. I can see why you like it. It's very pretty. and charming, if not a tad trite.

I'm down for Round 2, altho I barely remember Gridman.

Agreed. I think I know where this arc is going and it's being really well-done if I am right. Honestly, its been this best show this season and it has not been close.

This is going to run, It will have 12 people. Rules and roster requirements will be standard for a normal ppr league for the most part (may tweak a few things to account for COVID-19 but nothing wild)

Agreed Requesting Ban

What client do you want to use? Sleeper? Yahoo? Etc????

Policy will be refund if the season gets cancelled do to covid Wil do COVID IR spots rather than expanding bench to prevent hoarding

@BuildTheWalia - In @Gospel @Joe. In @Broken Brilliance @slickz - Tentatively In @Silver - In Any interest?

It is a small but solid selection. More continuations than new stuff. Havent seen it

Town Killer Tyranno strikes again!!!
