Hi everybody! Here comes another weekly general thread! A metaphorical dumping ground for all your questions, comments, musings, ponderings, quandries, dilemmas, issues, hangups, or thoughts pertaining to anime! Of course the list is non-inclusive. A couple example posts could be:
- Any news on a season 2 for Inukai-san's Dog? Looking forward to it!
- Wouldn't it make more sense if VRMMO-based anime were fully 3DCG? The games would be computer graphics after all...
- I was on the treadmill at the gym the other day testing things out and holding my arms back like they do in Naruto didn't help my pace at all. Does anybody else have experience with this?

I think that is actually a totally fair way to look at the show. The moral implications of Kotaro's actions are immense and dark. Also, the way he more or less threatens them with society's reaction to zombies in order to become idols is extremely manipulative. I can totally understand why those aspects of the show would turn somebody off from watching.
For me, I have been enjoying the show after basically accepting those bits as the needed bits to establish the premise and then moving on. Namely, the premise of a group of zombie girls becoming idols. After the first couple episodes, they aren't really brought up any more and the girls are all acting of their own will. They are even capable of doing the makeup on their own without Kotaro by the time you reach season 2.
I don't have too much time to craft my usual tome of a comment this week, so I will keep it short. Quick hot-takes on a couple shows I watched during the past week:
- Eminence in Shadow: Return to form after fanservice break
- Frieren: BRB, dead after getting hit by Frieren's flirting
- 100GF: Next episode is gonna be wild for anime-onlies
- Zombie Land Saga Season 2: Yep, still good. Hasn't lost a step from season 1
@ram@lemmy.ca, if you would be so kind as to do the pin/unpin shuffle like normal, that would be much appreciated.
