    Watched Aharen-san wa hakarenai episode 1.

    I can see the comedy and I'd like to like this anime. But I got to say: Listening to TWO quiet/monotonous characters for 20 minutes just makes me feel nauseous. :/ This show would be be better imo if the guy talked normally, more cheerful. He's introduced with having had problems with others due to his mean look, but instead of mean look, they should have made him look "normally", but have him "talk in a mean way". Then it'd be way funnier to watch the contrast between someone speaking loud and "mean" and someone barely audible and shy.

    Will probably not continue this anime, even though I can see some goodness in it.

    PS Oh, also I cal BULLSHIT on Aharen just casually grabbing his arm while walking, and later on even sitting on his lap. It has been established over the course of decades that even just hand-holding is a big deal. This kind of closeness (and I'm aware that figuring out how close to be with others is okay is Aharen's theme) is just unrealistic and made it feel like we're going in the ecchi-anime department.

    It's JUST Komi Can't Communicate again, but not as good.

    I read the Aharen manga. I can't remember if the manga ended already or if I randomly stopped reading at some point. In fact, apart from the basic setting/characters, I barely remember anything much from the series. Nevertheless, I did read it considerably longer than Komi, which I dropped after just a few chapters.

    Aharen doesn't have a Najimi yet to carry the show.

    Ok, I read up on what's going on with Summer Time Render:

    Apparently, the anime is airing exclusively on Disney+ Japan, so not even Disney+ worldwide. That means there is not official sub as of yet and apparently Disney will take a little longer for that. Which means our best bet is to wait for good ol' fashioned fansubbing.

    Gunjou no Fanfare episode 1:

    I'll have to watch another episode before deciding to make a thread or not. Was actually quite fun to watch. I just had to laugh: The reason I gave this a try was because of Hiroyuki Sawano. So what scene did his music start playing? When the late guy caught Yu while falling, pink colors in the background, and him being hold like a bride. ROFL. Now I wonder whether this is a full-on yaoi show or not, but I'd watch it either way.

    I couldn't watch yaoi, or even mere shounen-ai. The closest thing I've ever watched was Kyou Kara Maou from 2004-6. And it was the kind of suggestive shounen-ai at best, where yaoi fans could imagine all kinds of relationships, even though they didn't really happen. Kind of like the Nanoha series for yuri. I know I've read a few short yuri manga over the years, but I can't really recall watching any anime. So, no thanks.

    Watched episode 2. This isn't yaoi, at least not by now. Right now, it's at worst the usual "cute boys doing cute boys things" that you see in many anime, including this season's badminton anime. Maybe it'll get worse, but I'm willing to find that out. ;>

    @nefligh: Since you seem to have watched all new anime: which of the ones you saw do you think are must-sees?

    Question goes to everyone, though. I could use one more anime, ideally some serious, non-episodic story. thx

    I can't speak for your taste, but the most quality-seeming series I've seen this season are Birdie-Wing, Spy x Family, and Healer Girl.

    To pad out what I'd call the second string: Yuusha, Yamemasu, Tomodachi Game, Koi wa Sekai Seifuku no Ato de, and Kono Healer Mendokusai.

    I'll stay away from Spy for now, might binge it later on.

    Bummer that there's nothing serious of quality.

    Why would you stay away from Spy X Family?

    If you want something "serious" just watch Kotaro Lives Alone. I don't know why you're hung up on the tone being "serious" when some of the most rewarding series I've been watching recently have been slice of life or dumbass harem series. Simplistic in premise but deeper than I expected them to be. Even more surprising was they were series I scoffed at from the previews.

    If anything, slice of life and comedy anime have been maturing at a considerable rate. It's long moved past "everyday life at a family restaurant" that end up being snorefests after they've worn out their welcome and "violent retribution for accidental infringement while being 'quirky'" that fit right in with 90s anime just weirder.

    It feels like you're limiting yourself. Comedic anime has been better than it has almost ever been.

    Slice of life can be fine if it's more serious like Hanasaku Iroha, but if it's more on the comedy side like Barakamon, I'm just not in the mood for it.

    I'll wait with Spy, because I'm not in the mood for the spy-theme, but I realize it's probably a high quality-anime, so I won't ignore it forever.

    The word you're looking for is "melodramatic" or if you want to be technical, not strictly coming-of-age, but Bildungsroman.

    Therefore, you should be watching Deaimon.
