Hey everybody! The post this week likely isn't going to show up on lemmy.world for a while (see here). So, this thread can be just the rest of us from smaller instances. We can say all the things about those world folks that we always wanted to say, but were too afraid to.

In all seriousness, this is the general discussion thread. Talk about what you have been watching, ask about what you should watch, warn others what not to watch...you get the idea.

As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers in this community, check the guide here (also linked in the sidebar).

Psst! Hey. You. Yes, you. Did you hear the news about lemmy.world? Rumor has it that lemmy.world users use light themes. That's right...dark text against a light background...like animals. If I wanted the internet to look like it was printed paper, I would just print out every web page and read it that way.

Anyway...

This past week I have been keeping up with a couple seasonal shows, catching up on a show from Winter, and then started an oldie with the SO. A couple highlights:

Level 2 Cheat Powers - The show revealed its true colors this week after a painfully generic opening episode. Looking forward to more with this show as the cast builds out.
Spice and Wolf - Economics: the anime this past week. A lesser show would have had a hard time keeping my interest with a storyline like this, but they have done a good job keeping it interesting and unpredictable.
Konosuba - We got to see some actual royalty this past week. Of course everything almost instantly goes off the rails. Really enjoying the return of this show.
Hokkaido Gals - Catching up on episodes from last season. Tbh, it feels like a bit of a slog, but I am almost done with the season. Just need to power through...
Trigun (1998) - I started watching this show with my wife. I have never watched Trigun before while she watched it way back in the day. So far, it has been way sillier than I had thought it would be. I have been laughing way more than I thought I would. However, it definitely feels like a product of its time though with some dated tropes and jokes.
