For me it was Alice in Wonderland (2010). I really enjoyed the whole "I do six impossible things before breakfast" thing. I was also really drunk when I watched it.

I like The Core but omg it's objectively terrible. "Unobtanium" is just a buckyball. The random kid drawing in the notebook just for heartstrings. Them welding power connectors right next to each other on the hull so that even IF their nonsense theory was correct they'd only be 0.01% efficient. Oh, and if the core stopped spinning it wouldn't get the planet roasted anyway.

But hey, it's a B movie so I give it some slack.

Lena x Shin hits even harder because they never see each other until the very final episode. Witch from Mercury is on my watchlist so I'll have to give it a go.

Most of the episode just explains Koga's tragic backstory and it still somehow fails to make Koga interesting.

The best part of the whole episode is seeing the back-stabbing mayor get his arm cut off.

I feel kinda silly for making this counter now

I mean, with how the season started it felt like it was going to be a death fest! Now it feels like so much progress has happened he's unlikely to die again, at least not before hitting another save point. I mean, we even have Otto making good moves and if Otto is winning then that's clearly the "correct" route ^_^

[Dragon blood] even grew back the bandages and his shoe somehow!

I actually had to go back to the previous episode just to make sure I didn't miss something.

Priscilla being an insane badass was really cool to watch too. Like yes, she's stuck-up and intolerable, but she has the skills to back it all up.

I think I would agree with you. The other big name seems to be Kill La Kill and while I agree that it's a great revenge anime, Oshi No Ko nails the subtleties of revenge. It's way more nuanced and realistic.

I figured it was only a matter of time. This series has been utterly amazing and there's plenty more source material to draw upon.

This is the anime I use to introduce non-anime watchers to anime. Your Name is very good.

My favorite romance anime is My Dress-up Darling. I could watch it on repeat.

We're starting to see some more of Liz's true colors. She comes off as exceptionally self-righteous and almost villainous herself. Even after she almost gets Alicia killed and gets the prince stabbed she's unrepentant.

The prince taking Alicia's side and going against Liz was pretty epic though and obviously something Liz was not expecting. I'm further led to believe that Liz has knowledge of the game just like Alicia.

This would also be cute if we weren't constantly reminded that Alice is only 13...

And while Alicia doesn't get to act the Villainess since the Prince and King already reprimanded the perpetrators, this was a good look for her.

At the end we learn that Liz controls all elements at levels over 80. Considering that her mana went out of control when she was practicing for her talent show I find this curious. It makes me wonder if she didn't fake the incident to paint Alicia to be the bad guy.

Hands you a beer

I get what you're saying but the forgetful customer is explicitly what they said they want, which is dumb any way you look at it. Many times you're forced into signing up for subscription, or coerced under the guise of a free trial. Now this wouldn't be as bad if they came back and were like, "hey we see you haven't used our service in a while, do you still need it?" rather than just leeching money from the user. The system is designed to purposely allow the user to make these errors and that's wrong any way you want to shape it.
