Notes on some of the series:

• The Idolmaster: FBI Honeypot Edition is apparently directed by the director of Mushoku Tensei.
• There's an hour-long special between the second season and third season of Dr. Stone. Haven't watched it myself yet so I'm not sure how vital to the plot it is.
• Dead Mount Death Play is based on a manga by the same writer as Durarara and Baccano (Ryougo Narita).
• Oshi no Ko is based on a manga by the same writer as Kaguya-sama.
• The Marginal Service is a new original anime by Studio 3Hz (which also made Flip Flappers and Princess Principal).

So if IM@S is a writeoff does that mean that the only thing on the entire list that's even passable as filler is maybe precure?

love me dr stone

I don't like that they made the Producer a manlet. It feels like a cowards decision to downplay the age difference.

>>1096
Or to make the character interactions more interesting. Arisu wouldn't be as skeptical of him and Risa would be less likely to taunt him if he was a chad.

>>1096
Very strange of them to include a male character at all. LoveLive fans rightfully protested when they were included in works that had males in them. I think they're right. Maybe the writer of this new anime doesn't understand idol culture.

>>1101
I don't think you understand im@s. It originated as a video game where (You) produce the idols. The male producer, as stand-in for the audience, is core to the im@s concept. It's not a coincidence that basically all im@s doujins are about the girls fucking Producer-san (i.e., you).

>>1097
Arisu would still have the fact that he was late and generally unprofessional to be skeptical of him and the producer being an ugly bastard hasn't stopped Risa from calling him a lolicon in H doujins. Also, I'm not saying he needs to be a replica of the 7 ft autist producer from the last CG anime, just that he should at least be an average 5'4" Jap adult male instead of having the appearance of a middle school student.

>>1102
Make no mistake, I understand IM@s but the producer is always faceless in those doujins. The anime gave him a face AND a personality AND a height. This makes it significantly harder for fans to self-insert.

looks like FUN is back on the menu

>>1107
You mean to say you're not a manlet who lets little girls walk all over you? Are you sure you're the target audience?

>>1108
Have only watched ep1 so far. Magical Destroyers has a lot of style, but the story itself seems completely nonsensical. Hope it makes more sense in later episodes, not a fan of style without substance.

Important information.

why hasnt ab put out the list of all show links this season yet its fucking infuriating

smack my bitch up

I was rewatching the first Cinderella Girls anime and it had some of the girls doing bungee jumping, also. Is throwing cute girls off a bridge typical in the idol industry?

from what i understand throwing them under a bus is more common

summer 2023 doesn't even deserve a thread, there's fucking nothing

I can't believe Kaguya-sama is a filthy slut.
