    Feb 2025 simulwatch voting thread

    I would be entirely guided by @Dai on the magical girl genre, and if anything haven't seen most of the older shows. Hence I thought it would be very interesting to get a taste of how the genre has developed going back to its roots.

    I'm watching this now as well since netflix nabbed it, and I had literally only just signed up to hidive😂 primarily for this show, just as netflix nick all their titles. I have to actively hold myself back to stretch it out (have 2 episodes left)! Look forward to rewatching as soon as season 3...

    Apologies again, and Feb is perfectly fine for me to start.

    Feb 2025 simulwatch voting thread

    Apologies for being MIA, it's been a horrid week. Thanks for putting this up @Dai and @Professor Irony. I voted for danseur but changed for my second choice after seeing that being favoured and it certainly sounds a very interesting alternative style of simulwatch. Looking forward to it!

    UK Anime Christmas Sales for 2024 [Anime Ltd's 12 Days of Xmas + More]

    For what it's worth I'm still waiting for my Nadia and mystery box sets, but then I did have in there some crunchyroll pre-orders with the last one due for release in Feb so I'm guessing they will be posting them all out together once the final pre-order releases.

    Simulwatch Planning Thread - Suggest & Discuss

    I'd agree with one a month for ~12 episodes or so, as it gives people time to catch up from busier days/weeks. Whoever can be most bothered, or is most knowledgeable or excited about the chosen one can set up the thread I guess? Or we take turns? I'm yet to set one up, and never did get around...

    Heheh and now I remember why I added it to my watchlist! I'm actually watching this currently after having kept it on my watch list for far too long! Perfectly happy to hold off or restart for a simulwatch. Sounds interesting, would be very happy to give this format a go. I was still looking...

    The Q & A Thread (for questions that do not need a thread)

    Indeed, I always enjoy and appreciate it when we get anime doing more adult characters as well, but ultimately we all want to relive our childhoods so fair enough😂. Despite having an idea from its synopsis, I utterly adored for the curveball it threw within the first few minutes in this regard.

    An Angel Passing By: Haibane Renmei Simulwatch - ep 05 29/12

    Very interesting thoughts and thanks for sharing the link, I was thinking I need to ask you for your website recommendations to look into the lore further as I was reading your post! The dreams certainly seem to have a very influential role in their existence, being the background and the door...

    The Q & A Thread (for questions that do not need a thread)

    I'd recommend Horimiya, My Teen Romantic Comedy Snafu, Toradora, Golden Time, The Pet Girl of Sakuraso, Teasing Master Takagi San. I've got that on my list to watch so would definitely up for simulwatching that.

    An Angel Passing By: Haibane Renmei Simulwatch - ep 05 29/12

    Episode 13 A lovely way to end a lovely little gem of a show examining themes around redemption through the lense of SOL, and at times psychological horror. In the end, Reki's main test was to open her heart again to trust others enough to be able to ask for much needed help. Both Rakka and...

    An Angel Passing By: Haibane Renmei Simulwatch - ep 05 29/12

    Episode 12 Fireworks and reconciliation. Wasn't expecting a fireworks episode in this show but the tolling bells at the year's end celebration brought a very peaceful vibe to the town. The distribution of presents by the Haibane, in silence, to the humans that had nurtured them over the year...

    An Angel Passing By: Haibane Renmei Simulwatch - ep 05 29/12

    Episodes 10 & 11 Watched 10 a few days back but kept forgetting to comment on it so decided to do together with 11 as I suspect I'll get bits of the next episode mixed in. I really enjoyed the first part of Reki's backstory and how she eventually bonded with Nemu. Haibane dude tells Reki...

    An Angel Passing By: Haibane Renmei Simulwatch - ep 05 29/12

    Episode 9 Rakka's insight into her cocoon dream seems to be helping her overcome her guilt over her previous nihilistic emotions and actions (like you had surmised @D1tchd1gger ), as a result of which a supportive loved one suffered. Her admission of this got Haibane-communicator-dude very...

    An Angel Passing By: Haibane Renmei Simulwatch - ep 05 29/12

    That's true and I felt that it was partially down to her trying to put on a brave face, but probably more related to a loss of affect and the blunting of emotions experienced in depression.
