RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Finished watching The Mighty Nein (Amazon streaming series, American adult cartoon). One season, 8 episodes.
Started or at least continued watching Dandadan (Japanese anime). Watching the second season. Watched the first when it was new (after it got translated to English, at least). I'll watch anime in Japanese if I'm in a hurry to see it or something, but if it's any good, it'll get translated anyway. And then it gets voiced by theatre nerds you can actually meet IRL, and they're mostly cool people. Some of them even get together in their spare time, play D&D, make a successful podcast out of it, and then make The Mighty Nein. (Critical Role stars Travis Willingham and Laura Bailey met while voicing Roy Mustang and Lust, respectively, in the English translation of Fullmetal Alchemist over 20 years ago, and are married now. Series creator Matt Mercer is also big in voice work. Most of them do video games as well as anime translations.)
How did you like nein? I started the first episode but I was just not in the mood for a show that wants to start in media res and not explain itself and have not bothered going back.
