I’m like super late to this party but oh my God, that’s the one feel-good-manga from my youth I still keep in it’s German translation because I can’t find the Japanese anywhere. I used to regularly re read it whenever I was down… I think the last time was just a couple years ago so I can’t use that past tense, haha.
Did you continue/finish? I don’t think I ever saw the complete anime though I did watch it when I could catch it airing on German TV. I’d be interested to know how the anime holds up.
(Sorry if you posted about this recently, I haven’t finished reading all the posts yet.)
I have 3 more episodes. I’m actually planning on doing a whole write up so I’ll make sure you see it once I do
It seems to be deeply out of print. As far as I can tell there wasn’t an English translation (America and other English speaking countries were very late to the translated manga game, lol). I’m sad because I’d love to read it, even translated at this point.
I finished マリア様がみてる S1 | L27 and left with a much better impression than I started with. I still like わたゆり more, but at this point I’ll either continue the anime, the LN or both. It seems like the anime leaves out enough (internally and externally) that reading the LN will still be enjoyable.
Update: I finished & loved 義妹生活 S1 | L26 - there were one or two side character parts that got way too unrealistic, in the last few eps, but it was something I was willing to overlook. Overall, I really loved it, and I’m torn btwn continuing LN 1, or picking up with LN 5 (apparently there was Yuuta stuff cut from 3 & 4, in the anime). Probably I should do 5, so I’m less bored… tho 1 has the audiobook.
Watched the bonus interviews from Yuki Kajiura 2008 concert DVD. I could understand a lot, but not all of it. I’ll probly finish 時々ボソッとロシア語でデレる隣のアーリャさん S1 | L25 next, just for the easy watch, or BanG Dream! S2 | L21. Update: I finished バンドリ 2, and would describe it as just okay. Otherwise considering starting:
Since I never got around to watching them, during the season
The anime I most want to check out fall season is アオのハコ S1 | L30??, but my recent track record with watching anime has been abysmal, so I won’t be surprised if I don’t keep up or simply don’t even start it.
Apparently it’s going to be two cours, which is surprising but cool.
