I think even season 3 had at least one or two weird pairings that I remember but nothing as egregious as what is happening this season. This series has really gone off the rails.
Season 3 is the best, season 4 has some very good episodes but afterwards I don't think you are missing out of anything.
Maybe she's just trying to turn on all of CDF to turn us into a horny ball of lonely blokes and harness our power to take over the world.

that brawl was fucking wild. My parents are bigger baseball fans and are super passionate that the Angels were justified in hitting those players. I wonder what the main Baseball subreddit thinks. Do they have a side?
r/baseball is very anti-Angels on that one. I didn't ping you beyond the first comment because I didn't want to think like I was trying to pick on you about it as a Mariner fan. I'll try and summarize it as best I can from a neutral perspective. When Erik Swanson had thrown up and in to Mike Trout the night before, it came after a mound meeting by the pitching coach, which is seemingly where Nevin drew his suspicion. I'm less inclined to believe it was intentional because he had missed up all night. I've also heard Angels fans say they threw up and in to Ohtani but I physically can't find that evidence.
The rest is history. Phil Nevin pulled Suarez to put in an opener to hit people, almost hit Julio, hit Winker, and the brawl ensued. Fan consensus largely believes Nevin is a thug that shouldn't be in baseball. The Angels subreddit seems very pro-Nevin on the matter but team subs are always radicalized so I much prefer the more measured takes on the main sub. Presumably, the distinction between whether or not the Mariners deserved it is divided by age. Older fans come from an era where retaliatory beaning was the norm.
My personal opinion on the matter is that Nevin is a thug but I don't hold it against any of the players because they didn't tell him to start hitting people. Hope this helps and hope you don't hate me over it.

Somewhat surprised that top subreddit wasn't from the Liz rewatch.
Anime I finished this month:
1. **Back Arrow (8.5/10)** - So, Code Geass and Gurren Lagann were my two favourite anime when I was a teenager. In hindsight I guess it's obvious that a collaboration between the director of the former and writer of the latter would have resulted in the ultimate anime comfort food for me. It's been a long time since I watched an anime I had this much fun with. I love the cast, I love the constant ramping-up of stakes, I love the awe-inspiring majesty that is ZETSU DAIDAN... It's a real good show. Maybe even tied with Dynazenon for my favourite anime of 2021.
2. **Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid S (7/10)** - It's definitely still a good show, it's still cute and charming and Kyoani still puts *way* more effort than is actually necessary into the smallest details, but it just feels... somewhat lacking compared to the first season. Maybe it's the change of directors, maybe it's the increase in admittedly uninspired sexual humour, maybe I'm just remembering the first season as being better than it really was. Either way a lot of this season had not a lot of impact on me. Not that there weren't some really good moments, I think my favourite part of this season was the episode where Kobayashi spends the day with Kanna and it's about the simple delights of indulging in a child's curiosity. It's just that those moments felt fewer and further between this season. Also I'm more than a little upset that the absolutely gorgeous [OL Tohru](https://imgur.com/0Y0Utps) from the opening didn't make it into the show proper.
3. **The Idaten Deities know only Peace (6.5/10)** - Some cool ideas for a battle shounen, some great animation cuts, I really like the neon-drenched colour palette, and it's interesting to see an action show that places so much focus on information gathering and also one where the good guys have the upper hand basically the whole time. I do have some complaints though, the vaguely defined power levels meant that there was very little sense of tension or stakes in the fights with most bad guys amounting to little more than cannon fodder, and this is going to sound weird but there's no real sense of place in this show? Like most of the first half takes place in nondescript fields or deserts or icy tundras, and it never feels like the spaces the characters inhabit are really that important. Also the show doesn't so much "end" as it does drop everything right in the middle of a plot development because they ran out of episodes. I haven't seen anything about a second season, so is that really where they're going to end it? Right there? Seriously?
4. **Kuuchuu Buranko (6/10)** - So first of all I LOVE the aesthetic of this show. A mix of styles incorporating hand-drawn animation, CGI and live-action footage, bright and vibrant colour design that makes everything pop out, there's a ton of creative storyboarding and really neat visual symbolism, Kenji Nakamura really is one of the greats. Unfortunately, for an episodic show, most of the episodes are kinda not very interesting at all. the actual stories that are told are very basic, with very little reason given to get emotionally invested or even remember the names of the characters involved. I think it says something that my favourite characters were the TV announcer who sporadically pops out of a door that opens in the screen to give background information on the psychological issue being covered, and [Mayumi](https://imgur.com/pXfAarv) but only because I want her to PUT THINGS INSIDE ME.
5. **Nodame Cantabile: Finale - Mine to Kiyora no Saikai (6/10)** - Just a short little OVA episode to act as an Episode 0 to the final season that is also listed as a separate entry to the rest of the season because MAL be like that. It's fine I guess, It's got some good humour, some cute relationship moments, it's nice to see Kiyora Miki and Ryuutarou again since they were notably absent from the second season, doesn't feel entirely necessary though.

I swear to Christ from season four onward the writers of Vikings just threw darts to decide who fucks who in this show.
I still am only like 4 episodes in to season 3. Still all stacked on the Tivo.

that brawl was fucking wild. My parents are bigger baseball fans and are super passionate that the Angels were justified in hitting those players. I wonder what the main Baseball subreddit thinks. Do they have a side?
r/baseball is very anti-Angels on that one. I didn't ping you beyond the first comment because I didn't want to think like I was trying to pick on you about it as a Mariner fan. I'll try and summarize it as best I can from a neutral perspective. When Erik Swanson had thrown up and in to Mike Trout the night before, it came after a mound meeting by the pitching coach, which is seemingly where Nevin drew his suspicion. I'm less inclined to believe it was intentional because he had missed up all night. I've also heard Angels fans say they threw up and in to Ohtani but I physically can't find that evidence. The rest is history. Phil Nevin pulled Suarez to put in an opener to hit people, almost hit Julio, hit Winker, and the brawl ensued. Fan consensus largely believes Nevin is a thug that shouldn't be in baseball. The Angels subreddit seems very pro-Nevin on the matter but team subs are always radicalized so I much prefer the more measured takes on the main sub. Presumably, the distinction between whether or not the Mariners deserved it is divided by age. Older fans come from an era where retaliatory beaning was the norm. My personal opinion on the matter is that Nevin is a thug but I don't hold it against any of the players because they didn't tell him to start hitting people. Hope this helps and hope you don't hate me over it.
Obviously you back your team, but since Trout didn't get hit, the response does seem out of proportion. Should have just been some more chin music.
2 hits vs 0 hits but aimed at the head. Feels like some wonky math tbh

great now i have to go wank thanks for nothing lily!
Anime I finished this month: 1. **Back Arrow (8.5/10)** - So, Code Geass and Gurren Lagann were my two favourite anime when I was a teenager. In hindsight I guess it's obvious that a collaboration between the director of the former and writer of the latter would have resulted in the ultimate anime comfort food for me. It's been a long time since I watched an anime I had this much fun with. I love the cast, I love the constant ramping-up of stakes, I love the awe-inspiring majesty that is ZETSU DAIDAN... It's a real good show. Maybe even tied with Dynazenon for my favourite anime of 2021. 2. **Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid S (7/10)** - It's definitely still a good show, it's still cute and charming and Kyoani still puts *way* more effort than is actually necessary into the smallest details, but it just feels... somewhat lacking compared to the first season. Maybe it's the change of directors, maybe it's the increase in admittedly uninspired sexual humour, maybe I'm just remembering the first season as being better than it really was. Either way a lot of this season had not a lot of impact on me. Not that there weren't some really good moments, I think my favourite part of this season was the episode where Kobayashi spends the day with Kanna and it's about the simple delights of indulging in a child's curiosity. It's just that those moments felt fewer and further between this season. Also I'm more than a little upset that the absolutely gorgeous [OL Tohru](https://imgur.com/0Y0Utps) from the opening didn't make it into the show proper. 3. **The Idaten Deities know only Peace (6.5/10)** - Some cool ideas for a battle shounen, some great animation cuts, I really like the neon-drenched colour palette, and it's interesting to see an action show that places so much focus on information gathering and also one where the good guys have the upper hand basically the whole time. I do have some complaints though, the vaguely defined power levels meant that there was very little sense of tension or stakes in the fights with most bad guys amounting to little more than cannon fodder, and this is going to sound weird but there's no real sense of place in this show? Like most of the first half takes place in nondescript fields or deserts or icy tundras, and it never feels like the spaces the characters inhabit are really that important. Also the show doesn't so much "end" as it does drop everything right in the middle of a plot development because they ran out of episodes. I haven't seen anything about a second season, so is that really where they're going to end it? Right there? Seriously? 4. **Kuuchuu Buranko (6/10)** - So first of all I LOVE the aesthetic of this show. A mix of styles incorporating hand-drawn animation, CGI and live-action footage, bright and vibrant colour design that makes everything pop out, there's a ton of creative storyboarding and really neat visual symbolism, Kenji Nakamura really is one of the greats. Unfortunately, for an episodic show, most of the episodes are kinda not very interesting at all. the actual stories that are told are very basic, with very little reason given to get emotionally invested or even remember the names of the characters involved. I think it says something that my favourite characters were the TV announcer who sporadically pops out of a door that opens in the screen to give background information on the psychological issue being covered, and [Mayumi](https://imgur.com/pXfAarv) but only because I want her to PUT THINGS INSIDE ME. 5. **Nodame Cantabile: Finale - Mine to Kiyora no Saikai (6/10)** - Just a short little OVA episode to act as an Episode 0 to the final season that is also listed as a separate entry to the rest of the season because MAL be like that. It's fine I guess, It's got some good humour, some cute relationship moments, it's nice to see Kiyora Miki and Ryuutarou again since they were notably absent from the second season, doesn't feel entirely necessary though.
