Everybody's pager went off in celebration!

I don't have a solution for you, but I will be watching this thread. Currently, I use Sonarr for library organization, but it doesn't always work well with anime due to title differences and differences between how seasons/specials are numbered in different databases. So, Shoko was on my radar to try out at some point since it uses anidb.

I used to have my docker updates done automatically. However, as the services I used to run just for myself have started to be used by other people (family, friends), I am less tolerant of having things break. So, instead of something like watchtower, I run diun these days. I have it set up to ping me in a discord channel when a docker update is available. Then, I can actually perform the update when I have time and attention to troubleshoot any issues that may come up.

My house has a similar issue with a lower level that is perpetually much colder than the upper level. The main way we have somewhat alleviated the problem is by opening/closing registers. In the summer, we close all the registers in the lower level, forcing all the cold air from the HVAC into the upper level, then letting it sink down naturally. Our lower level is still cooler, but it isn't as stark a difference. Due to the layout of the stairs linking the two levels, a fan is not terribly effective at exchanging a lot of air between the two on its own.

As for whether he forgives Morrissey, Carroll said: “I guess I would have to say yes in the spirit of forgiveness, reluctantly. But if I had to be a smartass, I’d say her apology holds about as much water as my canvas bag.”

Fantastic.

They really got expressive with Hiiragi's art this chapter. I don't think any of her friends are even really that surprised by the revelation that she likes Taiyou. However, I didn't see Taiyou being arranged a marriage coming. It feels a bit archaic these days, even in manga.

The thread wasn't made for this one because there weren't any comments on the episode 3 thread. Then, a user requested that rikka make a thread for this episode via pm today. I don't know why they haven't then commented in the thread here, but that is why it was just posted today rather than when it aired.

Yep, that was great. I would have loved for this series to continue on, but the ending was satisfying. I would rather the author end it like this than drag something out for the sake of keeping a popular series going. Hopefully we get a couple bonus chapters when the tankoubon come out.

Alright, I couldn't see this post from ani.social yet, so I duplicated it. The good news is that things are catching up again, but it is still about 8 hours behind world. Here is the comment I had originally made on my post:

The author definitely knows what they are doing when you see dialog like this...

I haven't seen this one, but the review definitely makes me interested. I am a total sucker for a well-done romance. Back when the show came out (2007) that was absolutely not the case, so I had skipped it. Might have to go back and check it out.

BTW, I see you crossposted a bunch of different communities. This would also fit right in on !anime@ani.social, so feel free to add that one to your list.

This community used to be much more active, but there was a large exodus of the most active users after some far-reaching admin interventions (like this one) that saw a mod get removed from this community and the episode discussion bot unable to post here any longer. A lot of the activity has moved to a different instance/community. The reason people aren't linking it directly is because admins have previously removed any comments/posts that link to it (including over two months of the pinned weekly discussion threads). It shows up on lemmy community browsers like lemmy-explorer though.

The only Spanish-speaking community I know of is !anime_es@ani.social but it is new and only has a couple posts. I just know of it because I mod other communities on the instance. I recognize you as somebody that has been active in the anime/manga communities elsewhere, so I thought you might find it relevant.

I remember reading similar issues where a user got mentioned or a message from another user that was blocked, but it still shows up as a notification in the icon. Similarly, if you don't show bots, it could be that a bot replied to one of your comments and you can't see it.

I'll repost what I said in another thread. Like OP, I am glad that this is getting made. It is not something you typically see in anime/manga and a diversity of options in media is a great thing.

I had read a portion of the manga a while back. I didn't think this manga provided anything novel enough to keep my interest, but for a certain segment of the population, the art was exactly what they are looking for. So, if you are a big fan of the teaser visual, expect basically an anime with fan service about women that look like that.

This series is like the anti-How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift. It revolves around an elf that finds human food, specifically french fries, so delicious that she just can't stop eating them and, despite the male lead's best efforts, is unable to lose weight. There is a veritable smorgasbord of female characters built similarly to the elf from the visual in this series in what is likely the highest average BMI harem in manga. I call it a harem, but in what I read at least, there aren't really any romance elements, more just friendship, slice of life, and nutritional counseling.

I wrote a little bit about it a while back when I posted a clip for Thanksgiving. Overall, it is a piece of lighthearted fun that was perfect for watching an episode before bed. It also tried to be educational about how to properly work out, while at the same time using those educational segments as an excuse to include a bit of ecchi.

I will paste what I answered in a similar thread from !anime@ani.social a little while back that might be of interest to you:

I usually watch an OP once for a show and then skip it each time afterwards. That being said, there are a handful that I remember making the choice to always watch each episode. In no particular order:

• (NSFW) B Chiku Sentai SOX - "SHIMONETA: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn’t Exist" - I always laughed at the visuals of this more than anything. This show was wild.
• Onegai Muscle - "How Heavy Are The Dumbbells You Lift?"
• Idol - "Oshi no Ko"
• Zeitaku na Saji - "Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Skill"
• GO!!! - "Naruto"

Edit: seems to have resolved after a couple minutes.

OP here on my lemmy.world account. I happened to notice that lemmy.world hasn't been very responsive so I checked the post on this instance. I have edited in more images on the original post, but those edits have not federated over. So, go check out the post on the ani.social instance for an up to date list.

I haven't watched either of those shows, and I can't really say that it is the genre I usually consume, but wanted to mention that you might get more answers on either !anime@ani.social or !anime@lemmy.ml.

As for thrillers I have seen or heard good things about, perhaps Death Note (if you haven't seen it yet)? I haven't seen this one, but I have heard good things about Psycho-Pass as well which seems to have some similar themes based on the synopses.

They refederated a couple hours ago (source). @antik@lemmy.world made a post clarifying things over in the meta thread on ani.social's site and cleared things up.

I understand people's frustrations with seemingly arbitrary moderation decisions like this sometimes, but I wouldn't want to be in their shoes making calls like that for a large instance like this. It is heartening to see that the review process did not take long and the decision reversed fairly quickly (<12 hours). This stands in contrast to the lemmy.ml admins that defederated ani.social for seemingly no reason and locked all discussion about it and it still stands. So, props to antik and LW admins on this one.
