I didn't watch Sousou no Frieren nor I plan to but I agree that the character design is terrible, I saw people comparing this anime to Kusuriya no Hitorigoto on mal and saying that the elf girl is cuter than Maomao, but she is just generic loli? (I haven't thought before that the reason was bc of otakus with weird loli fetishes LOL). Also her face is so round, so round it's almost looks like the moon, why?

I also agree with not liking this short elf trend, because I like seeing tall girls in media which is rare in anime but elfs are supposed to be tall. Though not ridiculous tall Deedlit and Pirotess from Lodoss have a better design. Btw I may be biased bc I love Kusuriya, and the way I found this anime was comparing the two FL, but I think that anyway the elf girl is ugly and weird, Maomao is prettier.

yeah kusuriya has better looking characters for sure. I think the frieren mangaka draws the faces better though, they don't look as round. and yea lodoss is great when it comes to elves, not perfect with the height but still very pretty elf portrayal.

and true, maomao is adorable! i do have some complaints about her freckles, she totally shouldve just had them naturally... i hate this fear of portraying female protags with traits that are considered ugly in their respective settings

I liked Slaughterhouse V in high school, I can't tell you how well it holds up (could be scrotey...) but it's interesting from a meta standpoint and fairly decent for a black comedy about WWII. I haven't read anything else by Vonnegut but your review's got me intrigued!! I'll add Sirens of Titan to my list

Yeah sirens of titan has like.. I think exactly 2 or 3 eyebrow raising moments somewhere in the beginning but they're nothing in the vein of breasts breasting boobily so I kind of went past it lmao

I read BL Metamorphosis the other day and just the synopsis alone made me think "Cabbage needs to see this." I'm so glad you've already read it!! It really was a comfy yet poignant story. I'll keep an eye out for anything else you might like.

ahh im so happy you thought of me when reading that ;__; it really was so cute and touching. please do!!!

I failed my driving test the first time too. I went 33 in a 30 lol. It took me five or six months to get that appt so I get you. Except for 200 euros that's crazy. Here you pay like $10 & get like 3 tries, no mandatory classes.

God that's so cheap... I had to do like 40 something classes in total (25 euros each...) not to mention the costs for the health exam, the theory exam and the first aid exam + classes for those. i think we have one of the most expensive licenses compared to an average income

and omg 33 in a 30 wow cant believe thats a fail... my examiner was pushing me to do 70kmh in a 50 zone lmao

I still drive without a license, I should get one

No literally. My dad yelled at the examiners right before I took the test so I think that's part of why they failed me ;-; I think the reason it's so cheap here is because there's no public transport & you really can't get around without a car :/ Congrats on the license nonetheless!

@ongezell damn that would be near impossible in my region specifically.. were pretty infamous for having too much police on the roads

@vashti ahh they probably took it out on you then, that really sucks. yeah it makes sense, having a license is absolutely a necessity for you!! and thank you :DD

Congrats on the license lol. I'm 14 so cant legally get one, tho i'll probably put it off as long as possible since im not a huge fan of cars in general (driving is a bit fun and ive done it in very small areas, but i dont like the idea of how easily shit can go wrong unlike walking usually).

Thanks!! True, driving a massive vehicle is a scary thought ngl, it also kind of kept me from getting a license at earlier times when I had the money for it technically
