Happy Kamiina Botan Friday to those who celebrate This show has my heart in a chokehold and I've been loving this little tradition of getting drunk on Fridays to catch the new episode

And in a show that cares so much about flowers and their meanings, we also get a lot of beautiful shots of seasonal flowers echoing the girls' feelings (if Botan is a peony, then Gujo is geraniums)

Hipólita @hipolita.itch.io · 02/05/2026

likewise, many of these shots especially those involving Gujo-san are framed as if we the audience are peeking and intruding into something private and personal, which makes sense considering how Gujo's complicated feelings (jealousy? feeling ignored?) take center stage

Kamiina Botan #04 makes excellent use of 間ma, negative space. While the script has uncharacteristically (for anime) frequent and long silence, the storyboard focuses heavily on characters appearing vivisected, bifurcated or narrowly framed in dozens of shots.

Gin-san, who key animated Kamiina Botan el 03, also did episode 4 of the delightful mono (manga by the same author as Yuru Camp) and his sketchy wobbly style was in full display there too

I just looked up who this character is and sorry but OP is right, this character absolutely does have Sex With Females.

btw if you're watching Iwajima Hyakkei, the staff is updating a relationship chart to help you keep everything straight across the various timeskips, flashbacks and stuff. It's even separated by episodes if you want to avoid spoilers! awajima-anime.com/story/03.html

BOY DOES SHE. It's a very Monogatarish episode

Hipólita @hipolita.itch.io · 25/04/2026

Having no chief animation director, Kamiina Botan lets each episode's key animator (this week: obvious SHAFT fanboy Gin-san) express their self-indulgent creativity, their individuality and their unique quirks and idiosyncracies. What a beautiful show.

Fugo as solo key animator in episode 2 means we get blessed with extremely creative compositions and angles as well as soft colors and lots of things expressed with subtle head and neck movements.

Part of loving and supporting JP-EN localization efforts and the difficult task of conveying information, character and personality to as wide an audience as possible also involves calling out when a loc choice just Sucks Ass.

A still from Jigokuraku. Yuzuriha is closing her eyes and sighing at Sagiri, and the subtitles read "Oh, you sweet, summer child."

I take issue with the term "sealioning" because in the original comic the sea lion is absolutely in the right. Leave my man be.

The whiplash I got reminded me of this iconic fb interaction (alt text added)

Facebook post where one user posts: "Why do all these girls shave half their head like it's fucking cute". There's a "View 124 previous replies" banner and then below it the latest comment in the thread: "And if you read Lenin, maybe you could make actual argum..."

I'm gathering that whatever this is mostly runs on this logic

Variation on the "who needs their pussy ate?/OMG me" meme where the man asking the question is a screwdriver and the tradwife wojak is shaped exactly like the demon core

lmao OP is melting down over it with that "authoritarian chic" comment and it just reminds me of American media losing their minds over Kim Yo-jong's appearance at the winter olympics, where she accidentally got the coolest nickname anyone's ever gotten

and they never, not once, discussed the licking again

A panel from the manga Jigokuraku. Sagiri, covered in goop, says "We've wrapped ourselves in bandages... and coated ourselves in Yuzuriha's erm, fluid. *Is the licking really necessary?*".

Yuzuriha, licking Sagiri's goopy arm, replies "Nope."

This is actually kinda nice to see. I've loved Nioh since day one and it's great to see what was a relatively niche title grow into itself and become really, really popular while never betraying what made it special and unique in the first place.

One Turn Kill, a deckbuilder with the twist that you have to win on your first turn. Most cards have drawing more cards as a "cost" and if your deck runs out you lose. Incredibly fuckin stylish.
