  • cutest

    My time has come.

    Hahari heart-eyes

    I’ve got too many of them so I’ll just mention a small subset.

    First up would be (mostly) animals on my AniList profile.

    Some of the more prominent ones are:

    • lactic acid bacteria from Cells at Work!
    • Chomusuke from Konosuba
    • Chikuwa from Yuru Camp

    (Too lazy to add their pics + you can click on the link)


    That’s not to say humans (and humanoids) - mostly children - can’t be cute. I usually find them cute not just for their looks, but also their behaviour. If they are too naughty or bratty, they are out.

    The ones whom I find cutest are:

    platelets from Cells at Work!

    Dou from The Demon King’s Daughter is Too Kind

    Anya from Spy x Family

    No longer smaller children - probably teenagers - but are still cute:

    Shamiko from The Demon Girl Next Door

    Haru Urara from Umamusume

    When we talk about cuteness, its hard to ignore big franchises like Pokemon. There are too many to list, so I will just give a shoutout to my top favourites:

    Lilligant

    and Minccino

    My toppest, most-favouritest of all time in terms of cuteness is still from Digimon: Patamon!

  • Past Seasons

    I made it halfway through Trigun Stampede. It is certainly well-produced and the plot isn’t too boring.

    Unfortunately for it, I got distracted by Pokemon: Horizons. It’s just a kids show with a simplistic plot, with the most protagonistic protagonist to ever protag, but I can’t stop watching it.

    Am I the heroine in some story?!

    (Liko has got to be one of the biggest nepo baby ever. In most other shows, they would give the MC some semblance of humble beginnings. Liko meanwhile

    first few episodes spoiler

    enrolled into an elite school that provided her with rare starter pokemons. She received a heirloom with magical properties that respond only to her. When the antagonists targeted her, “bodyguards” bankrolled by her mother came to her rescue. It was later revealed that her family lives in a mansion. Her family clearly is well-to-do despite just traveling around (her gran) or painting (her dad). I can only guess that they are of old money.

    Everyone was handed to her on a silver platter. The rest of the crew has to earn their keep - IMO Dot and Orio contributed the most - but Liko is just there. Having said all that, Liko is a very sweet girl so she gets a pass from me.)

    I can’t help but compare it to Digimon Beatbreak (which I don’t think is bad by any means) since these are similar anime aimed at little kids, but somehow Pokemon is the one that drew me in. In fact, I watched more of Digimon as a kid. Perhaps the Digimons’ ability to speak made them appear less cute to me now. (Edit: I realised I valued the cool factor more as a kid. Now that I am older I prefer something cute, and Pokemons are cuter.)

    Speaking of cuteness, some of these latest-gen pokemons are simply heart-melting.

    Rockruff, Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Pawmo

    My favourite has to be Liko’s Sprigatito. I think the studio did a fantastic job pairing Liko with her partner. They just look so cute together.

    I'll squeeze your paw pads!

    I am only one-third of the way through but I heard that it gets even better in later episodes.

    P.S. The way Liko carries Sprigatito around is too adorable. I love it.

    P.P.S. Cap has got to be the MVP here. His back must be breaking from carrying the rest of them so hard in battles.

  • If I were a Gnosia and there’s a doctor onboard, I’d totally claim to be an engineer and betray one of my teammates. That’s an easy way to get at least one human on my side.

    Also, it looks like the amnesiac premise is conveniently being ignored for quite a number of episodes. I bet that Yuri’s amnesia is going to be relevant to the plot later, probably as part of a big reveal.
