May I ask what use cases you experience that lead you to hate it? It only seems to be an "issue" when I'm on my phone in bed on my side, which is a bad habit to have, that this indirectly discourages.

It's probably the most accessible anime I openly recommend. It's well-animated,, strong visual identity, simple premise, unique setting for an anime, and an excellent adaptation of the comedy.

I emphasis the comedy and accessibility because, historically, anime has suffered from borderline cringey tropes/humour (fanservice, perverted humour, women sharing one personality, etc) which limits it's audience to a specific demo. SpyXFamily blends western aesthetics with clean humour all from the perspective of a realistic 5yo that sees the world wonderfully juxtaposed to an era of turmoil.

You may not love it but I feel confident recommending this as a gateway to other great slice of life animes (Like Skip & Loafer, Dungeon Meshi).

An animated kung-fu martial artist monkey

A super cop

A chinese native that travels overseas to America and teams up with either Owen Wilson or Chris Tucker look-a-likes to save another Chinese native, generally a young woman.

I really dislike being reductive so take what I say with a grain of salt:

I am not surprised that the people who regularly buy the COD series with all of it's monetary practices for the past decade are asking to buy a feature. They'd be more shocked if you could features/updates/qol without buying it. Habituation, de-sensitisation, whatever - they're the whales that fuel the decline in AAA games.

Oooh defs will check out - just been reading m+ for the convenience/regularity and staying up to date with OP and some other interesting shounens. Trying to catch up on my mangadex follows

Honestly, reminds of sessions where the DM didn't/couldn't test a new mechanic and shit goes sideways real fast.

Except AH has staff and literally thousands of potential play testers - they really need to get those playtests out and running.

Thanks for posting here! I just caught up yesterday.

The 180 head-hand turns are nasty - glad to be back on OPM

Just finished the 5 main endings of Nier Automata and enjoyed it! Wanted to see what the fuss was about (especially after seeing the meme about how doitsujin was motivated to develop DXVK to play it). Enjoyable time and I plan to get all the endings.

Next on my list is Mini Motorways and Alien Isolation :)
