Still not sure what the fuck APE really is though I initially thought they were AI but it still seems like they're humans, albeit immortal now? The latest ep did answer some questions but def not all of them, which is fine I suppose. In regards to APE, we still need more of a backstory and I hope we get it. In the flashback, they appeared out of nowhere in human history, as a collective, then started to direct humanity towards magma energy/immortality. | ||

It was just mildly annoying. What's that about the API? For smartphones or what? | ||

Disabling API means that you can't get/post data from/to the website's database in an official way. So 3rd party websites and applications that depend on MAL's API will probably not work for a while. | ||

Also MAL is just becoming worse and worse over time as a site imo (user experience) | ||

I'm in like a handful of Discords filled with people who have a "passion" for writings reviews on MAL. It's really fucking weird. To be fair, I've had a couple of anime that irked me so I can see why someone might make it their "life mission" to absolutely trash something lol. As for being passionate about reviews, well, I guess I can see that. It's a good platform to express your opinion though I'm sure there are some reviewers who have become extremely egotistical thinking they are right when it's all subjective anyways. Btw what part do you find is weird? Being passionate about reviews? Time put in by these reviewers? Making it their job to trash anime? | ||

I caught up with the new LotGH today and I'm not impressed with what the did to Erica. The rest was good though, I enjoyed myself. I think at this point it's certain to say that I won't be able to accustom to the new designs. They are just straight up horrible. -.-' | ||

I would probably do the same in that position. However, for me nothing is changing and it would be more of a hassle to move everything to another site. I mean you can export all your MAL data to a file and import it directly into anilist, so it's like a 2 minute process really Edit: And now the MAL site is down indefinitely too. Yeah, i'm happy to have moved sites. | ||

After all, I've been passionate about writing for TL for years now. I could be mistaken but isn't MAL one of the bigger anime sites out there for english folks? They would be the TL equivalent in that case. As for LoGH, I've made peace with some of the designs but Julian and Cazellnu's designs are just so different :/ | ||

Designs aside though, I'm actually really impressed at how faithful its being to the original and the novels. There were more than a few scenes last episode where the script felt like it was 1:1 transplated from the original OVA | ||

Yes, it's actually been an enjoyable watch and the CGI seems to be well done plus the OP is just fantastic. I thought there was more that took place during + Show Spoiler + the infiltration of Iserlohn but I could be wrong edit: ended up finishing giant killing and gokinjo monogatari. Fun watches overall though I wish gokinjo monogatari was a bit more I dunno, serious? It felt like there was some decent progress but the pacing was rather slow. They could've probably wrapped things up in 3 cours if that existed at the time: + Show Spoiler + The whole Mariko and Yuusuke back and forth relationship also was a bit annoying. It also just felt bad that Ayumi was there and would've treated him so well yet he never took notice so she had to suppress her feelings while trying to put up with Mariko who was acting terribly almost the last quarter of the anime. Still, at least things worked out in the end so guess I can't complain much. As for giant killing, I also think they ended it as best as they could. It was great to see that there are several soccer or football anime out there. | ||

The new one stuck pretty close to the novel's version of events | ||
