Lame. :/ Guess I'm changing my review then.

Last time a similar question was asked, I responded with Perfect Blue, The End of Evangelion, and Love & Pop.
So this time, I'm going to suggest Sans Soleil.
Three Days of Happiness which is actually the light novel title. The manga adaptation title is "I sold my life for ten thousand yen per year" but I like the LN title more. I recommend reading the author's afterword in the LN if you finished the manga.
I also like The Flowers of Evil.
Minor Re:Zero spoilers
Emilia thought she'd become pregnant after being kissed by Subaru. She's the sheltered, innocent, pure type of character.
As for the scene in the meme above, I'm not sure as I haven't seen the new season yet.
Persona series, maybe. The entire franchise is all about making friends, deepening relationships, and working together to fight monsters.
I saw somebody here recommend Kenshi, so I'm going to recommend RimWorld as well. It's a colony building game, but it's kind of anxiety-inducing lol
Maybe a small condenser microphone. The Samson Go is a bit old (not that consumer-grade microphone tech has changed much) but it's small and just plugs into a laptop with a USB port. There are probably newer small models that do a better job and I'm not aware of its existence.
I suspect a conferencing type product will have the same issue since it’s made to record sound coming from like two feet away from the mic
This is the case with dynamic microphones (the microphones typically used for live events), but condenser microphones are usually very sensitive and will pick up almost every bit of noise with enough gain.
I’ve seen like giant fuzzy mics used on movie sets - should I look for something like that?
These are condenser shotgun microphones. The ones used in movie sets use XLR and need some kind of audio recorder (you'll be carrying a lot of stuff with you). There are small ones that use 3.5mm connectors though (usually made for cameras). You need to have this pointed at the sound source at all times (hence why you see people manually operating these in a movie set).
Anyway, I recommend looking into handhelds with built-in microphones (like the Zoom H1) so you can move it around easily.
Disclaimer: I'm not an audio professional, just an audio hobbyist who works on student films sometimes. :D
That's unfortunate, but I hope the voice actors get what they want. I really love the English VAs for the new regions so I want to hear more of them. In the meantime, I'll be using the other languages.
... and since [email protected] doesn't get pulls megathreads, I'll be bragging my pulls here instead :P

I love Dehya. So "losing" 50/50 to her is a big win for me. She's C4 now.
And of course, Xilonen. I heard she's geo Kazuha with healing instead of grouping. I don't care so much for meta but I'm happy I brought home two cat women with me yesterday.
The end credits mention 3DCG and motion capture so you might be right.
Surreal. Never read any of Junji Ito's works. I've only seen his artworks through social media. I don't like horror much, but let's see how long I can keep up with this one.
I didn't watch the livestream but I've had my eyes set on Xilonen since the first Natlan video. Can't wait to get her.
Archon Quest Spoilers
Sometimes I forget what happened in previous archon quests (and the story in general). I'm happy I remember Caribert from the cloth tied to his arm though.
His bit with Atossa was really emotional. Especially with the dolls on the tree in his island.
I found Caribert more interesting than the twins for some reason lol. I was a bit disappointed that the traveler doesn't remember their conversation with the other sibling. I was expecting something like what happened in the Sumeru Archon Quest.
I knew there was going to be a gift/ornament though but I wasn't expecting a photograph. It was a bit funny.
Anyway, I can't wait for the next summer event. Genshin Impact's summer events are always fun.
The only screenshot I was able to take:
Ani.Social and Lemmy.World federation issues
Due to federation issues between Ani.Social and Lemmy.World caused by geographic distance, Ani.Social has been relocated from Asia to Europe.
Ani.Social was first moved to US on May 12 because EU providers like to ask for my passport and electricity bills. But even in the US, Ani.Social still could not keep up with Lemmy.World. Thankfully, there are smaller server providers in the EU that don't ask for my birth certificate so we migrated there a little over 24 hours ago.
The chart below shows Ani.Social is now on par with other servers in terms of Lemmy.World activity queue in the past 24 hours.
Moving Ani.Social to a region closer Lemmy.World was a last resort option because I'd like to have my servers close to me and to avoid centralizing Lemmy servers in US/EU. However, because a potential fix appears to be scheduled for Lemmy v0.19.5, I felt that we really need to migrate sooner.
I apologize for not announcing the migration and the downtime(s), as I only had time to work on this a few days ago.
We will likely relocate back to Asia in the future when a fix is available.
Lost activities
Because of a problem during the migration, activities (likes, posts, comments, etc) from Ani.Social between May 12 16:31 to 17:47 (UTC) have been lost locally. They may appear in federated instances but cannot be deleted or modified from Ani.Social. This happened because of an unexpected behavior in migrating the database. I apologize for this and I'll carefully review the database restoration steps next time.
(Specifically, I first restored an earlier backup then a later backup after. For some reason, Postgres did not include the changes of the later backup.)
Video uploads
You can now upload videos that are up to 25mb in size and 7200 frames. See example below:
The file size is modeled after Discord's file size limits when uploading files to text channels. Depending on the usage and costs, we may or may not decrease these limits.
Temporarily removing info.ani.social
info.ani.social is the documentation @koyo and I wrote a long time ago but never completed. It contains information about ani.social such as the rules, guidelines, and FAQ. The aim of the webpage was to provide new users all the information they need to navigate Ani.Social and the rest of the Fediverse.
All the important information displayed in info.ani.social has been copied to https://ani.social/legal and the sidebar. Because Ani.Social aims to be accessible and easy to use for new users, I will return the info page as soon as possible (and possibly in the form of a community wiki).
Alternative front ends
Other instances have alternative front ends for Lemmy. Some of these look modern and include new features. We have deployed Photon at https://photon.ani.social if you are interested in trying a new look for Ani.Social. Let me know what you think of Photon and other frontends that you might like.
Nyaa.Social
Did you know that when I chose a domain name for Ani.Social, I had a few other candidates? These include otaku.social, baka.social, and nyaa.social. The first two were taken and I was choosing between nyaa.social and ani.social.
I decided to use Ani.Social for an anime Lemmy server because it was direct and straight to the point. I also felt nyaa.social was more fitting for a microblogging platform.
When I have the time, I want to experiment with a few microblogging platforms or other ActivityPub software for nyaa.social. If you have suggestions, please tell me! Right now I have Misskey and Sharkey in mind.

I made a comment in the gacha pull thread earlier this month with Tighnari. I was short around ~30 pulls for another 5-star guarantee. I spent the last few days playing through the rest of the Fontaine Archon Quest. With the extra primos and fates, I managed to get Furina today!
KQM also just posted their Furina guide so I guess I'll be spending the next few weeks building her.

I never thought of Spirited Away that way but now that you mention it, it does resemble isekai.
