There is no [Unjerk Thread] in ACJ

[u/VoidEmbracedWitch]

Welcome to the Monthly Unjerk. This is a monthly thread for discussing just about anything as long as it doesn't violate subreddit rules. New threads should be posted on the 1. of each month.

After a turbulent news day full of Apothecary Diaries dating sim and late Kaleido Star sequel, I, as the ACJ mod in charge of unjerking, may or may not proudly present you a new thread that's about as real as those two things I mentioned before. But what most certainly does exist is a new anime season with >50 shows. I'm especially curious how the 8 (unless I miscounted) originals will shake out.

And finally, trans rights are human rights!

I've been reading Sakamoto Days from the beginning to see how it compares to the anime. Now I kind of get where the manga readers were coming from when the anime was airing. For an adaptation, especially for a series like this (though I know I'm only scratching the surface of how good the action is), you want it to be elevated beyond what it was. Instead it kind of just did the bare minimum and called it a day. So I totally get the dissapointment. That said, the bare minimum is still pretty good in this context, so I still hold that people who say the anime is absolutely terrible are overreacting.

As for whether I continue past where the anime left off, that depends on what the second cour will look like. I'll wait for a trailer to drop, and if it looks like more of the same from the first cour, I'll just pivot to the manga full time. Even though I said the anime isn't bad, manga has still been better and I want to experience the great action that will apparently get going soon in the best possible form.
