I think that if they mess with his brother he could snap pretty easily. One of the only things we knew about Helck in the early part of the season is that he was supposed to have killed his brother. So, I fully expect the humans to force some kind of confrontation between Helck and Cless or just kill Cless and frame Helck so that Helck doesn't spread the truth about the demons.

Welp, one more entire episode devoted to Helck's backstory with another on the horizon based on the episode preview. I like backstory and worldbuilding as much as the next person, but I feel like this could have been paced better. For the first 12 episodes we had almost no backstory about Helck and the humans. Then we are getting at least four entire episodes devoted to it in one giant exposition dump? It feels like it would have been possible to do both story and backstory at the same time rather than put a hard stop on the story so that we can have a whole arc just devoted to backstory.

That being said, I do like the backstory being told and think it is interesting. It was also a solid gag to have Helck be so dense that he doesn't even realize how dense he was being when his buddies were setting him up on a date.

They are really making Rose look like a villain here. Which...thinking about it, isn't entirely wrong either.

I had to look up Yuzuki Family as that show was not even on my radar for this season. There are so many shows coming out each season that it is hard to keep up. On the flip side, that usually means that you can always find a couple shows that really click with you each season. It certainly sounds wholesome from the synopsis. Might be one to queue up when it's been a while since I talked with my brother.

Are you watching Trigun (1998) or Trigun Stampede (2023)? My wife loves Trigun and we are planning on watching it soon (working through another show right now). However, she was really put off by Stampede's art style and gave it a pass.

This is the first I have heard of the Elden Ring manga. I am definitely going to be checking that out. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

I have heard good things about Shangri-La Frontier, might have to check that one out.

I am a total sucker for silly isekai premises, but the pig isekai just seemed a bit too Inukai-san's Dog for me. I was planning on waiting to see how it was received before investing time in it. Thank you for being brave enough to wade into the unknown and report back for the rest of us. Not all heroes wear capes.

This one is on my to-watch list purely because it comes from Takahiro Oomori and I love both Baccano! and Durarara. Good to hear that it is being well-received. I think I am planning on waiting for its run to finish and then binge it.

Agreed completely on the fan service of Viola (proof). Hopefully we get a comfy, fantasy slice of life going forward.

It's been a little while since I have last shilled for this series, but it's pretty fun. Probably my favorite ongoing slice of life. Same author as Shinryaku! Ika Musume (Squid Girl).

I have seen the posts to the sub for Ri-chan from @Rottcodd@lemmy.ninja but haven't checked it out yet. I am all for more stories centering around adults doing stuff rather than another story taking place in high school. Looking now, it seems like they are very short chapters, so it won't take too long to catch up.
