What Have You Watched This Past Week That is NOT a Currently Airing Show? [July 5th, 2026]
Title says it all - talk about the anime you watched this past week that are not a part of this Summer 2026 season (like Mushoku Tensei Season 3 or **The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You Season 3 **), or a show that's continuing from previous seasons (like Yomi no Tsugai).
With regards to Spring 2026 shows, however, it would be fine to write about them as long as you only began them after they finished airing. For example, it's fine to talk about watching I Became Friends with the Second Cutest Girl in the Class or Nippon Sangoku if you started them after the final episode aired. Obviously, use your best judgement on this.
Please use spoiler tags; it's super simple stuff. An example below:
[KonoSuba Ep 9] >!"THIS WAS A VERY BAD EPISODE, DARKNESS DID NOT DESERVE THAT!<
comes out to be [KonoSuba Ep 9] >!"THIS WAS A VERY BAD EPISODE, DARKNESS DID NOT DESERVE THAT!<

Short & Sweet: Botan Kamina Fully Blossoms in Artwork
“Nothing wrong with deferring to support mechanisms if you don’t get it.”
Words I’ll take to heart, Chin-lan. Welcome back to Short & Sweet, where members of the r/anime Awards Off Season team talk about their favorite scenes in anime. It’s time for an art lesson as I delve into the meaning behind the paintings depicted in the tenth episode of Botan Kamiina Fully Blossoms When Drunk, with the help of “support mechanisms” (AKA art history articles on the Internet). To help viewers understand Kanade Gujou’s rapidly deteriorating mental state (poor girl), the show places her in front of numerous compositions meant to underline her feelings.
Very helpfully, the show quickly points out that the girls are visiting the Pola Museum of Art located in Hakone.^(1) This exhibit boasts a large collection of foreign art, including works from Monet, Picasso, and Van Gogh. In the first scene of the episode, Gujou stands in front of a painting featuring two clasped hands wearing nail polish. The painted nails suggest that these hands belong to two women, visually depicting Gujou’s sapphic desire for a romantic relationship with Ibuki. She mirrors the painting with her own hands, her body language giving away her longing for this dreamlike, pastel-colored world.
The signboard next to Gujou points out several artists who belong to the Impressionism and Post-Impressionism movements. But this piece in particular seems antithetical to that school of thought: it hides the brushstrokes, emphasizes the shadows in the gaps between fingers, and presents the subject as clearly distinct from the background.^(2) This painting highlights the hands alone, in stark contrast to Impressionist artists like Monet, who preferred the totality of the scene. It’s a bit of a liberal interpretation, but to me it makes clear that Gujou is hyperfocused on that romantic gesture of handholding as opposed to appreciating everything as a whole. Perhaps a red flag about how Gujou approaches her love for an idealized Ibuki.
Next, the cast explores a visiting exhibition, which looks inspired by color field painting. Popularized by artists like Mark Rothko, this art style is characterized by large planes of flat, solid color to evoke raw emotions without the assistance of forms or symbols.^(3,4) While Gujou wanders the exhibit, these vibrant red paintings constantly catch the viewer’s eyes. They reflect the passionate yet unrequited love she feels towards Ibuki and how that inner turmoil overwhelms her. Meanwhile, Chin-lan is frequently placed in front of the same style of painting but in cool blues. Not only does this foreshadow their later conversation, in which Chin-lan encourages Gujou to join her at a metaphorical sea, but it also contrasts with the more intense and painful feelings that are tied to the red paintings. Rothko famously noted how people have wept upon seeing his works because they reflect the most basic and relatable emotions back at them. And the audience can see that phenomenon in action as Gujou falls apart amidst these fields of red.
While the color field paintings were fairly easy to deduce, I did have to rely on some “support mechanisms” to better comprehend the other artwork discussed in this episode of Botan. While I’m okay with that, Gujou would go on to bemoan her need for support mechanisms, conflating her ability to decipher art with her understanding of Ibuki. No matter what she reads or what she learns, she’ll never “get” Ibuki like Botan does. This short escapade to the Pola Museum of art captures the highs and lows of Gujou’s tragic love life through its wide assortment of Impressionist and non-Impressionist art.

Animes that left you empty
I've watched now for the second time Cyberpunk Edgerunners and I've realized that the animes/manga I most like are those ones that have really deep and impactful stories/endings. The animes I most like are Cyberpunk Edgerunners, Devilman Crybaby, Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist, School Days (Idk why), etc.
Do you have any personal anime/manga that left you thinking about it or made you feel kinda hollow?

What are some romance anime that get right into the relationship?
Obviously, the will they won’t they is a staple in romance anime, but at a certain point it starts to drive me nuts. Any good anime where the couple gets together quickly? Thanks!
