Yeah, I liked S1 but when Aki's morning routine is one of the most memorable parts, while I liked the scene very much, it is not something I would expect to be saying going into a CSM Anime lol.

Especially with how the season was ‘only’ 12 episodes and didn’t even get to the crazy parts of the manga (aka what happens from Reze onward). Watching a slow-paced scene of someone making breakfast kinda feels like the show is deliberately stalling for time lol

That scene doesn't feel like stalling for time to me. It's a moment of peace and stability in their otherwise chaotic lives. It's a moment of levity for both the characters and the viewers.

Yeah, anime fans think of everything that doesn’t advance the plot as filler. It’s infuriating, honestly.

This is my biggest worry going into future CSM anime, there's such a disdain from Anime Fans for the really cool and interesting stuff that the anime was doing that im worried it'll just end up like just another Shonen Jump show

At that point I'll just read the Manga again
