That was really nice

Ah yeah, weekend isn’t too bad

Kinda shitty times for everyone except NA, which is interesting considering where 3/4 of the talents are from.

While I did think the nurse was acting strangely at times, I didn’t expect this

I wonder if Shisui actually made the kids drink the resurrection potion

Exactly and the media is falling for it by giving him so much attention

It helps that this manga isn’t just a romance

Holy shit, while I do understand Shisui’s actions, it’s very fucked up. I also don’t really understand why no one stood up to Shenmei. Surely it wouldn’t be too hard to get people riled against someone clearly so tyrannical. Then again, history doesn’t agree with me here.

When these two characters showed up in the anime I was confused. I thought that perhaps my memory was just really bad

Same.

the changes to the story order and pacing have been big improvements over a straight adaptation.

Not sure I agree. Not saying the anime does it badly, but I liked the slowburn of the manga and now that I’m reading this I’m not sure how I feel about them combining the two arcs into one. It’s bound to skip a whooole lot

Yeah, I suppose I don’t have more than 100 tabs open

But I really like how Firefox mobile handles tabs right now…

Yeah, 2 seasons of build up is a lot to keep track with

Helllllll yeah.

Looks interesting. I’ll check it out. It’s still in pre-order though

Awesome!

In recent memory: Zenshuu. I was incredibly let down by the isekai bait and switch.

K-On is fucking great. Top tier slice of life and yeah, that episode hits very hard. Nothing of actual significance happens during the entire show, all low stakes, but if it clicks (and it doesn’t for many), it’s so good.

You should watch more of Naoko Yamada’s directed works. Her tenure at Kyoto Animation is so incredibly good. KyoAni tends to be great most of the time and their works probably have had the most impact on me in general, but her works over there were often a step above imo. My favourite probably being Liz And The Blue Bird, a spin off movie from the incredible Sound! Euphonium anime.

My currently reading list hasn’t been affected that much. Only a dozen or so no longer have any chapters. More don’t have older chapters, but that’s okay-ish for me (sucks for others that haven’t caught up though).

I haven’t checked my plan to read list in a while though, so I’m dreading that one.

Surprised this one didn’t get hit. There’s no way this would’ve gotten as much overseas attention without scanlation, but that didn’t stop other manga scanlations from getting DMCA’d

This felt like coming home
