I’m so worried that this adaptation is gonna be terrible, but the light novels are fantastic.

Well this looks awesome.

I used them a lot but I don’t get them much anymore. Used to get them once every 2 weeks, now it’s once every few months.

I’m still surprised every time I go into a Subway and the footlongs don’t cost $5. Now they cost $12.

Wait, so you watched the first half of episode one, then the very end of the final episode of season 1 and you’re judging the show based off that? Wow. Firstly, that’s a terrible way to watch shows. You have no idea what it’s even about and you’re calling it disgusting and wondering why people like it.

The entire concept of the show is that the main character is completely unhinged and totally believes in his 8th grade delusions, then dies and gets sent to another world where all of his delusions keep actually happening, but now he thinks his “friends” are just really cool and playing along with him. He’s massively overpowered and that’s explained in all of the content that you didn’t watch.

The main character has absolutely zero interest in romance. He may have a bunch of girls vying for him, but I don’t consider this a harem anime. All he cares about is living out all his OP character fantasies.

The first episode is played 100% straight, and the last episode is a big final fight wrapping up this entire plot that he’s gotten himself tangled in. But he’s literally just toying with the two women he’s fighting, they aren’t anywhere near his level. Anyone who actually watched the show understands that. You picked two of the most serious moments of the show to watch and are wondering why it’s not funny.

I’m not saying you have to like it, but not watching a show but then calling it out for being “discusting” is a weird thing to do.

I enjoyed season 1 of this. It wasn’t amazing, but it was fun. Happy to have a season 2.

What? How is it disgusting? Eminence is fantastic.

I have a sound joke but you can’t hear it

Well it’s a little complicated. Tolkien wrote it as one novel, which contained 6 books + appendices. But the publisher didn’t want to publish a 1200 page (iirc) book, so they made him divide it into 3 volumes, each containing 2 books, and then they titled them to be what we know them as.

Fun fact, the only title he wasn’t happy with was The Return of the King, because it gave away what happens in the book.

I’m partial to The Two Towers because Helms Deep is amazing and it blew my 9 year old mind when I saw it in theaters. But they’re all fantastic movies.

“Wanna shit” is a bit of an understatement for what happens, but yeah, just take a 9000 unit lactase pill every 30 minutes while consuming it and you’ll be fine. Or maybe two pills if you’re eating a LOT of cheese.

Oh I know, I’m talking about the same thing. It usually happens to me when I’m sitting in my simracing rig which is next to my PC and a window. I’ll be worried thinking my GPU or wheelbase has started burning when in reality it’s an overheated car radiator or something right out my window.

Happens to me once every few months. It always turns out to be a smell from outside that’s made its way into my apartment. Usually someone’s beat-up, overheating car being parked under my window.

I was lactose intolerant as a baby. Grew out of it and ate cheese all the time. Then at 28 I was suddenly lactose intolerant again. Still eat cheese all the time but I just keep lactaid on me.

It really is, I’m just nitpicking when I point out things that could be done better. I’m stoked about this series and have been recommending it to all my simracing teammates.

I really need to check out The Apothecary Diaries. I keep hearing good things.

Alright this was my favorite episode yet. I love Suzuka so seeing it accurately represented was great. As for the racing accuracy, everything they were saying was correct, but the visual depiction of wet weather tires vs slicks was pretty lacking.

If the track was really that wet at the start of the race, that 3rd place car on wets should have easily gotten past the two Belsorisso drivers. Like, maybe even before the esses. Having them all stay in line for the entire first lap was a little immersion breaking. When it’s wet out you tend to get drivers going all over the track hunting for any extra grip they can find, and drivers on slicks will be spinning their rears on corner exit constantly.

That said, everything else was great. I loved the detail about drivers on wets pulling off the line to cool their tires in the wet parts of the track.

The story this episode was great. I like that Kouya’s trauma wasn’t so easy to overcome and that he still has a lot to work through. And for some fun trivia, it’s fitting that the episode after they talk about Hunt and Lauda, Haruka retires from a wet weather race. In the 1976 season’s final race, Lauda retired from the Japanese GP because of how terrible the weather was, giving Hunt the championship.

Can’t wait to see where we go with this next week!

Well now I need a 15 volume light novel series based on this. That was great.

I’m guessing the original post was prime numbers and this was just slapped together.

The new character designs are much closer to the original designs from the light novel. She’s supposed to look fairly young. Iirc she’s described as looking like a teenager.
