I was wondering the same thing. It seems like there’s an awful lot of care being put into how the kids’ bodies are treated, and I don’t see why the issue would be getting this much screen time if the kids weren’t actually still alive.

I want one, but this title is kinda clickbait. You can’t actually buy one; you can only pre-order it.

Mother’s Basement was streaming a watch-along of the first 3 seasons of Gag Manga Biyori (not to be confused with Non Non Biyori) so I thought “hey why not”.

That was some weird shit.

It was like watching Gintama with a sprinkling of Cromartie High. I kinda wish I had some alcohol for that, but hey there’s still seasons 4 & 5.

Yeah but naming someone after something from an unfinished series is still a very bold move. I could imagine a world where I name a kid after a fantasy character, but definitely not one where I name them after a fantasy character from an unfinished series. I mean, who knows where things might go!

I still don’t see what prevents someone from just buying a different model.

So this just bans that “style” of rifle? Someone can just go buy some other semi-automatic rifle that doesn’t look as imposing or whatever but will still kill a person just as dead? I don’t really get what this accomplishes other than inconveniencing people who already own one of the guns this prohibits.

That means you’re going to pay for them, digital or physical

Sure. I don’t mind paying. My blu-ray for one show shouldn’t be worth more than my car though.

Yes. That said, the blu-ray was something like $800 even when it was new.

It can be expensive depending on the show. One of my favorite anime, The Legend of the Galactic Heroes, last printed DVDs in 2004. Enjoy dropping several hundred dollars for them. You can get the blu-rays but now you’re paying nearly a thousand.

I hadn’t seen peak today yet; thank you for that. Too bad it’s nigh unreadable though lol.

10 years is a long time so I’ll try to be really selective:

• Kaguya-sama: Love is War - Two tsunderes have fallen for each other, and they’re trying every trick from every book to force the other person to admit it first. This is my favorite romance anime, and my favorite comedy anime as well. The manga is complete, and the anime has adapted just over half of it so far (3 seasons and 1 movie).
• Brave Bang Bravern! - Big gay robots. After all the Gundam and other shows I’ve watched I can’t believe something this silly is my favorite mech anime. It 100% deserves it though. What a sense of humor. This show is complete.
• Mob Psycho 100 - Same author as One Punch Man. A boy with psychic powers questions the value of having such a thing and tries his hardest to become the best person he can be. The same excellent writing quality you experienced with Season 1 of One Punch Man, but with even more incredible animation and a great ending. This show is complete.

Honorable mention goes to Delicious in Dungeon. I loved that show, but recommending it to someone who’s already seen it would be silly.

That’s great! I was putting off Season 3 because I definitely need to rewatch Seasons 1 & 2 first, so now I can just go through all of those right before Season 4 releases.

I have the best system for this. I just take notes year-round when the people around me say they want something, and then they’re genuinely surprised when they actually get it.

That’s great news! It’s been an enjoyable one so far.

One of them is Witch Watch. It’s been fun, but I don’t think it’s better than Gundam GQuuuuuux. The other is Kowloon Generic Romance. TBH I’ve only watched a few episodes of it; it seems like a good story but right now I’m debating between continuing the show or switching to the manga since I’ve heard the anime is skipping a bunch of stuff.

I’ve heard Apocalypse Hotel is good. Hopefully I’ll find the time to give it a look soon.

It’s crazy to me that Gundam GQuuuuuux didn’t even make the list. Out of the three shows I’m watching this season it by far is my favorite. I guess people must be put off by it being part of a bigger franchise; I’ll admit some parts might make less sense to someone who hasn’t seen the original Mobile Suit Gundam.

I love reading this guy’s words. It’s exactly the sort of thing you’d expect the writer of Chainsaw Man to write and that’s wonderful.

Finished reading Fullmetal Alchemist this week, and I’ve got to say reading that climax to the soundtrack of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood was a 10/10 experience. What a great time.

Since I finished one long series I decided to start another. I’ve had all 28 volumes of the Japanese edition of Kaguya-sama: Love is War on my shelf for over a year now, but I’ve been too afraid to start it - until now! Anyways, turns out my fear was well-justified.

POV: you thought you were ready for Kaguya-sama’s vocab just because you’ve read a few other seinen manga before

So that’s been fun. Been learning all sorts of interesting words like 潮騒 (roar of the sea waves), or 純愛 (pure love), or 輪廻 (cycle of death and rebirth). The vocab shown off here makes Fullmetal Alchemist look simple (it wasn’t) by comparison.

Blue Box also had a nice chapter this week, so that’s been fun. I don’t like it quite as much as Kaguya-sama: Love is War, but it’s still consistently been one of my favorite love stories in manga. It might be the best shounen love story I’ve seen, though Dandadan also competes pretty hard! We’ll have to see where both of them go from here.

Speaking of Dandadan, it’s currently in the part of the arc where lots of stuff is happening and everything is absolutely insane. I’m really looking forward to seeing how that all gets resolved.

It’s crazy how low-res the images often are even when you pay for digital manga from the official source. I know they have higher-res images because the print version is sharper!
