The animation was superb

I really like the timing of different scenes and actions. The story is standard but so far I am enjoying it.

Thanks. I shouldn’t have been posting in the middle of the night.

If you watch it again you can see that Ruby has light star in certain shots and dark stars in other. Great attention to detail.

The mood whiplash from music video just like an internet algorithm serving up whatever; was something else.

Ughhhh… That face…

Can’t wait for the next season. I have enjoyed my time watching growth of Aqua, Akane and Kana on stage.

This really slaps. Great fights. Superb Animation. Feels like deep worldbuilding. Good soundtrack. Great story boarding with match cuts.

Sadly I am not really the target audience but I will keep an eye on it. This could be a hidden gem for the fall season.

Also this:

top or bottom? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

1 flux capacitor
2 positrons
1 hug
1 thingamajig
3 liters of blinker fluid
one simple manual excavator
1 mol of oxygen
1 µg of unobtanium
1 grimoir for casting spells 
1 ring to rule them all
50 melons for grade school math problem

Two separate entities with same thought process with some sort of multi-threading and there is one consciousness / free will.

Edit: Not a lot of is explained as MC is still new to the whole thing. If you are curious maybe read it. Not a lot plot but still something. I could also have wrong interpretation of the whole thing.

The emotions and fantasy skills are split but thinking and consciousness are connected. There are couple of interesting choices by the author about the mechanic like MC can’t wake up themselfs. I fear that the author will disregard some things that were previously established.

Not much LN this week but a couple of Web Novels and Manga

Waking Up As a Spaceship!? What’s a Ship Girl Supposed To Do Now?! - Really nice Space Opera Isekai about guy turned into AI. The chemistry between characters is quite good. Writing is decent. The international intrigue is there. World building is just a mix of different games like Elite Dangerous, EVE online etc. with claque of USA, UK and Japan as Space Empires. Sadly the author probably died during 2020 pandemic and there wasn’t any more updates after that.

Reincarnated into Two Bodies - Fantasy Isekai but narrator has two bodies. The potential is there for some great shenanigans but for now I don’t feel like it has gotten into its peak. I feel like there is a prologue and half of an story arc. (Maybe it will fill my bookworm hole with weekly chapters)

This frame is brilliant. The reflection in the glass is of Ruby and Aqua.

So you would need metal singing lessons instead of traditional ones.

I reccomend hopping on !chat@literature.cafe

Finally finished.

It really explores an Idea that all the people in the world are living lives just like ours. With successes, tragedies and all in between. Can’t wait for season 2.

Only Two shows managed to keep me interested.

Oshi no ko season 2 - At times I was on the edge of my seat.

Dungeon People - Very nice CGDCT show with an accent on comedy.

Also I was catching up with Apothecary Diaries but still got finale to watch.

P.S Bye Bye Earth got OST released this week. The only redeeming quality of that show.
Bye Bye, Earth - Vol. 1 - The Duel - (IMO best song)
Bye Bye, Earth - Vol. 2

Can’t wait for anime adaptation (in 2025 ;-;)

Witch Hat Atelier is a great manga. Maybe I should catch up with it as I have 8 unread chapters.

Caught a flu so I had a bit of time to read.

Even a Replica Can Fall in Love - interesting story with nice climax but the ending after the climax was emotionally unsatisfying. A bit confusing on how the main supernatural power works. I would think that original sunao would end up in totally different circumstances than it was portrayed in the novel.

The Magic in this Other World is Too Far Behind! vol 1-4 - After the second volume quality slowly started to drop. In the fourth volume amount of lolis reached critical amount and author chose to write a harem of lolis around MC and I don’t want to read something like that. (at least he doesn’t do something explicit or implicit to them.) Action scenes felt a bit too long. The plot was uninteresting. Twists and turns felt forced. I wouldn’t recommend reading it.

First and Last Idol ⅓ - this is a collection of sci-fi short stories and I have only read the first one. There are some modern sci-fi tropes. The plot felt like an approach towards black hole. Reader wishes that it would stop. It doesn’t stop. The technical mumbo jumbo was a bit much and reading it felt like fever dream of man made horror.

So Clay finally feels at home in the dungeon. I wonder if Clay will find her father in the final episode next week (Probably not)

Also those black uniforms totally don’t give off executioner kind of vibes.
