You guys got any precedence data?

Kenshin guy was found with hundreds of pounds of actual child porn. He is actively back in the magazine, working, has Oda making big pushes for his return, and was apologized to by Jump for taking his stuff out in the first place.

So.

Yeah.

Yeah.

He also only ever got a fine, legally speaking, so if this new guy ends up in jail, the punishment might be more severe.

it's gettin real now

---

It was "just" porn for Watsuki. This guy actually assaulted two girls. Depends on how they qualify a minor or major event I guess.


---

That's a confirmed RIP to Act-Age.

Kinda of surreal how that just happened overnight. Not my favorite series, but it was fun to follow its growth in popularity for something that started so niche.

---

In other news, Kobayashi's Dragon Maid Season 2 has been confirmed to be animated by KyoAni again.

---

Looking forward to it. I believe there is another dragon to be introduced?

---

Looks like there will be from the visual.


---

Ah. I hadn't noticed at first, but I see it now.

---

The climax of Wano has begun :O

also aww yeah that color cover with finally the full crew on it

---

Jujutsu Kaisen coming to Crunchyroll, it's chances for success have been saved.

Lmao so Netflix retweeting about the trailer or whatever was just to give us all heart attacks

I am thinking of Jujutsu Kaisen and not another show right?

---

Yes, that's correct. Their name was also on the original PV. It was NOT on the most recent PV, however. Wonder if that's something that fell through?

---

Hey man viz attributes beastar manga sales to netflix.

---

Beastars is part of the 10% of anime that get Netflix delaycasted that managed to come through the fog.

---

Also the premiere date on Netflix for Beastars happened to coincide with the ramp up of Covid and lockdown measures lol, a lot of things ended up lining up for it to help push it through.

---

I never even considered that, lol.

---

I even got my sister to watch it and that was because she was cooped up inside and wanting stuff to do/watch

---

Excited for JoJolion #100 next week.

You can't do a massive lore dump like Araki did last month and not do something big for a 100th chapter too

---

I'm committed to watching up to part 6 in anime form, but form what I've heard of steel ball run and beyond, I can't wait to get to it.

---

---

Excellent news.

I watched most of Hyouka recently. Might or might not ever get around to the last few episodes, and as that would suggest I have somewhat mixed feelings. I'm conflicted because it's obvious from watching it that they put quite a bit of care into making the series, but unfortunately for me it just never amounts to anything compelling. Ultimately the best way to describe my feelings might just be "it's boring" which feels reductive, but I do feel it's legitimate to complain about the fact that neither the main conflicts of the show nor the character arcs managed to catch my interest, especially when this is supposed to be a character-driven drama. (I think? Unless people really love the mysteries?) The highlight was pretty easily the movie arc, but even then some things about the character direction in that felt a bit silly to me.

Or maybe I'm just getting too old to relate to high school drama shows now. I certainly hope not but who knows. I at least think it's possible I would have bitten a lot harder onto Oreki's character arc 6 or 7 years ago.

Also started watching Bofuri, which is a pretty fun and amusing show so far. I like both of the main characters so far, and also they're chemistry is fairly good. It's not the only show I've seen that does this, but is still nice to see a VRMMO show where it's just people playing the game and having fun, and not the grimdark "no one can logout and if you die in the game you die for real" plotline.
---

oh no I'm all caught up on One Punch Man now I'm sad I don't have more to read

how about that Psykos

---

Yeah Bofuri is definitely not Grimdark. It's just about friends playing a game where one of them keeps accidentally breaking it and becoming more overpowered.

---

Higurashi on course for next season, 2 cour.

AHHHH I CAN'T WAIT

---

bold predix some people will die

---

Me.

---

How much is it gonna cover? I don't see a point if it's gonna go the same pace as the previous adaptation.

---

I don't think we know yet.

As excited for this as I am, it's primarily as a vehicle for wanting an Umineko tease after the credits role on the last episode.

---

Assuming they want to do better than the last adaptation, it's going to be at least 75 episodes, so you'll be waiting a few years for said "last episode."
---

Even worse, if the Higurashi remake is successful enough to run that long they'll probably go ahead and remake Umineko too. And then you'll end up getting your hopes up for a good anime adaptation only to be horribly disappointed in the end because Umineko can't be made into a good anime.
---

My dream umineko anime is 8 cour.

Watched the first 2 episodes of Deca-Dence since I remember hearing the name and I've been slacking on new shows, went in completely blind

Yea wow uh that's quite a turn, I'm still a liiiiittle confused on some details of it specifically the human role in this but it's definitely interesting. And I was already on board with the original premise!

---

Alright hold up, Deca-Dence's director and writer are the same as the director and writer for Mob Psycho 100????? Why was I not told of this?????

---

I mentioned it like twice!

---

Obviously I meant pinged directly, gosh

and yea part of "I remember hearing the name" was from various posts in here but I never really read them as to not spoil myself on anything, just noticed that it popped up every so often.

---

Watched episode 1 of Astra Lost in Space.

Seems like a solid show so far but I'm also bit worried. I've heard this is more of a mystery show (I've seen it compared a bunch to Rokka no Yuusha), and that just feels like the wrong genre here? At least there's a ton of ways to incorporate mystery into this premise that will go horribly wrong, so we'll see. Admittedly I think I also had similar misgivings about Rokka, albeit not as strong, but that turned out to be pretty great.

I also may just have the totally wrong idea of the show is actually like.
---

Astra is a rollercoaster and a half, one of the best surprises of the last several years.

Sounds interesting, but it's a little misleading to compare someone's original writing with an adaptation.

---

I still think it's worth pointing out, he obviously has a semblance of knowing what he's doing since he oversaw the Mob anime general layout. Granted it doesn't meant it's guaranteed but it makes me more likely to be like "yea I think that can turn out good" rather than not.

---

Astra Episode 3 beated.

I should probably avoid speculating too much about this show, but I will say that one of the main things I've been worried about is that the show is going to attempt to go for the twist that one of the main characters--most likely pink-haired girl--is a super yandere (that term might not exactly be applicable here but whatever), and somehow deliberately brought about this situation because they thought being in a life-or-death situation could allow them to make friends with everybody. This could perhaps work if the character in question is the shy girl, but most likely this will be awful if it happens so I really hope the show isn't going in that direction. Please don't try and tell me whether or not this actually happens.

At least I will say that I don't think anybody on the ship is trying to kill each other, simply for the reason that it would have been trivially easy for them to do so already. If this assumption is correct then the show will have at least avoided many of the pitfalls I was worried about.

Anyway based on everything that's actually happened the show is pretty solid though.
---

The manga was in Shounen Jump and it's from the author of Sket Dance, in case you didn't know.
---

I didn't but I also know literally nothing about Sket Dance beyond the title being something I've heard of before. I couldn't even tell you a premise or synopsis without looking it up.
---

Did someone say Shonen Jump

Only 5 volumes huh? Was it cut short or was it meant to be a fairly short series?

---

The premise is not one that seems like it was designed to go on and on like you might expect from a battle shounen manga or something.
---

Aye.

Chainsaw Man.

Fuck you.
