Konosuba season 2 has one of the best openings I've ever seen.
---

Next up is Tsuki ga Kirei. Wonder how long it'll take mal to put the final ep count for Owari s2. I'll just leave it at 3 eps until they put it at 7.
---

So I didn't finish watching girls und panzer (stopped after episode 2, will probably pick it back up sometime though, it was enjoyable) and instead watched gi(a)rlish number. It was decent and I found myself empathizing with chitose whcih probably isn't a good thing but meh. The resolution was sorta meh but in a way it's almost nice to see something end that way, just for the novelty of it. Sorta motivating as well which was the reason I switched to it. I hope it gives me enough motivation.

Update:

- One Piece is fantastic. Currently chapter 450~
- I have a few chapters of Promised Neverland and maybe 1 or 2 Kingdom chapters to catch up on.
---

picked up a copy of Otaku USA magazine not that long ago, I didn't even know it was still in print. Just finished reading it.

Speaking of One Piece, I'm hoping to get some episodes from a friend of mine, he has like 600+ episodes on a external hard-drive and I bought a extra 1TB harddrive and I'm going leave it with him for a day or so and get them all. Pretty excited.
---

That's awesome -0melette-! I only read up to I think issue 60 or so of the One Piece manga. I ended up getting distracted by other manga like Bleach & Dragon ball. I should get back to it. I'm really enjoying Genshiken right now.

granblue music is so good

After finishing up Otorimonogatari I am once again reminded by how much I loathe Sengoku, she is undoubtedly my most hated character in the series next to "Ougi-chan" with her "boo hoo I am such a wussy" attitude, characters like her piss me of the most

Nadeko definitely is an obnoxious character but they were pretty set on deconstructing all the harem archetypes so I guess they couldn't leave out the shy cute younger girl. You can tell nisioisin has trouble writing characters that aren't snarky though because she just was not interesting. At least her growth is somewhat satisfying.

Ougi is awesome though. I grew to like her quite a bit. I love her just starting conversations in the middle and getting the other people to just assume they must have forgotten what was being talked about. The hilarious hypnosis stuff in sodachi was funny too.
---

Started on Alice to Zouroku. Guess my book break is lasting longer than I thought lol. Though, I did read a bit yesterday.
---

I went to Akihabara today, gotta say it was lit af fam. One building has 5 floors of just figures. Some of these used ero figures are probably "used" a little bit too intensely if you know what I mean. Anyway, you can stumble into a lot of porn just like, casually. It's amazing

There is a block you can walk around where a ton of cute girls are trying to sell you something you can't understand. Maid cafe etc, I didn't go in one of those. I am eating a lot at Matsuya, Katsuya, Yoshinoya etc which are chain stores that you order from a screen and eat quickly amongst depressed salarymen.

Got a cute little mini Riza Hawkeye and I'm going back to get some initial d or Gundam models later on. Wanna get an Alphonse but FMA figures are pretty expensive.

Also the arcade: Taito Station. Uhhh 5 floors and there are stairs up but not down... So you have to wait for the elevator and cram in there with a bunch of sweaty Otaku. 100 yen for a single play can add up really fast too. Wouldn't recommend
---

100 yen is like 92 cents usd
---

Used ero merchandise. I honestly thought I couldn't be surprised by Japan anymore, but they pulled it off.

But I guess it's not much different than selling used panties. Technically it's probably more sanitary.
---

It would have been cool if you could have made it to summer Comiket last weekend.
---

Watching Uchouten Kazoku s2. It's still one of the weirder shows I've seen.

Yeah so you get like 3 minutes of play for a dollar...

As for the figures they probably clean them in some way. Japanese people like their cleanliness

DUDE. Where did the new Yu-Gi-Oh movie get the instrumental versions of the Music to Duel By soundtrack?

I NEED THESE IN MY LIFE.
---

Not that I'm complaining, because this movie is the shit.. but the case said it was 89 minutes, and I've been watching it for over two hours now. Just kinda threw me off; I had to look it up and it's actually 2 hours, 11 minutes.
---

I have returned. Thank you all for the good wishes and positive karma. Unfortunately, shortly after the doctors moved Mom from hospital to hospice, she passed, so the past three days have been spent with family, though I have been playing Persona 1 and FE Heroes in my down time as comfort food. ... Mom never fully grasped my interest in anime / manga and video games, but she still made a reader and writer out of me. Will not be the same without her around. (Currently dipping into her Stephen King collection to honor her memory.)
---

Oh my God, I'm so sorry, man.

I guess since she was in a hospice this wasn't really out of nowhere, so you've probably had some time to prepare for it. But still, I can't imagine what you're going through.

I assume you've seen season 1 right? I liked it. It presented very strange things as normal life and the girl was very intriguing/dangerous feeling character. I will watch s2 eventually

Appreciate the thoughts, man.

The scary thing is that she was fine two months ago, and just a little under the weather two weeks ago, talking to me normally. People are used to thinking of cancer as one of those things that acts like a slow creep, but there are times when it sneaks up on you really, really fast. By the time the doctors had any idea what was happening, it was too late to do anything about it. She was only in hospice for less than twelve hours.

Like I told the folks at work: Give your mom a hug. You only get one, after all.
---

Sorry to hear about your Mum Abibde, I wish you and your family the best in getting through what must be an extremely difficult time

:(

Yeah, season 2 is a good continuation, you'll enjoy it if you liked the first methinks.
---

My condolences I_Abibde, I'm sorry about your loss. Don't worry though, I'm sure you'll be ok. Just take it easy for a few days, you'll be alright.
---

Has any one seen/read Ergo Proxy & Blame? I got recommend those, they sound cool.
---

I've seen Ergo Proxy and the Blame movie
---

I was planning on reading the manga of each. There is a manga for Ergo Proxy right?
---

The anime for ergo proxy is pretty good, no idea if there is any related material like manga or whatnot.

Likewise. I can't imagine losing someone that important in my life. I'm so sorry.
When my uncle died people used to tell my aunt that she'll get over it. She never did. She got through it, not over it.
---

Thanks again, everybody. Now that I've had a long weekend to process it, I'm doing better. I don't know that I'm over it, since it's given me a lot to think about, but I can go back to work today and do my job like normal. If anything, I feel ... older. More adult, maybe. I'm not much younger than my dad was when he lost his father. He and I have always been pretty close, so I just have to make sure I'm around for him. Parents take care of children, and then children take care of parents in the end. That's how it's supposed to work, anyway.

Strangely enough, I'm still up to date on most of the shows I'm following this anime season. New Game! is just great, and Gamers isn't too far behind it. The others (Aho-Girl
and Smartphone et al) are more filler than anything else, but I've seen a lot worse.
---

Man, cancer sucks and it sucks you had to go through that. Take all the time you need yo.

Gundam Base in Diver City Obaida is amazing. Its like a museum of Gunpla plus for sale every model like, ever. I'm not even into Gunpla but I spent an hour in there, walked out with an RX-78-2 kit. only like 10 bucks. Also got a Hachiroku plastic model kit at Akiba and a little set of tools so I guess I'm gonna spend a lot of time putting this shit together.

By the way, my condolences to you Abibde. May I suggest you treat yourself to a trip to Gundam Base?
---

is that the souvenir you got me
---

You ought to check out a hot spring if you haven't already, or maybe a bathhouse.

Should have got you the OG RX-78, it's only 300 yen but you have to buy like 1000 yen worth of paint or else it's grey
---

I didn't even know about soapland, I'm about 5 minutes from kabukicho so it's tempting lol

It's, uh, where a boy goes to become a man.


It actually does sound like a pretty amazing experience, and I'm not entirely sure it's deserving of a negative stigma. If it's within your budget/location/schedule, I would actually consider it.
