Too many of you people haven't watched konosuba apparently. It's great, one of the best comedy anime. Go watch it on 9anime with ublock origin if you don't have legal access to it.
Zeus posted...
Other examples?
Log horizon enchanter class (or whatever main guy is). Slime (the slime is the weakest monster). Main guy class from hack//GU (adept rogue sucks but can actually do everything all the other claseses can and is broken OP). Pretty much every incarnation of anti magic but I can think specifically of touma from railgun and main guy from black clover. Pikachu from pokemon (inferior version of raichu yet somehow OP). The variety of 5th element magic (dark, light, origin, void etc) with zero no tsukaima as a double example because louise is actually OP void mage and fragile human is actually most OP gandalfr summon. Baka to Test (idiots are actually OP in a world ruled by smarts). That one card from yugioh (my grandfathers deck HAS NO WEAK CARDS). Naruto (shitty ninja can't use jutsu but actually has OP super magic trapped inside him letting him use shadow clone). Deku has no quirk but actually gets super OP strongest quirk in the world.

Theres countless other examples but it's ultra super common in anime. It's basically tapping into the "do you feel like you suck ass in real life, maybe it's actually cause you are secretly amazing and your talent just hasn't gotten a chance to shine".

Kanojo was definitely anime of the season for me. I only watched Breakwater, Kanojo and Uzaki-Chan. I'm going to watch the last two episodes of Uzaki tomorrow but Kanojo > Breakwater > Uzaki. Looks like Kanojo and Uzaki are getting second seasons too.

Very happy to discover that the mangaka behind You Will Hear the Voices of the Dead -- Uguisu Sachiko -- did something very similar to it called Children, Don't Play in the Dark. The only problem is that I think it's only one volume.

Also read one of her anthologies but it wasn't any good. Within the confines of a certain formula, I think she can do amazing stuff. However, the stories themselves might not hold up with recurring characters acting as a frame.

Only show I even managed to finish this season is demon misfit. Dropped kanojo, uzaki, and god of highschool. Easily the worst season in memory for me. Covid really took everything this season should have had. Still have SAO and re:zero seasons to watch but meh.

Meh, I should have looked before I started -- apparently it's only partly scanlated and, rather than reach the end, I'm at the cliffhanger ending of a first part of a story. On the plus side, most of it was scanlated recently so I might not have a long wait.

Re:Zero season 2 actually seems pretty good so far. I'm 4 episodes in. It's kind of weird. In some ways the story feels amateurish but theres some real substance in there at parts and it's a least one step up in cleverness from the average seasonal isekai. It's also got a surprisingly positive message hidden all the suffering.

haato and coco just got suspended for 3 weeks

haato showed viewership analytics showing her #3 country was taiwan, which chinese trolls did not like
coco drew aggro by also showing her analytics, showing taiwan
OBVIOUSLY this means taking a political stance and supporting the independence of taiwan

coco has been in membership only chat mode for multiple days now so anyone who wanted to send her death threats had to give her money to do so

Given the uncertainty of the Conan dub continuing (since right now it looks like it's been stopped for 2 years) and the fact that I'm lukewarm on the sub, I think I'll probably just stick with the manga... and I've decided to start it again at the beginning (despite the fact I might have left off 300+ chapters in -- it's hard to be sure given the series' limited continuity)

While I had forgotten some of the details regarding early mysteries, the first Yoko one I remembered pretty well... although it was even more of a downer than I'd recalled. I remembered the victim's romantic interest, but forgot that he only broken up with Yoko because the manager asked him to. I don't remember if the manager was still working with her in later cases, but it'd be kinda weird if she kept him around after that.

Because the series is currently over a thousand chapters long (and thankfully a lot of it is stand-alone), I probably won't be binging it like I've done with other series and will be reading other stuff as well... especially since it's almost October and I'll likely be reading a lot more horror manga, watching horror anime, etc (mostly because there aren't a ton of horror movies readily available on NF, etc, that I haven't already seen or don't care about)

I can watch youtube all day but for some reason anime fucks me up. My only guess is the frame rate or maybe it's just too exciting. I'm so sick of this.

They should really crack down on death threats. You should get prison time for sending one. It's such bullshit that anyone with any level of fame just has to endure death threats.

I'm sure they take death threats more seriously than they do here. Not only have death threats against me not been modded, but I got warned for complaining about one once because I suggested forwarding it to the authorities if the mods weren't going to take it seriously.

Finished Uguisu Sachiko's Freudstein Twins. Going to be a little bummed when I get through the last of her stuff that's currently scanlated (although one of her other anthologies was a complete miss)

Right now she's probably my second favorite horror mangaka behind Junji Ito, although her work is generally far tamer and comedic in nature (as well geared more towards a younger audience)

Awesome callback to one of Deku's first lines though and shows amazing growth by Bakugo.

And I doubt the mangaka will just decide to kill off his most popular character like that. He'll probably be out of commission for a while though, like Mirio. Kinda don't like how they decided to showcase Deku though. There must have been a more organic way for him to be the focus without randomly taking out his competition.

Reached the end of Tokimeki No Ikenie. Guess that's still ongoing? idk. Very different from Uguisu Sachiko's other stuff, since it's a running continuity whereas a lot of her other manga can work as a standalone (well, except for the final volume of Shibito, where half of it was just the same running story (and even the other large story tied directly into it) and the whole volume benefited from the greater context of the series.)

Started Jinmen. The scanlation is lousy (to the point of being borderline incomprehensible at times) and the story has some issues (and the first few chapters kinda sucked), but jfc it's pretty awesome on the whole.

Once again, though, I *probably* should have done it as a tag for later and waited for the series to wrap before reading. Right now it's got 26 chapters and is bound to end on a cliffhanger. (I also realized that Parasyte has another series, but that I'm definitely going to wait for it to wrap.)

Yeah, the ER was pretty good news though. My chest had been hurting for a few days so I was worried there was some damage and I hadn't gotten electrolytes drawn in a while either so I was worried my potassium had dipped to dangerous levels. Knowing both are fine means I can take it a bit slower the next week or so and not be in such a rush to try new meds. Gives me some time to heal up from all the latest rough things.

Its actually so frustrating though. Things were finally looking up last month. I was feeling a bit better for once and managing to eat small amounts of other foods and get a little bit of sun and very light excersize. Additionally, I finally got a diagnosis of MCAS and I had some meds to try. I really felt like the end might be in sight. Then I developed a random mouth infection I think from a cut in my mouth from a hard piece of rice or a medicine tablet I split in half with a sharp corner and everything just went to shit.

The meds I had been taking that were minorly helping me now make me vomit and all the improvement is reversed and I lost more weight. I couldn't handle any of the 3 antibiotics I tried, one of them badly damaged my throat, started having chest pain and pressure again, started having more episodes of convulsions even without a food and it just feels like I was so close to escaping this 16 month hell but I narrowly missed my shot and now it's too late and I'm deteriorating too fast to try the new meds that may cure me. I'm also not sure if I actually finished off the infection entirely. The infection got mostly better and my fever is gone but it could come back with a vengeance and I don't know of any antibiotics I can actually handle if it does.

Theres also an operation that could help me a lot but I'm too weak for it to be safe. Sometimes it feels as if everything is designed to make me as close to having a chance of getting better as possible while always keeping it just out of reach. If literally one of like 50 things got better, it'd snowball and I'd probably end up either fine or at least much much better. Like if I could find one food with protein I could eat or one MCAS med that works, or if I could be strong enough for the operation, or if I could handle a larger multivitamin, or if I could handle exercise, or if I could handle anime or video games or reading. I'm just kept in this tiny bubble where everything I want is so close but I can't quite reach it.

I liked 3 the best too. Zaheer was a damn good villain, and it was great seeing all the adult characters go full power against them. It was also cool that they treated Korra's reaction to the climax very realistically.

Any favorite characters? I like Bolin, Tenzin and Jinora.

Latest scanlated Hero chapter has the current big bad (Warlander Emperor) showing up on the battlefield... and it's probably going to be another 10-15 chapters before Zero fights him >_> #WaitingIsTheHardestPart

Given all the talk of spirit pressure as well as the fact that Zero has effectively been out in the open this entire arc (ie, not hiding his identity), I'm guessing that this might be an actual battle rather than things seeming competitive because Zero giving himself a massive handicap. That said, despite the fact the series is over 200 chapters in (shorter chapters, mind you, since it's kind of a webtoon), it STILL seems too early for Zero to have a legit fight. That feels more like something that should happen when the series gets into its final arcs and this doesn't seem like it's going to end in the near future.

@YoukaiSlayer well, good to hear from you that you got a diagnosis. I worried about you when you had a bout of bad condition and didn't post for a while.
Unfortunately having a diagnosis isn't as good as it sounds here because it's almost certainly not the whole problem. I've actually got 3 diagnosis and even together they don't really explain all my symptoms. I've got MCAS (extremely rare allergy cell condition), cranial cervical instability (extremely extremely rare neck spine condition), and EPI (rare pancreatic condition). The thing is, it doesn't make sense for me to have any of those at my age and my symptoms are atypical. It's likely that I have some extremely rare (possibly unique) soft tissue problem that is causing my spinal discs to degenerate and those other strange issues. The thing is I don't have the common (relatively) tissue problem of EDS. I have no hypermobility (joints that bend further than they should) and my genetic markers don't indicate any other problem that they know of. Of course, the whole area is not well understood (because scientific research is handled in the dumbest way possible).

I really am a medical mystery which is somewhat vindicating from all the doctors that just said it was probably anxiety or something but at the same time, no one knows how to treat me. When I go to the hospital they say "I don't know what we can do for you" cause I can't tolerate any medication or IV fluids. When I go to the doctors they say "You're case is too complicated for me, I only deal with the common stuff". I have tests indicating something is wrong but no one understands what. Granted, it's not like they look very hard. I've had like 5 CT scans, all of the abdomen. Had several x-rays from doctors, all of the chest.

Like, they should just be scanning me head to toe and looking for anything unusual at this point but doctors won't do that for whatever reason and they waited too long so now weightloss has made everything significantly more dangerous. Most of the good information I do have like the spinal digital motion x-ray is something my mom found from doing a lot of research on the internet and scheduled herself. If I'd actually left it to the doctors I wouldn't have any of my diagnoses and I'd probably have starved to death by now. Like, if your condition isn't a common one, most doctors don't even try to figure it out, they just say "idk what it is, you should see someone else" but that "someone else" they refer you to is just going to say and do the exact same thing.

New anime season is so close. Sadly the yuri show doesn't start for like 10 more days. Still hoping to finish re:zero S2 but I probably need to take it much slower and watch like one episode a day. I still wonder why anime fucks me up but youtube is fine. The games that fuck me up also make no sense. I'm wondering if frame rate might actually be the deciding factor. Maybe I'll try watching some of my downloaded anime and see if that messes me up. Could just be the streaming sites aren't smooth enough. Then again music also fucks me up and in only like 3 minutes so I just don't know. It's all so weird.I guess having damaged spinal nerves and brainstem will do that.
