Watched first episodes of Hige wo Soru and Yakunara Mug Cup, Hige wo Soru looks like it could end up being a manga or even LN read depending on where the story goes.

Yeah, other than the concept, the powers, and some of the art, it never seemed all that great. The storytelling was so-so, the characters were mostly unremarkable (Anna was the only one that kinda seemed a little different, although even then she was mostly just two or three tropes rolled into one character), and there wasn't a whole lot going for it. It just felt like another generic shonen.

The ending was apparently kinda neat, though.

Shaman King, both the anime and the manga, seemed to disappear into the shounen explosion of the early '00s. Perhaps the new anime will be to SK what the second anime of Hunter X Hunter was to that manga (... except complete)?

Retro Crush added Acrobunch, meaning that I can retire my French fansubs after fourteen years.

And it is hard to believe that I live in a time where JJBA can realistically be expected to have all of its sagas animated.

Since theres nothing good to watch this season yet I've been watching Dr Stone S2 that I didn't watch when it aired. It's still pretty good but I feel like the first season was better. There's much less of a focus on science progression and a lot more focus on the conflict which is decent but just not as good IMO. Still good enough to make me want to keep watching though.

After having seen the quality of the first episode, I highly doubt it. I expect to it flop entirely.

Completed Dr Stone S2. It was decent. The bad guys were kinda lame and I think the show was a lot better in season 1 when it was more about turning sticks and rocks into cool science over the course of several episodes. In this one they pretty much already have any materials they need so they just zoom through shit in like 2 seconds.

I'm not, but I found out that they interviewed Gura the other day.

Here's a link to the english translation.

Nothing really groundbreaking or anything new, just more shark cuteness, and I wanted to share it with you guys.

OVERDRIVE's magnum opus, spiritually in the same series as Deardrops and Kirakira, but apparently extremely fuckin good. released in eng 15 mins ago

they aren't making any more VNs after this one (you might know them from Dengeki Stryker, Edelweiss, and Go Go Nippon). by the way, overdrive owns mangagamer. publishing vns is probably just a lot more profitable than actually making them, i guess

Watched episode 1 of saints power which seems like a shojo. It's ok I guess. Will probably keep watching because nothing else good this season. Also watched the newest spider episode and it was fun. It's probably the best currently airing thing so far. Hopefully the new stuff starting over the next 6 days is better because so far this season is disappointment.

Watched episode 1 of blue reflection ray and it was a lot more...abstract, than I was expecting. I can't decide how much I like it yet but it has some yuri vibes to it that are ensuring I will watch at least another episode to find out. Basically magical girls vs magical girls and everyone has swords.

I suspected I would but I quite enjoy max level witch. It's more yuri-ish than I expected which is wonderful. Also I feel like the witch looks a lot like haachama even though they act totally different.

Also watched the first episode of tokyo revengers and it's fine. Needs more time to really start and see what the show is gonna be like.

Man, I hate harem protagonists that fool around with other women while they have someone they like/are dating, and are still supposed to be considered the good guy. (Like the douchebag in Virgin na Kankei that messed with tons of other girls with no repercussions whatsoever.)

I've been reading an otherwise fantastic manga called Hetakoi. A great and adorable little romance about a guy falling for a girl in his club in college; it's pretty realistic and enjoyable from both guy and girl perspective. The mangaka has serious chops; it's a real shame that she passed away a few years ago.

Anyway, after over twenty chapters and just when it seemed like they were going to get together, there's one little misunderstanding and the dude suddenly goes and bangs someone else. I mean granted, he was convinced that their relationship was over so it wasn't malicious, but he had every opportunity to try and clear up the situation. It wasn't ill intent so much as stupidity. But either way it put a damper on the enjoyment.

Got back to re-reading some Det Conan. The story where a woman claiming to be Conan's mom shows up was even stupider than I remembered since I remembered the twist. Actually, a *lot* of these earlier stories have terrible mysteries given how contrived they are (although the museum one seemed kinda okay?)

Ugh theres a few shows that I don't know what to call.

Childhood friend wins might be the most incel thing I've ever seen. Dude legit is out to get revenge on a girl for...dating someone. That's it. He out here ranting and raving and plotting revenge because she has a boyfriend. He didn't ask her out by the way, he has done literally nothing except talk to her a few times over the course of 2 years, where she was relatively nice to him and thats it. I kinda like childhood friend though. She is thirsty AF and manipulative as hell which is at least kinda funny. No idea why she is after main guy since he is just kind of an annoying jerk but whatever.

Also saw Hige wo Soru, both episodes. I like it but it's clearly ramping up for some love triangle bullshit which I hate. I feel sorta bad for the main guy. I almost feel like he never really had a choice. Like, you can't really just leave some teenager out on the street on a cold night and then if she has nowhere to go and plans to basically whore herself out to strangers for a place to stay you can't really just let that happen and then all of sudden you are housing some runaway teenage girl which is not a good look, all because he didn't want to effectively leave someone to die. Like, if I was in his shoes, I'd probably end up doing the exact same thing and end up ruined over it.

Watched episode 1 of slime slice of life. It's pretty much exactly what you would expect. A fair bit of comedy compared to like an iysashiki but I think that suits it better.

Also watched episode 2 of saints power and I'm kinda surprised how much I like it. It's like the femine version of the OP isekai hero. Instead of having powerful combat abilities, she has powerful cooking, nursing, and cosmetic making abilities but to such a degree that it's sort of hilarious. Also I see the vague hints at a girl being added to sei's harem. Would love another bi harem show like villainess.

she's not as incredibly passive like a lot of others in the genre are (thinking of stuff like the barrier magic one), and she redirects her focus in a pretty positive manner after the summoning

So I've been thinking and since tomorrow is the last day for the Atelier Ryza sale, and I'm gonna bite the bullet and get it. It's at an all time low of 50% off, and there's no way of knowing when the next sale is gonna be or if it will go lower.

Thinking of getting the Digital Deluxe edition since it's only like an extra $6, and I have some Nintendo coins about to expire that should cover it.

Never played ANY of the games in the series, so what should I expect from this game? Any items I should be hoarding early on or so?

time limits are not a concern in modern Atelier games (Rorona had a kind of strict time limit, Totori had an easier time limit, and everything after either has no time limit or its pathetically easy), so don't worry about time at all

you don't have to minmax, but you also don't have to hoard all the shitty stuff you're harvesting. absolutely feel free to play around and just make shit. as you progress in the game you'll get better stuff with better traits that can be used in more recipes

try to get good quality and traits onto commonly used stuff. one early game "loop" is making traveler's water orbs, zettel, and synthesizers. you can slap quality up traits onto everything and keep pumping the quality up by using synthesizers to make zettel, zettel to make water orbs, and excess water orbs to make more water orbs, then finally use the last water orbs to make synthesizers. this should give you an idea of how you can exploit the crafting system like it wants you to. make stuff really well and you can even add extra traits onto stuff, letting them be used in a wider variety of stuff!

oh yeah, and the reason quality is important is that for equipment you get extra stats and for usable items they gain extra power. the game kinda sucks at communicating that

The only real complaint I have with ryza (and presumably earlier titles but I haven't played them) is that even on hard the battle difficulty is way too low to necessitate really abusing the alchemy system. The games are a ton of fun though.

I started watching a streamer for the first time recently. I never really saw the appeal before, but I guess I just never found the right series. Kingdom Hearts is by its nature a nostalgia bomb even for newcomers, so it was fun watching Dee Bee Geek play it for the first time and nerd out over all the Disney and Final Fantasy characters (and lose his absolute shit at Sephiroth), plus all the charm and mystery or the first game.
