It's funny i can't read a lick of Japanese but I can play those games just from memory so I did end up actually using them lol
The ones in a place akiba are gonna be picked over and a bit more pricey. I found a lot of good stuff in Osaka compared to some of the nerdy spots in Tokyo as well. Got both Jet Set Radio + Future there after looking all over for them
Super potato was pretty hyped up but the prices there seemed a bit higher for no reason. Got that impression from Mandarake but it depends on what you're looking at I suppose.
The SAL wants to keep the Benerit Group’s power in check (since as a corporate oligarchy their power clearly rivals that of the SAL, which we can assume is the Spacian democratic government), so their High Council has been pulling a CIA and aiding/enlisting/funding Dawn of Fold for deniable black ops purposes
Mandarake Nakano is the real goldmine, at least it was last time I went. Found a ton of great artbooks for dirt cheap(Danganronpa, Shikigami, Robotics;Notes, like $10 for all of them).
I found some good stuff at Akihabara Mandarake the last time I went but I was hunting for nendoroids.
their prices are usually decent but the real magic of Mandarake is just how abyssally deep their selection can run, and even for old and obscure stuff
THE ED IS COMING TRUE
I dont really feel that's true? even the reveals in this episode are working off stuff that's presented in show, no external references necessary
Just offhand, this is the factions as we know it, all from info presented in show:
Spoilers for latest episode.
Vanadis Institute: Orignator of GUND tech, intended to let humans survive in space.
Ochs Earth: Corporation, bought out Vanadis Inistatue and pivoted GUND tech towards military suit useage. Destroyed along with Vanadis 21 years ago by...
Cathedra: Auditing orginzationof the Mobile Suit Development Council (Which appears to just be the Benerit Group when it's putting on airs and playing ethical). Unclear what has happened to them/how much power they still wield - but the big three were Peil/Jeturk and Grassly, just like in Benerit.
Benerit Group: Businesses conglomerate of various corporations both cooperating and competing with each other. Grassly, Jeturk and Peil are the Big Three - but there are a ton of others who are members, including, notably, the Shin Sei Development Corporation
Peil technologies: One of the big three corps. uses AI to decide their leadership and seemingly, major decisions. rescued at least one Vanadis researcher and has been contuining GUND research.
Jeturk Heavy Machinery: Practically the top dog, to the point their leader felt confident making a play to assassinate the benerit group's leader. In dire straits since his death, has started building it's own Gundam after being blackmailed by Prospera.
Grassley: most Gund-phobic of the corporations. Actively recruits and reeducates earthian children to become part of their leadership, something that is backfiring currently with Shaddiq.
Shin Sei Development Corporation: Prospera's corperation. Mercury based, which is where Penet was orginally mined. VERY mysterious, there's a lot of questions about who's backing them and how for them to make not just one but two Gundams (Aerial and the Rebuild)
Asstica school of technology: Benerit group created/dominated school, used to perpuate their power structures.
Space Assembly League: seemingly the equivalent of the Spacian parliament in this setting. We dont know a lot about them - the big stuff we've learned is they ressurrected Ochs Earth or Salvaged Ochs Earth tech, and are backing...
Dawn of Fold: Earthian liberation terrorist organization. For the longest time how they had Gundams was a major mystery, till it was revealed that the SAL was backing them with Ochs Earth Tech.
That siad, remebering all of this/knowning all of this requires going back to the prolouge and having a pretty fine grained comb, due to the series breakneck pace.

Just ask Terra,
Demon Slayer this week:
Then in the end when Muichiro confronted the Upper Moon, the effects for the mist, the dynamic movement, the music composition and timing, and really everything about the scene was amazing in the way we've come to expect from this adaptation.
Demon Slayer is consistently awesome animation wise and I love it just for that reason.
It's really textbook by-the-numbers shonen stuff, but it's done with so much love that it's hard to be mad. No other studio would make something as mundane as two brothers arguing in a ramshackle shed look so engrossing and detailed.
Good Signs
Yup. It's an argument for studios to spend $$$ on animation quality as well.
Also as by-the-numbers as Demon Slayer is, the story is -tight.- Like there's not really a whole bunch of filler bullshit and something is always in motion.
Less joking, I will say WFM's depiction of "Earth is Hell" in this setting doesn't measure up to Code Geass or what I recently watched, the Psycho Pass movie. Not even to G Gundam in some ways. Too little time spent on it for us to really FEEL it, and no, a roof caving in on ONE kid isn't gonna get us there.
the mafia comes back, sort of
you're right that it needs more mafia. should have been golf mafia vs golf yakuza
