    Eh, he's one of the best characters and his development is fantastic. He goes from absolute bastard to, well, a good person. It's one of the best things the series pulled off

    Shh they're just starting the series
    honestly I ended up sort of sympathetic to guel but I still kind of hate him for how much of a shithead he is in the first episode. I don't think they did a good job writing his recovery from being a shithead arc, just traumatized the fuck out of him instead of writing an organic-feeling growth of empathy.

    Heavy disagree. It's that Oglaf comic about Odysseus.

    I started watching Witch from Mercury and I know that all the Gundam worlds are pretty fucked up, but this school is super fucked up. Child soldiers, but also duels and the duels happen in the middle of places that students are walking for some reason?

    Gundam gives the MCU a run for it's money on hellscapes I'd never want to live in.

    Oho, just you wait, it gets so much worse.

    Yeah, I've only watched the first episode (well, and E0 which is annoying for discussions) and the first duel is definitely in what amounts to the street.

    The art is defintely not a strong point, sadly. It's not bad, I've seen worse,but i'm not going to be giving it any wawards either. I will say it's at least energetic, whcih is something i value - It's got a sense of oomf and characters being vibrant, it's not sterile.

    For whatever its worth, while Undead Unluck artstyle never becomes amazing, I feel like the author is very good at panel composition, allowing him to create some very memorable moments because of that.

    I am not a type of person that usually takes notice of suck things, but UU has at least 2 of my favourite big panels that I have ever seen while reading comic books through my entire life.

    The first three volumes of the Kindle version of the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess manga are on sale for Cyber Monday (in the US at least) if that was a series you were interested in getting into. They're only $1.99 each. The remaining volumes after that range from $6.49 to $6.99 each (there are 11 volumes total).

    Scrolling through my Amazon Wishlist it doesn't look like any others are on sale.

    I started watching Apothecary Diaries! I find it somewhat amusing and somewhat discomforting how quickly the show goes through the premise of Maomao having been kidnapped and sold.

    She's a very amusing protagonist though, and I love the whole cat joke with her

    In general the manga is extremely matter of fact about how incredibly fucked up shit can be, especially for women. Like there's never any dwelling on it, no fetishistic violence or whatever going on - simply Maomao being very open about it and very inured to it all, like it was all Tuesday.

    yeah it reads as very deliberately discomforting, but not in a way that needs to linger

    fucking love Jinshi. shit like "if it helps I can come inside" are just hilarious localisation choices

    Latest Apothecary Diaries episode
    I do hope that little girl manages to eventually successfully kill that rich guy and get away with it, since Maomao ruined that for her.
    In the manga, he gets banned from all the brothels in the district.

    It's not death, but there's some comeuppance

    Latest AD (Unrelated)
    I love how she's doing a noir monologue just after the conclusion of the case. If she wasn't a mad scientist, she'd be the archetypal jaded detective

    My brother and I tried Shangri-La Frontier, and we both started falling asleep midway through episode two. Does it get better? I’m fine dropping it for something else.

    It, uhm, it doesn't get worse if that helps lol. If you're bored with it, drop it like it's hot. The plot speed really hasn't changed up to episode 9. It's well drawn and animated and the opening theme slaps; but it's also not anything especially new in storytelling.

    I actually just started it earlier today and i've nearly finished ep 3. It's pretty fun! It's not anything like special or unioque, but it's nice to have a VR MMO... that's actually about gaming, and just... a well made game. It's fun!

    Yeah! That's been my takeaway from it too.

    I like it quite a lot but it's not been anything revamping the genre. It's almost like a slice-of-life anime, just with the video game being the bulk of the "life" if that makes sense.

    Yeah, it's chill, it's got a fun setting, and it actually cares about being a cool game - you can see why people would be into it. I even like the showing why someone would liek the trash games stuff, like in ep 4.

    Things are gonna get real heavy this arc arent they?

    Whenever they do a heavy anya past arc, is gonna be near the end. I wouldn't expect that one for a long time.

    I watched the first two reconguista in G movies and this sure is some tomino ass gundam. It’s gorgeous and the character work is great and the world background is just the most fucked up openly political scheming both between and within the major factions.

    The movie makes pacing weird. Because like ok I know a gundam show is required to have one fight per episode but in the movie it makes it feel like we land from one fight and “get ready we could be attacked at any time.”

    It is very funny to me that so far the major arc of the g-self itself is “we’re gonna keep strapping it to larger and more ridiculous backpack modules for one episode each”

    Turns out
    Turns out what Anya thought of as her name was simply the countries the children have been kidnapped from.

    She's from TransylvAnia.
