    Yeah, there's a difference between "gets scared" and "is a coward", and Usopp is the former.
    The fact that he openly throws hands with Luffy over the Merry Go makes that point abundantly clear.

    We finally watched JJK s2 and while I avoided all the spoiler tag conversation here I caught enough to glean


    (spoilers/question beyond anime point)
    do they really not go into the fallout from Shibuya after this?

    from like a basic storytelling standpoint... how

    it seems impossible to think about offhand comments i've seen saying the manga just moves on. Those events were both public, world changing, and devastating to most of the cast.

    Yes and no? There's still fall out from the Incident, but what Geto puts into play afterwards is so pressing that no one has much time to think about it anymore.

    Oh this is cool

    Folks from the GunPla thread may remember Twitter user Vaadu, who last year was catching attention for their multiple Witch from Mercury cosplay suits, (including both of Aerial’s Specs and the Michaelis)

    Cygames actually reached out to them prior to the premier and

    Well

    [spoilered for those who haven’t heard Bravern’s twist yet]
    they made a full on Bravern suit for the premier screening event:

    Fucking LOL on Bang Bravern. I had to go back to the site to check that myself and then go back to the Wayback Machine to see what it was a week ago.

    But yes. The first like 19 minutes of the episode was like it advertised itself. A 'serious' kind of Independence Day, with mechs. And then
    A fucking toy robot appears out of nowhere, corny 80s music kicks in at full blast, and all of a sudden all the seriousness goes out the window and it's all super robot poses.

    It is so fucking glorious, I love it.

    Now for someone to license this show or come on.

    It would also appear that Bravern himself is singing the theme; the ID3 tags for the digital release (CD is out in a few months, but you can get the digital versions off Japanese music storefronts right now) notes that it’s Suzumura as Bravern singing.

    Cygames is such a weird anime producer. Half their shows are just to advertise their soulless gacha (Granblue, Uma Musume), while the other half seem to be throwing a chunk of money at some random person and telling them to make whatever the fuck they feel like (Bang Bravern, Marginal Service, Zombieland Saga). With the occasional crossover (Princess Connect, Rage of Bahamut).

    To be fair, Hunter Exam was a bunch of sociopaths murdering each other mostly because the exam makers wanted it that way to join their club and be a Hunter at all, regardless of what they intend to do. Frieren's 1st Class Mage exam is explicitly to get permission to go fight the meanest demons in their home turf, so they want to see someone will be worth the extra resources and won't die so easily, while all the non-sociopathic mages can steer clear while doing their own thing like research and teaching.

    The idea of Frieren having to do a mage exam is very funny to me considering she's over 1000 years old and has literally created new-ish magic as well as leant an absurd amount of magic

    I'd imagine maybe one or two are gonna be around at all close to this exam thing. I can see one on whatever council oversees this, at least. But yeah it sounds like there's not a lot of elves around and even fewer who mix with the rest of society much

    Nice bit of background detail implied but not outright stated in today's Frieren
    In the time of the party of heroes vs the Demon King, mages were a dime a dozen. Because the need for magical offense and defense was omnipresent, anyone with any talent was pressed into service. But recall Frieren's assumption when she refused to train Fern at first, any mage paired with her would be killed very quickly as a matter of course. Basically, most of those mages didn't know what they were doing and therefore a huge amount of them died, a pattern Frieren became hardened against. In the current peace time though, mages have been allowed to grow, train, and learn instead of being thrown into the fire headfirst on day one. This upcoming arc will show how that has allowed the bench of competent mages to develop in a way it didn't back in the time of her previous quest.
