    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.

    You might think that, but given how awful the world of HxH is to live in....they were setting reasonable goals for people to meet to get a license.

    If anything I think the more dangerous a world is, the less restrictive it should be in terms of entry levels into organizations that are akin to adventurer guilds. Because the world's already dangerous so clearly it would be much better to properly train as many people as possible in hopes some will survive and grow. The world of HxH may be dangerous, but in my opinion the Hunter Association itself is a big reason why it's such a shit world to live in.

    According to Masami Obari, what Isami said was improvised by the voice actor.

    Hunter X Hunter is a world where thousands of people will go watch a deathmatch, one of the fighters will start turning the spectators into puppet bombs, and people will continue to simply watch and cheer. It is a silly place.

    I think as strong with as Frieren is it's probably best to take her word for it that there are people who could take her in a fight, and not even people who are, quote "better mages." Like eleven people beating her in a fight is not a lot but the only time we know she's gotten into a bunch of fights before this is the ten years she spent adventuring in the hero's party.

    Well, at least one of those "losses" her opponent ended up sealed still. I don't think she has a lot of competition in pure power, she's emphasizing that she can be beaten with technique. Anyone trying to overpower her with magic... well, we know how that ends already.

    I assume some of those losses came in the distant past too. (Flamme is probably one of them, and maybe a couple others from that time frame)

    I think the series has made it clear it's okay to trust Frieren's words. She's a straight shooter.

    Also already have a theory, and seen it echoed by one other person online so far, for Bravern:
    I have no idea how far a shot I’m calling with this, but it immediately struck me that Bravern is, somehow, Lewis turned into a Giant Super Robot, with some kind of time travel shit involved (my guess is an alternate timeline resulting from what would have happened if Bravern hadn’t shown up to cut down the tower)

    Despite the fact that Isami is the pilot, and so you’d think the viewpoint character, it’s Lewis who gives the intro and outro narration, and is entirely about how all his life what he wanted to be was a hero, an ally of justice (the latter being given directly over a shot of Bravern gently floating back down to the surface).

    And plus Bravern shows up in the knick of time to save Isami from taking a blast head on, and knows his name, telling him his wait is over.

    When I watched it originally, it was "Sogeking, make that flag burst into flames." (Or disappear. I think it's been lost to the internet).

    I feel like there's currently one more 24 episode season's worth of material for spy X family to adapt after the current season, or approaching that much. The manga is still ongoing without seeming like it's wrapping up so unsure how long it will run.

    I stuck around and read Mashle up and and including the ending (and the new post-ending chapter), but it's... very much a one-joke comedy.
    Well, to be fair, it's got a handful of jokes. One or two per character, usually. But it keeps reusing them and never does anything particularly interesting with its premise.

    One Punch Man tries to do satire about awful workplaces and Mashle tries to do serious stuff about accepting minorities, but unfortunately Mashle just doesn't land it as well as it could.

    I do respect a manga that ends, though.

    One joke comedies are good actually.

    Sometimes simple is best.

    I liked Mashle all the way to the end because it was good, and that's that really. None of this "oh but if you do a deep analysis on its comedic value" it's fucking Mashle this isn't Shakespeare. Sometimes you just wanna lol at the punchy man.
