    Mash making a farce out of a bunch of self-serious wizards remained funny all the way up to the final boss imo. The weaker parts were when it focused on the side characters.

    Admittedly, the setup for the villains aren't as good as some better manga did, but the baddies got smug enough such that it's pretty satisfying for Mashle to no-sell the enemies' haymaker, spout a neat one-liner, and punch them to retirement.

    I'd imagine had it had better time to lay things out and shortened the whole bit by an arc it would've been an All-Timer. But I'm fine with what it was.

    Just read about something I never thought about in Dandadan (chapter 1/ep 1 early spoilers)
    I've always thought Momo's abilities were awakened by the aliens, but there is an alternative read that says the aliens really accidentally gave her powers and her lineage just amplified it? So that her mysticism-fangirling / sci-fi powers contrast against Okarun's alien-fanboying / yokai powers.

    I still believe the easier explanation - she's always had it in her - but it's kinda neat if the mangaka intended that juxtaposition

    My favorite thing about Dorohedoro is seeing where people think the story is going.

    I'm like 10 chapters in and because of who's it influenced im assuming that all goes to shit soon and then I'm left going

    I got 3/4 of the way through reading Dorohedoro, got side tracked for months, tried picking back up, and had no goddamn idea what was going on anymore. I'm just going to have to start reading over again from the beginning which is not a bad thing because it's really good.

    Q Hayashida's current/ongoing series Dai Dark is also good too.

    Dai Dark has not done it for me. Dorohedoro built this whole world and community. 2 worlds in fact! But dai dark just feels kinda empty. They go to planets and there's just nothing there.

    Last night AniMenagerie had a special presentation, only for one night, to sample some shows.

    The shows chosen?
    -- Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu
    -- Deca-Dence
    -- Sakura Wars: The Animation

    And surprising none of the regulars of AniMenagerie, every single one of them just wasn't my bag.

    But I will compliment Deca-Dence for just fuckin' going for it. That's a show that, every 3 minutes, following the 1st episode, I just kept saying some variety of this:

    So I've been going back through the One Piece anime (dubbed this time) as a bit of lunchtime watching/background noise and I just watched an episode that proves that I'm just as big a sap now as I was almost two decades ago when I saw it for the first time.

    "Say, when do you think a person dies?"

    Fuuuuuuuuck still can't get through that episode with dry eyes.
    And somehow every time I forget about Ave Maria playing in the background until it shows up and wrecks my composure.

    Solo Leveling episode 2... it's no longer incoherent if you pick it up... but I still recommend waiting for episode 3 to come out before giving it a try. I've honestly not seen something like this in a long time. Usually the three episode rule isn't talking about the basic conceit of the show, but in this case...

    It took a lot of searching to find that specific progression of three shows. Starting with a mecha series spinoff where they flat out say the mecha will not be appearing. Then a show with a bizarre robot related twist that is still not a mecha show. Ending with one where the mechs show up almost instantly...but are barely taller than a person. And also the show is way more interested in introducing girls and having a theater performance.

    Oh that.
    That's more a continuation of the existing power creep adventures to me, but I guess I can see how you'd think that's a "start". I disagree but that's fine.

    don't predict. don't make expectations. just ride that ride

    I disagree. Predict. Be wrong. Be gloriously wrong.

    Dorohedoro was written in a way I'm still 80% certain even the author couldn't predict what direction it was going to go next at any given time.

    Tsukimichi episode 2
    It's really evident just how much of a manipulator the Goddess is when she's able to perfectly identify how to hook each of the two heroes by giving them what they think they want. And she alters her appearance for both of them as well to aid in this.

    The girl is still salvageable in terms of personality and corruption from the society of this world, but the guy is a lost cause considering his Eye of Mystic Roofie and how he sees the the world along with everyone in it.

    hey so you got anymore of that, uh, Apothecary Diaries

    Hell yeah we do! There are, so far, 14 published volumes of the light novel. (FYI, the first 12 eps of the anime covered volume 1.) The English versions of volumes 1 to 9 can be found on J-Novel Club, Amazon, Nook, Kobo, iBooks and Bookwalker. J-Novel Club are also translating them in a linear fashion: they publish a part of the volume they're currently translating every Friday. Volume 10 was finished 2 weeks ago and will be released on the 18th of this month, and now they're on part 2 of volume 11.

    If you prefer to consume Maomao's Paper-White Delight in a more processed form, you're in luck! There's 2 manga adaptations: a bland one that no one feels like fanlating, and one that's illustrated by Nekokurage and from which the anime draws its visual design. It's on Square-Enix's Manga Up app. It's got all 68 currently published chapters, with a new chapter releasing monthly. That manga also has a fanlation on mangadex, but it stopped near the end of chapter 67. You can also google "apothecary diaries manga latest chapter" if you want to not deal with Squeenix's coin shop. So far, there's been 20 manga chapters for every volume of the LN.

    Finally, the latest episode adapted chapters 23 and 24 of the manga, and the latest chapter adapted chapter 5 of volume 4 of the LN.

    OK, that should be all. Don't stay up too late! :wink: (Or do, I'm not your dad.)

    I recently learned of the existence of a Magic the Gathering manga, titled Destroy All Humans, They Can't Be Regenerated.

    It's pretty good.

    To be clear, it is about people in the real world that play MtG. Unlike the American MtG comics, which is about the world of MtG.

    Only one chapter of Call of the Night left. Still not sure how it's going to end.

    I just hope they don't do...

    Oh, I read a chunk of that, it's a fun little romance between two gigantic MtG nerds, cute stuff.

    Stopped getting updated by the scanlator I was following, sadly. I should check if someone else has picked it up, because I do not believe this thing is getting any kind of official release.
