    Frieren is very passive against someone who either can't actually harm her or she thinks she can dissuade from attacking her further.

    That said, I don't think she'd hold back against someone willing to harm her for malicious reasons. When she originally said she's lost to human mages before, that indicates there's been more fights with humans than just those losses.

    Decided to give this Solo Leveling anime a chance.

    It's pretty entertaining in a turn your brain off kind of way and sometimes that's all you need a show to be.

    Solo Leveling feels like it wants to be One-Punch man but without any of the charm.

    Like, "Here's a guy who's so badass nothing can stop him."

    But without the humor behind it, it's just kind of boring.

    I don't really get that at all. One Punch Man is a action comedy that asks what if you played a gag manga protagonist somewhat straight(but not really).

    Solo Leveling is like someone was given the money to take their teenage OC fanfic and make it into a show. Which can also have its own kind of charm imo. And unlike say SAO the protagonist is pretty okay at least so far.

    I get the feeling Patches would not be able to evade Frieren for long if he deliberately tried to set her up like that. She wouldn't even chase him, just follow his every move like a persistence predator.
    On the other hand I feel like whenever she did reach him it would turn into a comedy bit where Patches bamboozles her with some obvious trap and gets away again.

    Yet another mimic would probably work just as well the as the first one

    Yeah Araki has stated that he actually loves dogs, so he uses dog murder as the sign of a truly heinous villain.

    Unless you're Warren Ellis, who hates dogs, which is why they're subject to a lot of abuse in his works. Which may have been a clue to him turning out to be a shit person.

    Eiji Masuda, author of my favorite romcom of all time (Jitsu Wa, Watashi Wa/My Monster Secret), has a new manga coming out. It's about the passengers on a commuter train, who observe a high school boy and girl who are obviously crushing on each other but can't quite bring themselves to speak to each other. It looks like gold.

    Araki's favorite shorthand for "this person is a bastard" is animal abuse.

    It's fun that in Battle Tendency Kars actually saves a dog, proving he truly is a superior lifeform.

    Watamote manga chapter ch. 220.2
    this gag lol, mako easily the most socially intelligent person in the cast
    u6iobriunf2e.png

    I like how Mako's always been a bit of the codependent friend, and now that she's trying to spend more time with someone else her friends are like, "Dang, why's Mako being such a jerk?"

    Well, codependent might be a bit strong, but she's always been the friend who puts more energy into taking care of her friends than her friends put into taking care of her. And now she's doing that with Yoshida too, but at least Yoshida is nice enough to notice when Mako's doing something nice for her. And with Yoshida it seems more like an actual crush, which complicates things a lot.

    Yuri's really loyal to the few folks she considers her people, but then she just wants everyone to stay the same forever. She kinda ends up treating Mako like crap a lot of the time!

    I don't watch an enormous amount of anime so I may be just off-base here, but is it A Thing for some OPs to crowbar in a bunch of sound effects deep into the show's runtime? Stardust Crusaders has done it right before the Egypt Arc and I remember the Digimon reboot doing this too.

    I read the first 10 chapters of Girl Meets Rock! on mangaplus and it's surprisingly charming

    I was expecting more of a K-on vibe with cute girls doing music and getting along, but instead so far it seems like it's going for more of a Skip & Loafer sorta story, with more grounded, coming-of-age type drama.

    Also surprisingly queer so far, one girl's ace/aro and is pretty explicit about it, one older girl mentions a same sex crush, and the main character is definitely giving off some gay vibes. Nice to see that kinda thing casually popping up in a non-romance series without having to drown it in subtext or making it cutesy.

    Think of it this way, by waiting to read through the first two until you've finished Billy Bat you'll have even more chapters of Frieren to enjoy later. Dungeon Meshi is complete so it's not going anywhere.

    The whole vicarious audience insert characters stuff in fluffy romcoms is always funny.

    I kinda love how in the Uzaki-chan manga not only literally everyone can see it, but you have multiple characters discussing whether they should egg it along or adopt a Prime Directive approach and just observe.
