    Tsukimichi S2 Episode 6
    Covered a surprising amount of material in this one by leaving out some of the nuances from the manga, but I'm fine with it since that's the nature of an adaptation and it didn't really change the overall context of those plot scenes.

    Though one change I did wonder about was how Tomoe remarked that the Hero could learn something from Makoto in regards to not leering at women. In the manga she says that the Hero's lust was one thing Makoto could learn from, as it showed a panel where Tomoe is exposing some skin and Makoto is utterly unfazed because

    They also made him much more...open I guess in the anime when he commented that "those two" aka Tomoe and Mio would be better marriage partners than people seeking his money/power, whereas in the manga he is adamant about those two basically being like sisters to him.

    Next episode I'm looking forward to since it involves a whole lot of humble pie being force fed to people who need it.

    Is good, I like it and want more. Between this, Dungeon Meshi, and Frieren I get a solid slate of anime this season.

    Kind of hard to have a story about imperial court intrigue and not talk about all the ugly shit that entails

    Yeah I mean the story knows it's awful, but for the characters it's life as normal.

    I don't think every fictional world needs to be read as the author endorsing said world.

    Marriagetoxin chapter 77
    It's always seemed at least hopeful that Kinosaki would be the "winner" in the end -- I'm not sure if this chapter means that's more or less likely, to be honest, but, I mean, come on, it's pretty obvious he's the best.

    Ehhhhh. There are a lot of parts of it that have a very rosy view of sexual slavery and various other human rights violations, which are definitely Bad Anime Things™ that anime in general struggles with. It's not SO bad about it as like, isekai with all their good child harem wife slave owners, but it is another case of good child wife slave owners. A lot is so needless too, like trying to be all dreamy over their interactions and then Jinshi will casually mention that he personally had the culprit from a week or two ago's entire extended family rounded up and executed when it could have just... said nothing at all. Thanks for the reminder of the war crimes being committed here, guys. I need that in the story as much as I'd need James Herriot bringing up how many cows he shoots in the face.

    it's not a "rosy view", it's an acceptance from the characters of the class and power structures in feudal not-China-but-clearly-China

    yeah, apothecary diaries its absolutely not trying to say anything is good about this, especially the second season/cour
    like, maomao is literally emotionally numb outside of her joy of apothecary stuff because of the circumstances of her birth and growing up surrounded by that world. she wants a little to do with that as possible outside of her commitments and debts she has to pay back.

    having caught up with the manga in line with the anime, I'm really disappointed the show cut showing maomao's literal DEATH STARE at being asked to meet with her biological father down to basically a jump scare frame in the episode. in the manga, its nearly a full page of her just looking at Jinshi in response to that request with a face that could maybe kill someone out of shock and pure scorn.

    Question about most recent episode (18):
    Is Maomao's mother the courtesan that she was taking care of who had syphilis? Or has her mother not been revealed yet?

    The one thing that the light novels have done so far that's actually annoyed me is depict tiger penis actually working as an aphrodisiac.

    I'd say there are actually quite a few, though the standard is definitely not so much dismantling them as using them to set themself up as the benevolent ruler of the existing power structure. I think it's more common in the older Sliders style of isekais like Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle where they pop into a new world, oops it's all fucked up, kill whatever the corrupt king is, and then fuck off to the next one. You could also make the argument that the brief fad of nation building isekai things from five or so years back are sort of this, usually with the title of like "A Regular Guy With Regular Modern Knowledge Rebuilds the Kingdom," but they're universally awfully written and are almost always just a guy popping in to go "Hey, maybe stop being so racist and invest in infrastructure instead of gold statues of the king." And then everybody claps and it reverts right back to the dude being the benevolent ruler of the existing regime.

    E:
    I guess a lot of the more recent villainess stuff probably could be called the same as well.

    I loved the in-between-season interviews where they all talk about the process.

    This is where I found out about the artist's second goal: make everyone buff. The men? Yes. The women? Yes. The orcs and peasants? Double yes. Everyone gets a share of the beef.

    The fact that he and the writer are both on the same wavelength is great to see in a collaborative work.

    my complaint was
    jinshi should have enough awareness at this point to know that this is a question he shouldn't ask and would either word it to preemptively reassure maomao he's on her side / make it clear that he knows the answer but he 'has to ask'.

    I've gotta know, is the ridiculously long title an inside joke to see how far they can go? How do you even fit that in a legible form on a cover.

    As for why? Probably at attempt to make it stand out. It was a trend in Japanese porn to have ridiculously over-long descriptive titles well before LNs picked up on it, though maybe that's just LNs adopting what works in a saturated market.
