    the final few extra episodes post-the final battle that destroyed the surface of earth kind of suck yes, they did not originally intend to make them but the show was such a hit they were asked to do a continuation. So the resolved love triangle suddenly becomes unresolved again and just feels extremely forced.

    Random musing about the Anime of Jojo Part 6, in final episode.
    It still feels weird to me that they played the Stardust Crusader theme over Emporio's final speech to Pucci. Like that theme had been pretty clearly associated as Jotaro's theme, hence its groovy lofi remix in Part 4, but giving it to Emporio felt like they were trying to make it a pan-Jojo theme at the last minute and it didn't work, though the sudden stop as the universe reset kinda did.

    The use of Roundabout at the end was way more effective as such a trick.

    Macross 7 is all about how much better Basara is at everything compared to every other character, including Mylene. I'm honestly surprised she made it on there next to him.

    It seems more likely the adventure and Dungeon Meshi are both drinking from the same influences. Ryoko Kui has not been shy about saying how much she fucking loves Wizardry and the old Baldur's Gate games and the like.

    There's a mad archmage at the bottom of the dungeon.
    Be it Zagyg Yragerne (Castle Greyhawk),
    or Halaster Blackcloak (Undermountain),
    or Werdna (Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord),
    or the Wizard of Yendor (Rogue)...
    Let's just say that it's an idea with a long and storied history behind it, and Ryoko Kui might've gotten it from... anywhere, really. Probably some Wizardry-like? It cannot be overstated just how hugely influential Wizardry was in Japan, it's kind of amazing. (Here's a fun YouTube video essay on Wizardry's influence.)

    But yeah, Kui's into fantasy RPGs to no-one's great surprise.

    The joke in the fandom (that I think has also already been made in these anime threads) is that Baldur's Gate 3 came out in August, and then Dungeon Meshi ended a month later in September so she would have more time to play it.

    Dartmouth basketball voted to unionize, which I'm sure Hedgie will be posting in the Fuck the NCAA thread as soon as he gets access to a computer.

    And in your reminder that academia are some of the most anti-labor motherfuckers around, Dartmouth tells the players "fuck you", refuses to negotiate with the union:
    Dartmouth will not enter into collective bargaining with the union its men’s basketball players voted to join earlier this month, the school said Monday in a move that could send the case to federal court.

    In a statement announcing its refusal to bargain a labor deal with the athletes, the school was adamant that it believes “athletes in the Ivy League are not employees."

    A regional director of the National Labor Relations Board ruled last month that Dartmouth basketball players were employees, clearing the way for them to vote to join the union.

    @darunia106 Please resize that, it's impossibly huge. (Though less ofa n issue now we're on a new page).

    I'd actually be very curious what the schedule for monthly manga creators looks like vs the sheer fucking insanity that is weekly manga creator's schedules.

    I know on the western side of things the "Monthly, but it's full color" is not any where more sustainble than "Black and white, b ut it's weekly". Black and White monthly, Color every three months seems a lot healither - or Saga style where they do six months on, six months off type thing.

    From what I understand, it's a bit more sane (you're expected to produce more pages, but not that much more, and you have more time to do so), which is one of the reasons most of the charting "Shonen Jump" titles are from their bi-weekly/monthly ancillaries.

    Honestly, at this point the weekly model is unsustainable.

    It’s the hunger games of Job fields. Academia is one of the most toxic fields around. Your entire career is based on 1 person, and if you say fuck you im doing something else you have to “start over” and you lose years of time. Unless you get published on something, which often requires that person adding you to their paper.

    Hunger Games combined with musical chairs as jobs disappear and PhD programs continue to produce way more degrees than there are academic jobs.

    And in the fields where they actually have needs, many people who would get a phd is like fuck that noise I’ll get a masters and go into the private sector/government.

    Academia: Hey engineer program person would you like to spend 5 years getting a phd while we make your life shit and force you to work for 10 bucks an hour as an intern.

    Chemical engineer: can I spend 2 years get a masters and get a fat salary working elsewhere?

    Academia: yes

    The law school situation is crap, but at least it's theoretically possible to just pass the bar and hang out a shingle. A fair chunk of PhD programs' endpoints are either academia or something you could have been doing five years ago when you had a lot fewer grey hairs.

    These kind of decisions would be made more by the administration types then the academics though. At least in my experience. It's not the department heads in arts or sciences or whatever making the call on student athlete unionization. This just seems like more standard C-suite thinking to me.

    Also my experience is grad/TA/etc unions are alive and well and go hard.

    Did the first one ever get a dub?

    The TV series covered the first five novels, and the first movie covered the sixth and seventh novels. This looks to be covering the eighth and ninth novels.
