    huh, I totally thought Kazuma was like 20

    the romance angle is something where I've decided that in general, in KonoSuba it's best if everyone is so dysfunctional that no one fucks

    I don't mind the characters screwing around in context of the story or world, but it's not for the plot it's to sell creepy merch or whatever. That I do mind.

    I'm enjoying new JoJo on Netflix a ton.

    That said, I could have done without the child shower scene, Japan.

    Does anyone read/watch Radiant? It looked like fairly generic shonen on the Crunchyroll queue, but I found out recently the author and country of origin is French/France? How did it end up being a Japanese show?

    If you think that scene was bad, there's one later on that's even worse!*

    That explains a lot actually.
    I watch it. It's a pretty decent shounen show. Nothing groundbreaking, but enough to make it into my crunchyroll queue and stay caught up on it.

    I've been meaning to watch the '93 ova for awhile

    or should I just skip that and go straight to the one from a few years ago?

    the new ones by David Productions are better in basically every way

    also the 93 one only covers part 3

    the new anime goes from 1-5(the manga is close to finishing part 8 right now)

    I still kind of prefer the '93 version of the final fight, might just be nostalgia

    my first ever exposures to JoJo were memetic references to that scene from the OVA and the corresponding Capcom fighting game, so I basically knew jokes about Road Roller, WRYYFF, and Za WARUDO before anything else

    this was probably '04 or '05? so, long before all but the first Viz translations were released, and at that point in time JoJo was even so obscure I couldn't find bootlegs!

    late to the discussion here but when i was reading through the manga i had to skip Part 4 because at the time the only complete scanlation that existed was the infamous Duwang one

    I'm slowly reading it. The plot and world are very cliche and unexciting to me but the character designs and art quality are extremely appealing, so that's been keeping me going.

    For a very long while (like, as recently as 2014!) the only English translation of parts 4 and 5 was poorly done bootlegs from scans of the Chinese translations

    This led to some delightful changes like Morioh becoming the town of Duwang

    basically those old shitty bootleg translations are where a bunch of the real, real dumb Jojo jokes come from.

    although I feel slightly bad about making fun of them since apparently they were done by a chinese guy, who was translating from japanese to english, neither of which he was super fluent in.

    For those of you who care, I have now finished season 3 of Symphogear.

    Overall: Still good. That said:
    Ogawa and Genjurou do not get some time to shine this season. This makes me very sad. I love how Ogawa is gaining new random super powers every season and no one every comments on them. I wish they'd get some bad ass time.
    Carol's goals and such were too thin, imo, for a whole season. I also disliked the resolution of the bad dads plot. I'm kind of sad that Hibik's father is trying to make amends, but at least they show her mother not just buying in to it. If next season shows them trying to date again and some awkwardness and like trying to fix a broken home, then I'll be completely on board. Dr. Vers coming back for a short time just to die was silly.

    I am enjoying how our lil group keeps growing each season as we punch people and make friends.

    Haikyuu is quality wholesome sports with great leads and probably the best modern sports series after Ping Pong.

    In similar sports news, Days might be wrapping up? It's hard to tell, but it's been some real good soccer the last few months.

    I've been watching Bofuri. I think it's entertaining but not actually very good. The plot is very realistic to playing a video game. In that the players mainly concern themselves with leveling up against uninteresting enemies and compete in events which are fun to play but not that interesting to watch or hear about. It might be the most realistic video game anime I've yet seen, which is unfortunately not a compliment. It does not help that every level up montage is set to the same insert song. I don't mind the watch, it is relaxing considering how work and such has been going, but I wouldn't be able to recommend this to someone all that easily.

    The only important question is
    • six movies of ongoing or escalating (how, even?) relationship ambiguity ('the Symphogear')
    • ship sinking and/or death (did any important decision-makers leave or join the production team?)
    • canon (if you assume cowardice you can't be disappointed)

    The 30th anniversary was in 2018, and AFAICT this started development then. They also planned a special 30th anniversary rerelease of the tabletop RPG and a new novel.

    Still, though, that's rad and I'm definitely interested in getting it if it's any good.

    My favorite Haikyuu moment was in the match against the Ushiwaka, Top Spiker of Japan, who can probably murder old people with his spikes. The tactic they went with was "No, let's be realistic, you will not be able to stop him 100%; our tactic is to make it as annoying for him to get what he wants and Hunt That Ball down after we receive.*"
    *Until Tsukishima unleashes the trap he's been setting up the entire game and SHUTS. THAT. SPIKE. DOWN.

    The short silence afterwards, and Tsukishima's Moment afterwards, was fucking GOLD.

    "It's just one point. Just one out of 25. But when that moment arrives, that's the moment you're hooked."
