    Two more things about Dragon Ball: Curse of the Blood Rubies last night:
    • The Funimation dub cast Ladd Russo's voice actor for Oolong, and he mostly just did his Ladd Russo voice. It was an odd whiplash from earlier in this season of AniMenagerie.
    • Goku's attacks were wholly ineffective against the final boss, so Bulma beat him by herself.

    Still waiting for Bulma to be in Ultimate FighterZ.

    I mean the thing everyone remembers rental girlfriend for is it turning into total messy trash, and so they were like hey buddy, do it again but MORE

    I can't think of any greater waste of energy than getting worked up about a series that's entire selling point is, "Read me to find out if it really is this fucking stupid."

    Like, Rental Girlfriend was fluffy enough, with chapters that take about 35-60 seconds to read half the time, that I didn't mind a bit of hate-reading over the last year or so, but god damn I am not touching that new one with a ten foot pole

    They'd just make her like Videl and all of her attacks are calling out Goku. And I'm still irritated they did that to Videl when she is a legitimate fighter. Yes canonically she would explode the instant someone like Broly came within ten feet but in a fighting game power levels don't matter. Farmer with a Shotgun could be a top tier unit with the right kit.

    The other day I mentioned that I found out the dub voice for Holo in Spice and Wolf was also Mad Moxxi.

    I decided to google her again, and her name is Brina Palencia and I also found out that she's the main character in the dub of Zombie Land Saga...and she was the Song Director for the dubbed songs and she did the Lyric Adaptions for the songs. Damn.

    And Zombie Land Saga has a lot of songs, and all of them got dubbed for the English version.

    I will say that they establish Yamcha as the bare minimum a fighter has (in the game, Yamcha is the only person who doesn't have his power level nerfed)

    bulma could absolutely beat up yamcha

    it's really something how many writers look for like, a romantic taboo to center a love story around, tragic or comedic, and jump directly to incest

    just casually glancing at the old standby of "but they're from two different worlds!" and being like aha. but what if i did the exact opposite of that, i am very clever

    I wouldn't say the writing in demon slayer is terrible (or fantastic either) but it is a story that tells what it wants to tell, rips through it, and does not try to pad it out. I can respect that.

    Demon Slayer's story is not bad per se, but it is really noticeable sometimes that either Koyoharu Gotouge did not plan the events and worldbuilding in advance, or was just influenced by editors.

    When it comes to things I dislike about Mugen Train
    there is seriously zero foreshadowing for Akaza appearing, he just shows up after main threat of the arc is defeated, gets obsessed with Rengoku withing a minute of meeting him and kills him, instead of being organically introduced to the story

    When it comes to things I dislike about worldbuilding in general
    are we really supposed to belive that regular people are not aware of demons existence considering that Demon Slayer Corps are an established organization for God knows how long, demons are acting since at least thousand of years, and each demon needs to kill and eat as many people as possible to get stronger? Come on.

    Yeah, it's basically a paint-by-numbers shonen with some fun characters and outstanding animation, but it doesn't really try to reinvent the wheel, sadly.

    The thing is they dont all have to. Its perfectly ok to just have a decent representation of a - admit it - well loved cliche by this point.

    Sometimes an author just wants to write a ripper yarn.

    Also, if something has been made apparent by the discussion around Rent-a-Girlfriend over the last few months, is that he can't keep spinning his wheels forever and has to end that manga soon.

    On this week's Land of Leadale, our main character realizes that making a video game real means bodies are going to rapidly pile up. Most of the other isekai I've seen avoid this by mostly killing monsters, but this time she's got to deal with human bandits.

    I mean, she still killed a man she could've easily captured since she's ludicrously powerful in comparison, but she did feel bad about it.

    I think if Akaza were foreshadowed it'd ruin the whole "and now Rengoku dies" aspect of movie because we would -know- that them killing the train demon isn't the end. And also not everything needs to be foreshadowed.

    He remembers their first meeting well. (Chapter 98, which should show up in Season 3 in a couple of months.)

    with that and the soul resonance I was able to just hand wave it away as references
