    https://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2022/01/30/manga-plus-releases-every-chapter-of-their-currently-serialized-works-for-free

    Manga plus is doing a thing for their third anniversary and has a bunch of series that can be read through once in a year’s time (in their app).

    There’s the big ones up there but you should absolutely read SpyxFamily for free. Kaiju #8 and Mashle are real good as well.

    I used this to catch up on Dr Stone. It seems to have been going at an extremely rapid pace lately. Probably
    to get to the moon as fast as possible, without it seeming completely unearned.

    The limitation of only being able to read each chapter once is pretty easily bypassed: just delete the app's data. Although that will also delete your favorites list and tracking of what you've read.

    They did Gyo.

    And it turns out that schlocky CGI land fish are... not so great.
    I'm not sure why they adapted Gyo of all things, it's definitely one of his sillier stories. Probably because it's more action-ey?

    Apparently there's an Uzumaki OVA in the works, hopefully it's decent.

    Last night on AniMenagerie, we started Season 4.

    Fate/Zero did a lot of setup while chat played "guess the Servant".

    Kill la Kill was like back when you were a kid and you went over to your friend Melissa's house. You head over to her room to play some Street Fighter II: Championship Edition on her Sega Genesis, but when you both open the door, you find that her younger brother has stripped naked every Barbie Doll she owns and scattered them all over the room. This isn't what you were here for, and while there are no nipples or anything it's still a little uncomfortable for everyone involved.

    My Hero Academia had all the voice actors. Including the actress I was recently talking about, Brina Palencia, who voices Holo in Spice & Wolf and Mad Moxxi in Borderlands. Here she voices....grape kid.

    The fact that the director was personally approved by Ito because Ito loved his work on the infamously polarizing Flowers of Evil anime is all the selling I need.

    Contrasting grape kid in MHA, I actually did like the frog girl in the two episodes we watched. It'd be easy to make that character the sadsack character, but instead she seems rather upbeat and happy with her powerset.

    Only 3 identities have been revealed so far. All I remember so far is I think Zonugal guessed Joan of Arc for Saber.

    Current on Jojo now, so the waiting for the rest of Stone Ocean begins.
    Other than that still following Ranking of Kings and have also caught up on Demon Slayer.

    Also watching through Rose of Versailles which has some excellent evil glee when characters are getting away with schemes.

    She's literally Spiderman except frog, and without the drag that is "Peter Parker's life must always return to suck". She's great!

    But yeah, bakugo is, minus events at hte very start of the Manga that the mangaka has said "I fucked up how i did this and went too far:", a great character - especially how he's grown and changed, while still remaining a spikey-haired arse. He's a better rival than most shonen rivals by far.

    To be fair she was right to narc in that situation because it fucked up the plans of the actual heroes to rescue him and is pretty much what forced All Might into direct collision with AFO and all that came with it.

    Yeah, MHA is one of my favs because while it dosent do a lot with it, it actually tackles the heros-as-police (and the issues thereof) and things a hell of a lot better than western comics have ever managed. Plus it's not really shy in examining the idea that the need for super heros implies the world is actually pretty fucked in al ot of respects - there's some great sublte world building with refrences to japan being the only place with a sub 10% crime rate (Mostly pinned on the existance of All might), several fun easter eggs that point to the actual time peroid being 2XXX rather than modern day, including all but outright stating that the first emergency of quirks lead to near-total societal collapse. And stuff like the Trigger drug being an interional import where regulations are less tight...

    It's good stuff, and i'd love more that just lived in the world so to speak.

    It's actually been a popular theory for a long time that there will be a fifth girl, but her theme color will be orange, not green.
    Since the beginning, the logo has had five colors in it. When Mirika was introduced, someone went "Hey, maybe the colors correspond to characters?" and then when Shino was finally seen in color and people saw her theme color was purple, they started expecting the orange-themed girl to show up any time.

    I think Shino might have been seen in color before it was officially revealed that she liked Naoya, so that may have clued people in on that?

    I like to imagine the potential partners in harem/"who will they choose to go out with- type stories coordinate their outfits to not overlap on main accent color on purpose, like they have secret meetings about it offscreen.

    Or worse yet, wardrobe determinism, their inclusion in the roster of candidates is determined by their favorite color/flower/fruit/whatever complementing the other ones and not overlapping. 'Convenient coincidence for artistic license?' Never heard of it.
