    Yeesh. I guess the turn of events in 21 was inevitable, but you hate to see it.

    Itadori is probably my favourite teenager shounen protagonist that there is, a perfect balance of being kinda dumb, wanting to have fun but also carrying some serious weight on his shoulders.

    More along the lines of
    By conquering the world as a dictator using brutal methods and a literally brainwashed army, not to mention the threat of Freyja warheads from a flying battle station, he inflicted trauma on every country after they united against him. Then when he's killed that trauma of warfare stands a chance of those countries continuing their original alliance and making a peaceful world.

    I think they did in Japan, but not in English afaik.

    Caught some of the new Bookworm episodes.
    Like the new intro and exit.
    Some of the animation scenes were a bit jarring tho.
    Lots of folks talking out the side of their face.

    I'm both equally excited and terrified for Land of the Lustrous returning because the direction the story has been going up till the hiatus is just an escalation to say the least.

    When the last chapter finished I was literally mouth agape and emotionally shaken trying to process whatever the hell I just witnessed.

    There's just so much to unpack, and though I'm hoping that the creator has a plan, but I have no way of expecting how.

    They make that show for like 4 dollars. It also doesn’t really need stellar animation for what the show is doing. But I agree it would be nice if it looked better.

    When it has a rare action scene you can tell they've saved up a bit for it, but yes, outside those it's unspectacular.

    My entirely unscientific method of determining the most popular series each season is how much fanart of that series I end up seeing despite not being on any social media sites.

    Last season it was Marin from My Dress-Up Darling.

    This season, well sorry Desumi from Love After World Domination, because I haven't even seen one of you. It's by far Yor and Anya from Spy x Family.

    You know, a thing I noticed is that while the manga tries to bait and switch the audience a bit into thinking Lloyd is going to be the protagonist at the beginning, the anime's OP and ED make absolutely no bones from episode 1 about the fact that the protagonist of this entire thing is Anya.

    all three of them are the protagonists but Lloyd is the most frequent viewpoint character, followed closely by Anya, I think.

    I think this is true but Anya is the Perspective Character if that makes sense

    Loid's objective is guiding the plot and he's also experiencing the most character growth over time, I think it's fair to say he's pretty much a protagonist. (But the other two are as well).

    that's true, I feel like they will have to give Yor some character growth arcs eventually too though
    Anya is perfect already

    it's really funny to me that the official manga and subs all spell his name as "Loid" instead of "Lloyd", one of which is a normal and fairly common name, while the other looks bizarre

    The most recently completed manga arc was pretty much that. Yor character development arc with her as the main POV and Loid just kinda along for the ride.

    Feels like they kinda backed themselves into a corner where all the series setup went through Loid, but now that things are a bit more steady they can expand outwards
    of course, the Yor cruise ship arc is immediately followed by an extended Loid flashback arc, but I'm sure we'll get more assassin mom afterwards.

    I feel like the cruise ship didn't develop her character much but it did give her her first big story spotlight, and developed her side of the clandestine world more with the assassins' shop.

    That's what happens when you let the non-English-speaking side of things dictate the English localisations. He was originally Lloyd Folger in the manga before they forced Loid Forger.
