    So I've been reading the Kino's Journey manga and something strange happens every volume. The back of the book and the color pages quote what seems to be the original Kino light novels, a story from one of them. Then a similar on its face story happens in the manga, but with extremely different events. Any Kino superfans around that can explain this? Did the manga use the light novel as sort of a writing prompt and then do completely different versions of the stories? Is Kino a franchise where each new version does its own thing and none are very similar? This is my first look at the franchise, so I'm just left confused.

    The manga is based on the LNs but does do some different stuff with some of the stories, yeah. It's not a totally new version that does its own thing each time, no.

    Honestly I'd recommend checking out the early 2000s anime and then reading more of the manga! That anime series is really good and should serve as a great entry into the stories.

    I have at last army-crawled across the finish line of Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex season 1. I have to say, overall, it left me kinda cold. I didn't find the Laughing Man plot particularly interesting. The stand alone (ugh) episodes often managed to be pretty fun little stories but too often fell into the trap of asking an interesting question or posing a mystery and then just going "much to think about! Moving on,"

    And like I like that sort of thing from time to time but you can't do it for every other episode

    Anyway, I wanted to finish it so that I could watch s2 and listen to the Great Gundam Project folks plus Austin Walker talk about it as their backup show but I'm really not sure I'm interested in another season

    I genuinely think the second season is better than the first, has some of its own issues but

    a) the politics and philosophy at least feel a lot more grounded since it's actually dealing with stuff that matters to reality

    b) the Major's outfit is the best in pretty much any GitS series, and she gets real pants

    c) I think the side episodes tend to feed into the main story much more cleanly

    Hmm, hmm, I see. Okay, I'm interested enough to check it out

    as a bonus the opening theme also absolutely slaps

    One Piece manga chapter 1052
    did Oda constructively take criticism for the old "men in dresses island" sanji training arc shit? Nice if so. At least one, possibly two cool, good guy, explicitly trans characters who survive their arc! Sanji and Momo still getting comedy nosebleeds at seeing he/him boob though.

    For as absolutely all-out ridiculous as Sailor Moon S' comedy is(very), it also has sporadic moments of budget.

    This chapter draws a direct comparison between Kiku and Yamato so I think there's really no room for debate. Like, I don't expect Oda to handle everything perfectly but his intentions in this case seem pretty clear.

    It's crazy to go from the barebones details of the mindless Gungrave game, to the amazing anime.

    First episode sucks though, and should always be skipped. You literally miss nothing by skipping it, since in reality it's just an episode from later in the season with all the context and some of the voice lines stripped out. It also spoils some stuff that's better off not spoiled.

    at least one solid trans character is still good either way too, didn't think Oda had it in him.

    One Piece 1052
    People have been playing CSI over every piece of evidence for and against since Yamato said "I'm a guy" two years ago, and they will still be doing the same thing two years from now.

    Surprisingly, Kaido the abusive father, who does not respect his son, was much quicker to accept it. Seems like it simply doesn't bother him.

    basically decided to use gendered bathrooms to define who's trans and who isn't

    I think it's a decent way to make it text that they belong in those spaces, having them do it, show them in there, and show the other characters being normal about it.

    I don't think we need to talk around this in spoilers actually, to be clear there's at least one, and probably two explicitly trans characters in One Piece now that are treated respectfully and normally by the writing, and the latest chapter had them in gendered bath scenes with the same gendered straw hat crew members to explicitly say "yeah they're in the right bath and everyone (except Sanji and Momo who don't know how to deal with seeing a he/him boob) is cool about it." Momo is eight and Sanji needs to grow up, as always.

    Y'all finally got to see it too. I've been waiting since Friday for the chapter to be officially released so I could read it in full and be certain rather than just seeing that one segment fan translated.

    I get superhero movies are still big, but I doubt it'll be better than other anime adaptions.

    That reminds me, we're a couple weeks from next season. Let's glance at it, and...

    Oh, like a dozen sequels, half isekai.

    And an isekai about starting a harem with cheat powers, an isekai about being a pharmacist with cheat powers, an isekai about being the strongest sage with cheat powers, and an isekai about using cheat powers to make the reincarnation goddes be part of your harem. And three of those descriptions are from the titles alone.

    So nice there's stiff competition with the next season of Rental Girlfriend for what will be the worst.

    Tonight on Animenagerie:
    • We finished Jojo Part 3. Cool stuff.
    • We finished the Krillin vs. Jackie Chun and Goku vs. Nam in Dragon Ball. Both fights ignored the rules or else the finals would have been Krillin vs. Nam.
    • We watched half an episode of Popteam Epic. Hellshake Yano!
    • We tried to watch the Transformers episode of Panty & Stocking, but the plug was pulled as soon as they started their transformation sequence. They didn't even get to the part where they take off their panties.
    • So we filled the time by watching the first episode of Birdie Wing even though it's sub-only. Golf Crimes.
