I'm rather impressed otherwise with how the conflict unfolded and resolved, everyone having believable motives that can eventually be resolved without killing. Strong Undertale vibes on that front. Poor Ouken though.
Bojji's fighting style is a visceral joy to watch. In a world where political legitimacy is backed by strength, it's nice to see skill get a word in edgewise.
I wonder how much any future series will hang out around the Bosse Kingdom, and how much is Bojji and his adventure to become King of the Pirates.
A good time, and decent plot hooks for later adventures without really hampering the resolution of this arc.
lmao
And might I add, lol

I could definitely tell it wasn’t Miura, but I honestly don’t know if I could have known if I hadn’t been primed to look for it
I’m definitely keeping up with it, hope that team finds a groove

Nao is definitely a great example of the empathy that the author approaches their characters with, but I think what you're saying is both true and not (in a good way).
It's true because to Mitsumi, Nao is just her cool reliable aunt that she loves. And she doesn't really think beyond that - which like of course she doesn't, she's only 15/16, adults are off in their own unknowable world to kids her age, and Mitsumi's a simple loving soul.
But we've got little bits and glimpses of Nao's life that lets us appreciate how much she's gone through to be in a happy place now. She was miserable in high school - In one chapter Nao talks about how it's actually a little hard for her to hear Mitsumi talking about her happy high school experience because it was SO bad for Nao. Graduated, went off to be a salaryman, it's implied that when she quit her job and started transitioning there was a big blowup with her dad and she probably wasn't welcome home for a few years. And there's still maybe a bit of a generational split in the family - the parents are still kinda awkward about stuff, her brother is on her side, and then the kids just love her and don't even think about her trans-ness at all and don't think about why Nao rarely ever comes home to visit.
So like in Mitsumi's life she's just her cool reliable female relative that she lives with, but we also have like a full queer narrative of Nao's life and self-discovery and struggle to get there that's mostly all over MItsumi's head. But I really appreciate how the writing handles it - being trans isn't like the defining feature of Nao's character, but it is still part of her life experiences. It does a really good job of avoiding feeling like either tokenism or moralizing, the author's not just writing a cis women with a trans label tossed in, but it's not like dwelling on her transness as if that's the only thing interesting about her.
Definitely between like this, Blue Period, and a few other recent manga by younger mangaka, recent manga's really starting to grow past those shitty old okama type jokes (finally). It's nice to see progress.
oh my god the romance arc after that is amazing
oh my god the school arc after that sucks asssssss
Kaguya this chapter
I know I hyped myself up for this, but it was so, so good.
Episode 13 had movie quality. They pretty much nailed everything from the manga.
The little afterwards scene was a great cherry on the sundae.
They also announced another something, I think a movie, not another season though.
I just binged through the Kaguya-Sama chapters from the point I dropped it off (Chapter 252) and boy that's a ride! What great fun!
Latest chapter:
<cool ass action trailer>
<my brain> "Yeah, okay, but what's actually interesting and unique about it?"
My initial understanding of this post is that you understood that the trailer was cool ass, but that your brain didn't think it being cool ass made it interesting or unique. Is that correct?

Gargantia is really good except for that fucking subplot, goddamnit
I'm not immune to it, anything Gainax, Trigger or Orange has my attention by default regardless of substance, however those studios have a look.
Its sequel, Mobile Suit Gundam Z - or Zeta Gundam - is available to stream on Funimation.
As of yesterday, Zeta Gundam's sequel, Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ (Double Zeta) and the feature film finale Char's Counterattack are available to stream on Crunchyroll.
That's the entire epic story of Amuro, Char, Bright, and the rest, finally available legally to stream in the US.
Y'know, if you want to plan your Animenagerie schedule out for... a while.

I'd be upset if our first Gundam show wasn't G anyways. I might reluctantly agree to one of the UC OVAs, for historical purposes.
One of the one-shots was a spy story with the disguises and everything like Loid uses.
One was a fantasy story about a man and a woman taking care of an adorable Medusa-kid that they have to keep secret.
The last one was about a witch.
You can easily see where elements of the first two became Spy x Family, but what about the third?
Well...
If you were just going to watch one Gundam OVA and call the whole series good after that, I'd go for War in the Pocket. 08th MS Team second choice.
Normally will they won't they tension comes from like, self doubt that so and so REALLY likes me. Like more of a self esteem risk. And while they have a little bit of that, the two of them are such wholesome little sweethearts that more than anything it feels like they're just afraid of messing up their friendship if things don't work out. They really, legitimately don't want to risk their friendship.
So now they're dating and like instead of being purely excited they're actually more freaked out than before.
