    My mom would read "Mai the Psychic Girl" when I was a kid and eventually stole them for myself

    Doubt she knew it was manga or Japanese at all

    My mother learned how to use Bittorrent before I did so she could download the newest fansubs of Inuyasha. Adult Swim has much to answer for

    One of the arcs escalated a Stand power to the level of "annihilate the known universe", resulting in a more or less complete reset of the continuity and a new universe plodding forward with leftover pieces of the old one.

    That's what people assume (for good reason) but it's never been outright stated to be the case.

    When Jojolion came out Araki got asked in an interview about the relation between Part 4 Josuke and Part 8 Josuke, and he replied with something along the lines of "Don't think of them as being the same character. Instead think of them as people from different dimensions that have a similar frequence"

    two fun and entirely wild spoilers for post-Stone Ocean JoJo deeplore that don't actually come up in any way in the main line of JoJo, to my knowledge (I haven't finished part 8), but Araki has mentioned offhand elsewhere:
    Giorno likely survived the end of Stone Ocean and made it to the next world, because of how broken his Stand is

    The Earth has been through at least a dozen of these cycles because the events of JoJo keep happening in some incarnation. However, the effects are limited to Earth and the rest of the universe proceeds as normal. This means there are a lot of Karses that end up hanging out together on Mars

    The Stone Ocean Anime kinda helped straighten my thoughts on what's what.
    The Roundabout Credit Sequence in the Final Episode, showing scenes from all the previous Jojos, and the scene of Emporio meeting the new versions of the Green Dolphin Gang. That implies to me that the previous Jojos still had their adventures more or less the same in this new world, but the major difference is with Pucci gone, the removal of his gravity (defined as the influence he has on the world and other people) has radically altered the lives of the Part 6 group. So the Wonderful World is the Original Timeline up until Pucci doesn't happen.

    Then Steel Ball Run and Jojolion and now Jojolands are an entirely different universe, surprise fanservicey moments notwithstanding.

    you can essentially call them a reboot. the exact mechanics are more complicated but also don't matter at all

    Latest Otoyomegatari chapter is not more Otoyomegatari story, it's Kaoru Mori talking about her other stuff. I've read Emma, I've read Shirley, but I hadn't heard of Grun Baela until just now. It's described as:

    which, coming from Kaoru Mori, is no small claim.

    but, somehow:

    Latest Boruto is fucking wild
    Chapter or episode?

    Going back a page, my Dad read the Evangelion manga, and while I don't remember if he liked it, I do remember him saying something akin to "Misato is my kind of girl", because she both partied hard and worked hard.

    A friend has just recently finished Ranking of Kings, and some gushing commenced on some of the nuances of the characters, and another friend piped in, saying that it's "just like in Fairy Tail the baddies aren't comic book evil", and I haven't watched enough of Fairy Tail to refute that, so I just said I never really thought there'd be a comparison between Ranking of Kings and Fairy Tail regarding nuanced characters. (Honestly what I remember of it is just Shounen - Power of Friendship - Fanservice, sooo)

    I guess I sort of see where someone who likes fairy tale a lot could make the comparison, I think fairy tale is extremely bland shonen dreck though and hardly compares. I don't like all of ranking of kings either, it's had some parts that didn't land well for me too, but I'd still rate it far ahead in writing skill.

    Yeah. I was thinking, "Okay, you (my friend) do you, but honestly if we're talking anime and nuance in villain writing, Fairy Tail wouldn't be my first go-to example, and if Fairy Tail's strengths were to be listed, nuance wouldn't be its top three".

    Anyone have a rundown on the Fairy Tail baddies and their motivation? I have a feeling there's barely anything beyond "boo-hoo bad childhood, humans/<insert faction here> are bad" or the Naruto-Pain-like "Cleanse everything, it's the only way".

    The main villains in fairy tail:
    One was immortal and was trying to raise the MC into someone capable of finally killing him.

    The other was a scenery chewing dragon who was super strong who viewed other living beings as insects and wanted someone strong to fight.

    In general if the villains were attractive, they became friends afterwards. Ugly villains usually get beat up and put on a bus to leave.

    I guess I finished S6 of MHA? It kinda ended randomly so I'm not sure if that's the end of the season or I just hit all the dubs on Crunchyroll.

    Anyway, picking back up on Spy x Family. It's all sugar and goofiness and man I do find myself enjoying it. I'm usually not a fan of these kinda, I dunno what you'd really call it, slice of life animes? But this one is good.

    I dunno what I'm gonna watch after this, though. Everything that's reccomended is like, I got Woken Up as an Accountant for A Dragon Wizard in Fantasy Land and Also I Have Magic Powers and I kinda fuckin hate that shit

    Spy X family is like, part slice of life comedy, part action and drama. Full on slice of life usually doesn't have adventures and drama, more of a series of low stakes vignettes of Things That Happen.
