    Then there's people like Hiro Mashima who manages multiple series at a time and still actively games.

    It probably depends on the complexity of what you're drawing, too.

    + some artists are literally multiple times faster than other artists for the same task. + how good/fast your assistants are. + how many revisions.

    But regardless of all that, I still don't understand how anyone is pushing out 20 page chapters every week.

    Tomo-chan finished yesterday. It was good! They skipped a lot, but that's understandable since they blew through the entire manga in 13 episodes. The epilogue chapter about making chocolate for Valentine's is amazing.

    I've also been catching up on all the shows I neglected while I was playing video games instead of watching anime the last two months. First up is Endo and Kobayashi's Live Commentary on the Villainess. This show is so sweet I think I got diabetes. One of the better fluffy romcom premises in recent years.

    This is amazing.

    So many people in the movie became so famous in the intervening years.

    I wonder if they'll adapt all 6 books for the anime, rather than abridging it like they did for the movie.

    The bigger thing to me is making it clear that Scott on his initial trajectory is just as much of a shitheel as the Exes are, since that's a major theme of the comic.

    True. They skipped over all the forgotten memories and such that Scott had to rediscover.

    The movie also skipped the part where there might be even the vaguest hint that Scott and Ramona might enjoy being around each other, which felt like a pretty significant flaw.

    It's Science Saru so it won't be a cheap out production

    It will 100% look weird as shit though, which I'm personally looking forward to (I just hope they don't kill any animators)

    Yeah I wish they'd had like one or two more episodes so they could've squeezed a bit more from the manga, but I'm sure with the way anime works it was either this or a full 24 episodes where they'd have to pad everything out and ruin all the comedic timing.

    Could still get an OVA

    Ima be honest I thought ep12 was the last one so I was happy with the ending in the actual last episode

    Yeah that's basically why I canceled my sub like a year ago. I'd watched most of the shows I was interested in, and figured when they added the funi content there'd be more, but a lot of it was dubs only, no captions

    Oh, they split the Kaguya-sama movie into 4 episodes, and the first two are available now on Crunchyroll. Latter two to release this Sunday.

    They animated the OP and ED this time. Neat.
    No word on a dub yet.

    I finished Endo and Kobayashi. It was absolutely overly saccharine and cloying, but it resonated with me in such a way that I did not mind at all. For what it was, it's one of the things I've most enjoyed watching in a good long while.

    Even the last episode title matched me philosophically perfectly:
    "The Best Happy End to End All Happy Ends!"

    Sometimes you don't want to suffer! Sometimes you just want to eat ice cream and enjoy the hell out of it.

    I'm sittin' here looking at Kaguya on Crunchyroll and the list of seasons is like "S1, S2, S3" and I'm followin' along fine and then it's like "S25"

    What the fuck is that even? I mean I guess it's the finale or whatever, but why the fuck is it listed as S25?

    Then the episodes of S25 are listed as "Episode 1, Part 3" and "Episode 2, Part 4"

    Well then where the fuck are parts 1 and 2?

    Just... fucking why?

    It's because their system can't cope with things like multiple versions of shows being the same season, or movies not belonging to any season.

    It actually can! For example, you'll see stuff like "English Dub Season 1" and "Spanish Dub Season 1". So you could very easily write "OVA" or "Movie" in that text space. It's just a matter of not being a doofus when you curate the listing.
    Is there a new debacle happening or have they just still not transferred the content?

    So Sony bought everything and then sent emails to all the Funimation paid subscribers (like me, back then). "Hey, we're winding down Funimation and adding everything to Crunchyroll. Please start subbing to Crunchyroll, that is our main thing now. To make this transition easier, here's a few free months of Crunchy." Okay, fine, could have been worse. I dutifully took them up on that. Since then they have:
    -Not improved the Crunchyroll app to the base level of everything the Funimation app had
    -Not migrated over a TON of content
    and the one that REALLY makes me upset
    -Added new things exclusively to Funimation, like Gundam Narrative.

    If the parent company for WB/Discovery makes their HBO/Discovery combined (monstrosity) app a real thing before Sony finishes this so called transition, they (Sony) are a stupid joke. WB/Discovery is also a joke, but that's neither here nor there.

    The part 3, part 4 thing is a bit of an unfortunate side effect of naming the episodes after the titles of the manga chapters it adapts. "About Kaguya Shinomiya, part 1" was al the way back in season 1, and part 2 happened last season.

    No excuse for "S25", that's just dumb, and potentially very confusing if a fourth season ever happens.

    Is that a fairly recent development? I used to be constantly plagued by weirdly numbered seasons that were just other dubs that played hell with autoplaying the next episode and stuff.
