    Mugen's Infinity Castle definitely showed that movie money flex.

    I maintain the 2nd movie was a blatant cash grab, but it sure did end up pretty.

    They are in fact the same writer. I remain convinced that the tight number of episodes has been nothing but a boon to G-witch, forcing it to focus on the important beats (and saving budget for when it's needed)

    Kanojo mo Kanojo is apparently officially ending with chapter 144.

    140 just came out in Japan this week, so 4 left.
    Shame we're just getting a speedrun of adding Shino and Mirika to the poly relationship and then immediately ending instead of showing that relationship.

    Marginal Service is like 500% more serious than the promos let on. It's basically Men In Black, if the MIB were sentai dressed like fire fighters.

    And then the ending of the episode is a montage with the announcer from Smash Brothers screaming everybody's names.

    That's actually changing somewhat lately, which is why it's disappointing this one is immediately ending.

    List of recent manga off the top of my head where the main characters actually started dating and the series still continued (not counting series where they are already dating in the first chapter):

    (Don't click if you're reading a romcom manga and aren't caught up)
    • Dangers in My Heart
    • Don't Toy with Me, Nagatoro (basically, if not quite officially yet)
    • Hitomi-chan is Shy with Strangers
    • Kaguya-sama: Love is War
    • Komi Can't Communicate
    • Shed Ryugasaki-san
    • Sometimes Even Reality is a Lie
    • Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out
    • Yancha Gal no Anjou-san
    • (A yuri series by the Jahy-sama author whose title might get me in trouble)

    There's also the odd situation of Cuckoo's Fiancé where the main guy has started dating the best girl, but she's possibly not the endgame girl which will suck.

    I want to talk about the Witch from Mercury Season 2 ED
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7UPWbVbVf0

    So does this seem to confirm that the Gundam bits (and Suletta) are all probably Eri clones?

    Also the part that starts at 45 seconds where Suletta has her hair down and is controlling the bits herself without Aerial is really great and I really hope it happens in the show as well.

    yeah, I knew in my bones it was the kind of manga where they have no interest in writing about an actual relationship beyond the will-they-won't-they drama phase and it would end soon as soon as the core premise started being addressed, as most of these do, but still disappointing.

    Feels like an ending where the magazine dictates an ending in x chapters and then the author has to scramble to squeeze in some sort of ending.

    This has long been a running problem with romcom stories in the genre, and I'm glad they're finally moving past it.

    Speaking of Anno, apparently after 30 years, the man can take a break:
    Hideaki Anno, the auteur behind the mid-‘90s smash-hit mecha anime Neon Genesis Evangelion, recently revealed that his work schedule is clear for the first time in 30 years.

    During a press event for his new tokusatsu-tribute film Shin Kamen Rider, Anno spoke about what creative ventures were on his horizon. According to Anime News Network, outside of soft confirming that, if asked, he’s willing to work on a sequel to Shin Kamen Rider called Shin Kamen Rider: Masker World, his creative future is unknown.

    The ending of the original Evangelion show is art, I don't care what anybody says.

    I literally showed my partner who was doing their masters at the time and teaching video art for the grad program, the part toward the end just as a video art piece and they gave it the good art stamp of approval

    Yeah, after an episode and a half of being waaay too horny, it eases up. After that it's... honestly still pretty horny, but less frequently and way less intrusively.

    I think that one is the story that is the most "when will this be done so I can find out what happens in the end" of anything I'm reading right now; I wish the author would a:stop introducing even more new characters that I don't care about, and b:quit it with all the its-not-really-incest-I-swear stuff, ugh. But it _is_, frustratingly, not clear what the ending will be, which keeps me curious, but it's also increasingly not clear that we'll get to the end any time soon.

    A few more for the list of 'they got together' (none of which are really spoilers because it's blindingly obvious they're going to get together):

    Kimi to Pico-Pico (what if the cute girl in the video games club was really into old 8-bit era games? Also interesting if you actually like video games. Oh, and it has an Ashita No Joe turned-to-white-ash reference)
    8ymc6olyhcvb.png

    The Story Between a Dumb Prefect and a High School Girl with an Inappropriate Skirt Length (already mentioned, still great)

    and Insomniacs After School, which is just wonderful and everyone should read it. (Seriously, I've been meaning to plug this one for ages now, it's really charming and nice and feel-good, and the story isn't just will-they-wont-they-get-together, they will, they do, it's very much about what else happens)

    Slightly more spoiler-y:
    Aikagi-kun to Shiawase Gohan (Happy Meals with Aikagi-kun)

    because of the latest chapter (21), which just all of a sudden advances things enormously. or does it? It's hard to say, but it sure made me gasp when he just drops that into conversation. Also it's a pleasant read either way.

    Here is your annual dongs anime update:

    I am reading the Kaguya manga because I got tired of waiting for the anime. I have reached two conclusions at this time:

    1. Miko Iino is a garbage girl.
    2. Maki Shijo is cute

    secret third conclusion
    3. Ishigami would be a much better character if it had been left ambiguous whether he was actually the good guy in his middle school drama
