    can someone explain to me exactly what Shaddiq was proposing about selling the company assets to Earth? And what war partitioning is? I admit a lot of the business stuff in this show has only barely made sense to me and I have finally been left behind by this
    The business shit in the show is so extremely contrived and probably the weakest part of the whole thing

    I, also, don't really understand this part of the plot

    I've been watching Way of the Househusband. It's such a strange show. At first I hated it, but it weirdly grew on me and the small 5 minute clips are a great way to just waste a bit of time on a mobile device. I'm still not sure I like it, but I also don't hate it anymore. Has the vibe of a older shows like Ren and Stimpy, but even shorter.

    My suspicion about war partitioning is basically: "we're arms merchants, let's have an internal agreement that warring factions aren't over-provided and are managed so that they don't spill out into full-scale conflict through a partition system", but this might be me trying to do the writers' work for them.

    I only watched MHA the anime for a while but it's one of those anime/manga the internet is hell bent on spoiling for me it seems, which is fine I don't care too much

    Probably current manga spoilers
    I know the creator loves Spider-Man and it feels like Deku is going through his symbiote spidey arc lol

    Basically, Shaddiq's plan is
    dismantle the Benerit Group and sell the assets to Earth factions to bring them to parity with the Space-borne corporations. In his vision, this will end up with a cold war between the two sides as each will be too powerful to be directly opposed b the other. So basically, same amount of war, Earth just gets to join as an equal player now.
    As for "war partitioning" I think it's just a made-up sounding thing, since the Japanese version was "war sharing".

    The Iruma-kun manga is in the middle of a pivotal arc, and things are popping off right now.

    The author is a master of both impactful page turns and subtle paneling. As much as I like the anime, it doesn't come close to the masterwork of the manga sometimes. Wow.

    Honestly when I started the Iruma manga I nearly dropped it because the sheer level of wish fulfillment involved in the setup arcs was turning me off (everyone loves Iruma and everything just happens to line up his way and literally every girl is into him and...), but the humor kept me on, and I'm very happy I did, because it solidified into something real good. Excellent cast, great buildup, very solid pacing, and funny humor with some regularity.

    And yes, the anime clips I've seen just do not have the impact of the paneling of the manga.

    Megumi Han isn't voicing anyone in Birdie Wing I think, it's just the character name that's the homage (though Seira's VA Yūko Kaida was Marida Cruz in Gundam Unicorn)

    Think I must have read something somewhere else too fast.

    no, it's cool! I actually just wanted to look it up for myself after you mentioned it since I hadn't heard about that, and then went down a rabbit hole lol

    Something I saw elsewhere was, re: the last thing,
    Possibly a reference to the whole Partitioning of India thing that Britain used. Basically working to keep groups split up via cultural differences and in a constant state of conflict between each other so they don't offer a unified front against the Crown/the Company.

    I *assume* this is where the company is getting all their money, selling mobile suits and weapons to these groups they're provoking into fighting each other. They *do* seem to talk a lot about market share...

    I feel like a bit of a dick for saying this, but might it be time for a dedicated Witch From Mercury thread? I'm not caught up with the show and having nearly entire pages of spoilers whenever the show is being discussed is getting really annoying to scroll through.

    I don't know what the consensus on Bocchi the Rock was here, but I just finished it yesterday and really enjoyed it. I wonder what someone who actually has social anxiety would think of it but it sort of felt that while the show itself played some her anxiety for laughs, her bandmates were actually really considerate of Hatori for the most part. Probably feels different though if that's how someone actually feels in real life though.

    It plays the anxiety for laughs definitely, but it feels like laughing with more than laughing at if that makes sense. I also really appreciate that her bandmates never really try to 'fix' her, they support her if she's having trouble but mostly go 'oh give her a minute she's just turned into stone'

    as a person with similar kinds of social anxiety I felt like bocchi the rock was laughing with her rather than at her yeah

    as opposed to say, early watamote/it's not my fault I'm not popular, where it was definitely laughing AT her and it turned me off to the series. Watamote does change its tone and focus to something I like a lot eventually but it's a slog to get there and the part they animated does not get that far.

    Suletta is a fully artificial human, a gund tech ai built at human size. It'd explain a few things on where she came from and how she exists, and we've also seen repeated shots of a very aggressively augmented person in the first OP. Why not a full from the ground up human?

    Following this up, one other reason to call this:
    Suletta calls Aerial her "little" sister. But accoridng to what we've got so far - Suletta is 17. Eri should be older. So what's up?

    ...Well, if Suletta is a human-formed Lfrith, that'd make sense.

    Chainsaw man is an ongoing series with a manga along with it's anime adaptation, there's quite a bit more to discuss (and it had way, way more posts than g-witch gets).

    G-witch ends in, what, 9 more episodes?

    And personally I think separate threads for every show that happen to get popular is way more annoying than just occasionally scrolling past a dozen or so posts once a week or so.

    Demon Slayer is pretty visuals and that's about it. Like i enjoy it for the pretty visuals, but let's be frank: That's all it's got going for it. It's not very good! There's just not a lot to fuel discussion - especially since the manga is long since over, and barring a very sudden swerve, we know exactly how things are going to go down, and there's jsut... not much to say. it's fine for what it is, but it's really not got anything to talk about than "Ayup, those are some pretty animation"
