    Man, something about the pacing of the current One Piece Wano arc has just caused it to like... Roll off my brain the instant I read it.

    There's just so many characters in so many different places and they jump between them just often enough that I feel like after every chapter I have no idea what is going on. Maybe it'll be better if I just wait and go back when the whole thing is done.

    It happened to me at first, too. There's some specific highlights that have stuck and it's starting to feel more cohesive, but a number of characters have kinda blurred together.

    They aren’t doing a not wano break? It’s act 3 now.

    Official release isn't out yet, and a lot of folks here seem to wait for that.

    As someone who has been playing the mobile game for almost 2 years I am not defending the shipgirl stuff but the anime did a good job referencing the game, community memes, and a couple historical tidbits.

    Not yet but ship history is a factor in character design.

    So Japanese light novel titles...
    https://youtu.be/pi79l5k8gBM

    Japanese titles have always been kind of obnoxious ...for example:
    Choujikuu Yousai Macross Ai Oboete Imasuka (Super Dimension Fortress Macross Do you Rememeber love?)
    Koukaku Kidoutai The Ghost in the shell (Mobile Armor Riot Police The Ghost in The Shell)

    Of course, no one ever uses the whole title, and I've always found the supertitle to be a bit of textual flowering.

    However, light novel name thing I am finding endlessly amusing. Mainly because this kind of "title marketing" actually comes from another Japanese media where it is MASSIVELY used. Normally, when you have huge titles like this, there is often a phrase within it that is rendered differently. (Sometimes a different color or different font). You can most often use that as the shorthand title. However, this does make the "actual" title a little boring. Stripped of it's wreath of superfluous words, you wind up with titles like "She Stared at Him" or "The Other World", or even "That Girl". The titles are so long because no one is bothering to read the dust cover synopsis anymore...

    Like I said, this title thing is being aped from another Japanese media (which as been doing it FOREVER) for exactly the same reason. No one really bothers to read the synopsis...

    This titling style comes from Japanese adult videos. Same exact system too. Highlight the core thesis in a particular font, and then flower the context around it... be it as it may.

    I'm not sure that light novels are going to stop doing it. It's just too convenient. In Japanese you can "eyecatch" the highlighted core phrase "shape" and know it's the title you are looking for. However, it must be a right pain in the rear to translate :)

    Holy shit. You guys weren't kidding.

    That Isekai Wrestler Guy anime is gross as fuck.
    Guy sexually harasses everyone regardless of gender or species.

    He even got off sniffing a dog's butt.

    Excuse me while I rewatch scenes from Demon Slayer to wash the awful out of my eyes.

    Other quick reviews

    Azur Lane 4/5 cool visuals not a fan of the amount of lolis but its an adaptation so its not the anime's fault, neat fight scene going to keep watching.

    Val x Love 2/5 geez i'm not going to recommend this its even more perverted then I expected I'll give it another episode but I'm expecting to drop it.

    Shinchou Yuusha 5/5 This is amazing. tl;dr Its a meta isekai, Goddess summons dude from Japan who had high stats but failed to realize hes overly cautious to the point of paranoia. Hijinx ensue I really hope it doesn't nose dive cause I was laughing my ass off.

    Inosuke memes make me giggle

    My friends just call him Boarjamin, because his name is basically that but in Japanese ("Ino" is written with the first character for boar, and "suke" is basically standard male name suffix).

    80s and 90s cyberpunk was something special. There's so much design and detail crammed into every frame.

    I did a blitz of Bubblegum Crisis, Black Magic, Appleseed, and Cybercity Odeo. I think I'll finish with Ghost in the Shell.

    He probably means the feature film adaptation from the 90s rather than Stand Alone Complex, SAC is great though. Shame about the unavailability of DVDs.
