Finished: Megalobox Nomad, Love is War season 2, Devilman Crybaby (yeesh).
Dropped Moriarty the Patriot. I liked the first half and got real disinterested midway through the second one.
Legit spoiler question about Sonny Boy.
Watched the first episode and like the look of it enough to go along for the weird ride BUT if it contains something I'd rather avoid it and just be spoiled on it.
Is there like cat death/abuse coming up in this? I already got wary there were a lot of cats in the first ep and are people gonna be eating cats eventually or something?
There's one missing at the start of the second episode and ehhhhh. The alarm bells are ringing.
Also started Kageki Shojou and like it so far. And working on some old episodes of Planetes and Master Keaton now and then.

Guts and Casca’s relationship is really cute. I’m really tempted to look up spoilers considering his future is to become a lone wandering murder machine hunted by demons and uh she’s not around.
IIRC a number of the light novels currently getting adaptations or that have been adapted often had complete web novels. The bigger issue you see is that many authors don't really do roadmaps for their works. Turning a web novel into a light novel can alleviate this some, since a good author will look into addressing so stuff that didn't work out well in the web novel, which is why you get some cases where the light novel greatly differs from the web novel. On the other hand, plenty of authors where this doesn't help them. The bigger issue is you have the people with money that want a huge pay out now and they often don't really wait to let some of these manga and light novels build up enough material to avoid having the anime pass the source material content.
Actually, I'm a a bit worried that Iruma might run into the issue where the anime passes the content that the manga has and most stuff ends up going down hill from there. Full Metal Alchemist continues to be one of those exceptions where the anime writers managed to improve some good for an ending.

Depends how much and fast they adapt. Iruma has probably 4 more episodes this season then a break, and over 100 chapters to adapt into 24 to 48 more episodes.

Anime pretty much makes negative dollars. It's less wanting a payout and more just wanting steady advertising. It's a flooded market and you have to stay in front of people or you'll fade into obscurity in a month.
Original anime basically live and die on merchandise and Blu-Ray sales, traditionally speaking, although I guess for stuff made directly for streaming services they're hedging their bets on it paying for itself with subscriptions and/or ads.
And non-original anime are basically just big advertisements for the game/manga/light novel, yeah. Demon Slayer probably paid for itself with how it suddenly catapulted the manga volumes to the best-seller charts.
-they ARE doing some new stories and mixing in bounty of the week stuff with the main plot.
-they all but confirm Tank! will be the OP again
-they all but confirm Ed.
One more week to the...well it's not quite a fireworks factory. Something a lot more focused, intense, and efficient than random bangs and booms. But it's gonna be a spectacle all the same. And now I think I have an idea what the ending of this season is going to consist of.
It's going to reveal the other two people who the Goddess snatched from Makoto's world and made into Heroes on hers. They both suck but for different reasons.

I'm thinking that unless they knew they were getting multiple seasons before they started, that its just going to wrap up without even mentioning them. But i find that very unlikely. After being curious enough about some confusing plot points had me look on mangadex and read it, i realize just how much they have completely cut out about that subject. not even giving a hint about that part of the story makes it just one more "Got Isekaied and am now OP" anime. which is fine i guess, its not unenjoyable, but not very deep, unless you want and go looking for details. If anything next weeks episode is going to set a bit of a darker tone then it has been going down unless they change the story to wrap up the anime.

Don't ask for an explanation. There isn't one.
Aaaand the newest episode (#9) is about the cats. Sort of.
They've always been fully sentient apparently, and can talk to other animals and shit.
This has nothing at all to do with the episode, which is about a pair of twins throwing a huge tantrum at each other because they disagree about counting hairs and both have the power of time reversal which is trapping everybody in a tundra world. Oh, everybody is together again too somehow.
Except they're not even twins. They're both one dude who got split in half and are fighting over who gets to be the real one until one shoots the other with a ray gun from the evil teacher, whereupon he realized that he killed himself, so he kills himself. Also, the dog dude knew the cats were talking the entire time. And the cats aren't shipping things from 'Nyamazon,' one of them has the power to duplicate matter. And the Indian dude apparently figured all this out by connecting them to a lie detecting machine and interrogating them. Just didn't feel like mentioning it to anybody though.
I've read all of Berserk, but its been a while and I'm not quite sure what the full implication of that last panel is.
hoo boy
so, long story short
when griffith reincarnated himself in the physical world, he did so in a body that had also absorbed the dying remains of guts and casca's kid.
This would eventually start bleeding over into griffith, not just in his personality (it might be the only reason he's still able to feel vaguely human emotions) but also in that on full moon nights, the child would physically take his place in the world and visit its parents
this is the first time guts, casca, or griffith have figured it out, and they're all learning the truth together

Yeah, I think they've been keeping the other two Heroes out of the picture because they've been setting up to bring them in with an impact. The event next week with Makoto, and his subsequent realization about the nature of the world regarding humans and the goddess, is the perfect time to reveal there's been two others from his world on the side of the humans.
They could change things to cut them out for the final episode after next week, but I don't find that likely because it would ruin the opportunity for a second season. 99.99% sure they're getting introduced tail end of next week and the final episode will cover what they've been doing to set up potential next season arc.
except i don't think you could squeeze it all into a single episode. your basically going back in time a good bit at this point, so unless they decide to make most of the second season basically retelling the story over the same time period the first season did with different characters (which might as well be a whole different anime and i *hate* that trope). i don't see a second season was expected at all so far or they would have factored in at least some of that.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight.
I think it's implying that it's the girl's power to duplicate things, and the cats just have the ability to deliver it.
Because it seems like people's powers interacted to start all of this off. The Indian student didn't want to share that information because everyone already turned on MC once for thinking he was responsible for the whole thing.
But instead I think it's something like...MC created the new worlds, she duplicated all the students and the school, the guy who shatters things broke them apart from reality, etc. etc.
And, of course, their principal (God) made all this happen just for funsies.
Sigh I suppose I should watch those now that they're finally done and people aren't mad at it. Since they have confusing names, what's the order of the films? 1.11, 2.22, 3.33, 3.0+1.0? Also where are they streaming, just amazon? I've somehow managed to remain unspoiled on the plot despite watching a few bits on youtube over the long, long years.

wow so hunterxhunter season 5 gets really really fucking dark incredibly quickly
it's also funny that the story introduces this country that sucks, and then reveals that it's that way because this one traumatised kid decided to create a miserable country that sucks for everyone there

Iruma just needs to keep getting seasons. Season 3 should be even better. A theoretical Season 4 might make it to my favorite moment in the series.
What? 3 is by far the least fan-servicey of the bunch.
