That’s the exact same comparison that ran through my head.

I really, really like this manga. So, I am very much looking forward to this when it comes out.

When I saw that title, I knew I had to include the whole damn thing. It’s just too ridiculous.

TruckBus-kun claiming victims back then too.

Thanks for sharing!

Really interesting perspective on this issue. Out of curiosity at one point, I got my hands on the porygon episode and the flashing is certainly jarring. It didn’t really bother me, but my wife said it gave her a headache (just a minor one, not a migraine fortunately). I had no idea that there was so much that came out of that incident. Really neat!

Wow, that sent me down a rabbit hole of searching. I am old enough to have messed around with lots of VHS tapes in my day, but I was still too young to know what was going wrong with the picture. Reading how Macrovision screwed up the picture through desyncing the scanning explains why some of the “non-authentic” tapes I got never played right for me.

At least the kids have some way to defend themselves now instead of having to rely on conveniently placed large pieces of equipment.

I was surprised to see Madoka there, but after thinking about it, she would probably be the easiest person to socially pressure into helping out. I am pretty sure that Karasuno likes Kujaku and that is why she is leaving the stuco. Not sure yet if anyone else realizes.

I was really looking forward to this reunion and I enjoyed it thoroughly. My wife has similar feelings to Kanon, wanting to be more independent in spite of her limitations, and I have to have a conversation like this with her periodically. It usually goes very similar to this chapter; that I will have times I need to rely on her, and I appreciate that she will be there for me at those times. So, she doesn’t need to feel bad about the times I am helping her.

Man, I relate to Nagisa so much in this chapter. Sometimes, you just have those days, you know? Wait…do I really relate to sensei instead?

This one had been gone for some time, it’s nice to see the TL come back. I have enjoyed this one so far.

Japanese puns are next level sometimes. So, if I understand jisho correctly, when it is written in kana (ナメる) it usually means underestimate, but with the kanji (舐める) it usually means to lick. I would have never picked up on the pun due to the writing difference. In the actual native title it is written as ナメる, so that is why the English title probably went with the underestimate translation, but the lick pun is fun.

Glad you are enjoying The Moon On a Rainy Night. I have been really into it since I found it and am glad that I have gotten a couple people to read along with me now.

Yeah, I don’t particularly mind this ending either. I mean, yeah, it’s rushed, but it’s far from the worst endings I have seen. Out of curiosity I went and checked out the reddit discussion thread for the end, and you would think Aka was the stalker that killed all their parents or something.

Yes! It’s the kind of thing that you could only notice on a rewatch.

I try to keep the clips I choose to under two minutes. Sometimes I go a little over (like this), and other times I am way under. The real limit I try to stick to is <100MB to make it not too unreasonable for people on less than stellar connections. I usually just skipped over the clips people posted to the anime subreddit that are 5+ minutes long.

I had similar criticisms of AoT season 1 and dropped it. I might have to find time to pick it back up again sometime in the future.

Hearing a lot of good things about Orb

Give it three episodes and see what you think. The first three episodes provide a nice little arc and set things up for the future. Next to Dan Da Dan, Orb has been my favorite of the season.

Things make so much more sense now. It all kind of lines up with where the shifts happened. Thanks for the explanation! Those old days where anime would blaze ahead of the source material were sure interesting sometimes.

I think the most surprising thing to me was Ruby managing to forge ahead. A couple chapters back, I was sure it was headed towards a Romeo/Juliet style complete tragedy. Her character changed a lot over the course of the series. In the early days of re-forming B Komachi, she was so insistent on never lying to where now she has adopted a similar view to Ai, that constantly lying is what she needs to do.
