It's not like the episode called for high production, they might just be saving money for big events later. They did just revive a lot of dangerous people, I expect big action scenes that will use up that budget better.

The game likely does not have any math in it anywhere, so the world does not include any of the tools that would be required to even have things like buildings as that's not part of the sexy magic vibe.

I did not read Subaru as having an affinity for dragon blood, so much as just having been infected less, but you might be onto something. Maybe its part of his rare affinity for dark magic, or maybe its related to his connection to the witch of envy.

I wonder if seeing what Lust can do is a little window into what Subaru will be able to do with the infection. Even if to a lesser effect.

Very excited this is happening, but also sad Bocchi season 2 noises.

Thanks for the post. I've been wanting to try matrix for a while, but didn't know where to start.

The original webnovel is 552 chapters, the Webtoons adaptation is about a third of the way through it at 200+ episodes, and these aren't short. I wonder what pacing they will go with. I think up through the 4th scenario at episode ~70 of the webtoon is a good stopping point, but that might be too fast and end up incoherent.

It's funny, I enjoyed the demons in Frieren because they weren't just humans of a different skin color but felt truly alien. They are not evil, they don't enjoy killing, they just do. I think there is going to be something to understand about them that we are not going to get until we get the flashback to the Demon King, which I assume will be at the end of the series.

I think what made her extra happy, was Fern being confident enough to suggest that, rather than Frieren asking her to do it.

This section killed me. Sums up my entire high school experience, even though I did not come out until almost 30.

"Even Sam herself starts to wonder if she’s a gay man, because it would definitely explain the queerness she feels all the time. It would also explain why she feels a kinship to the gay community, even though she’s not gay herself. Alas, she was a boy who exclusively liked girls — it didn’t get much more hetero than that."

That spell Frieren used to break the barrier looked like it veered into sci-fi territory. It was a cool effect.

It might just be the first sentence. He focuses on his appearance, so Frieren is more likely to remember what he looked like because it was part of his character traits.

Such a shame to see Sein leave. I look forward to what the payoff of Gorilla's story is going to end up being wherever the group meets up with Sein again.

Same, went in blind, only because so many people were hyped for it. And I can see why, it was a lot of fun. Though, I agree that they are oddly chill about the MC's sister considered she is on an unknown clock to being digested and unable to be revived.

Like, is there timer measured in weeks? months? years? That's awfully long.

Your list of anime tells me are into adventure anime or with heavy action.

First thing I thought of was Katanagatari, where our heroes go on a journey to collect 12 legendary swords.

Something with heavy action: Black Lagoon- businessman gets abandoned on a pirate island and joins them

something more adult: Vinland Saga- viking epic following a young boy on a quest for revenge

Another person who picked theirs from a video game. Pick the name you want to give yourself. Don't worry about what other people think and focus on if it makes YOU happy.

The design just looks like Claire from I'm in love with the Villainess. Not that it was a particularly unique design.

Not the best example as the old FMA branched off into anime-only original content for it's second half. So Brotherhood is the only adaptation that covers the entire source.

I'm sure Frieren will meet with him again. Might take a few hundred years to make it happen though.

Or Attack on Titan. Just stretch out the meaning of the word final until all content is covered.

With the backstories out of the way, I'm excited to see more Anne goodness. C'mon season 2.
