My wife is really into classic rock and the first time she mentioned the band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, I thought she was pulling my leg. I was positive she made it up and was teasing me. Now it is wild to me that they have been called out in a manga. This author knows the deep cuts.
I also love this face:
I moved a while back and I am sad that there aren’t any batting cages near where I live now. It is a surprisingly fun way to spend some time. I haven’t played baseball in years, but it was still satisfying to get a good hit.
Ending the chapter like that is killing me. I need more right now.
Agree about Spice and Wolf so far. I have kept watching based on the fantastic reputation the first show has (that I haven’t watched), but this season has so far not really connected with me. If it wasn’t “Spice and Wolf”, then I would have dropped it by now.
The one thing that any music anime has to do right in my opinion is the music. So, it is a shame to hear that Girls Band Cry doesn’t deliver on that front. I don’t typically watch music shows, but I was debating checking this one out since I heard good things about the CG. So, I might just check out Trigun Stampede or something else instead.
7th Prince was top tier trash. Glad it was renewed.
The adaptation completely blew away my expectations. Really glad that they are keeping it going.
I ended up dropping the manga back when I checked it out for the same reason. The author clearly came up with an interesting premise, but then couldn’t figure out how to keep it interesting as they kept writing.
Went through the list of shows I watched and wrote down a couple thoughts:
Based on what I have seen elsewhere, there are a couple shows that I think might be worth checking out sometime in the future when I get a chance. In no particular order:
Ryu was so hilariously bad, as were some of the monsters they fought in that show (that I really enjoyed still). It reminded me of KamiKatsu, where they intentionally had absolutely awful CG as a joke. Well, people weren’t sure whether it was meant to be a joke or not until the author came out and said that the bad CG was intentional.
Mondays, am I right?
I am realizing since we are getting closer to the end that we haven’t really seen the class prez very much. The series started with her as a main cast member, but she has faded into the background over time.
Also, I tend to think of Nonoka as a side character, but then she hits you with one of these and strongly reasserts her main cast credentials.
Wow, those very obviously CG toys for Gilbert really stick out.
This is a bit of a jump forward from the last chapter I posted because they are a fair bit ahead on the group’s site compared to Mangadex. I just finished getting caught up. The Kewn extension works just fine in Mihon to continue reading it that way.
@zabadoh@ani.social I have updated the sorting for this post. I mirrored the romaji name to the English name column if there was not a separate English name and then sorted by the English column. Let me know if you have any ideas for further improvements.
Additionally, I have added some functionality to the bot to be able to format a wiki page that provides the status for all the shows it is currently tracking. I have a prototype version of the page up here. This isn’t automated yet to update automatically, so it is just a snapshot in time. Let me know if you have any ideas for improvement there as well.
edit: The page is now hooked into my automation scripting, so it should be updated in an ongoing manner.
Relevant video about how little promotion Disney does for anime.
So, I don’t watch Mushoku Tensei, but it was impossible for me not to be spoiled on what went down in the most recent episode. It was a huge jump up in the vote share for the show this past week so that it easily clears the rest of the table to land comfortably in the #1 spot.
Kaiju No. 8 had a similarly large jump in the vote share this week. I don’t know what exactly happened there, but it is an impressive jump up into the top 3.
Thank you for the information! I would have thought リリー would be the typical way to write it, but katakana can be weird like that. I once looked up how to write my name in katakana and was completely dumbfounded by how its done (wa = ウォ for some reason).
I have read most of the manga for this series, but had a lot of fun with the series based in large part to the great VA work. Rys, Uliminas, and the other hero character were all fantastically acted.
I am guessing it is a pun based on my limited knowledge of the language. I never knew before why the lily flower was synonymous with yuri relationships, but I just looked it up and it’s because the way you pronounce the kanji for the lily flower (百合) is yuri (ゆり) and the lily was traditionally associated with women’s purity in Japan. Then, in the 70’s, it was used to describe lesbian readers of a BL magazine by the editor and it kind of took off from there.
The title is written as リリィ which is “riri” (or lily) but written a little weirdly with the small ィ at the end. I don’t know enough about the nuances of katakana to know the significance there. I am guessing that the Lily part of the title is literally correct, but that the target audience is supposed to get the second meaning implying yuri.
Then again, I am not a native Japanese speaker…so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Lol, that’s a good way of putting it. Even when Hiiragi is all ready for it to happen, we can’t because we need to have a serious talk about our future instead.
I hadn’t heard of chanpon before, but apparently it is primarily a regional dish to Nagasaki (wiki).
