First Impressions of Fukanzen Sugiru

Like in many Isekai anime we find a meta-narrative, a world (ours) outside the world (Isekai). Concretely, the protagonist as a QA tester in a gaming world.

"What if NPCs had souls and free will, like we do? But human minds, devs, programmed every event?"

Here the story parallels the Human Experience in our World with the same in a man-made one, alluding to profound questions about ours.

In the latter, QA means making sure nothing unintended ever happens.

@heavens_feel @romin unrelated but how come I'm not seeing your replies to others on my home feed, yet I see Teto's replies, for example, on my home feed? My feed looks very isolated for that reason, as if I only follow 4 people

two weeks off. Kinda weird to switch from working-mode to constant free time

@teto @grips I never posted porn myself so that's not an issue

@teto @grips is this an open pleroma instance? I can't see myself staying long on a mastodon instance

@RehnSturm256 🤣
[mastodon has no reactions, wtf]

@teto granted, but I feel the absence of baest. It's getting too normal

@RehnSturm256 I need to follow more people, can you recommend some?

I noticed a severe drop/lack in cute drawings on my TL. It's almost uncomfortable. Who should I follow to remedy that? [bae.st withdrawals]

@teto it's an actual troon. He used to have his Twitter linked in his bio. If he still does you can tell him he will never be a woman through that lol

How many know that Seagal ran his own dojo in Osaka during a time when Japan was not yet liberal and tolerant towards its own traditions. Seagal proved himself against competition and even withstood challenges from other dojos. I write this to contrast his actual CV with the smears we all read on Western media.

This also just happened. Seagal visits Azov POW

Boosted my post about Steven Seagal from my earlier account as he happened to be in the news recently

@teto I'm on my fourth anilist account by now and they all look like that lmao Their mods are literally troons and often very young too. I only use AL occasionally if I want to check something, but I'm not giving them any data anymore.

You get banned there for the slightest thing. I can say the same thing on Tumblr and people will agree with me, even feminists, but on anilist you get banned for the same words. Total clown show.

@shortstories Yes, he's now on the "Trump Team"

@shortstories then it's probably a feature on some app. Interesting

@shortstories I wish mastodon instances had the edit function. I got used to it on bae.st and it proves really useful

Let's be fair, there is no law or requirement written anywhere that a webtoon artist should know about dramatic technique. Just the intention to create something is enough for that, and there's nothing wrong with it.

But the moment a studio invests big money into its anime production you should expect at least one educated guy to take a look at it and say ce nest pas possible. We need to cut and reorder things. But none of that happened, and we got lukewarm and underwhelming nonsense.

Senpai wa Otokonoko severely under delivered in the end, and not because of the topics treated. Just awful pacing, narrative, and overall decisions what to develop. It felt like three different seasons mixed into one, and nothing got the time it needed and deserved. The whole "muh parents" arc and the "old friends from school appear" at the second last episode delivered the kill shot.
