I like how the newest ClariS song would be completely at home in the 80s or 90s, and a different production style/mix would make that quite evident I think

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.

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

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]

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

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.

Trust in physicians experienced a historic crash in recent years. From almost 80% down to below 40%. Any ideas why? 😉

Rumors that Ukraine convinced Poland to open a second front against Russia by attacking Belarus. Russia warned recently that Belarus will make use of TNW in such a case, revealing a vulnerability from that direction. Not sure such a move works in the best interest of Poland. We could see another European country fed into the EU meat grinder.
