Lots of doom and gloom about the situation in Syria right now, but all is not lost, yet, and unless we have inside information about what's going on in Russian, Syrian, Iranian power centers, we can only assume and guess.
This assault on Syria must not be seen in isolation from events in Ukraine, Georgia, and Romania: the Beast (NATO, Israel, EU, Turkey, etc.) is losing on several fronts, even the support of the people it rules: now it attacks Syria, clinging to fading power and outdated plans.

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.
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.
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.
