I’m happy they gave Elrand a likable voice and animation. In the light novels he comes off as utterly unlikable and that always felt wrong somehow when contrasted with how the other characters interact with him. In the anime he has a completely different feel and I think it’s a good change. Maybe that’s how he is in the JP source as well and it got lost in translation.

I’ve been teased by Holo in VR—best 15 minutes of my life.

You’re right. It at least sounds interesting enough for my taste.

As for Myne we have to take whatever the curator at https://lnrelease.github.io/ provides, so if you see something missing feel free to add it in the comments.

Probably because it’s not a light novel. I don’t want to flare up yet another discussion about what constitutes as a “light novel” and what doesn’t, but I assume that is the reason why it isn’t listed in the source that Myne gets her data from. If that’s the reason why it isn’t listed, I’d personally agree with that decision. Though we enter some serious grey area where I wouldn’t remove it if someone were to post about it.

Selina is ready to crush anyone who stands in her way.

A quote from the synopsis of The Wicked Princess and Her Twelve Eyes. Looks like it’s going to be something for me if it really plays out this way and isn’t just lip-service.

It’s the Pokemon of world ending events. Next season we probably get a show with antropomorphed versions of apocalyptic events that can sing a idol concert after wiping out a landmass. The songs will be a banger.

So, I am wondering if Youko isn’t more or less replaying somebody else’s memories when she has these visions of a pre-apocalypse world.

That’s a good point. My current working theory is that the “sister” character is a teacher AI from the shelter MC grew up in. Maybe based on a real-world person like the robot in this episode. The memories/flashbacks are from some sort of future VR learning course. She is always drawn with some sort of digital fringe in those scenes.

Either way, it’s enough of a mystery hook to keep me watching.

<To Another World… with Land Mines!> Volume 11 - Would you believe it? There’s actually another one of the titular land mines. Still only figurative land mines, though, so fans of IEDs will still be left unfulfilled.

<Cooking with Wild Game>: Volume 30 - 30 volumes already. After Death March, it’s the longest-running series of the ones that I read. This volume, though, wasn’t something to be celebrated since for the entire volume, there is a danger hovering over the characters I’ve grown to care about, and I dislike that very much. Just don’t write characters that are so good that I care about them and then dangle them over danger. It’s not a nice thing to do.

<Dagashi-ya Yahagi: Setting Up a Sweets Shop in Another World>: Volume 4 - Last volume had a cliffhanger where MC was drafted into a war. This volume starts with “Long story short, we won the war”. such a fake-out. Don’t get me wrong, I immensely prefer the slice of life over a war arc, but why bring it up in the first place, then as a cliffhanger?

Same studio that has only Zom 100. The animation in the first episodes that I’ve seen were okay - not amazing in my opinion and I cannot say if the adaptation was good or bad since I don’t know the source material. It’s wish the adaptation would have gone to an established studio with a great track record. That doesn’t mean that established studios cannot fuck adaptations up, but I think the chances of them fumbling are lower.

I hope so much that they don’t fuck this up. This deserves a high quality adaptation. Why did a no-name studio get the rights for this?

We got some more apocalyptic events:

• rising sea levels
• endocrine disruptors causing mutations
• meteor hit

Another comic book villain who’s cruel just to show off how evil(™) OWEL is. This is a drop for me.

“An unhinged comedy”. Could go either way…

Nothing in it that I could really recommend. Isekai Walking is okay for the price.

If the Potion anime wasn’t on this season this would be the most lazy ass show.

Air Fryer works really well for me.

Okay, first turn off is the anti-social edge lord MC. Then there is the way he’s surprisingly perceptive towards the ulterior motives of the king and his group, but seems to immediately trust the blond knight blindly. Maybe the anime skipped something here in his internal reasoning, but this stuck out to me.

“Occupational hazard” is going to be my go-to excuse for everything from now on.

Nope. For a long while, it felt natural how those two slowly grew closer. Somewhere around where the anime ended (end of Volume 2) was the point where they should have switched from friendship to courtship. But instead, the author decided to bait their relationship ad infinitum. The sheer amount of stupidity they go through in their internal monologues to explain away any awkward advances one of them might have made is mind-numbing. Funnily enough, it’s pissing off the in-universe side characters as well. So the author seems to have some semblance of self-awareness.

I really dislike those one-dimensional comic villains. They actively make me dislike whatever show they are in. I hope this was a one-off to get the girl to show off her abilities, but I’m out if there are more of them in the next episode.
