That's a good theory about Liz faking losing control of her mana. She definitely seemed more intentionally manipulative this episode compared to previous. I think you are right that she likely has knowledge of the game like Alicia does.
Sometimes I just need some Osaka silliness in my life. No stakes, low energy, just absurdity and vibes.
Howdy y'all! Miss Kiyan here! Ain't from 'round these parts?
My nightmare...
I have read the beginning portion of this manga and really liked it. I am looking forward to this one.
His left arm is against the shelves behind her, while her right arm is the one covering his mouth. Yeah, it is a bit of a trick of the eyes though. You made me go back and look again and my brain did think for a sec that his left arm was somehow twisted around to cover his own mouth.
Yeah, I am confused as well, I feel like there was a lot that was left on the cutting room floor. Either that or the author really wanted to skip past all the prelims to get to a more manageable cast of characters. But, it begs the question, if all the important characters that we know make it to the Archimedes and then make it through this first round, then what was the point of them? It just makes the past couple episodes feel like a waste.
Also, Anaak just figured out it was Bam by watching him. Could nobody else up to this point? I feel like Viole's identity is the worst-kept secret ever at this point.
Dan Da Dan has been phenomenal so far. That and Orb have been the two shows this season that have really stood out as a clear step above everything else for me. As for waiting for something to finish before diving in, I absolutely do that sometimes. Most recently I did that with the Spice and Wolf remake and The Apothecary Diaries. If I had to pick one that I would be interested in bingeing this season after it wraps up, it would likely be Blue Box.
Yeah, Netflix has been stepping up their anime game. They have gotten on board (mostly) with the weekly release schedule and even agreed to co-license a series like Dragonball Daima so that it also releases on Crunchyroll. I was worried that Crunchyroll was becoming a bit of a monopoly after the Funimation merger, but honestly Netlix is probably putting up a better fight than HiDive right now.
Thanks for the info! I am just going to have to test some things and see how it goes. My wordpress site has quite a number of image galleries, so I'll probably have to do some experimenting to see how those work.
Pham feels like a cheat code. There are times that Pham just feels like a plot device more than an actual character. Find every piece of furniture and random item that had an explosive spell place on it and move it somewhere outside the castle without anybody noticing? Sure, no problem.
I had kind of forgotten how this father/daughter pair played out in the story, so it was a nice moment to see her come to understand that her father was being courageous when it mattered the most. That picking and choosing your battles was a better strategy for the outcome of protecting those he cared about. @rikka@ani.social
Yeah, unfortunately it is also only really convenient if you are on the ani.social instance. My most wished-for feature in lemmy is some way to link to posts/comments in an instance-agnostic way. Alas...
No premiere date announced yet. Check out the Crunchyroll article for additional information. Synopsis of the first season from AniList:
Saitama has a rather peculiar hobby, being a superhero, but despite his heroic deeds and superhuman abilities, a shadow looms over his life. He's become much too powerful, to the point that every opponent ends up defeated with a single punch.
The lack of challenge has driven him into a state of apathy, as he watches his life pass by having lost all enthusiasm, at least until he's unwillingly thrust in the role of being a mentor to the young and revenge-driven Genos.
