Funnily enough Hatoful Boyfriend has a Linux release. When I try playing that in Japanese though I get a weird issue with fonts not showing up even though I'm pretty sure I have the correct fonts installed. Maybe it's some weird containerization thing that keeps the game from seeing the font. When I try playing the Windows release it just doesn't launch... is what I was going to say but I just tried it with Proton Experimental and it seems to work perfectly now. Problem solved I guess?

p.s. - Nvidia, partners old gaming laptop

My condolences.

I'd love to see more G Gundam but it's hard to imagine them actually doing that. They released a new novel though so maybe...

I just want my HG Nether Gundam kit. Is that too much to ask?! Maybe a HG Cobra Gundam too, and a RG Nobell Gundam to match RG God Gundam?

Really? The only one I've had issues with is Persona 5, and even then I was able to get it working. Which GPU are you using?

Edit: now that I think about it I did have some trouble with Hatoful Boyfriend.

Honestly besides more Dan Da Dan and Witch Watch I'm not seeing much to get excited over. Was hoping for Season 2 of Skip and Loafer but it seems I'll have to wait a bit longer for that one.

With how many things I log into on my phone I think I'd rather have no phone at all than one that's too old to receive security updates.

Even in the page given as an example here there are two speech bubbles that are pushing their boundaries.

Oh, of course. I'm not saying it's easy to produce, or that it should be cheap. From a corporate perspective it hardly matters why it's cheap though.

I could easily see it happening, especially with how comparatively cheap anime is to produce.

Let's be honest, Morihito is probably way safer without her help anyways.

Blue Box is pretty wholesome, especially for a shounen romance.

A couple of the manga I've been following ended in the last couple weeks, so I'll briefly discuss them:

Super Psychic Policeman Chojou:

The main character is of course what it says in the title. This is a gag manga, and I think it succeeded at that. Good goofs; nearly every chapter had me laughing. I'd give it a 7.5/10. A good time while it was around, but I won't particularly miss it.

Syd Craft: Love is a Mystery:

This is a story about a great detective who doesn't particularly want to be a great detective and is clueless when it comes to love. Showed some promise at first, but quickly became a generic harem thing. It actually had some decent mystery stories, and it was also still funny sometimes, but I probably wouldn't have read it to the end if I didn't think it was likely getting the axe soon anyways (it only survived for 28 chapters). 6/10. Maybe 100 Girlfriends raised my standards too much for what a harem manga can be, but it's kind of damning that I find myself happy to have a few minutes of time back each week rather than sad that it got axed.

My prediction for the next WSJ manga to get axed: Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi

Ultimate Exorcist Kiyoshi impressed me in the first few dozen chapters with great style and a great sense of humor. It's been letting me down in the last couple dozen chapters though with a combat arc that just goes on and on and on with the most boring-ass generic shounen fights I've ever seen. It's really sad how far it's fallen; I'm still reading it out of hope that it'll return to humor at the end of this arc but I'm worried that the arc seems kinda final and it'll end on the most mid note imaginable. The first half is probably an 8/10 for me but lately it's been more of a 6/10 manga.

Meanwhile I'm re-reading Kaguya-sama: Love is War, Blue Box, and Demon Slayer in Japanese. Those have all been a lot of fun with Kaguya-sama especially showing off just how great a love comedy can be. It's not quite perfect, but it's close.

Despite its flaws Jujutsu Kaisen will probably always be one of my favorite battle shounen. I love so much how

Season 1 Jujutsu Kaisen power system spoiler

Characters canonically power up by monologueing about what their powers do in the middle of battle, and there are even instances where characters hold back information while doing so to trick their opponent.

The only shounen that does not follow this formula off the top of my head is

Don't forget Fullmetal Alchemist!

Would've been nice to have spent a bit more time with lighting and posing. I feel like there's a lot of cool potential for posing 2 kits together but in practice I have trouble actually making it look good.

Took some posing inspiration from the statue of the man fighting four babies in Vigeland Park. The SD-EX kits are:

  • Gundam Unicorn
  • Gundam Barbatos Rex
  • Gundam Exia
  • Gundam 00
