Damn, things are really falling into place. I still don't really understand what the motivations are in the past incident.

Oh, I read this LN series back in 2023 or 2024. It was pretty good. AND it's a complete story told in only 5 LN volumes.

I read the LN (and finished with the WN, because the LN wasn't fully adapted yet at the time) a couple years ago and liked it decently. I don't recall too much about it outside the premise and the character growth exhibited in the final conflict.

After watching the PV, this looks like it'll be a fun show. The animation looks like it'll be good in some ways and unexceptional in others. I think I liked all the voice actors. A few memories have swelled back up from the gutters of my mind. I think it'll be a big step up over the fantasy anime that are currently airing.

You know what, I do vaguely recall it being difficult to follow season 2's CR subtitles. At the time, I think I chalked it up to being due to the source dialog being convoluted.

Not what you're looking for, but I think Shinsekai Yori and Made in Abyss have pretty impactful psychological horror elements. I haven't gotten around to watching Higuarashi, but it's well known as a (apparently psychological) horror anime.

I do agree that the medium limits the visceral impact that visual elements have. Despite that, I was still fairly grossed out by some select scenes in Orb: On the Movements of the Earth.

Also, if you want something like a horror movie, you probably want a movie... The same suspense can't be sustained over separate 20 minute chunks.

Movie or not, I don't think there are many anime that are even attempting to fulfill your horror desires.

We get a new view of Gluttony's ability from Beatrice's perspective, like being disassembled and reassembled/rewound.

The announcement voice announcing that everything was OK was quite strange, are we supposed to accept it plainly? None of the characters seem to find it strange. They make the announcement immediately, and the announcement systems looks to be in very bad shape.

The show has hinted hard as to what's up with Al with a few of these recent episodes. I wonder if that's going somewhere, or if it's going to be a slow burn.

I'm quite surprised that they want to keep Wrath alive, I guess they're that desperate to get any edge they can against the Witch Cult.

And that ending scene with the happy-carefree music, lol. Poor dude.

why didn’t Natsuko draw Mighty Greatsword Luke to begin with?

Natsuko drew the Luke she's drawn all her life. Throughout the show she's been drawing existing animations. In the dark she comes to accept that drawing that Luke isn't enough. In the end, with the emotional support of QJ, she realizes that she should draw her own Luke, the one she's come to know and fall in love with. It's her coming to terms with her feelings towards Luke, which is emphasized by what she says after she draws him. Or so I say. A line from Natsuko about what sparked the change would've been better than listening to QJ moan. Really anything probably would've been better than listening to QJ moan. "I know, I should've drawn him shirtless!", whatever, anything else, please.

I was hoping that Natsuko would take more agency over a new ending for Tale Of Perishing after this point.

I was definitely hoping to see Natsuko draw an entire new in-canon ending for Horobiku Monogatari. Do a complete revision! That's literally the title of the show!

Title drop! Zenshuu is easily my favorite anime of the Winter 2025 season. This is partially because the Winter 2025 season on a whole may have been weak and I've delayed watching a few shows that I know I will like, but Zenshuu itself is a delightful experience.

very end spoilersJustice! 😭

A bunch of references in the posters in GENJITSU for what Natsuko drew:

That PV got me excited, I like the vibe. Action fantasy with pretty good animation? Count me in.

I'm not familiar with Radeon PowerPlay, so I don't know if there is a proper way to solve this, but you should be able to make a systemd system service to run the upp command on boot.

To do so, I think you can use the following:

[Unit]
Description=Run my_user_script
After=suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target suspend-then-hibernate.target


[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=upp -p /sys/class/drm/card1/device/pp_table set --write smc_pptable/SocketPowerLimitAc/0=312 smc_pptable/SocketPowerLimitDc/0=293 smc_pptable/TdcLimit/0=300 smc_pptable/FreqTableSocclk/1=1350 smc_pptable/FreqTableFclk/1=2000 smc_pptable/FclkBoostFreq=2000

[Install]
WantedBy=suspend.target hibernate.target hybrid-sleep.target suspend-then-hibernate.target

To configure this service:

  • Save the text (using sudo/root) to a new .service file in /etc/systemd/service. (e.g. /etc/systemd/system/my_update_pp.service)
  • run sudo systemctl daemon-reload to tell systemd to re-read the service files
  • run sudo systemctl restart my_update_pp.service to manually run the service
  • run sudo systemctl enable my_update_pp.service to tell systemd to run your service automatically on boot/wake (WantedBy tells systemd when it should include the unit/service, After, Wants, Requires, and Before help systemd decide the order to run all the units/services)

Notes

  • Usually for simple systemd services, you can omit After and set WantedBy to just WantedBy=multi-user.target, but if you also need to run upp after sleep or hibernate, then you probably need something more complex. I copied the After and WantedBy from a stackexchange answer, but I haven't tried using those targets before. You might have to add multi-user.target to the WantedBy list.
  • I don't actually know if you need to run upp after sleep/hibernate. Running on boot might be sufficient.
  • I think you can skip the chmod if you run upp as sudo/root. Systemd system services run as root by default.
  • I don't know how safe it is to mess with PowerPlay during boot. My gut says it's probably fine, but it also seems like something that could cause graphics to not work. Tread carefully.

Use triple backticks for blocks of code-type stuff

```

like so

What anime are you looking forward to watching in the Winter 2024 season?

I just finished watching Skip and Loafer, which aired this most recent spring season. I'm here to tell you: you should watch it too!

It's a coming of age story about a girl moving from the countryside to Tokyo to go to a better high school. It's full of heart-warming moments as these kids become friends and try to figure out how they should interact with the world.

The characters, story, animation, and sound are all fantastic. The show brings a comforting warmth, with a little drama to keep things interesting. Don't let this show pass you by!
