Done!

I didn't realize 7th Prince had a LN. I read a good chunk of the manga and really the standout feature is the art. The story is entirely forgettable. The anime is similar in that the production was a more interesting story than the actual show.

Really curious how Vending Machine will play out if it goes anime original. I feel like one of the main reasons the first season "worked" was you could tell that the author had a peculiar passion about vending machines. Not sure that can be replicated if they start doing original content.

Alright, now I really want to know how Lumir got that body.

Hebizono is, hands-down, my favorite character in this series. So, a whole chapter focused on her is a treat.

I have never had bourbon curry before, but now I feel like I need it.

I can't remember the last time I saw menstruation referenced in a manga. This series continues to be a good time.

Just one more episode to go!

I just caught up and this show has been an absolute gem.

Her whole journey I was preparing myself for the worst. Then, just when I am finally feeling ok, she hits me with that line. For an episode that had remarkably few spoken lines of dialog, that was an effective one.

So, as I mentioned in my comment in the anime discussion thread this week, I have been doing lots of traveling the past few weeks with very limited internet access. I am tentatively back home this week, so I have quite a bit of catching up to do. I'll do my best to pick up my reading again, but in the meantime I just want to give a huge shoutout to all of you that have continued discussions in my absence!

So, the past couple of weeks have been a bit crazy for me. You may have noticed my posting activity has been way down compared to normal. I have had a series of trips over the past couple of weeks that has kept me on the road most days. Some for work, some for personal reasons, and only some of them were planned. So, I haven't really had the energy to do too much in the way of watching subbed media, and for most of my time traveling, my internet connection was extremely spotty at best.

So, I haven't watched too much anime in the past 2 weeks or so. One thing I was able to watch (after I listened to a podcast about it on my travels), was Project A-Ko. It was a nice and compact standard definition, so I could still watch it on a crappy mobile connection out in the sticks.

Overall, I enjoyed it, but it wasn't one of my favorites. The thing that I liked the most about it is just how much all of the main characters completely ignored the plot. It made for a good amount of humor that there are metaphorical giant flashing signs all around them that this thing is important, and just none of them care or even acknowledge it. They are all too wound up in their own little thing and end up influencing the world around them only coincidentally.

I really, really wish that mods were empowered to just toggle that themselves.
