You probably require to watch this episode several times to appreciate what’s going on. On my first watch, it appeared to be dull slice-of-life with the Morfonica girls. However, small mistakes and sneaky changes are introduced as the episode progresses. This is where the fun part starts.

- Comment on [Discussion] What anime have well-written female characterization? 16 hours ago:
I think it might be a good idea to tell us what series you didn’t like so we know how low the bar is.
I find The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya a little below the bar when it comes to portraying women versus IRL.

Totally slipped from my mind that the manga is a Shounen Jump manga. Your concern on the long-term trajectory of the story is valid. Shounen Jump isn’t well known for properly ending manga.

- Comment on [Episode] Akane-banashi - Episode 9 discussion 5 days ago:
Issho’s retcon is not only continuing, but accelerating, and has gone from disappointing to revolting.
I think it is appropriate to his character as the current master in the field. He’s… to put in a certain way, “more accommodating” to the newbies, because that was what the audience demands. This stance is him putting a different mask appropriate for the current time. That also means, he’s willing to flip-flop on his definition of “good rakugo” based on the outcome. I don’t think he’s doing it out of malice; he just cares a lot about the art form and probably is anxious at the prospect of it dying in the future. That doesn’t erase the risk that his personal identity and brand of rakugo would get erased in the process. It would also be grating to the witnesses of his previous hardline standards that included expelling potential shin’uchis out of the blue.
This episode is more subdued. Akane’s VA really sold the bland version of Jugemu well to me. My instinct was “this is boring”, but it appeared to be intentional. It also showed the competing philosophies employed by the rakugokas. Hikaru, the in-universe VA who performed before Akane, performed for herself. Akane performed for the audience. For our protagonist, this is a high bar to clear if she needed to win. Not only she had to perform “Jugemu”, but also do it right after the two presumptive winners of the Karaku cup.

- Comment on Use of Japanese anime and manga for AI training is a "serious issue that undermines creators' rights," CODA warns tech companies 6 days ago:
Copyright law was made by those in power to protect the idea of intellectual property, but clearly they are willing to ignore their own rules at the first convenience.
It’s almost as if it’s they’re not laid out for the artists’ and consumers’ benefit. The only positive I can see from this is to demonstrate that a lot of claims of monetary harm are bogus.

- Comment on "Your Letter" Manhwa Anime MOVIE Officially Announced by CoMix Wave Films 2 months ago:
The latest installment in the “Your” series, Your Letter. Trailer
Observations
- The usual CoMix Wave quality is there. The bar they set is very high
- Like Flavors of Youth, it has a non-Japanese source material (Korean)
- With a Korean source material, I can’t help but think if Lost in Starlight has some influence in it (LiS, in turn, was likely influenced by CoMix Wave’s own Weathering With You)
- Korean VAs are still not up to par with Japanese VAs in terms of the acting itself and how their voices are mixed; considering the setting, it’s overall a good thing that it is the original audio.

Surprisingly well. It feels episodic and at the same time utterly consistent in pacing. The jokes and the humor, while definitely retro, don’t pass too quickly nor overstay their welcome.

Unfortunately, it’s all downhill for Oshi no Ko after this. But because of how the manga ended. This is where I’ll plan to stop watching the anime.

Penultimate episode. The battle in the fort is intense. Toni Anji met his fate, so as Nikaido. Tsurumi found Asirpa, who would have been caught if not for Sugimoto’s timely intervention. It’s now shaping up to be the final showdown, while Ogata and the Russian sniper remain as wildcards to potentially spoil the fun.

Ganso BanG Dream Chan: If you play Girls’ Band Party or otherwise are familiar with most of the characters and the bands, it gets really funny. Perfect for 1.5 minutes of relaxation. ED slaps as well
Golden Kamuy Final Season: I thought at first it would be a bore. Turns out, I massively slept on this series. Episode 6 has quite the goated title drop, unmatched in anime.

Paced discussions from one. The big issue with Stone Ocean is David Productions’s B team animated it. It’s still good. It’s just it’s worse compared to other JoJo parts.

Finally caught up with Golden Kamuy. I thought at first it would be a bore. Turns out, I massively slept on this series. Episode 6 has quite the goated title drops, unmatched in anime.
Now for this episode, the final battle begins in Goryoukaku: Tsurumi vs. Hijikata. The navy ships did massive damage on the fort, but somehow, back in the Boshin War, Hijikata hid their flagship’s main gun. Here, Kadokura’s party used it to neutralize the ships (RIP, Koito’s dad).
Still, it was enough for the 7th Division to enter the fort. Asirpa has to protect the deed book at all costs. And who knows if there’s more room for Hijikata and Sofia to betray her. The one constant in Golden Kamuy is that there’s no friends, only interests. With the possible exception of Asirpa and the Immortal Sugimoto’s partnership.
