Akira panicking was adorable. I felt that missing the last train in my bones. I regularly missed the last train home during grad school.

His classmates are great. Everybody wants this rocketship to take off.

Apologies, but you will have to wait a day or two for my normal comments in these threads due to traveling on my part. I just don’t have the literal or figurative bandwidth to do much atm.

I’ve been busy and traveling the past week or so, but just caught enough time to read this chapter. I loved this chapter. I feel like it’s all too often that a misunderstanding like this feels contrived relies on overly dense characters. However this one feels like it absolutely fits.

Unless you want to start a broader discussion about this series, this is probably better suited to a community like !animemes@ani.social. Feel free to resubmit with more discussion if you want, but I am removing this for now as it is more like a meme.

The hero’s identity being discovered by Mira is playing out differently than I thought it would, but I am glad. I was worried that the professor would pressure Mira to go after the belt more. Now I feel like he just wants Mira to be happy.

Haha, true! This does bug me in this series. Like you have one or two little burners and a frying pan. You aren’t making giant piles of food that quickly.
- Comment on ONE PIECE: Season 2 | Special Announcement 6 days ago:
So, I’ve gotten a couple messages/reports about this post being not anime. I concede that this is strictly true, but in the past we have tacitly allowed some posts that are pretty anime-adjacent to remain standing. There are previous posts about the One Piece live action show that have remained standing in this community with active discussions, so I am allowing this one to stay. This is similar to the recent post about a Peruvian animated show that isn’t strictly anime by the community’s rules, but it’s close enough that I decided to let the trailer stay up so that people can check it out.
If posts about this adaptation are too frequent, or if I get a big backlash about this, then things might change going forward. However, it is difficult to deny the tremendous impact and reach that One Piece has had on the medium of anime (and manga), so I completely understand that there is likely to be a high degree of intersection between anime fans and live action One Piece fans. So, an occasional post with a big PV or news item I think is fine. I would not allow something like episode discussions.
As always, I am open to feedback (please keep it civil). So, feel free to reach out to me or hitagi either here in the comments or privately.

Haha, I thought this was a sudden end to the series or something like that. Her sticker budget is impressive.
- Comment on [Discussion] 26 Year Old Bachelorette's Meals - Ch. 23-24 1 week ago:
Huge steps forward here; going out shopping, meeting another acquaintance, cooking for herself. Back when I was in grad school, I used to do a lot of frozen meals because of a pretty extreme and unpredictable schedule. Transitioning from that to a healthier diet and better sleep schedule made a huge difference in my general health.
These days, I totally relate to her that cooking after work is usually just too much:
However, I do usually just make a big batch of something on Sunday and eat it the rest of the week. It also helps with matching portions for recipes since most recipes that you find are usually 4-6 servings or so. If I was just cooking for my wife and I each night, it would be annoying to constantly be scaling down recipes.

She really puts a lot of effort into decorating and customizing each of her plans as the day went on. She must have been at her desk breaking out the sticker sheet.

This almost feels like a title drop since Ice Princess is what she is called. It’s the role she was born to play!

aversion towards web UI for apps running on my PC
Yeah, I get this. Web UI’s are taking over everything it seems because it makes things a lot easier to port between platforms in a uniform way. However, I still prefer not having everything be in a browser, I have too many tabs open already!

Fruits Basket is amazing and I hope you enjoy it. However, don’t expect it to scratch the harem itch. It is more of a love triangle, and I feel like romance isn’t much of a focus for many episodes either when the story tends to focus on things like supernatural elements or family trauma instead. I absolutely love Fruits Basket though.
As a side note, I remembered that you mentioned Misuzu from Tomo-chan in your post last week. Well, prepare yourself for Saki Hanajima, the obvious character inspiration for Misuzu. I don’t think the ways that the male characters interact with her are as annoying though.

desktop alternative to Mihon
I have been experimenting with Suwayomi after @PrincessKadath@ani.social mentioned it among all this Mangadex drama. It isn’t strictly a desktop alternative, but it is accessible via a web ui in the browser.
Lots of Suwayomi rambling and impressions
So, if you don’t want to mess with DNS, VPN, proxies, port forwards, etc. you could just run it on your local machine and just access it from that one machine. Alternatively, if you already know/want to learn selfhosting, then you can put it on a publicly accessible domain or behind a VPN and access it anywhere on any of your devices. The nice thing about it is that it is essentially the same as Mihon. It has a similar UI, uses the same exact extensions, and can even import a backup you make from mihon to transfer over all your series and read history. The main drawback is how it interacts with Mihon. They advertise that it can be added as a source to Mihon itself and can sync things back and forth. I found that syncing things from Suwayomi to Mihon works really well. However, syncing from Mihon to Suwayomi doesn’t. Also, in my use case when I am trying to share a link to post to this community, getting that from Mihon doesn’t work. That’s because accessing a series in Suwayomi from Mihon’s webview doesn’t work, so I can’t really grab a url to share. So, instead, I have lately been running Suwayomi on my homeserver to basically just download and back up a bunch of series while I do my reading still from Mihon. This means that if stuff is removed again in the future, I would have an archive still that I could go back to instead of resorting to sketchier and sketchier aggregator sites.
Totally agreed about The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn’t a Guy At All. I was positive that the prom arc was going to be a finale, but I am happy to be wrong.

I haven’t watched Quintessential Quintuplets, but I have read the manga. Overall the story has its ups and downs but I ended up generally liking it by the end. If you are looking for an alternative that is perhaps a bit less dramatic and doesn’t include the familial angle, you could try Bokuben (another series where I read the manga instead of watching the anime). I really liked how that series ended (and the manga does something a bit unique with the ending I really enjoyed).

I was tempted to check out Kingdoms of Ruin to hate watch back when it was airing because it just sounds so ridiculous.

It was a lot easier to get Frost’s backstory than I thought it would be. I don’t think there were any shocking reveals in it, but it was a good chance for the two of them to get closer.
Now…what the heck is up with Dahlia?

Yeah, that is fine as long as it is available when you post it. I similarly post Viz chapters from time to time as well (Tsumiki mainly).
