We get parent backstory this chapter. So, it seems like Miko inherited her abilities from her dad and that this spirit that has been tailing her actually started tailing her mom. Not sure yet how this amulet is going to play a role.

Well, there it is. Next stop is wedding and then parenthood. It’s a rare chapter that these two actually end up communicating their feelings.

I just caught up on a couple chapters. The snow this chapter hit a bit close to home as I feel like the past two weeks of my life have mainly consisted of clearing snow.

Man, this chapter reminded me that there is an anime in the works and I am really looking forward to it. These two are great.

It was nice to get a whole episode devoted to one of the girls. I imagine they probably rearranged some manga chapters to consolidate this story a bit since there were three separate title cards during the episode. I wonder if we are likely to get whole episodes about the other girls coming up.

Yeah…it won’t be private messages next year for sure. Lesson learned!

Apocalypse Hotel, the overall winner, is available on Crunchyroll (at least in the US, it can vary by market). Honestly, if you are in the US, most of these are going to be on Crunchyroll I think. CR are continuing their “take over all the things” arc within this niche. So, if you only subscribe to one service, it should be the one. Other places you find some quality titles from time to time would be Netflix, HiDive, Amazon Prime, or Disney+.

Meta Comment:
Thanks again, everybody that voted! If you want to check out the anonymized ballot information and inspect the code I used to process the votes, you can find a repository I made here.
Total turnout this year (~25 votes) was down quite a bit compared to last year (~90 votes). I think there were a couple contributing factors to this:
- The private-message voting system was new, and I don’t think it seems like it was popular. Last year I had run a survey site that lets people fill out a web form for their vote. However, the software was really flaky on the backend side of things and I didn’t want to run it again. Also, there was not really any way to prevent somebody from voting multiple times because I couldn’t tie a vote to a user account.
- Last year’s voting period happened over the holidays, and I suspect that boosted turnout.
- I think total overall activity is down compared to a year ago, especially so since we are in the middle of a season. The active user count always tends to tick up when a new season kicks off, but then falls back down a bit to coast until the next season sees another bit of a spike. So, doing these awards in the middle of a season probably didn’t help turnout.
Please feel free to let me know if you have any ideas for improvement in the future. Whether that is about the voting process, nomination process, timing, whatever…
As for the award winners, there were a couple titles that really soaked up lots of votes in any category they were nominated for. Specifically, CITY, Apocalypse Hotel, and Chainsaw Man - Reze Arc got a huge portion of the voteshare whenever they were nominated. So, if there is any takeaway from these awards for me, it’s that those are this community’s standout favorites from last year.
Other interesting things I noticed:
- I was glad to see Ninkoro doing so well in the Best Comedy category. I loved the dark humor in that series so much, and the anime really elevated the source material in lots of ways. Glad to see others agreed!
- I was also happy to see Rock is a Lady’s Modesty do well in the OST category. It’s always nice when an anime about music actually has good music in it.
- I found it interesting that Maomao absolutely ran away with the voting for best Voice Acting, but she didn’t even make the nomination list for best character. In fact, Shisui received more nominations than Maomao for best character.

You might have heard of jumping the shark before, but now I posit that we can talk about fighting the snake. I hope that this arc is over now, it’s honestly been so dumb.

Not an explanation per se, but all monsters do it in Frieren’s world, not just demons. You’ll notice that when they kill normal, non-speech-having monsters, they dissolve away as well.

- Comment on [Chapter] Tonari no Neko to Koi Shirazu - Ch. 32 - MangaDex 1 week ago:
What a great chapter. I feel like we are getting more and more straightforward romances that manage to mostly avoid contrivances that prevent the leads from communicating how they feel.
- Comment on Usuzumi no Hate / The Color of the End: Mission in the Apocalypse - Ch. 40 - The Wedding - MangaDex 1 week ago:
This is the first time we’ve seen a cremation happen. Before, she has always taken the bodies away to a crematory. Also, not sure what to make of that ending. Should it be hopeful that we’ll return here in a more peaceful time, or ominous? Time will tell I guess.
- Comment on [Episode] Tune In to the Midnight Heart • Mayonaka Heart Tune - Episode 8 discussion 1 week ago:
I’ve been enjoying this one a lot too. Frankly, more than I thought I would. Yeah, the production quality is not great, but the characters are a lot of fun. Yamabuki isn’t the most likeable, but he is definitely way more interesting than most other harem MCs out there. Also agreed about the unadulterated tsundere-ness on display. Best tsundere out these since 100 Girlfriend’s Karane.

I still regularly listen to both the OP and ED of Bravern. Incredible show from top to bottom.

I have been burned by this plenty of times in my self-hosting life. Nothing to be ashamed of. I don’t think there will be any issues migrating at this point so early on.

I can add it to the wiki. It’d be nice if lemmy surfaced these limits, even if it is just the error message.

Alright, I’ll see if I can correct rikka.
