Wow, that was really well drawn and directed!
The soundtrack was great too!
I haven’t read the source manga, but the use of what has to be the selection of frames from it was great!

October 2026! I loved both this show and Blue Lock, even though they’re very different.

I was looking at “Yuusha No Rokkotsu”/Hero’s Rib and forgot to add it to my list.
It looks crazy enough with its mix of animation, live action, and crazy art styles to actually be entertaining.

Some obvious no brainers:
- Dorohedoro S2
- Witch Hat Atelier
- Re:Zero S4
- Classroom Of The Elite S4
- Dr. Stone Science Future Pt 3
Maybe these will be good:
- MARRIAGETOXIN - Because Studio Bones
- Liar Game - Because MadHouse
- Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring - Because Studio WIT
- Fist Of The Northstar reboot
Others I’ll try a couple of episodes:
- Beginning After The End S2 - I’m just weird and actually watched S1
- Rooster Fighter
- Nippon Sangoku - Sounds interesting

Of the 6, I sort of liked “The Peoples Tree” best, but none of the candidates really struck me as really brilliant.

Oh okay, so level up the junior party members.
Got it!

The magical fog was also the demon’s personal mana radar. If Fern had used magic to fly up to the moon, the demon’s tracking mana missiles would have shot her down.
Once the fog was dispersed by Methode, Fern was able to conceal her mana by flying outside of the demon’s detection range, visually hiding herself in the moon’s light and blast him from orbit.
Good thing it was a full moon that night.
Why didn’t the demon detect Fern’s mana use while she was flying into the moon and shoot her down then?
Hey, don’t question the drama.
Fern is an example of Methode’s “mages who only study killing magic who wouldn’t make it out of here alive” because she hasn’t studied much else besides Zoltraak.
Methode recognizing the bad matchups and helping Fern was great though.
And why was Frieren hovering above, smirking and watching like an asshole while her allies and pupil were in mortal danger?
Her OP-ness would have made easy work of those two demons, and then where would the drama come from?

- Comment on Which faction you expect to be antagonist in some next Star Trek story? 1 week ago:
I don’t know.
Is routine suppression or destruction for AIs, besides obviously dangerous individuals like Lore and Moriarty, mentioned in the historical documents?
- Comment on Which faction you expect to be antagonist in some next Star Trek story? 1 week ago:
Sentient AIs seem to be a lot less common and less powerful computationally in Fed space than in the Culture.
Lore/Data/Lal, Moriarty, the Doctor and that’s pretty much it.
V’Ger is earlier, but was overclocked by unknown alien technology, and therefore not replicable by the Feds.
Although a starship computer of the TNG era, i.e. the latter third of the 24th Century, has enough computing power to create a sentient AI, Moriarty, by what is essentially a mistake in Data’s vibe coding, there seems to be some kind of brake to keep starship computers from becoming sentient themselves.
Culture AIs come in a huge range of capabilities from GSV commanding Minds to drones like Mawhrin-Skel with about the same level of intelligence as the biological citizens, to a sentient survival suit.
If you read closely, although the meatbag characters largely take center stage, it’s the GSV Minds who directly control the vast majority of resources, come to consensus among themselves on strategy, or go loose cannon, or sulk in a corner, and everyone else is literally just along for the ride.
- Comment on Which faction you expect to be antagonist in some next Star Trek story? 1 week ago:
Nor really.
The Feds still have meatbags making decisions.
The Culture humanoids are “lucky” enough to have benevolent AIs who spoil them like pets.
Less benevolent AI rule might look like Saberhagen’s Berserkers, or Battlestar Galactica’s Cylons.
As weird as it sounds, I don’t think the Borg are ruled by AI. If they were, they’d be a lot scarier than they already are. Cyborg meatbags, e.g. the Borg Queen, are still in charge of making stupid decisions.
- Comment on Which faction you expect to be antagonist in some next Star Trek story? 1 week ago:
How about something like The Culture?
Highly advanced multi-species civilization ruled by benevolent AIs?
I have a nagging feeling that something like it should have appeared in Trek at some point.

Interesting setup episode.
While not much action happens, we get a little more information on why this town is so screwed up economically.

The term “anime” is debatable, because it’s an entirely Chinese production, but it does have that anime look and feel, if not so much the polish of a modern anime production.
- Comment on WHISPER OF THE HEART 4K Remaster | Official Trailer - In IMAX April 21 1 week ago:
Ah, the movie that re-introduced me to the John Denver’s Country Roads song.
But what I remember is the “Concrete Road” parody that the main character sings at some point, because it’s just reality for me as a city dweller.
- Comment on Super Robot Anime suggestions? 1 week ago:
Try for the original Japanese 80s Macross TV show. It’s packed with young animating talent of now-classic directors.
The movie Macross: Do You Remember Love is a classic.
Macross Plus was a sequel OVA series that has some nice jet fighter dogfighting sakuga.
- Comment on Super Robot Anime suggestions? 1 week ago:
I second this. The villain robots having “genuine people personalities” was a huge win for this show.
- Comment on Super Robot Anime suggestions? 1 week ago:
It’s more like sentai tokusatsu robots (think the Mega Zords from Power Rangers) but SSSS.Gridman is a cool reboot of Tsuburaya (Ultraman) Productions.
Along similar lines, Samurai Flamenco is another fun take on tokusatsu heroes, complete with a combining sentai robot

I think Akane is the only real choice to play Ai.
She’s the actress with the most talent, and can even put those white stars in her eyes on demand.
It’ll be a good excuse to get her into B-Komachi and fulfill the OP scenes.

Spriggan isn’t very subtle are they?
The mercenaries should be very concerned after seeing Spriggan’s penchant of uncontrolled violence.
We haven’t even seen a copper changing hands yet.
What even makes them think they’ll get paid?
This show’s writing and pacing are just so off.

Just when you thought the plot was moving along, things get reset…
At least nobody’s mad at Isobe for cancelling last week’s fight.

Genau does have a point.
The only reason that demons speak to humans is to get an advantage: To deceive, distract, whatever it takes to kill their prey.

Off topic, but as you may or may not know, the largest/highest traffic lemmy instance, lemmynsfw went down about 2 weeks ago.
It’s been sort of recovered by one of the admins, but it only exists as an archive, or it will when that becomes available.
The surviving admin has created fedinsfw.app as a piefed instance because of much better moderation tools.
But content-wise, they’re starting from scratch.

Brynhildr is an understated but devastating show that I really wanted more of.
It was never going to be massively popular.
The characters have powers, but they’re very limited.
It reminds me of those classic 70s and 80s British low budget sci fi survival horror shows: Survivors, Day Of The Triffids, etc. where the characters had to think or luck their way out of sticky situations.
- Comment on [Episode] Release That Witch • Fangkai Nage Nüwu - Episode 1 discussion 2 weeks ago:
This was interesting. It’s very anime-like art in Chinese animation.
Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4P2Mr_Cwys
The dub is in Mandarin.
The stiff direction and editing has some rough edges, but the plot in the first episode wouldn’t be out of place in any isekai harem building show.
