Re: .ml admins.
The unprovoked drama from the .ml admins became unpleasant to the point where it led to mods resigning and the active users migrating from !anime@lemmy.ml to !anime@ani.social
I hope you can make a better community for HSR over on .world like wsj018 did for anime on this server.

They gave Haro a hip hop beanie that stops his top flaps from opening to extend his arms.
The flaps will probably just open enough for the arms to extend.

From episode 1: Ojisan talks about the Shirley Temple-curled hairstyles of villainesses from classic shojo manga from the 1970s, which he would be familiar as he was growing up at that time:

I’ve just implemented my news detox.
I’ve unsubscribed to the various news, world_news, politics, not_the_onion, /c’s not through their fault, but too depressing.
I’m hoping this frees up more time for watching anime.

I was most impressed by the calcite sunstone. Tremendously useful for navigation.
That being said, one would have to find which way is “straight” which may not be perpendicular to one of the crystal’s faces, depending on how light refracts and is polarized through it.
One could probably do that with a small bright light source, like a candle through a pinhole, build a wood holder that indicates what direction the light particles go straight through the crystal without being polarized, and use that to calculate the sun’s angle.
Difficult but doable, I guess.

Okay, I’m getting back on track now…
It’s nice to have a couple of Gaku (glasses) centric episodes to start of the new cours.
He’s a much more relatable character than the front-and-center narcissistic sociopath Haru, and we get to see some of both his upstanding moral character as well as his awesome hacking skills.
I did like the scene where he’s drawing upon his varied life experiences and people he’s met, aside from Haru, to prepare. That felt very relatable.
He does luck out…
spoiler
in that his hacking trail doesn’t get traced back to his office.
Word to the wise, don’t shit where you eatAnd that Kirihime enters the picture and gives him exactly what he wanted, whereas a professional would likely… have done something different.
Nonetheless, he does eventually realize that he has information leverage that he uses to get what he wants.
This show continues to be interesting to me, if less than flashy.
Oh yeah, OP2: “over the top” by Hiroji Miyamoto
and ED2: “EGOIST” by imase
Neither of these are very memorable compared to OP1, but Over The Top is better than ED2, and I do like the summary montage in OP2 that emphasizes that our heroes started from the bottom.

Official Trailer from 9 months ago
Blurb from trailer notes: “Studio KAI.
Heroism—a punishment for only the worst criminals. Those sentenced to the fate of a hero are forced to fight at the front lines against the demon king’s army—and if they die, all they can expect is to be revived and continue the battle. But when their leader, convicted of killing a goddess, meets another goddess himself, the contract they forge may be enough to change the world…”

I’ve never watched Overtake, so beats me…
As @Rottcodd@lemmy.world says, MF Ghost has is positives (racing, automobile geekery, and soundtrack), and minuses (any plot other than racing, not just failing the Bechdel Test but ripping it up and torching the shreds).
Wisely, the MF Ghost staff decided to limit the non-racing time to about half an episode when needed.

- Comment on New episode of ALDNOAH.ZERO will show in Japanese cinemas before Blu-ray Box release 5 weeks ago:
The 2nd season was a huge disappointment.
I believe the departure of Gen Urobochi as a writer from S1 was its downfall.
- Comment on Tower of God Season 2 • Kami no Tou: Tower of God 2nd Season - Episode 25 discussion 5 weeks ago:
I agree that both cours of S2 weren’t great. It got sort of better in episodes 22 onwards, but not enough to make up for slogging through the confusing mush of 2 seasons worth of episodes.
I can understand introducing new characters because S2 started a number of years after the end of S1, on a completely different floor, etc.
But then the story doesn’t commit to it: The old gang of characters are brought in mid-story, reducing character development space for both old and new character, it’s just a mess.
IMO, one or two old characters showing up, and giving brief hints on what happened to the rest would be fine, but throwing all of them in there, and giving them more-or-less equal screen time, just didn’t work.
It’s probably a problem in the source manhwa, so not much the adaptation writers could do without wholesale changes.
