Someone had to eventually to tell them they need to stop pretending they aren’t dating and “he’s a coward and you’re a child” was an amazingly blunt way to do it. What a good big sis.

I felt so bad for her in that scene, when the emperor starts making fun of you there’s no choice but to sit there and take it.

Cha Hae-in’s deal continues to be mysterious considering how little she’s done with all the screentime she gets (besides provide cringy fanservice). I was initially thinking she might be another Player but her dislike of the smell of hunters raises the possibility that she’s either a magical beast herself (perhaps summoned by some hunter’s skill) or has some class that uses monster abilities like a blue mage or something.

It seemed to me that all the S-classes had the ability to sense magical power.

It’s a good thing the mold they found in the tomb wasn’t harmful to people with a well functioning immune system or else spending hours studying samples there with no PPE would have been really stupid.

Ah I was hoping someone would have a better idea, thanks!

The point about the contents of the vault having mostly sentimental value may have gone over better if not for the pile of gold in there.

I love that she inadvertently fixed the sexist damsel in distress character just by pointing out that she could have agency (and giving her a role model).
I assume Serval Cat Mask was inspired by Kinnikuman as that’s the only pro-wrestling anime I know of and the moves looked pretty similar.
- Comment on Headhunted to Another World: From Salaryman to Big Four! • Salaryman ga Isekai ni Ittara Shitennou ni Natta Hanashi - Episode 3 discussion 1 month ago:
Not the most interesting episode but we learned a little more about the world:
- The Demon King’s country is poor and has a poor diet, perhaps that’s why he seems like such a good guy.
- Demons have “totally legitimate cultural reasons” for wearing skimpy outfits. While this is obviously an excuse for fan service, it does raise the question of whether the Demon King is actually a demon.
One thing I’m still not sure about is whether the izakaya Dennosuke visits is a real place in the world, a real place outside the world, or a construct of his mind.
- Comment on In your opinion, what is the best English localization of an anime name? 1 month ago:
Delicious in Dungeon is intended to be shortened to “D in D” which is meant to sound like D&D or Dungeons and Dragons.
- Comment on ZENSHU • Zenshuu. - Episode 2 discussion 1 month ago:
It seems like the point of this show is to give MAPPA animators the opportunity to take their shot at a bunch of classic anime scenes. Episode 1 they did the giant warrior from Nausicaa and episode 2 is a Macross missile massacre.
The plot interesting enough so far, while this show did turn out to be an isekai, at least it’s an old-school “learn a lession” isekai and not a pointless power fantasy in a video-gamey world like the recent inescapable trend.

I love the “We’ll need some time to consider your offer, thank you for meeting with us” response to the Ogre king being unreasonable. I knew Japanese businessmen have the most polite methods of telling you to fuck off so it was really interesting to have an explanation of the reasoning behind it.
I’m enjoying this series so far, here’s hoping it stays focused on effective business strategies and less on Harem nonsense. So far Dennosuke is staying professional and oblivious to Urmander’s obvious crush on him which is pretty funny so maybe that will be the running gag.

Really uncool of Amagi to induce an epileptic seizure on two standing patients to prove a point.

Nope, it’s the new dub where they use the Japanese character names. It’s weird to watch if you’ve got strong memories of the old dub.

I agree with hypholoma but fasciculare doesn’t have white fibrils on the stipe like some of those do. Dispersum is a better match IMO.

Yup, that’s one of the key identifiers for them. It’s also why they aren’t commonly eaten despite being edible.

- Comment on Lactarius Turpis - the "ugly milk cap" (PNW) 4 months ago:
You can mostly remove the toxins by boiling these but they’re still mildly toxic and aren’t generally considered tasty. Plus the cap is sticky so it usually has a layer of dirt and moss growing on it.
They apparently eat them picked in Russia.

I’m still waiting for that Metroid game that was supposed to be on it.
Metroid Dread came out a while ago.
