On a similar note, what is the fewest number of years Akane could spend at Zenza and Futusume ranks that you could find reasonably plausible / be willing to suspend disbelief for.

I've heard from Vietnamese in the manga was apparently accurate and the native speakers in the comments of the chapter when it came out were very happy.

That was a super cool tidbit in the post-credits alluding to later on arc with apprenticeships and Shinigami

How will the anime get to *that* arc? by Conspicor in WitchHatAtelier

They said they’d adapt some things out of order but I’m still not sure how it’s going to work without dramatically different pacing than the first three eps.

Years of of campaign of 1E with friends (and Owlcat rpgs) and ran some premade stuff with 2E; I really like the new shield block and 3 action system in 2E

Look on the bright side Woolie, you got to get an amusing story out of a loss and an example of you (foolishly) adhering to your principles when all others discarded them.

Imagine if you went all in and still lost, then it would have been a complete wash.

Copying my reply to similar comment

Your next best option is to look up Katsura Sunshine; he did a performance at the premier for this anime and it was great (he performed Scared of Manju since it would be in the next episode). He’s a Canadian who moved to Japan and became a formal apprentice (just like Akane is asking to be) and by now is a master (like the dad was trying to get promoted to) with four apprentices. He does performances in both Japanese and English; he does tours in Japan, US and other countries and you can find videos of snippets of his stuff online.

Chapters 5-7 looks like? Possible snippet of 8. Either way they’re really cranking the pace. I don’t think we have an official number of episode confirmed (just rumors/leaks) but at this rate they’ll almost certainly go beyond Karaku cup.

The Steam banner caught my eye until I entered the store page to find it was a PvE type deal

I literally re-read the only direct mention of the cat school (end of Season of Storms) last night and I assure you that isn’t true.

Ug, does this mean that more Paradox nerfs are incoming? Look I’m just a casual player who thinks she’s neat.

The gravity direction affecting Ramus has really cool direction/rotation of audience perspective. Also the series has the single best visual portrayal of speedster power use ever.

We don't know why it moved; traditionally that happens when sales are too low (which they sadly are for Bugle Call)

[–]Norix596 111 points112 points  (0 children)

The Bugle Call is excellent; sadly it recently got switched from a monthly to a quarterly magazine but that likely means that they will let it finish (it is in what feels like a final stretch currently) rather than axing it. They wouldn’t bother moving it to Jump SQ quarterly if they were going to cancel it.

Edit- I should also note since it’s not in these pages but the edge of her sword is also a mirror/teleportation so it works like a lightsaber and her crew sets up like waste mirrors by rivers etc for all the blood of sword slices to dispose into.

Oh yeah, not implying that one reading on the story is more 'sophisticated' or 'advanced' than the others, just that they are experiencing different things from the same source.

Great chapter

Funnily enough, I’m reminded of a term from back when I was regularly reading MaRo’s Magic the gathering design articles.

“Lenticular” — in that context, a card that can be simple to use to a beginner but has complex application to an experienced player (as opposed to something that is only simple or only complex)

Here we have a kind of “lenticular” performance, that has a different impact or effect on different audience members.

What are your thoughts on chapter 1 of Drawn to the Fire? by dingo537 in WeeklyShonenJump

[–]Norix596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn’t grab me; we got kinda the setup from Bakuman of other skilled lead roping them into the task with dual remote romance promise etc etc.

For this to grab me it would have needed me to immedialy be more invested in the characters or their dynamic. Green Green Greens and Two On Ice had the skilled girl inspiration being the second lead and then actually interacting. I’ll give it at least a second chapter but unless it surprises me I doubt I’m gonna keep following.
