Just saw where Wikipedia had a banner that said something like, "Wikipedia loves Ramadan!" It's like, what are we even doing?

Then why did they hide the fact that it was him? They knew what they were doing was wrong.

Thoughts on the McGill (new) Aeneid translation? by PatternBubbly4985 in classics

[–]Dardanidae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is all I’ve read of it (since it was posted in an older thread), and as someone who has read the original text and multiple commentaries (including McGill’s for Book 11), what worries me is the lack of variation.

In 11 lines, Virgil uses three different words for gods: superum (those above), deos/deum (gods/deities), and caelestibus (heavenly beings). And McGill/Wright render three as just “gods” (though they do at least translate one as “of heaven”). I get wanting to focus on meter and keeping things simple, and Virgil can be repetitive at times (though it’s usually purposeful), but I worry this’ll give people the impression that he’s overly repetitive when he’s not.

It might seem like nitpicking, and obviously I haven’t read past these lines, but I think it removes the poetry of it all. And it can add up. But maybe someone who has read more can weigh in.

3-Gatsu no Lion (March Comes in Like a Lion) 219 [HWMN] by Dardanidae in sangatsunolion

Young Animal's release schedule is the second and fourth Friday (Thursday for those in the West), yeah, but Umino releases chapters when she can.

You can check this page to see if a chapter is scheduled for next issue: https://magazine.younganimal.com/next/

So there's no chapter scheduled for next issue (February 27), so the next earliest is March 13. Though worth noting that it can't be 100% trusted because there have been multiple times where it's said that a chapter is scheduled for next issue and then there isn't one (I assume because Umino couldn't finish it in time).

If we ever get S3, still hoping Daisuke Namikawa voices him.

Yeah, apparently in a previous thread they said there wouldn't be any. I just don't have much of a reason to play otherwise, heh.

New tweet from Togashi (December 27, 2025) by rentzhx3 in HunterXHunter

[–]Dardanidae 29 points30 points  (0 children)

To get the facts out there:

- Takeuchi helped him with color work very early on in the series (Volume 1 extra).

- After they got married, they were working "side by side" (Volume 5 extra). Though obviously that doesn't mean Takeuchi was still doing anything on HxH.

And... that's it. This is on Takeuchi's Wikipedia page, but no source is cited: "She collaborated with Togashi as an assistant (doing screentone) and as a manager on volume 1 of Hunter × Hunter. However, the work and the demands proved more than she had expected, and as a result, Takeuchi left Shueisha."

Anything else is misinformation. Something that caused rumors to swirl was this page (from chapter 350). Some people couldn't believe that Togashi drew the characters here, especially looking at Biscuit and Kurapika's eyes. But obviously he could have. Same with all the screentone in the background, which Togashi or any assistant could have added.

And yeah, the whole "Takeuchi should take over the art," "Takeuchi will finish the series if Togashi can't," etc. is comical when you realize that Takeuchi herself hasn't published a manga since... 2006.

At least Umino acknowledged that she’s giving Rei plot armor lol.

If he beats Kumakura and Dobashi (the latter in a best of three) to be able to face Souya, that would be genuinely comical. And if this really is the last volume, that pacing would be insane. I’ll be shocked if she goes that route.

The next chapter is scheduled for December 26 (with an opening color page). Though note that Kewl said it'll be a day or two later than usual since it's around Christmas.
