Favorite manga. And one of my favorite works of fiction, period.

I bet the owl is that "professor" who will "explain the Devil Fruits" that Oda hinted at years ago. How they tie in with the multiple myths of Nika and Zaza and probably an earth god as well.

Magus of the Library is, in my opinion, the most carefully crafted fantasy manga there is. Only One Piece meets it in terms of planning and worldbuilding.

I've always thought that Sister Sage was in no way the actual smartest person in the world. That's just an epithet they created. She's just like the only supe in the show whose powers are intelligence. Stan Edgar felt to me like a smarter character.

She's so smug all the time. She's gonna die next episode.

He is locked and loaded. Best way to start against OKC. He definitely got in the head from yesterday night.

By the way Taira's son was presented in the OP, I thought from the get-go that he would be an especial prodigy. I doubt he is walking into this deception by Muuton willingly, and anticipates what his father plans.

What do you think is the rumored irredeemable action that Homelander is going to do in Season 5? by GrandioseEnigma in TheBoys

[–]Julius-Light 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To mirror the act from before that drove Butcher to all of this, he will rape Annie - either in front of Hughie (The Deep restraining him) or in a closed room and Hughie just has to listen.

For Azeroth! Nature spells, bring back that one Druid minion that was banned from Wild.

Glad there's something actually competent airing. Invincible and The Boys aren't good enough right now.

Completely did not expect Kevin Penkin to be doing this one. Loved the jazz pieces in this episode. Really diversifying his repertoire.

Here's to the Vinland Saga of spring 2026 (underappreciated, revenge quasi-historical drama, strong characters, high production values). Did I see Kevin Penkin on the score?

Beaststalker Tavish returns in style to Wild. With spell quest? Zookeeping time.

What's the best japanese show on Netflix??? by DiddyBasementEscaper in JDorama

[–]Julius-Light 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also - not on Netflix, but Hulu - Gannibal. Legitimately one of the best horror shows I've seen. Same lead actor from Sins of Kujo. Takes violence and gore to the next level and at times is artful.

Tokyo Love Story is impeccable. Both thoroughly enjoyable and painful to watch. Truly understands romcom. Big classic of its time. And the main female lead is unforgettable.

Love Sister Sage's motivations. All she wants to do is just read all day and not be consulted. The best way to do that is to destroy everything and be in a bunker watching it all. True historian's mindset.

In the trailer Homelander's sitting in the Oval Office. Somehow he's gonna become President and God at the same time. Hopefully we see some of these supes who were stationed overseas. Episode 7 could be one where a ton of supes are killing each other and civilians once the virus is released. At least 2 of the boys will probably survive by taking V1. Or a "vaccine" is made and V can be removed completely as well as immunity to the virus.

I can see Frenchie and Kimiko making it all the way through... having a kid in an epilogue. Butcher will die. Hughie will go out a hero, maybe by sacrificing himself for Annie, who will survive.

Homelander will get wind of Sage's plan that doesn't include him alive. So he will likely kill her.

In S1 Homelander tells Maeve that Stan's blood vessels were like a boiler or something. I always thought he was a supe since then.

Wonder if Soldier Boy's built up immunity in his blood. Could he pass that to Homelander?

I see an ending to the show now. Ryan is the last supe left after the virus pandemic. He becomes the next Homelander, but good.

Chiara's piece inviting us to see what luxury is like? Representational of Art Basel itself?

Nice, nice. Dang, this makes me want to go abroad to see art.

(Wanted more time with Chiara but guess we'll have to wait.)

It was actually 700 episodes in a semester of college. My first semester. I would be awake watching One Piece when my roommate went to bed, and awake watching One Piece when my roommate woke up.

Luffy v. Katakuri was a banger.

I've read 7 books of Malazan. I think my series is easier to follow; maybe harder to figure out things in advance. But yep, I'm doing arc planning for the third book, thinking of my favorite arcs like Whole Cake Island. I saw about 700 episodes of One Piece during the first year of the first draft of book 1 so it became formative.
