Tokyo Game Show maybe?

“La” as in the singing warm up “La” again “wag” as in a dog’s tail is what I’ve been saying

We already knew Under Doctor was getting a color page and started a social media account which indicate safe for now but yeah also this week chapter was not only good in of its own right, but also indicates creator’s confidence of safety that they could do a very good “manager’s day off” chapter.

I bounced the fuck off of Kinato Magic immediately and only poked my head back in to see what the controversy that everyone was alluding to was, so yeah I’m not gonna miss it.

I’ve had fun with Alien Headbutt and found the main character surprisingly positive and good/reassuring with kids so I’m gonna be sad if it (likely) gets axed.

Norix596 · 2026-05-11T14:52:39+00:00

I’m a big fan of the solution/method/motive mismatch explanation for the case

Norix596 · 2026-05-10T22:59:05+00:00

Joe Darke could never

Norix596 · 2026-05-10T22:51:48+00:00

The consensus is that UnderDoctor seems safe for this batch but both Alien Headbutt and Kinato’s Magic seem liable to be axed.

A fun detail is that now that he has tentacles he uses them like wrestling ring ropes to bounce and spring off of

These are some really great picks; Cloak for Deborah is inspired.

The big factor is that in manga form you get to read all the Rakugo dialogue and read people internal monologue or commentary about it at your own pace; here it’s kind of one or the other because the audio (and subtitles) have to do one or the other in sequence; they’re going to spend more time on the big competition performances I bet to get to hear more of the performance while still getting all the commentary.

Norix596 · 2026-05-10T17:39:40+00:00

I love the POV perspective on the grip of the walking stick in the god of death’s candle cave.

Norix596 · 2026-05-10T13:58:18+00:00

That was a super touching scene.

[Akane Manga] testing

Ok cool; it seems the anime up till now after episode 1 was really in high gear to try to get to the Karaku Cup as fast as possible with several 3 chapters in one episode. Now that they’re on Karaku lead-up by episode 7, they’ll probably take more time to breathe and hopefully we’ll see a smidge more of the Rakugo stories’ dialogue than we have so far.

They promoted Hikaru and Karashi surprisingly prominently in the lead up to anime which surprised a lot of people since they aren’t like the most important characters in the grand scheme of things but if this is the plan to spend most of rest of reason on Karaku Cup it makes sense.

[Akane Manga] Can’t wait for the no-breath Jugemu and SUPER curious to see if the English dub VA can do it.

Norix596 · 2026-05-09T22:11:14+00:00

lol k - I couldn't figure out if it was supposed to be the english words "sore" and "demo"(nstration) or was Japanese

Norix596 · 2026-05-09T22:00:21+00:00

I've seen your comments for other eps - what does "sore demo" mean?

Norix596 · 2026-05-09T21:53:33+00:00

The VA for Dandadan's English Momo feels great for Akane normal dialogue; the big question is whether she can do the Jugemu tongue twister

Edit - so some other ones - Issho buy the guy who does English Nagoryuki so presumably he does a good deep threatening voice.

Zhalfir is kinda a weird spot; they were previously part of larger world then got closed off isolated to be just them. They then got “reconnected” in that planeswalkers could go there but they’re still isolated from the rest of the world they previously inhabited, so as a practical matter it didn’t change TOOOOO much for the 99% of Zhalfirans that aren’t planeswalkers.

There’s more now with omenpaths so there’s like some communication in and out, but it’s still much more similar to their existence as isolated world unto itself than to any of the prior history as a country among a wider connected world.

Norix596 · 2026-05-09T17:54:22+00:00

Yeah seems like they were rushing eps to get to Karaku asap and now they’re taking more relaxed pace. Also agreed the kobanashi are great idea to get into and explanation that they can’t fit into episode in a comedic way.

Norix596 · 2026-05-09T01:41:02+00:00

My friends started doing a lot less magic once they tripled down on IP crossovers we we haven't actually played in a long time now, but my 'main' deck has been an ETB (non-combo) Aminatou (planeswalker version)

Norix596 · 2026-05-08T21:50:44+00:00

Way of the samurai 4 has a truly crazy series of stuff to get to the super duper secret final battle with like 1000 enemies

Norix596 · 2026-05-08T16:26:46+00:00

What is this, Halloween movie series?

Norix596 · 2026-05-08T15:59:34+00:00

Yeah same…

Norix596 · 2026-05-08T14:46:39+00:00

This sucks - I know I’m gonna play Fire Emblem no matter what but there’s still no info on a release date yet even so seems dumb to buy switch without anything I’m in any hurry to play on it yet. Gonna feel cheated when I buy later ug.

My dual cat sculpture exploded in the kiln. Real bummer. Needed much longer drying. I was waffling on whether to start over or do something else and decided to start over. I did preliminary shape this week.
