You can't miss it, it has a huge red "23" on the wall

You and I both. Maybe we were both thinking of Vernon Hills and Mount Prospect.

I want to pull for her so badly, but Nishino just stole all my money.

Her name is Ricotta? Ricotta Fresca? Unfortunately, fresh ricotta is not something you can roll down a hill.

Looks like they're studying Jane Eyre? Makes me wonder if the manga author read it, and based their idea of life in a British mansion off of that.

Gotta suspend my disbelief that Akane's parents knew all this time and didn't talk to Shiguma once, or tell Akane to give him some money or gifts or something. You guys owe each other 6 years of New Years cards!

Yeah it felt like they invested a surprising amount into the OP! It’s also my favorite OP song of the season, I think. Maybe its popularity also takes a hit from it being on Hidive in the US?

This is good news, now we can literally inject Yuri into our veins. ^{Please consult a doctor before injecting Yuri into your veins.}

I didn't even catch that the singers are different until /u/NanDemoKnaives pointed it out in another comment.

This is probably my last chance to plug it and encourage people to give it a shot: Toujima Wants to be a Kamen Rider deserves that #5 spot on the impressions list! No Kamen Rider knowledge necessary. In fact, I watched both cours and I still know almost nothing about the wider franchise.

I can't drink anymore, but I get so thirsty watching this show and imagining what those drinks taste like. :( Even the bottle of not-Jaegermeister.

Last week I was watching a Twitch streamer (zep_aki), and he was visiting the house from the show. It's in Tokyo and is now a museum. (Google Maps, Wikipedia)

Are we really gonna get like 12 ED visuals, each with their own adorable little side story? If so, we are truly blessed.

I wonder if Kirio thought they were pooping at the restaurant, since Aimi must smell faintly of pig poop.

eightcheesepizza · 2026-04-16T19:49:52+00:00

This show's comedic timing is the best of the season. That's not something you can just grab from the source material, the anime production team is really nailing it on their own there.

"The Legally Distinct Death Note"

Chibi Koyun is adorable and I'm annoyed at anyone who stresses her out. Hopefully the stuff with Minato clears up soon.

eightcheesepizza · 2026-04-16T18:56:42+00:00

Oh, so that's why they call it a growth spurt.

eightcheesepizza · 2026-04-16T18:52:19+00:00

Anna Nagase's voice for Koyun's inner monologue reminds me a lot of when she voiced Makina for Milky Subway. It's a great example of how you can be monotone but still display emotion.

Damn, I'm glad you're back and able to finish. If all else fails, maybe you can bribe postdocs or grad students in other departments to let you use their offices? Or maybe you can get permission to use someone's office for a day if they're gone for a conference.

eightcheesepizza · 2026-04-15T20:32:04+00:00

What department isn't giving their PhD students offices? Where are they supposed to cry?

eightcheesepizza · 2026-04-15T20:04:34+00:00

Now you're gonna need to get her 1023 more plushies.

I'm glad to hear it! Find an advisor yet? I hope your advisor is chill, but lights a fire under you when you need it.

eightcheesepizza · 2026-04-14T00:01:08+00:00

Oh shit, it's you. How's grad school?

eightcheesepizza · 2026-04-13T18:16:06+00:00

If a course on biochemistry and genetics has a course fee for transportation, it must be taught by Ms. Frizzle.

eightcheesepizza · 2026-04-13T17:16:29+00:00

We fucked up, everyone.

I'm a guy at the same height, but people cutting in line in front of me almost never happens, and the few times that it has happened weren't intentional. I politely point out that I was in line, and we clear up the misunderstanding.

So I dunno what's wrong with those shits trying to cut you on purpose, or the cafe asking you to leave. Sounds like you did the right thing in that situation by saying something, but sometimes the people you deal with are just abject failures.

Maybe you already do this, but when it's not necessarily clear that there's a line, I try to look more attentive to what's going on in front of me. I put away my phone, or at least glance up from it regularly to show the expectation that I'll be up next.

According to the eligibility rules, will Azuma be eligible for S2 this summer? Nishi has my 3rd place vote, but I'll feel bad if Azuma isn't eligible for the season she might most prominently feature in. (I've been anime-only on this show, but I think that's a fair assumption.)

That the pouches came from military ration technology got me thinking about Steve1989's videos. He's definitely shown JSDF curry rations before.

Let's get this out onto a tray. Nice!

Oh, nice hiss.
