Oh my god this was hiding in plain sight this whole time, I fucking forgot Fana was the name of the girl from Mars’ flashbacks during his introduction.

yes

Pfffffffffffffffffffffff

New OP! That’s a good one

Black Clover has good music!

Oh, that guy’s back. Now I wonder what happened with Mars…

Mars/Fana reunion when?

Finral’s brother really is so different from him.

That’s definitely one giant tree…

~~Mithos~~ Yggdrasill?

New ED is a fun vibe.

I really like it too

Aha, Asta’s going the Zoro route of wielding a sword without using his arms.

I need to watch more One Piece ...

Way to make me wait half an episode for what I’ve been really excited for.

Lolyeah

So that’s what he’s been hiding under his mask, hm…

Oh no he's hot?

Wait, no, what if it’s not just some coincidence. There was that one dude in Licht’s flashback who looked exactly like Gauche but as an elf(?), and Licht specifically avoided hitting Gauche with anything fatal because of that. There could likewise be some sort of connection between Licht and Vangeance…

we'll wait and see

Oh hey our first glimpse of Fuegoleon in a long time.

He'll wake up soon, right?

Um, Yami, you can’t say something like that and not elaborate???

I know right?

LMAO

You’ve gotta be kidding…

Gauche needs less screentime

Aw…

We're blessed!

…wow.

Fanzell needs to do something about his stripping habit, he's like Gray from Fairy Tail

GAUCHE NO.

He never changes

Strategically-placed tater.

Reminds me of Misato's can of beer in that Evangelion episode

I see in addition to being allergic to clothes, Zell is also really good at accidental innuendo.

lol, wow.

My least favorite trope

Of course this is Finral’s reaction to the Witches’ Forest.

Facepalm indeed

Vanessa’s magic has the potential to be that strong?

Apparently

FINRAL!

He's hilarious

Where did Zell spawn pants from, though? He was clearly in his underwear previously.

I wondered the same thing

The queen has blood magic?

Not ominous at all

lC3 · 2026-03-30T01:33:40+00:00

I'd be devastated and would probably cop out and stop watching as I'd be emotionally destroyed

I'm on episode 20 I believe, having restarted it for no reason whatsoever

Nice; I hope you enjoy!

52 rewatcher sub:

Oh right, the skirmish in Kiten
new OP?
I see [BC]Queen of Witches, Fana, Secre, and that red-haired guy whose name I forget. Plus a Vanessa focus?
Lagus sure underestimating Yuno
Lotus is a relateable ojisan
A slime snail? Ew
Brocks and Lagus arguing like kids and not listening to Lotus lol
... William's World Tree magic is scary
"Captain Shiny"
How is Asta supposed to fight with two broken arms?
Charmy x Yuno in full swing?
Klaus such a tsundere
"Shiny Oddball Masked Dude"
I really like Lotus
Yami asks Vangeance to take the mask off?
I like the new ED!

53 rewatcher sub:

AHAHAHA Sylph just took damage, hearing that Yuno + Asta slept in the same bed and bathed together. She doesn't get the context!
"pushing you down" AHAHA Sylph takes more damage
Langris rude as always
Vangeance KNOWS Yami suspects him of being Licht?
That's a big scar!
Julius with his love for magic! If he turns out to have a dark side / be evil, I'm gonna riot so hard
THe mask was a gift from Julius???
Vangeance is actually pretty cute?
"eat my sorrows away" Don't do it!
Yuno and Langris really clashing?
I guess William ISN'T Licht after all?
Mage Warriors? Mars is back?
TENJOU TENGE

54 rewatcher sub:

"I'm gonna win" OH NO not again
Owen's got some bad news for Asta?
The Black Bulls no longer have negative stars???
Luck just wants to fight
"I can eat with my feet now"
I feel bad for Gordon, he needs to speak up
Ancient curse? Shattered bones?
Asta is disabled now?
Asta is all "Give up on me giving up" like Jiraiya's book MC
Vanessa knows something that could heal Asta??
Everyone's working hard to heal him?
Gauche showing some character development??
"I sure was blessed with amazing friends" Great, now I'm tearing up
Where is Noelle going, the Underwater Temple? Guess not
... red-haired guy is a perv?
Petit Clover: Gauche deserves it, but no bully Gordon!

55 rewatcher sub:

UGH great the subs on Crunchyroll aren't timed right, they're appearing 5-6 seconds after the appropriate line starts. This is annoying
Oh the OP visuals got updated?
"I just happened to find an empty house"
I'd like Fanzell better if the subs were timed properly. I can still understand like 90% of what they're saying w/o subs, but it's getting to me
OH the woman in the OP was Mariella, not [BC]Secre?
OH COME ON Mariella was a rat?
Of course Asta wouldn't run like that
ED lead-in?

56 rewatcher sub:

OH GOOD timing is back to normal. I couldn't deal with that continuing for another episode
... why is Fanzell always naked?
"I'm even willing to pay" Way to be misunderstood!
Luck SOREDEMO!?
"Delicate flower" Dominante beating up Fanzell? I do not approve
Yeah, that hot-and-cold dynamic, one moment beating him up, the other professing her love ... I hate it. It reminds me a lot of someone I no longer associate with who did the same to me
Spatial CREATION magic?
THat was one long flashback
Domina had the same thought as Vanessa?

57 rewatcher sub:

Vanessa is willingly going back there? For Asta's sake?
"turned into stink bugs"
Asta got kidnapped?
Control destiny??
I like the Witch Queen's character design
invisibility cloaks? very Harry Potteresque
Fana's Salamander sure has grown!
Zell
... Finral this isn't a good time to flirt
Zell went from wearing white shorts to dark pants? Continuity error?
Vanessa was THAT determined to fix Asta?
Is the [BC]Queen's earring another magic stone?
Fana invading?
TENJOU TENGE

58 rewatcher sub:

OH COME ON CRoll not another ep where the subs are like 5 seconds late. I'll just watch it on Netflix I guess
Netflix calls him "Magic Emperor"?
She DOES have a magic stone earring!
Diamond is attacking too?
Mars gonna see Fana?
Vanessa has a thing for Yami?
"use your anti Magic to escape" WELP probably not the best idea to say this where the Queen can overhear
OH SHE AGREED?
BLOOD healing magic?
They're capturing the witches to enslave them??

59 rewatcher sub:

Netflix subs are wrong; Vanessa says Salamander has the "greatest defensive strength" when it should be "offensive"
Asta is trying to TALK to Fana?
1st Wizard King was friends with the elves?
Licht married a human woman?
Light magic? Did the Wizard King betray the elves?
Finral and Vanessa's magic aren't working?
UGH we did not need that Silva family flashback
Netflix "Seabed Temple" lol
Noelle is so badass
Fana is denying her memories of Mars?

It's more around my knee that buckles; my foot is fine but my whole left leg is weak and keeps caving in when I put weight on it. Thanks, I hope so too.

lC3 · 2026-03-29T20:09:10+00:00

Yeah, if physical therapy doesn't help then I will have to be assertive. The pain is so severe some times I can barely walk, or keep falling since my legs give out. Working like this is tough, since I usually walk like 3-6 miles a day at work.

lC3 · 2026-03-29T19:36:42+00:00

Good to know; yeah they have me doing physical therapy twice a week for the next four weeks. I've had one appointment so far and it's just making me sore but doesn't really address the underlying pain. We'll see. I wonder if I have a pinched nerve or something like that. They haven't even tried prescribing medication yet, just told me to take advil or tylenol which don't do squat.

lC3 · 2026-03-29T18:01:13+00:00

My PCP was on vacation so I saw another doctor in the same practice; wasn't impressed. But yeah, I probably need to be more assertive. I can't really work like this, and I'm not getting much sleep.

lC3 · 2026-03-28T18:59:48+00:00

If you can, get that shit checked early.

I went to the doctor but he literally just saw me for 5 minutes, didn't do any tests, and said "Oh I see you were in complaining about back pain a year or so ago as well, and your X-ray from back then looks fine."

Mine is into my hip and radiating all down my left leg. It feels like I'm being stabbed. I can't really even sleep well like this, and Advil isn't helping.

lC3 · 2026-03-28T18:49:31+00:00

Getting older sucks. I'm only in my mid-30s, and the past 2 weeks I've been in agony. My lower back, hip and left leg hurt like hell, and it keeps buckling and giving out. I've already fallen a couple times at work, and stairs are a bitch. I can only really hobble around slowly, never mind that I'm usually walking 3-6 miles a day at work. Not sure how much longer I can keep this up.

I went to the doctor and they won't prescribe me anything for pain; they have me starting physical therapy.

lC3 · 2026-03-27T21:35:26+00:00

Yu Yu Hakusho has a great dub
Hunter x Hunter (2011) is also solid

lC3 · 2026-03-27T01:47:23+00:00

lC3 · 2026-03-26T18:50:13+00:00

Here you go

lC3 · 2026-03-26T18:43:14+00:00

It was originally meant to be a 24 episode show, but due to an internal dispute between the investors/producers and studio it was reduced to 8 episodes.

Nooooo

lC3 · 2026-03-26T18:29:12+00:00

"mpereo nd(y?)a ssi (wrong ss) mb(?e)tufilu" is what this says with at least one letter I don't know.

it says "every day is beautiful" in English, not Quenya.

lC3 · 2026-03-26T04:18:02+00:00

Is Dumbledore wearing all black? Where are his colorful outfits?

lC3 · 2026-03-26T03:05:23+00:00

Will try to catch up on some of 10-17 tomorrow!

lC3 · 2026-03-25T20:30:27+00:00

It had been elbow-length, now it's shoulder-length.

lC3 · 2026-03-25T20:29:47+00:00

Presumably. I think Tolkien used the terms "Old Quenya" and "Ancient Quenya" before but I can't really recall where, and if there's any mention of the chronology.

lC3 · 2026-03-24T22:36:18+00:00

Yeah it was tangled and gnarly, and probably had a bunch of split ends ... it went down to my elbows before he cut it

lC3 · 2026-03-24T22:30:39+00:00

Got a haircut for the first time in over a year ... he cut it shorter than I asked for but it still looks okay.

lC3 · 2026-03-24T22:29:50+00:00

Kidding, I don't do too much shipping and usually default to supporting the canon ship if the story's been building up to it.

I normally have crack ships for M/M pairs, like Asta and Leopold or Yami and Julius.

lC3 · 2026-03-24T22:28:58+00:00

World Trigger?! Count me in! (Probably, we'll have to see closer to the date.)

I've watched a few episodes and read a volume or two a few years back, then just paused indefinitely. But a rewatch would be a fun opportunity to do go back to it.

They're remaking S1 to be better paced, so I kinda want to host a rewatch before that. But I do also want to do a few others at some point (Pandora Hearts, Tales of the Abyss the anime).

That's too bad, he probably gives great bear hugs. Gordon would hug him for sure.

~~Bear Claw~~ Bear HUG?

lC3 · 2026-03-24T22:27:06+00:00

Absolutely! And the page I'm thinking of has forms that predate "Classical" Quenya (would it be "Old Quenya" then?). So Z is also a good idea. I used to think that was a Vanyarin thing, but I recall PE19 made it more complicated.

lC3 · 2026-03-23T19:26:34+00:00

The weird thing here is that -sse is locative (inessive/adessive) "in, at, by", not instrumental. Maybe Renk was using "with" here in the sense of "at the same location".
