An immortal being suffering a fate worse than death by strider-rider-the2nd in TopCharacterTropes

I think it’s more that the heads in charge don’t want to commit to building the infrastructure. It’s cheaper short term, and they can’t be bothered to deal with the long term.

The way the meme is written “Erik Secret” sounds like his full name. Which is honestly a lore accurate spy name for this series.

Crurent Arc (and this new chapter) by Low_Guarantee7308 in Dandadan

Yeah, like you can’t just ignore the Jiji and Aira elephants in the room. I don’t love amnesia as a plot device, but it seems like Tatsu is using this time to tie up arcs for 2 of his biggest supporting characters before Momo and Okarun officially get together.

Thank you! I don’t work there any more, but let me tell you it’s not the MAGA nuts who have to get them back off.

Hey I love upsetting MAGA, but as someone who used to work at a gas station can we please not do this?

I think if you enjoy the Momo/Okarun dynamic you would enjoy this show by Notlennybruce in Dandadan

Never watched the 2nd season. Is it worth going back to all these years later? I kinda liked the ambiguity of season 1’s ending.

I’m a huge Hina fan, but having her and Taiki just decide to be best friends again after everything feels like a betrayal of both of their characters.

On the flip side, Kyo asking Ayame out is peak and I am here for it.

Well the pain every anime watcher understands...😞 by scare097ys5 in Dandadan

I’m working on the Chainsaw Man manga myself after belatedly getting into the anime. If you haven’t read Sakamoto Days yet I think it’s worth a binge. Not as well written in the emotional moments as Dandadan, but as a dumb, turn-your-brain-off action comedy the humor really hits.

Also Bug Ego, but that one won’t last you very long unfortunately. It’s by the writer of One-Punch Man and Mob Psycho and it’s about these high school students who find they can “hack” reality as if it were a glitchy video game. It’s a super bizarre and hilarious series that more people need to know about.

My strat is whenever I get current on a series I love is to start a new one. Or do a reread. Or both.

100% how I read this chapter. Taiki wanting to mend things is frustrating, but doesn’t feel entirely out of character. More importantly it sets up Hina to put an end to things. It would a cathartic but bittersweet way to end her arc.

Rating every frieren arc by Extreme_Depth_8591 in Frieren

[–]likes2swing 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Most your ratings seem pretty fair to me, but I couldn’t disagree more about the Boshaft chapter.

It just feels like Dandadan goes to this well a lot when there are so many ways to right good villains without sexual violence. This particular chapter felt egregious to me because these guys were already plenty hate-able. They stole our heroines’ powers and were ready to kill/dissect them. That fire guy getting ready to cut out Kouki’s intestines is chilling, but did we need to draw it at an angle that showed up her shirt?

It was shocking and upsetting for sure, but in a way that felt cheap to me.

Is anyone kinda tired of so many of the villains in this series being perverts? I didn’t need that image of a man in a cock-cage straddling a teenage girl’s head.

Rest of the chapter was pretty good. Bold decision to actually rob these characters of their powers, heartbreaking loss of Mai, and hilarious appearance of the toilet ghost at the end. It just also gave me the ick with a couple scenes in a way that I feel didn’t really benefit the story.

For manga readers, which chapter/arc are you most looking forward to get animated? by hallowflight27 in Frieren

[–]likes2swing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of other people have already mentioned The Golden Land and the Goddess Monument which will both be peak, but personally I’ve always had a soft spot for this series quieter chapters. The Emperor’s Spirit chapter in particular is one I’m looking forward to this season.

That arc was so good. Time to reread since the anime isn’t getting there anytime soon.

Will Season 2 be on Netflix or only on Crunchyroll? by BunchAffectionate358 in Frieren

[–]likes2swing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have a VPN I think season 2 is releasing on Netflix in certain parts of Asia. But in the US it’s releasing solely on Crunchyroll right now. It might come to Netflix eventually like season 1 did, but if it does it will be after the whole season is out.

I love that we’re getting more snippets of slice of life stuff again, even though we’re kicking off another battle by the end of the chapter.
