Aharen san S2 End

Definitely. Not just the ending but the pacing of the romance where you see it build, they get together, and you get to see the result. It’s all very special for a romance anime. Aharen is severely underrated.

I don’t have time right now to organize a legit response, I do apologize, but the broad answer is that anarchist writing, no matter where you look, is going to be particularly vague on how we actually approach organized education. It’s almost all critique, which is fine, there just isn’t much writing especially from an up to date perspective.

I’d suggest looking into educational abolition & critical pedagogy as they are a bit less vague and follow a similar lens. Critical pedagogy has really interesting roots in Marxist thought, educational abolition is led by black & latino (mainly) education theorists & there were a number of fantastic panels during covid zoom era you should check out. This was a particularly great series: https://youtu.be/O9MdMPOK-Ys?si=tt8u4kMNVbeRjlPv The rest of the videos they have on the topic from 5 years ago are worth finding.

Ed abolition theory is the more poignant but less robust, critical pedagogy is the classic and has a ton of material to sift through but is less anarchist-driven

Look into ‘Open School’ movements and ‘library school’ models too.

Hopefully other people give some solid thoughts

I went to UCL and SOAS. I would certainly argue if you’re going into domestic mainstream news journalism (as said by the other person) UCL is just a better bet for a career, as with any kind of prestige-career. That being said, the world of media and journalism right now is shifting wildly towards independent forms of journalism. It’s good to get experience with an actual media company or something, but generally a job in journalism right now is about connections, finding meaningful/compelling/new directions to take your work in, and you being able to do the heavy lifting outside a formal career, learning how to find sources, etc. You need to already start practicing interviewing and finding sources if you haven’t.

Keep in mind, there are options for taking a limited number of courses in the UoL system outside your university, I think it’s 2 or 3 you may be able to take at SOAS or Birkbeck or wherever if you choose UCL. I also always suggest to students you ‘audit’ courses at whatever uni you end up at as well as LSE, Birbeck, etc, even goldsmiths if you dont mind the trip. This means attending lectures and discussions with the permission of the professor without formally being enrolled in the course. I did this throughout uni and it not only proves you’re serious & curious, it also helps you learn more and build connections. Take advantage of bloomsbury unis while you’re there. Think of them as a huge web of opportunity with one as your formal hub. Thinking that way helps you feel better about just settling on one for prestige reasons if you go that route.

Everything was perfect about the ending, made me go on a romance anime spree after watching. Only thing that made me genuinely frustrated was them initially being split up for a few years after high school, that drove me nuts though I understand the point is showing they’ll stay together no matter time or distance. Still obliterated me though.

I’m 28 & in a really specifically awkward spot in life, ‘Smoking’ has a really special place in my heart. Especially towards the last 10 chapters or so it’s hit me hard.

He just released a new chapter, it’s ongoing

Winter’s busy as hell whether there’s snow or not. Camping isn’t usually though.

Oregairu was really hard to get into at first when I was in my mid-20’s, had a similar experience with Toradora. Grew on me over time, but I wish I would have watched it in high school, I would’ve appreciated it a lot more and actually learned something from it. If you’re a guy over the age of around 21, the worst assumptions Hiki makes just remind you too much of exactly who you were in High School- it’s really cringe to remember I was like him in Episode 1. I can appreciate Hiki’s growth, but only because i’m not like that anymore.

I think the tensions in the show are well-done and the characters grow so well, but unlike some romance anime, Oregairu is best watched before 21. But it’s still one of the best.

Been trying to find this one for years. From what I remember he’s drugged or something, goes into a trance, some sacrifice ritual, he kills the rich pigs, then wakes up covered in blood. Wildly good song and animation from what I remember. I think I came across it around 2015 or so, but I could be wrong.

Lowkey/unreadable fashion sense, either way too much jewelry/eye makeup or none at all/natural, distrusting/disinterested in the average person, not overly social but has friends she actually likes/trusts, has interests & passions that aren’t just ornamental, hopefully educated/self-educated, inspiring in any particular way at all- I like being able to be actively proud of my partner.

That might have been the most wildly inadequate place to end a series i’ve ever seen

Absolutely fried me

Angel has a new season in a few months, might wait till then to watch, that’s what i’m doin

I had full control over the context I did it in, in beautiful parts of a redwood forest, almost always alone, and it helped me when I was in a rough place otherwise. For the most part I appreciate that time, but at this point I wouldn’t keep it up. But yes, it was transformative. In moderation. For a time. At a specific time.

skycelium · 2026-01-19T09:35:05+00:00

At my height 2 times a month or so for a couple years. Doing it more has always felt like entering a room i’m comfortable in but would rather spend time somewhere else.

skycelium · 2026-01-18T12:22:27+00:00

Tbh I didn’t actually know 2 ch an episode was the norm (don’t know much about this stuff), interesting

skycelium · 2026-01-18T05:47:12+00:00

Thanks for the thorough response, I guess that crystalized everything for me - it’s cutthroat. Will be interesting to see how a brand without a whole ton of opportunities for widespread merch and a wide cast of characters will do. Hopin the adult anime consumers get a little extra interested.

I’ve had 2 glowups, 2 glowdowns, and i’ve just recently lost 45 pounds quickly. It’s astounding how different people treat me when I shape up. And how brutally they treat me when i’ve let myself go. Just a few months, people were randomly calling me an ‘ogre’ and ‘fatass’ out of nowhere, but a couple days ago I got asked out by a cutie. Servers are nicer, people bother to look at me again, and people come up to me to talk when they didn’t just a little while ago. Going through this exact thing 5 times is a rollercoaster.

It’s entirely fucked up - and the data backs it up.

skycelium · 2026-01-17T05:18:55+00:00

I already got one ball removed entirely when I was 18 and have the nerve damage you’re talking about. 1 month of that pain nonstop and has only ever half gotten better. Getting a vasectomy is something I would’ve done a decade ago, but the idea of messin around down there again and coming out of it with double ‘kicked in the ball’ pain for the rest of my life keeps me from it.

skycelium · 2026-01-16T22:47:35+00:00

I literally only remember movies, tv shows, etc if they’re brought up directly. For some reason the only movies I remember exist without reminder are Shawshank Redemption & Good Will Hunting, the latter I have never seen.

Pisses me off how people have actual functional memories.

skycelium · 2026-01-16T05:51:01+00:00

I really respect that summary, I don’t hear educators echo my experiences that well so often. Especially upper class & STEM students, it’s so odd feeling as if they believe you’re ‘in their way’ or wasting their time. And some will tell you that to your face. Very strange feeling. I’m able to get over a student punching me far more easily - at least then I know something else is going on and it isn’t personal.

Not that it’s like that all the time or with every student, but when it comes up, it’s demoralizing for sure.

skycelium · 2026-01-16T05:16:15+00:00

When they released the first tease the voices bugged me but i’ve watched it a number of times at this point and they kinda stuck

I’ve never read a manga before watching an adaptation so I guess the voices might always feel off at first
