Yeah but naming someone after something from an unfinished series is still a very bold move. I could imagine a world where I name a kid after a fantasy character, but definitely not one where I name them after a fantasy character from an unfinished series. I mean, who knows where things might go!

If there’s two Lalahs, does that mean there’s two Chars

That would be cool but at this point I don't think there's any reason to assume that all newtypes from the other universe ended up in this one.

And where (when?) is Shuji?

Statistically speaking he's likely to be either buying or raising funds for more spraypaint.

I still don't see what prevents someone from just buying a different model.

So this just bans that "style" of rifle? Someone can just go buy some other semi-automatic rifle that doesn't look as imposing or whatever but will still kill a person just as dead? I don't really get what this accomplishes other than inconveniencing people who already own one of the guns this prohibits.

It's crazy how low-res the images often are even when you pay for digital manga from the official source. I know they have higher-res images because the print version is sharper!

The problem is if the user asks the AI a question about the language they're learning they'll often get confident bullshit as the response and they won't know it's wrong because they're still learning.

Would've been nice to have spent a bit more time with lighting and posing. I feel like there's a lot of cool potential for posing 2 kits together but in practice I have trouble actually making it look good.

Took some posing inspiration from the statue of the man fighting four babies in Vigeland Park. The SD-EX kits are:

  • Gundam Unicorn
  • Gundam Barbatos Rex
  • Gundam Exia
  • Gundam 00

Sword Art Online taught publishers that people really want bland wish-fulfillment stuff where the hero just steamrolls any problems that shows up and then gets all the girls. Of course SAO had other things going for it, like good animation and a great soundtrack, but that isn't what they can easily copy.

Shield Hero taught publishers that people want that but also with the main character owning slaves for some reason.

Anyways, due to these two things isekai has been almost universally weird af lately. That said, it's not all bad. I liked The Eminence in Shadow, but I recommend the manga adaptation over the anime. The mangaka just has a really good sense of comedic timing. I've also heard good things about Shangri-la Frontier. There are a few more good isekai if you look at the pre-SAO era. Vision of Escaflowne was really good, as long as you come in with the expectation that this is a shoujo mech isekai so it'll have a somewhat different feel to it.

Of course, that's if you're stuck on wanting to watch/read isekai. There's been tons of great stuff coming out every year that has nothing to do with isekai. My favorites from the last 5 years have been:

  • 2020 - Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! - A team of high school girls form a club and set out to make whatever anime they can with their limited resources
  • 2021 - Vivy -Fluorite Eye's Song- - The first AI-powered humanoid robot tries to prevent the robot apocalypse
  • 2022 - Chainsaw Man - A sad boy has a wild (and bad) time. Honorable mentions go to Spy x Family and Bocchi the Rock. It was a strong year.
  • 2023 - Skip and Loafer - A book-smart girl from the country moves to Tokyo for a better high school and adapts to city life
  • 2024 - LOOK BACK - A story about 2 artists. Honestly this year was stacked too, so honorable mentions go to Bang Brave Bang Bravern! (big gay robots), DAN DA DAN (romance, yokai, and aliens), and Delicious in Dungeon/Dungeon Meshi (traditional fantasy, but really well executed).

Notably even though every year a whole pile of isekai gets released not one of them made it into that list. I'd avoid them as a general rule for a while, except when you hear a lot of people recommending a specific specimen.

It's important to not allow "perfect" to become the enemy of "good".

I don't really expect anything to come of this, but it would be great if it led to better conditions for animators.

You want hardware manufacturers to provide shitty screens in perpetuity just so Linux devs can avoid implementing proper scaling? Yeah, no.

Share the source next time. It's just common decency.

This really sucks; it's not good for the human body to be in microgravity for that long.
