Finished Gundam GQuuuux. Even though I read in many places that was no prior knowledge was needed, I felt lost a lot of times. I don't know the characters that were actually important in the end and I missed a looot of context. It felt more aimed at fans of the original. It assumed you know the world, the terms, power dynamics etc, but as someone that only watched Witch From Mercury, I did not know any of it.

The characters that were posed as the leads were heavily underdeveloped, including their relationships to each other. I think they had potential (a duo of rebellious rich girl together with a refugee is an interesting dynamic to explore), but were shafted in favour of what felt like nostalgia bait. As a result, some of their actions made no sense to me.

Animation was nice though.

The exposure scenes feel more like a fan-service scene than what it was in the first season.

I recently rewatched S1 and was surprised how much fan service it had. I didn't remember it at all. Definitely not less than what this episode displayed.

Filler? I skipped forward during the Uron Mirage thing, thinking CR mistakenly uploaded to the wrong anime. Then I saw they didn't but I didn't go back to watch it. Seems like I didn't need to either. 9 minutes was way unnecessary

Hmm, it didn't bore me at all. Just hard to keep up with. It's kind of the main theme of the anime. Season 1 was full of it as well, but not connected (or at least, it didn't seem like it. Now we know it was).

But yeah, it seems like the new arc will be quite different, but it's probably not just Maomao being Maomao

Not surprised. I've seen some subs that felt off lately

Fuuuuck yes

I'm still not even sure if Maomao feels the same though I guess she's not the most in-touch with her emotions

That, but she also just doesn't seem to care and/or think romance can happen to her

Great final episode. A very good end of this arc, all things considered. The resurrection medicine was expected, but loved it nonetheless.

This season was great, but hard to follow sometimes due to how much there was to keep up with. It's been building since season 1 episode 1 after all. Loved it though. Would probably be great on a binge rewatch.

I'm very curious how this continues. The status quo is very different now. Both Xiaolan (poor girl, she deserved to see them off properly!) and Shisui (or Tamamo I suppose) are out of sight, Jinshi is no longer just a pretty eunuch, Gyokuyou is empress (deserved!) and Maomao is back in the pleasure district. I'm sure Jinshi gets her back in the royal affairs somehow, but we'll see. At the very least, he'll get cockblocked again next season and I'm all for it.

So, are our governments finally going to see US software as a risk? Because this can shut down entire governments

The spoiler tags used in Eternity >!!< don't seem to be compliant with how the majority of Lemmy apps handle spoilers. The web UI for example uses the following:

spoiler

It seems most apps follow this (Voyager for example).

This causes spoiler tags made with Eternity to be ineffective, since they don't show up as spoilers and vice versa. This can become quite annoying in communities discussing movies, tv, anime, books, manga etc

I've been ripping my anime bluray collection and wanted to have an easier way to sort it for Jellyfin, so I wanted to try Shoko Server, but it's not recognizing any of my anime. It sees the actual files, but categorizes them all as Unrecognized, making the entire idea of using it for automated sorting pointless. I'm struggling to find guides on this and the documentation is quite lacking. I don't know what I'm wrong. Are there certain rules I need to be following in order for Shoko to hash correctly? Does it hash the name? The actual ripped files?

My folder structure is setup in a way that Jellyfin properly recognizes it (without using the Shoko plugin yet), so like so for example:

- Fate/stay night: ubw (2014)
---- Season 01
---------- <episode> S01E01
- Fate/stay night: ubw (2015)
---- Season 01
---------- you get the idea

Since multi season anime often are separate entries, each season is usually its own main folder (which is one of the reasons I wanted to try Shoko to see if I could combine them into one so that I don´t have multiple entries for what is really only 1 anime series).

Anyone here that uses Shoko and have some tips?

EDIT: thanks for the information and tips everyone. Seems like Shoko might not be what I'm actually looking for.

This was displayed yesterday in the app when the new chapter was supposed to be uploaded. They even removed it from the library. I can't see it in my MangaPlus library and the Mihon extension says that it's removed. The Japanese version does still exist it seems and properly got the new chapter.

I read some speculation that this might be due to copyright reasons of the translated song lyrics. If that's the case, I don't understand why the Japanese version would still be up, since I assume they use the real lyrics.

Anyway, this is quite sad. I hope it gets resolved soon.
