And Askan took that personally...

I am curious what her move will be with the dress of Rayana's friend. They are seated across from Rayana, so perhaps she "trips" on the dress and spills something from the table onto Rayana? If there is anything I know about villainess tactics is that it often involves some piece of clothing getting stained.

Is it too early to start thinking about next season?

You are like 12 hours early. The week 38 thread I am posting soon is going to be the Fall season look ahead. I need to sit down and look through the shows and pick what I want to try to watch yet. I anticipate my work schedule is going to pick up some more in Q4, so I might have to make some tough choices.

All the credit to you for formatting that big of a markdown table.

I like the silliness around him having some kind of inner pervert, kind of like the part of him that comes from his scumbag dad. However, I can't say that I like the way it is making him act out like this. I hope that the story moves on from this personally.

Ok, so the new girl is on the hunt for an up and coming talent and found Koga's bandcamp account. I don't mind this too much in that it could help Koga in her musical ambitions in some way if this new girl has connections or can do music production or something like that. However, it is a shame that it has led to a breakdown in communication between Koga and Aya. Aya's jealousy and not wanting to talk to Koga just makes this all feel too dramatic. I hope they sort things out quickly.

the author also wrote A Tale of a Certain Droid

That makes a lot of sense. This has very similar vibes. Especially with the one that becomes a mom (and then a grandma). I really wish that Tale of a Certain Droid was still going.

Episode 11 was one of my favorite single episodes of anime in the past year for me. Look forward to it!

This chapter reminds me a lot of The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic.

I like that he just paused the battle to take a phone call.

Hell yes! Mia has gone full villainess. Hell hath no fury like a saintess that is also a villainess. She will keep the monsters at bay just so she can make you suffer herself.

This is pretty much how things ended up the one time I tried using a pottery wheel. It is way harder than it seems just to have it not end in disaster.

We all thought Yuki was just being her silly otaku self when she joked about being the villain. Turns out she is serious.

I do think that she took advantage of Masachika being sick so that she can shock Alya. However, I think Yuki's endgame isn't to make Alya feel bad, but instead to make Masachika become invested and give it his all.

 

Premieres September 30th. Check out the ANN article for additional information. Synopsis from AniList:

Noel has grown up idolizing his grandfather, a legendary adventurer of the class known as Seekers. But when it comes time for Noel to set out on his own, much to his dismay, he turns out to be a Talker: a support class with meager abilities. But Noel’s got ambition in spades–and the smarts to match–so he’s determined to do whatever it takes to make the world know his name!

 

From the article:

numerous actions by the editing staff lead to a breach of trust between the editing staff and the original creator (Enoshima)

These are detailed further down in the article:

there were incidents of the vertical-scrolling version of the manga being uploaded without going through the proper oversight and permissions, lack of oversight from the original creator regarding the approvals for the compiled book volumes and the special bonus goods, and frequent communication delays with the original creator, all causing the manga creator Sakaki to halt their drawing of the manga. The editorial staff also admitted to leaks regarding the franchise's media mix plans, which finally led to Enoshima terminating the licensing contract around the end of April earlier this year.

For those curious, here is the mangadex page for the series. The raws end at chapter 30.

 

Premieres January 2025. The new PV is here. Check out the ANN article for additional information. Synopsis from AniList:
