So this can get an anime but not Mikadono? Okay, Japan, I see how it is...but that doesn't mean I have to like it...

Damn. Somehow what I expected to be a trash isekai...really isn't. I think the big question going into next week is what we're going to see from Ars now that

Episode 6 spoilers

It seems like the death of Ars's father is almost certainly being foreshadowed. Does that mean we'll see Ars rely more on Licia, in addition to his retainers?

You use the word hapless, and I think it's a great call out. In some ways, he reminds me of Ayase Yuu from "Mikadono 3-shimai wa angai, choroi" (a manga that I and a couple of other users are really enjoying in manga@ani.social that has a rather...clumsy MC). At the same time, Ars has a capable ensemble around him, and leveraging the cast to tell Ars' story (i.e. not letting Ars alone lead the plot; see Overlord for an example of how this can be done) gets us moments like this. Really looking forward to seeing more Licia starting next week. Now to hope the light novels get licensed, as well!

Edit: The publisher (K Ranobe Books) does have a history of licensed light novels, so it's not exactly a crazy idea.

Sasuga Ain...I mean Ars-sama!

It sucks that there aren't (in my limited experience) a ton of engines out there with good documentation (at least that are built in Rust). I've started trying to build my own engine, but the complexity and time required are certainly a bit of a barrier, especially for the game I'm working on. (N.B. - The game is nowhere close to being in any sort of state to be shown, so please don't ask 😆)

That, or they don't care enough to pick it back up if they ever drop it. Nothing hurts worse than forgetting what you're trying to do because you don't even comment your code.

If I had to guess, I'd say never. The whole animator hiring model has been fucked for decades. The only thing that might break the camel's back here is the yen getting obliterated in FX markets.

I'd love to see the budgets for series like "A Place Further Than The Universe" that start out as anime, versus light novel adaptations like "KonoSuba" and "Madome", or manga adaptations (e.g., "Studio Apartment, Good Lighting, Angel Included"). The anime original series still have to make money, but because there's not a source material to assist in recouping costs, one would intuitively assume there's a bit of a higher standard there, no?

All the talk of Lalatina this, Lalatina that makes me hope even more that we get Vol. 12 adapted.

Love the thumbnail. Is that from Re-LIFE?

SatouKazuma ,
@SatouKazuma@lemmy.world avatar

I will watch this one with great interest

SatouKazuma ,
@SatouKazuma@lemmy.world avatar

That is one of the lists of all time.

Rikka, you're a day late and a dollar short on this one.

SatouKazuma ,
@SatouKazuma@lemmy.world avatar

Ah. My mistake then!

SatouKazuma ,
@SatouKazuma@lemmy.world avatar

Shaft

Ah, another loss. Shaft seem to be a consistent miss for me, with the sole exception of 3-Gatsu no Lion.

SatouKazuma ,
@SatouKazuma@lemmy.world avatar

Since you said you're reading or have read the manga, I'd highly recommend the light novels. They're great if you like the series!

SatouKazuma ,
@SatouKazuma@lemmy.world avatar

Well, the LNs are licensed by Yen Press assuming you want to acquire them either digitally or in physical form.

Side note: I could never get into Madoka no matter how many times I tried. I don't know why, and I can't hate the series, per se, but I just could not finish.

SatouKazuma ,
@SatouKazuma@lemmy.world avatar

I think the third episode was where I really fell off. I think Madoka is unique in that I couldn't bring myself to say it was bad, so I just left it as an unscored drop on my AniList, with the caveat that said drop isn't exactly a statement about the show's quality, but more that the show (and really most Shaft shows) just don't strike my fancy. The lone exception as yet has been 3-Gatsu no Lion, which is absolutely fucking fantastic.

Am I the only one who just isn't much a fan of the OP? I don't think it's exactly horrendous, but it's just not a good fit in my opinion.

SatouKazuma ,
@SatouKazuma@lemmy.world avatar

I mean, I honestly loved the OP for season 1, and I thought season 2's was decent. This one...oof, no. They should have brought back Asaka and Sasaki Eri.

SatouKazuma ,
@SatouKazuma@lemmy.world avatar

Eris definitely qualifies here. Honestly, she might be my favourite character in the series along with Darkness.

Konosuba light novel volume 12

Darkness had so much potential to not be a gag character, and this would have been the volume to do it, but she does have her moments, as well.

SatouKazuma ,
@SatouKazuma@lemmy.world avatar

100GF is a comrom though (i.e., more comedy than romance), in my opinion. The whole series is basically a giant meme.

SatouKazuma ,
@SatouKazuma@lemmy.world avatar

That OP though...oof. Honestly will be the worst out of any of the shows I'm watching this season. And the show itself really doesn't lend itself to a very long run, so I'll probably end up dropping after next episode.

SatouKazuma ,
@SatouKazuma@lemmy.world avatar

I...don't think the episode is up yet. Checking nyaa, looks like we have about 40 minutes left as of this comment.

SatouKazuma ,
@SatouKazuma@lemmy.world avatar

I thought the AniList API wasn't even publicly available. Or at least, so went the impression I got from the Mihon devs when I looked over their Git repo.

SatouKazuma ,
@SatouKazuma@lemmy.world avatar

May the Wise Wolf bless everyone!

SatouKazuma ,
@SatouKazuma@lemmy.world avatar

I haven't worked on Rikka specifically, but my assumption would be that said scenario requires a manual post creation for the episode thereafter.

SatouKazuma ,
@SatouKazuma@lemmy.world avatar

Look, I love Made in Abyss more than basically anyone on Earth. But I struggle to think it's a good recommendation for a gateway anime. The other two you rec'd are absolutely perfect, though, so I can't argue entirely. But I'm going to go ahead and suggest AniList for list tracking.

SatouKazuma ,
@SatouKazuma@lemmy.world avatar

A Place Further Than The Universe is fucking spectacular. It actually got so popular(wording?) that the New York Times ran an article on it.

SatouKazuma ,
@SatouKazuma@lemmy.world avatar

Okay, and...your point is? There can be more than one bad recommendation.

SatouKazuma ,
@SatouKazuma@lemmy.world avatar

I don't disagree it's a good show. I just don't know that I think OP would much like anime anymore if that's one of their first.

Can the EU just Thanos snap Microsoft out of existence with a quadrillion euro fine?

SatouKazuma ,
@SatouKazuma@lemmy.world avatar

How could they pull out of Europe if they straight up didn't exist? I'm suggesting the European Union should fine them enough to go bankrupt.

Just a shame the US government's been completely captured. It's all rot from the top down.

SatouKazuma ,
@SatouKazuma@lemmy.world avatar

Pretty much. Once you get into the suck, you very quickly learn there isn’t a standard beyond that which the project/org dictates.

Isn’t the Google Go style guide also supposed to be pretty decent.
