You need only glance at my main account, @[email protected], to see I do a bit more than that.
[email protected] is another community I thoroughly enjoy growing.
An increase from Dungeon Meshi. Izu is here, things will only go up from now on.
The next three episodes are gonna be nearly ALL killer, no filler. It's time to get back to the meat of the plot (though the dungeon meshi plot veggies are very good and important, too).
This was maybe the best joke once the series got started.
The manga shifts to a much more serious and emotional tone with the occasional gag once Helck and "Anne" get portaled off the mainland.
The anime didn't quite pull off the execution of that I think.
I love the self-improvement club bros. They are such bros.
My local library does carry a shit-ton of series, but the real kicker is you can electronically order books for pickup from the entire capital city region of libraries, even if all copies are lent out you can get in line right from the website.
Basically, if something exists as a physical book, you can arrange for yourself to read it. You can even use the library website to track down what books and how many copies are in what libraries and on what shelf, and then go get them yourself same day. Same library card works in the whole capital city region and you don't need to return books to the same library.
Back during my conscription the garrison library stocked several dozen series too, that I devoured in the boredom of hurrying up and waiting. Funny how a library specifically meant to cater to 18-year-old men had plenty of girly romance manga...
You can get digital releases, too, I've read a lot of manga on an e-reader. First on a Kobo, now on a Android based Likebook device which I can use any app on for accessing manga that I like.
Kindle has tons, and for series that only exist in English thanks to fan translations, reading from mangadex using tachiyomi/mihon is fantastic.
Due to all that, the books and manga volumes I own are mostly gifts from others and some money spent on series I especially like, and want to be able to just take off the shelf and read.
I enjoyed the first season, but I quickly dropped the second in favor of reading the manga. The art is better, and the trudging pace of the story in the anime is much faster.
Another fantastic fantasy being produced right now is Dungeon Meshi aka Delicious in Dungeon.
15 episode are out on Netflix.
It's a bit more on the comedic side than Frieren, but also keeps the weirdness typical in a lot of anime to a minimum. It also comes with fantastic characters and gorgeous animation.
People who like Frieren are likely to enjoy Dungeons Meshi and vice versa. I certainly do.

I love absurd anime like Saiki K.
Other masterpieces are Nichijou, Hinamatsuri and Asobi Asobase.
However, nothing has really topped the utter chaos of Sabagebu for me.
What.... What is this?
It's a word.
I find it's a pretty healthy development in what is basically a branch of the idol industry.
It has enabled indies, and the people doing it have a way better chance at maintaining a healthy work/life balance than idols of old. They can literally "unplug" and live a personal life that they can make as separate or involved as they like.
There's no bullshit about physical appearances like fashion, weight watching, age...
And it's been a delight to see the biggest player, hololive, actually allowing talent to take care of themselves when push come to shove, rather than going through humans like they're some kind of consumable.
But this, taking an IP with established fictional characters, and having them become vtubers? This feels weird.
I'm not sure what it adds? People stick with vtubers because as "unreal" as they are, we genuinely like the people behind the avatars.
Yes, it's acting and performing, but also not. I'm not sure how "hello I'm a character from that franchise you like" would work.
As a big fan of Holo, I'm kinda worried, and annoyed that they'd risk it, that this will affect the character. I don't want to see a fantasy goddess try and fit into the real world, and I'm a little scared of what the real world might turn her into.
Well that's new.

Right.
Because doing without thinking never harmed anyone...
Who tf compares thought and action as if they're opposing methods to do anything?
More often than not, to do any good one requires the other and vice versa.
Good shitpost, I guess.
