That was a great twist in Kurumizawa's Folly! Totally had me going. Good show, Hata. I am loving the last couple chapters of Akane-banashi. Her performance of God of Death has been absolutely captivating
-
Bit of a funny start to the season. Certain teams are disappointing so far, like my Blue Jays But I don't think any team is hopeless. Many teams are just mid. Almost every team is in the double digits for wins except the Phils and Mets (both of those teams might be hitting the panic button soon)
-
When's the last time 2 (Possibly 3) managers get fired before May? Hell when's the last time a manager has been fired in April period?
-
Ok, been a bit quiet from me in here, though I'm caught up on my usuals now other than some of what happened this week, but I had to comment on Kurumizawa #18 I've also been reading the new series Haunted Peak. I'm not 100% how I feel about it yet, I think the chapters sometimes leave off on awkward spots, but I'm pretty intrigued to find out what the heart of the mystery is

I looked at the Mets the other day to see how Bo Bichette is doing over there so far. Pretty sad stuff all around I hope he bounces back soon. He can be really streak-y. The Jays finally remember yesterday that it's good to score more than one run. And they won a game. Shocker! Luckily, the Yankees haven't completely run away with the division yet. One or two weeks of good baseball and hopefully the Jays can get back to around .500 if not better. They started slow last year too. Similar story for the M's, the division is still well within reach even though they didn't have a super strong start so far. They can catch those other teams.
-
I've found the first couple episodes of Daemons of the Shadow Realm to be pretty good. I need more episodes and more story info to make better sense of what's going on though I'm enjoying having Dr. Stone back in my life after taking the last couple seasons of the anime off. And Ace of Diamond is top tier stuff. The first episode of Kill Blue was pretty solid as well. The manga was fun most of the way. Not the best ending, but the anime probably won't ever get that far.
-
Only thing I've started watching that started in the Spring is Daemons of the Shadow Realm, which I'm liking so far. It's from FMA creator, so I'm expecting good things from it.
-
Well neither team is doing really well, at least the Jays can chop it up to injuries. The Mariners on the other hand...but they've always been a team to get going later in the year vs early. Could be worse, we could be a Mets fan.
-
I watched the new episode of Ace of Diamond last night. Hard to believe the first part of Act II finished in 2020. I wasn't sure how good my memory would be, but within the first couple minutes it all came flooding back and I am very invested in this story again. I don't think any of the voice actors have changed. It all just feels right. I've never read the manga but I know it ended a few years ago. I've tried to avoid reading any spoilers but in general it seems like the ending was not well received. However much more of the anime we get, I'm hoping it ends on a good note, even if the story remains unfinished.
-
Absolutely not.

And now The Mage Next Door is over. Oh well. It was a fun little series while it lasted IMHO but I guess it wasn't popular. Akane-banashi # 201 She's off to a great start. Almost seems to easy Ichi the Witch # 77 Introduced a new character that I don't have a very good first impression of Hopefully that gets better. Sakamoto Days # 254 I knew he was going to pull it off somehow. "No grudges." Shishiba is a badass Kagurabachi # 117 Last couple chapters have revealed so much about the background of the story. Fascinating stuff. The current arc is sort of like a prequel. The action is about to get crazy and I am here for it

More Frieren has been announced for late 2027: Sousou no Frieren: Ougonkyou-hen Over the weekend I finished up the Hell's Paradise manga and thought the ending was quite good. Curious to know if we'll ever get to see it animated. AFAIK a third season hasn't been announced yet. I haven't watched anything new from the Spring season yet but I've got a few episodes queued up to hopefully watch tonight.
-
Finished Frieren last night, last 3 episodes. They were great. Season 3? They set us up for another season.
-
It’s too early for me to be worried about the Jays yet. Lots of time. They definitely need to tighten up various aspects of their game to get better results. I think they can do it. I agree that the Yanks pose a big challenge for any AL team wanting to go to the World Series. They started strong last year too though. Sometimes stuff happens. We’ll see..!
-
The way I see it...it's the Yankees vs field for the AL and the Dodgers vs the Field for the NL. It's weird it's not the Yankees line up that's scary it's going to be that rotation barring injuries. Fried, Schittler and then add Cole and Rodon when they come back. That's pretty solid. I know it's early...but the Jays can't be losing series to the Rockies and White Sox. I'm posting because the M's lost 0-1 last night, but had 3 HR's taken away.
-
b-but, it's tradition
-
There was a similar situation in the Jays game yesterday, although the Rockies' manager was way less heated. The Jays' batter (Sanchez IIRC) got a strike call overturned, as it was just barely a ball. He was a tick slow in tapping his hat for the challenge, certainly a bit over the two second time limit, but the umps let the ABS challenge go ahead. Managers are going to get real mad when that happens The Rox manager was fast out of the dugout to argue it with the ump. Sadly, it didn't turn into a shouting match and ejection...

Frieren was indeed great. The last few episodes are especially good Well... We got the bad ending in Golden Kamuy (cliffhanger... gotta wait nearly a year for the /actual/ final part ) From MAL: The final episode of the final season is in fact not the end. Go figure. As far as I can tell from looking through the list of manga chapters, there is only about a dozen chapters of material left to cover. So, they can't fill a full 10+ episode cour with that, I don't think... Unless they get silly with recap episodes and filler sort of stuff. I'm going to read the end of the manga on Jump so I know what the ending is. I'll still watch the end of the anime next year though. Since Hell's Paradise is on Jump as well, I'm gonna go ahead and read the end of it as well. Seems like I only need to read ~20 or so chapters to wrap it up. --- No spoilers, but I just finished the Golden Kamuy manga and I've gotta say, the way it ended was pretty dang satisfying all around
-
Yuri will probably say something to Loid along the lines of, "Thanks but this never happened!" immediately after they get out of there

Hell has frozen over

Need to finish Frieren, but so far it has been great.

Winter 2026 season is just about wrapped up for me... Just one episode of Golden Kamuy to go, which should be up on Crunchyroll later today Golden Kamuy was a wild ride. Part of me wishes I had started on it sooner, but the other part of me is glad to have waited until the final season to jump on the bandwagon. Very curious to see what happens in today's episode. JJK was overall better than I expected it would be. A couple of episodes were snoozers -- there are too many rules in the Culling Game, ugh -- but the action was very nice. Maki's episode was brilliant, and Okkotsu's episode (the last one) was really good stuff too. Frieren was probably Anime of the Season. Really, really good. Hell's Paradise was a nice surprise for me. I liked the first season well enough, but I had forgotten a lot about it and wasn't totally sure the follow-up would be worth it. I think the second season was quite a bit better than the first. Great work by Mappa. There wasn't a, "To be continued..." at the end of the last episode, and I don't think another season has been announced (yet anyways). I'd love to see the conclusion animated. But I'll probably have to go ahead and read the manga because I'm impatient You and I are Polar Opposites was a dark horse candidate for Anime of the Season. I loved it. Already binged through the whole manga. A second season has already been announced, so I'll be watching that for sure. Supposed to begin in July. Fate/strange Fake didn't quite live up to my hopes. Maybe it was unrealistic for me to expect this series to re-capture the magic of Fate/Zero and Fate/stay night. Oh well.

Gonron Egg is over after 21 chapters. Ah well. It’s sort of a non-ending, but I kinda like that the author didn’t try to cram the whole thing into one chapter. I can use my imagination. Akane-banashi # 200 — Zensho is such a knob Akane and Kaisei aren’t getting tripped up over petty shenanigans though. I am hyped for the upcoming chapters.
-
Yep, time for you to get on Frieren. It was a good season. I’ll take a look at Sentenced to be a Hero. Definitely had it on my radar but never watched a trailer or anything.
