YT algorithm keeps recommending this to me, I keep ignoring it, finally today I gave in and watched. These dudes are something else. Very heavy. Very tight. Very good! Wish I had watched it sooner. The whole set is really good

I didn't know there was also a live action thing coming out this summer. Huh. It must be a super popular manga.

@Vic Boss are you out there..!?

Caught up to speed on Zom 100. It's pretty good! Various thoughts on the first three episodes:

Don't mess with Nightfall! Meant to come back to this post yesterday and expand on it a bit...

Lots of good stuff this week in Jump! Elusive Samurai #119 Akane-banashi #71 Still feeling lost in Ichinose Family... I will post about the Spy x Family chapter in the other thread.

Gonna have to add Ghost in the Wires to my reading list!

I read the first three chapters of Tenmaku Cinema and I'm all in. It's good Also the second chapter of Wild Strawberry continued to impress me. This one's a winner

IIRC, I started lurking and then posting a little bit on the DBZ Center boards when I was in grade 10, so sometime in 2000. Wow that feels like a long time ago now I have to say, it's great seeing some more activity around this place the last couple days! Now what do we gotta do to get Ma to come back???

You can't casually say that and then not give us your list! Also, be prepared to explain yourself if FFV is not near the top of the list

“We don’t plan on doing a patch like this ever again. We hear you loud and clear.” That is the right thing to say, for sure. And I hope they do whatever it takes to make D4 players happy in general again. But I guess it's kind of a believe-when-we-see-it kind of situation

Yeah, I forgot to mention that one. Atsushi is in tough right now. The reveal and the end of this week's episode was very exciting to see and I am hyped for next week! Also, Ranpo continues to be awesome. Kinda mis-read the situation with Fukuchi though

Wouldn't it be wild and crazy if the Rays (or the O's for that matter!) swung a deadline deal for Ohtani and then won the World Series this year! Also, how about that dumb injury for Kelenic? Not looking great for the M's this year.

JJK #3 - Glad that I didn't have login issues with Crunchyroll last night!

It had better work for me 'cause I'm planning on watching the new episode of JJK and then a couple episodes of MIX tonight. I'm like 5 weeks behind on MIX...

Yeah, the shrinking chapter phenomenon is a bit of a bummer... but, like you say, as long as it's quality, who cares about the page count. On the other hand, if this went to a monthly release schedule like DB Super (or SnK before) and each new chapter was 40-something pages, I would absolutely love that too!

Otoboke Beaver are indeed fantastic. Very fun and infectious! I went down a bit of a YouTube rabbit hole list night on the Domi & JD Beck channel watching a bunch of their videos and shorts. Holy cow, Domi is a talented pianist.

re: Chainsaw Man Another new DB Super chapter today, more of the movie of course, but I'm still looking forward to reading it. Related: DB Super: Super Hero is streaming on Crunchyroll now, so I think I'm going to re-watch it soon. I really enjoyed it at the theatre.

Online reaction to the latest patch in advance of Season 1 of D4 seems to be universally negative... so that's not a good sign for the game... but maybe they will fix all of these problems by the time you guys actually find time to play the game!

More like 20+ years ago at this point I am bringing back the retro posting style from simpler times of the Internet

So, I guess nobody beat Diablo IV yet..?

I still don't own anything capable of playing Diablo IV, so I don't have any hands-on experience, but I've watched a lot on YouTube. I've seen enough to know I won't love this game, but I do still want to try it out someday. Did any of you guys and gals actually buy it? Play it lots? Thoughts?

The first bit was giving me some shoegaze / my bloody valentine kinda vibes (which is of course a good thing!) but then it swerved a bit (though also not in a bad way). Cool track. I will search for more I have been listening to quite a bit of DOMi and JD Beck this week. When you listen to the entire album it all starts to sound a bit same-y to me, but they are a couple of talented kids doing some cool stuff. Their collabs with Thundercat are great too. It goes under the radar a bit, but Thundercat's bass line in "Bowling" is awesome IMO

Hooray you're back Glad you're enjoying Skip and Loafer so far. It is truly one of my favourite shows in a while. And, yeah, you've gotta give Hell's Paradise a go. Even if it mostly seems weird and dumb and bad, it sucks you in anyways. And it legit gets better, actually quite good, in the latter part of the season. But even when you think it might be bad, it is still compelling somehow.
