Lots of good stuff this week The Elusive Samurai Fabricant 100 Akane-banashi I am feeling pretty lost in Ichinose Family right now A bit reminiscent of PPPPPP in that regard. Eventually I assume it will all make sense. And I think I am even more lost in Jujutsu Kaisen. Gonna need to read a plot summary when the Culling Game arc ends New chapters of Gokurakugai and Show-ha Shoten! hit today too. I will read them tonight.

Happy birthday! Party down!

I checked out a couple new things this weekend… Hell’s Paradise Unremarkable. I was going to turn it off during the OP because the song was bad but I kept going. I’ll give it one more episode but not expecting it to hook me. My Home Hero The premise is kind of ridiculous but I sort of liked it. I guess I can identify with a middle-aged dad who wants to protect his family in spite of his weaknesses

Season finale of Stray Dogs was a little bit of a let down for me, but there were still some really good things too:

Happy birthday dudes

Yeah, a sequel was announced almost immediately after the finale aired

I liked the chapter this week too. There’s more to it than what I might have thought last week, but it’s also not too convoluted. Pretty good balance in that regard. Situation is getting critical again this week in The Elusive Samurai! Sakamoto was short this week

I was all digital on my 3DS, so no worries about losing game carts I put so many hours into Bravely Default…

Octopath Traveler is on the ol’ to-do list… some day… if I can ever finish all my goals in Diablo 2 I need a good JRPG back in my life though. It’s either going to be Octopath or Bravely Default 2 next up. (I effing loved Bravely Default and Bravely Second!)

Lots of potentially helpful/insightful reax to D4 here on the PureDiablo D2 Single Player Forum that you might find interesting to read. These views are of course coming from people that are primarily D2 fans. PureDiablo is the successor to the old Diabloii.net forums if anybody around here used to post there. The D2 SPF is loaded with great stuff

I just realized we’re getting a second season of MIX this Spring!!! I’m not sure how I missed seeing that. I love a good baseball anime

Pretty epic finale to Trigun Stampede. We’re getting more too https://myanimelist.net/news/68885800

yeah, maybe not super well written all things considered, but I was still surprised how graphic that episode got compared to everything that preceded it.

Solid finish to Revenger! I really enjoyed this show overall.

Yeah that was an interesting little piece of background info showing the Dr. Gero family tree.

Every week I read all the new chapters and I feel like I have so many things to comment on, and then I pull up this thread and my brain mostly draws a blank I am enjoying the flashback in Sakamoto too. I feel like the happenings in the past are going to explain a lot about Slur's motivations. I am also super curious to see what happens next in The Elusive Samurai. Fun times sight-seeing in Kamakura are on hold for now..! Back to the action. Ichinose Family #17 You up to date on DB Super as well? We're properly getting into the Super Hero story now. I guess reading it after having seen the movie already is a bit boring, but whatever, the movie was a really good time so I'll enjoy reading the manga adaptation too.

Happy birthday Lucy! Come back to say hello to us sometime please

Yeah, isekai is on quite the run of sustained popularity! People must be watching them in big numbers if studios keep making more of them. Gimme another season of Grimgar please… ?

YuYu Hakusho is top tier stuff! (Well, until the messy ending...) I can re-watch it any time.

I don’t have anything that can play this game anyways so no pre-order from me either From what I’ve seen so far, the game looks decent, but IMO certainly more comparable to D3 (what little I remember of it) than D2. I enjoyed the parts of D3 that I played. Not nearly as much as I enjoy D2, of course. I hope to try D4 someday.

Any of you folks getting in on the Diablo IV open beta this week? A few different D2 streamers I follow on YouTube are playing right now, so I'm just following along with them. The opening cutscene was rad. No comments about the gameplay yet as I've only been watching like 10 minutes

Revenger has built up to the big final episode that will be next week. Overall, the show has been pretty solid. I'm curious to see how it ends. Do we get a happy-ish ending or tragedy? Could go either way with how Raizo's character has developed. Stray Dogs has been steadily very good the last few weeks too! I think there are two episodes left to go. I don't think they can resolve this story line in just two episodes. There are so many moving parts in this story. I guess there will be another season eventually. Maybe this season ends on a big cliffhanger.
