Thursdays aren’t Ousama Ranking Day anymore

I sure hope we get more of this anime someday! But I agree with 666 that this is a pretty satisfying place to end it if we don't end up getting more. I'd also love to be able to check out the manga, but AFAIK there isn't an official translation. I'd totally buy up all the volumes of Ousama Ranking if there were an official translation. It'd be cool if the anime generated enough buzz that a publisher decided it would be worthwhile to make that happen...

Yes

Nope, no new episode last night. Gotta wait until this Sunday.

After a long layoff, me and the kiddo are back to watching Digimon Adventure (2020). We're at episode 62 now. I think at this point nearly all of the team has activated the crests on their Digivices, so I guess there's not much left but the final showdown. There have been some fun moments in these last few episodes. Each characters gets a little spotlight. But it's getting a bit long and drawn out too. I'm ready for it to be over.

Yeah it works now and I can view that other thread

Happy barfday! ? I would comment on your other thread but it seems I’m not allowed to view it @webhead

Sakamoto Days starting to get good again. Chapter 64 Ayashimon and Doron Dororon have been decent lately. Some cool panels in both this week. Ayashimon can be hard to follow in spots, sort of like Chainsaw Man was, but I like the style even if I’m guessing some of the time Elusive Samurai #56 Shout out to the Vietnamese guy in chapter 7 of Akane-Banashi Very basic stuff but they got all the words right.

I loved the action in episode 19 (Big Four vs. Ouken) And yeah, it got even better in episode 21! These fight sequences were amazing.

And now… Platinum End #24

Ousama Ranking #23 This is Anime of the Season without a doubt.

My pretty theory is that autistic people are Newtypes. Someday somebody will put an autistic kid inside a Gundam and we’ll find out for sure. Seriously though, the more I learn and talk to my wife about ASD, the more I question whether anyone is truly ‘normal’ (or neurotypical).

Nice to hear from you! I wish more folks would check in from time to time to let us know how they're doing. AFAIK autism is not an easy thing to diagnose in the cases of high functioning people. Kids can be very good at masking it and trying to fit in, and then they end up slipping through the cracks. Hopefully this revelation will help you to better understand yourself. My wife is nearly finished her studies to become an RECE so she has studied quite extensively about child behaviour and ASD, and our 3 year old will doing an ASD assessment next month. We've tried to learn as much as we can (though I am a bit behind my wife in that department; I guess I'm relying on her to be the expert ). There is so much to learn yet about ASD.

You're coming up on some great action in the next few episodes!

My seven Pats / Mats are complete! Druid -- Summoner Druid, later re-spec'd into Wind Druid -- Patriarch howlinwolf Sorc -- Fireball Sorc, later re-spec'd into Frozen Orb / Fireball Sorc -- Matriarch fira Necro -- Summoner / Corpse Explosion -- Patriarch gallagher Barb -- Double Swing / Frenzy Barb, re-spec'd into Singer / War Cry build -- Patriarch ken Pally -- Conviction Zealot -- Patriarch zed Amazon -- Charged Strike / Lightning Fury / Freezing Arrow Javazon -- Matriarch sonus Assassin -- Fire Trapsin, re-spec'd to Lightning Sentry / Death Sentry trapsin in Hell -- Matriarch dee When I got the idea to complete Hell with each class, I wasn't sure if I'd follow through on it... but I've done it! All solo single player, though I did hire mercs to make life easier. Back in the old days, I don't think I ever played a pure trapsin. I was more into the Martial Arts skill tree. Playing this character was a real eye-opener. Incredible clear speed even with very cheap gear. Lightning Sentry is just too good. And then the Corpse Explosions from Death Sentry make short work of lightning immunes). I'm going to move all my Magic Find gear over to the trapsin because she should be able to run pretty much any area of the game pretty efficiently. I also have two other characters on the go: ikea, a hybrid Werebear / Summoning Druid (need the new patch to drop to continue this guy!); and summerbabe, an Enchantress. I think I have just enough high-end-ish gear to make an Enchantress viable in Hell, though it won't be easy. I will probably mix in a lightning spell with leftover skill points. Maybe Nova. It continues to shock me how much I can keep replaying this game without getting bored.

SnK #86 I think there is only one episode left..? If that's the case, there's going to be a lot going on in the final episode. Hope it turns out alright.

86 had a nice ending. The last couple minutes were worth the wait IMO. I hope there is not a second season though I’ve had enough.

Happy birthday!

But yeah it wasn’t a terrible episode.

So tempted to click the spoiler I'm still at work and won't be able to watch until after my kids are in bed tonight. I'm gonna log off now but I'll be back to comment later!!!

I dunno about the Giants. I thought it was a mirage, but... they were really good all year last year, and baseball is a long season. So maybe they're legit. I don't think they'll be that good again this year though. The Dads seem doomed to disappoint. I want them to be good I have no clue why Bryant signed in Colorado. Like, I get why he'd take the money, but if he wants to win anything then that's not the place to go! But if he just wants to be 'the guy' and make big money then it makes sense. He instantly becomes Colorado's "Franchise Player" by signing there. And his stats will probably get padded by playing half of his games in Colorado. It's still a head-scratcher to me though... Hard to expect anything of the D-Backs either. Dodgers should steamroll that division unless the Giants surprise them again this year.

I'll be watching Spy × Family for sure. And I'll probably pick up Shield Hero again since I watched the first part of it. Can't say I remember all that much about it though As for everything else: I'll wait and see what's going to be available on Cruncyroll before I decide what I might check out.
