Opening Day is here! And somehow trades are still going down https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2022/04/twins-padres-trade-chris-paddack-taylor-rogers.html Paddack has really disappointed the last couple seasons after his exciting rookie performance.

I was really struggling earlier to remember literally anything about Shield Hero But as I watched the new episode, most of the important details came back to me.

Season starts tomorrow! It's been a weird spring what with the late start. Even up to like yesterday there have been some trades happening. There's been a stupid amount of chatter about Jose Ramirez getting dealt, which I thought was the dumbest idea ever, but apparently the Jays were pursuing a deal for Ramirez so I was hearing/reading a lot about it lately. Apparently the Dads were trying hard to trade for him too. It's good to see that he got an extension and will stay in Cleveland at least for now. I'm tired of hearing about it Cleveland hardly has any money on their books, so despite being one of the teams that cries poor, they can afford to extend him. And they just re-branded and probably want to sell a bunch of jerseys. And the season hasn't even started yet so fans can still be optimistic, especially since they play in a weak division. They'd be fools to trade him before the start of the season.

Forgot there was a thread about this. I really enjoyed this series! The final two episodes especially, but really it was all very good. Let’s keep being friends

Doron Dororon #17

I’ll probably keep watching Shadows House. The summer season isn’t looking too stacked right now, so I might not be watching much else. Speaking of summer, it looks like we’re getting another season of Overlord this summer. I’ll probably check it out. I figured that was done. It’s been a while since the last season of it. I’m not, like, excited for it… but it was a decent isekai with some fun characters.

62(.1?)

Slow and steady, the supporting characters are growing on me. What an odd bunch. The Dragon Force girl is probably my fav so far

Pretty underwhelming final episode of the season. Waiting until 2023 sucks.

Yeah there was no way everything left was going to fit into one episode, unless the last episode was a movie or something. Bummer.

Happy birthday! Party it up today

Finally started watching Komi Can’t Communicate last night. I’m eight episodes in now and enjoying it so far. Komi is of course very easy to cheer for and my favourite character Tadano is great too. The secondary characters are a mixed bag but they’re starting to grow on me.

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).
