Friend, you lack sufficient pessimism. It can always be worse. The current state of the art for AI-inbetweening is... not great. It might be easier to do in anime style rather than western animation, since while it is more detailed, anime is drawn more realistically and there are more "small...

@nidaime So your whole opposition to my arguments can be summed up as two fundamental misreadings of my post. The first is that Marin is forcing Gojou to do anything. I never said that. Literally, go reread the post and try to find a single sentence that claims that. Here's some choice...

Those are actually really good points, and ones I hadn't considered. It's weird that the mangaka chose to retread such similar ground with wildly differing and disappointing outcomes. I can't understand why she would do that. The only explanation that makes immediate, intuitive sense to me is...

It kinda sucks that that's just the norm with how people interpret relationships in media. Princess syndrome is a son of a bitch. I might not have made the connection actually were it not for some anime review channel praising the anime this manga got and some others for "breaking through" as...

Wait but I thought that she was actually - Oh no, now I'm really confused. This is going to be a mess to untangle. Wonder how many callbacks and puzzles will be enlightened by the end of this arc. I wasn't expecting the cat to be a clue!

Did you stop reading my post at the point you stopped quoting it? Because I continued. "If [this good thing has happened as a coincident result of Marin is] your response, you completely misread the question. I asked specifically what Marin actively chooses to do to for the purposes of helping...

So this is a good example of what I meant about the magic circle. To people in the magic circle, all the points raised by those outside it seem minor and irrelevant, or even wrong, because they still extend the author that good faith. It is only when that good faith is no longer offered that...

Yeah, Nagatoro kinda has Watamote's problem. You need to grit your teeth and push through the first volume or two before the rough edges start to smooth over. It never becomes a fluffy series, but it does get better than the start. I think part of the issue here is that other romance series...

(I posted this in the Church of Potteto's version of this chapter as well, but I prefer Tonikaku Scans' translation, so I thought I might as well post it here as well. Broadly the same, with an addendum regarding further thoughts on this chapter at the bottom) I've been ruminating on the last...

I mean... that isn't wrong. As I mentioned, the longer this goes, the more it feels like Gojou and Marin have a fundamentally unhealthy relationship. It's completely unidirectional in terms of emotional labor; Marin contributes basically nothing to the relationship besides demands for time and...

I've been ruminating on the last couple of chapters since they came out, and have kinda changed my mind about Marin and Gojou's relationship, especially after reading some of the comments people left. It has become increasingly clear that this honestly isn't healthy. For either of them. They're...

Well, there goes the honorable knight Slim Shady. We hardly knew him...

What about omitting the truth to protect her? He knows the slave-girl is insanely protective of him. He knows that if the village girl takes his confession badly the slave might kill her. But she deserves the chance to move on. "Hey, I was a soldier in the army. I was at the battle where your...

I'm sorry, you're saying this about the guy who found a wooden chair so erotic he had to pull it as a gacha? You drastically underestimate his perviness.

You know... I wouldn't mind at all if the MCs lost to this group. I mean, yeah, they worked hard, but so did everyone else. Everyone practiced till their fingers practically bled. And sometimes you try your hardest and still lose. They don't need to win to have their story completed. Have...
