    Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Ch. 75.1 - Inside and Outside

    I read an explanation which I think makes sense, and it's actually not that complicated: Remember that the Darius here is the Darius defeated by Miyu and co. in the timeline where Illya doesn't exist, let's call it timeline B, (and the original timeline where Darius won, timeline A). Illya...

    【Oshi no Ko】 - Vol. 16 Ch. 166 - STAR

    From the very beginning I expected and wanted to see a modern Hamlet in Aqua, as I commented multiple times throughout the story. Aka made it there in the end, which I appreciate, but not in the way I would have liked. The story development in the several chapters leading up to this ending feels...

    【Oshi no Ko】 - Vol. 16 Ch. 162 - AQUA HOSHINO

    I said last year that Aqua will die at the end, and folks didn't believe me lol. (Of course, I acknowledge that at this point we still can't be 100% sure whether he's died yet.) When I first saw the premise of this story, I expected and wanted Aka to deliver a proper revenge tragedy, a modern...

    Made in Abyss - Vol. 13 Ch. 69.5 - Volume Extras

    Agree with everything except for the story part, which is genius level IMO as well, at least for a lot of the concepts and scenarios which I don't think any run-of-the-mill writer can ever come up with in their wildest dreams. As of the overarching plot about the abyss itself, I don't think we...

    Made in Abyss - Vol. 13 Ch. 69.5 - Volume Extras

    Anyways, I'd like to hear some theories on the panels in this chapter, including e.g. who is that person on panel 15, and whether the person on the last panel is the Miko or not (has she shown up in any previous chapter?)

    Made in Abyss - Vol. 13 Ch. 69.5 - Volume Extras

    A large part of it is clearly a difference in perceptions around this whole lolicon/pedophile thing between the East and the West (which might even have been further exacerbated in the past couple of years). "Pedophile" is unambiguously a word with negative, criminal connotations in the West...

    Made in Abyss - Vol. 13 Ch. 69 - Maelstrom Danger Zone Part 2

    Tsukushi is just amazing at keeping the suspense going. And the drawing quality, the expansive worldview that just seizes you and leaves you with a desire to think more and know more about it, everything...... Don't know what else to say other than that he's hands-down a true genius. Been...

    Machikado Mazoku - Vol. 6 Ch. 76 - Coming to Light! Peachy's Past, Part 2

    A lot of readers do think Momo actually got her whole lower body blown off as @ilikepi31415 mentioned. Also you can see on the last panel of page 9 how Momo just "fell" for some reason, and on page 10 there was a huge pool of blood but her lower body couldn't be seen, so I don't think that's...

    【Oshi no Ko】 - Ch. 158 - JEWEL

    I don't think Ruby will eventually die. What's the point of repeating it twice? That will make it a rather disappointing conclusion to the story. That aside, it kinda feels like Akasaka pulling a prank on the readers, saying "you don't want to see Aqua-Ruby? Got it. This is what Ruby gets in...

    Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Ch. 74.2 - Welcome

    A lot of commentators have been pointing out how this Illya is much closer to the original Illya in FSN, with a hint of unhingedness, and they love it. (I also just simply had to laugh out loud at quite a few scenes in this chapter 😄.) I just feel blessed to have been able to see all forms of...

    Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Ch. 74.2 - Welcome

    And didn't Homura literally There will be a way to make it work. Whether the fans buy it that's another matter, but I doubt most will mind as long as it's satisfying to read : ) And be happy she should. I don't doubt at all Hiroyama will aim for a happy ending for essentially everybody in the...

    Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Vol. 14 Ch. 73.2 - Shoot

    The frame with Sakura on Shirou immediately reminds me of the original iconic scene of which was one of the pivotal and defining moments of FSN. Turning the originally heartbreaking scene into a happy one where the person is saved instead... Hiroyama is such a genius at Fate references...

    Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Vol. 14 Ch. 73.2 - Shoot

    The anime is already in production. Silver Link released the key visual last August. I guess one reason for the faster recent pace can also be the production team telling Hiroyama to hurry up. Not complaining at all though! Will be so touching as a diehard Illya fan to watch everything up to...

    Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Ch. 73.1 - With Just That Swing

    Yeah they already teased the key visual for the next movie a few months ago. This will be epic!

    Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Vol. 14 Ch. 72.1 - That Gap

    Why not both? That's what makes Priya truly unique I'd say 😆 (in addition to the unique sentimental value to FSN readers, especially the original Illya fans, of course).

    Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Ch. 71.2 - That Name

    Got it. Yeah, I remember this scene in FSN when Lorelei played. I also think I watched this fanmade video some time ago. Definitely. I also read that there might have been several reasons why they didn't have the Illya route in the end, such as Nasu being sick, TM having to meet the deadline...

    Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA☆ILLYA 3rei!! - Ch. 71.2 - That Name

    Didn't watch the movie. Out of curiosity, what important scene did it remove? Was it where Shirou rescued her from the castle? (I know that the ending scene of HF is there, but with a rather crappy musical score lol.)

    Made in Abyss - Vol. 12 Ch. 66 - Bottom Layer

    Such parts of MiA are exactly what pushed it into 10/10 territory for me 😄. And yeah, as somebody also mentioned, it was rumored that it was actually the editor who pushed him to go more extreme with the content after the earlier slow pace almost led to the cancellation of the manga. But even...

    Made in Abyss - Vol. 12 Ch. 66 - Bottom Layer

    I mean, in a sense Bondrewd wasn't even "hostile". He does mean everything he says, just sometimes in a rather twisted and unexpected way if perceived via the lens of ordinary people. And when you look back at the story, he really did help Prushka fulfill her dream of going on an adventure in...
