If anyone else wanted to know why the hell he says "son of a submariner," apparently it's from the English version of Final Fantasy VI. The Japanese version just uses a frustrated sound and what I think is a generic expletive (kuso), and the team doing the English version just pulled that out...

The manga starts out decent enough, but gets sillier and sillier as time goes by. It's almost as if it went from being intended for older teens to being intended for younger teens. That said, the way that the lazy brother does everything he can to indulge his sister stays constant and makes...

I highly recommend it. It's my favorite series about a wizard named Harry, and that's saying something. It starts out pretty decent but really gets into its stride around book 4 or so. James Marsters reads the audiobooks and does a fantastic job. There's a bunch of short stories scattered...

Yeesh. People are reading too much into this. He's 9 and she's 5. The mom just wants her children to get along. That's all there is to it. Bathing and sleeping together at that age isn't considered strange in Japan. He's uncomfortable with it because he's a grown Japanese man inside, but...

Yeah, Lucoa's got the curse of being a comedic relief character, fair enough. You can explain a lot of it with cultural unfamiliarity, though. The Shouta thing is new to her. It's a diversion from her life of... whatever she's been doing since the sister incident. Being a god for a...

There's about a billion or so doujinshi for this series, so you're in luck.

Harambe survived? That's a relief. Tuck, tuck, zip

"Sir Yifflington, would you be so kind as to assist me in tying up this young man and leaving him on the railroad tracks?" "Ah, Baron von Fukslot! It's been too long. Yes, I'd be delighted. Afterward, you are welcome to join me at my chateau for some tea and casual sodomy." "Delightful...

Most important thing to know about shogi: Everything else is just minor details.

Agreed on Transformers. Strangely enough, even though I'm the right age, loved the show, and owned several of the toys, I never saw the movie. But I heard about it and yeah, you're 100% right that it was a cheap trick. I'm talking about the leadup to the final confrontation. When you...

I agree, but I have seen it done well and to good effect. But it's something that needs to have a strong impact, not just "oh hey, that character's dead now." If you're going to kill off an ally, it either needs to be one that's completely unimportant ("grunt #3 didn't make it") or one that...

Dunno about airheaded. We see glimpses that Lucoa's the smartest out of the dragons. I suspect the carefree lifestyle and "airheadedness" we see is a mask of sorts. The god she's based on and the backstory given in the manga both show that she was very intelligent. I think she realizes how...

Shouta is fairly common name in Japan. It does not mean "young boy." The "shota" in "shotacon" is actually short for "Shōtarō," a character in a manga from the '50s. All that said, I do imagine it was chosen because it sounds like shotacon. Japanese humor is all about wordplay. Fan service...

For humans, sure. Gender doesn't seem to factor in to attraction for dragons, though. That's been a plot point several times in the series.

That also applies to . Not as tragic, but very relevant to the story.

It was nuked back in May 2025, but new chapters have been posted since then. If I remember correctly, the DMCA only applies to content you're currently hosting. New content requires a new DMCA. I'm no lawyer though so take that with a grain of salt.

Sugar maple is an amazing wood. It's hard (i.e. damage-resistant), relatively easy to work with sharp tools, is one of the lightest colored common woods so it contrasts well with darker woods, stains and dyes well, and has multiple different attractive grain patterns depending on how it grows...

Someone get those girls a sandwich. Eira's drawn too thin for a martial artist/dancer, and Mei just looks malnourished. She's a working girl and she's carried Rentaro around, so she shouldn't have noodles for arms. I got no beef with skinny women, it's just that these ladies are drawn way too...

It would be strange if they didn't know about glass at all. That goes back thousands of years on Earth and was basically the plastic analog of the Roman empire. It's not weird that they didn't realize you could make optical-quality glass spheres, though. We didn't know how to reliably make...

There used to be chapters here, but they got DMCA'd. It's still useful because you can read the comments (including chapter comments if you check the "show unavailable chapters" box) and decide if it's worth reading on an aggregator site. In this particular case, you'd have to finish it at an...
