I’m thinking of checking Wind Breaker out when the dub comes out. I’m wondering if it’s like Tokyo Revengers because some of the plot sounds the same.

Tokyo Revengers was about a bike gang, this is about a bunch of High Schoolers that is lauded by city for Fighting because other gangs are ruining their shops. Yet the fighting animations are crisp and it's most comedic than dramatic.

An excellent summation for this season yet again. I'm really glad you enjoyed it bro, it's one of the extremely few series that are worth enduring horrible animation for 2 seasons.
Like each of these 2 seasons are up there with stuff like.

  • FMAB
  • Frieren
  • 86
  • BSD S4+S5
  • Mob S2
And there is so much the series tries to throw at you. There are so many variables thrown at you but once it comes together it's some great special stuff. Even for a series that adapting the manga properly most likely is a very, very difficult task given the scale. But to pump out quality like this for ~50 straight episodes needs no words.

Mission: Yozakura Family Episode 2

Chapter 2 was fully adapted here and aspects were expanded. First when Kyouichirou, Mutsumi and Taiyou were in the limousine, the chase was an anime original. Fun addition and seeing Goliath the one driving was funny.

Screen_Shot_2024-04-14_at_12.01.13_PM.png


Kengo and Nanao being at the school and as well as Shion remotely appearing are anime original. Rather than Kyouichirou throwing the bomb back at the owner, we had Kengo and Nanao capturing him before Kyouichirou tosses him with the bomb. Fun addition considering the bomber worked with Kyouichirou in the past.

They didn't post the panel from the manga how Taiyou sees his classmates looking suspicious from a bias perspective. Though they did add the part of him checking every corner of the classroom. So overall I like the change here.

Now regarding this episode. Last week we got introduced to our couple and him joining the family. Now getting into the foundation of the series and that is to protect Mutsumi. Essentially she is the child in the family that can birth gifted spies for the next generation. Taiyou has quite the task ahead of him. Not to mention that Kyouichirou is going to put him in the ringer to make sure he is prepared.

The scene with Mutsumi and Taiyou was really sweet. Mutsumi letting Taiyou know don't overthink of it. After all the truth of Mutsumi's family isn't something the outside world is meant to see. Yes Taiyou never knew the danger she was in, but Mutsumi wouldn't mention that to him before they got married. In fact him willing to stand by her side despite the task of protecting her is a giant task means a lot to her. Them expanding on the SoL aspects of this Action-Comedy is great.

Binged the last 7 episodes of Delicious in Dungeon and man, they really turned things up a notch each episode and it finally feels like a real story.

Gotta be honest, I don't remember the last time I was pissed at a show like when Fallin got mind controlled and taken not even 1 fukking episode after coming back :martin: :martin:

They couldn't even give us a couple of eps of wholesome fukkery before taking her away :mjcry:

It's was clearly the emotion the series wants to get from me but still, fuuuuuuck :pacspit:

Talk about going out sad, from a highly touted show to looking like a ReBoot rip-off.

Train to the End of the World Episode 3

They executed the horror vibes in this episode well. Great episode. You know the whole Mushroom people was really suspect at the start, but damn they accepted becoming mushrooms. It's one thing for the woman to accept being a mushroom as she doesn't want to deal with the problems in this crazy world. But forcing that on others isn't the way.

Tbh the other girls not being suspect that everyone having mushroom heads was odd. I guess they assumed it was just cosmetic. Granted once they started consuming mushroom they had them. Poor Akira, she went through a lot in this episode. She has this scary-cat vibe which can make people think she overreacts to everything. I can relate to her because people say the same thing with them.

I do love how Akira gets to Shizuru for her deciding she does not want to become a mushroom and set out to find Youka. Furthermore, I guess maybe the mushroom was ingrained more in her than Reimi and Nadeshiko. Though it appears Akira is growing potentially a tail. Oh boy.
Also, Shizuru's anti-mushroom ninja outfit was funny.

Tsukimichi S2 Episode 15

It's been slow for a bit, but looks like Makoto will be cutting ties with the Hyumans in favor of the demons. You know we should have seen this coming, but god that head of the merchant guild was an a$$hole. While it's obvious Makoto wasn't fully prepared for that situation. Still to ridicule Makoto to such a degree is crossing the line.

I am wondering how is Makoto going to progress with the good relationships of the Hyumans he has met. Rembrandts and his fellow students. While it's easy to cut ties with the 95% of the bad, but what about the small percentage of the good ones? I suspect Aensland sisters will either travel with or be in good hands with Makoto. The thought of Makoto's students serving the princess and Tomoki makes me sick.

Now the flip side is that, helping the demons makes Makoto next encounter with Sofia and the rest of them very interesting.

Holo's description on greedy honestly holds true. If you are never greedy and never take risks you will never come up at a loss. However, there is nothing beneficial to not being greedy in taking risks. Essentially taking calculated risks and not becoming overly greedy is the key.

Screen_Shot_2024-04-15_at_3.38.30_PM.png


Beyond that it's very true that those who are in power dictate the power of said coin is determined by the power of that country. The real trouble is understanding what that value changes. I imagine in today's world that goes more so how the value of goods change. Tbh absorbing all this is a little challenging, but very interesting.

Screen_Shot_2024-04-15_at_3.56.24_PM.png


Holo teasing Lawerence is entertaining though. Simply put the world is full of idiots simply put as each goes about for their own selfish desires. The interaction between people is what makes life enjoyable. Would be boring if that wasn't the case.

@LordDeathwatch As far as I am wrapping up S4.

First off man this irredeemable PoS woman :pacspit:

On one hand you can tell she loves the 2 kids she had with Lao Ai. But at the same time telling her first son how much she loves him. The woman who never attempted to show that love to Zheng. Adding on top of that telling Zheng she wishes he was never born. Which is the most disgusting thing a parent can ever say to their child. Leaves Xiang in tears, as she loves him.

You can understand her pain of losing her 2 new kids. But she never once gave an attempt to look Zheng in the eyes let alone try to repair their relationship as mother and son.

Despite everything that woman put him through, he even goes through the effort to hid her kids and reunite them with their mother when the time was right. Zheng's point was to make sure to eliminate potential signs of a rebellion. It doesn't mean the kids had to die, but from the public they would believe the kids would seek out revenge one day.

Zheng simply showing his character and reuniting them with their mother one day. Despite the fact this is the same mother who never showed him an ounce of love. He understands no point dwelling on the past, and it's time to move forward.

While the inner battle with Lu Buwei resolved, Zheng has even more work to do. You got Buwei's crew, but also the inner palace work to concern with now. It will take months because this resemblance a significant power that Zheng and Qin needs. After all Wu Meng is one of the generals who was in Buwei's corner. With that being said it was interesting to see Zheng having an influence on Buwei. He lost, but he took his defeat as gracefully as you can.

The joke of Zheng being his son was a heart attack at the moment. But in a way he has seen how much Zheng has grown. For him to be interested in what Zheng can do really implies how big of an influence Zheng is.

Here we have Zheng finally unifying Qin. Which was the first step now comes the next part of his plan, where both him and Lord Chengping have laid out a 15-year plan. Well damn, I'll be impressed to have that confidence. But like Lu Buwei said the suffering it took to accomplish unifying Qin will only be greater if unifying the whole Middle Kingdom.

Part of Zheng and Chengping's plan is to bring back the Six great generals. Now there is ton of competition. Teng, Wu Meng, Hang Yi, Jian Wang, and Yang Duanhe. Yang Duanhe was a surprise, but honestly the mountain warriors are such a big threat and help for Zheng and Qin, that it only makes sense. But man this leaves only one spot left for Xin, Ben and Tian. You know Qiang Lei will go those guys a run for their money.

Meanwhile on the Chu side of things, they are going through some changes of who's in power. And to be quite honest keep tracking of the politics of how it broke down was a lot to take in. Lord Chunshen's child being the heir is very interesting. And to lose a man who was near Li Mu's caliber supposedly is a big loss. Li Yuan asking Wa Lin to serve as chancellor alongside him is interesting. bytch is crazy, but she is a top general for a reason. Curious how it plays out on Chu's end.

Screen_Shot_2024-04-15_at_8.43.13_PM.png


In a lot of ways so much has happened. But in reality this is just the beginning for Xin and Zheng.

For the life of me i don't know what the fukk could've been going on in those board meetings to make them come to that decision. The first 2 episodes and the entire premise of the show had jack and shyt to do with big bad beetleborgs, yet that's what it morphed into from ep 3 and on. It's like if halfway through s1 of Demon Slayer they suddenly said man fukk these katanas and secret arts, let's give em all M16s and turn this bytch into call of duty instead :mjlol:
