Keeping an eye on this thread. I’ve tried many FOSS music apps, but never found one as nice as the non-FOSS Pulsar, particularly in regards to playlist functionality.

The pattern I’ve noticed is that the talents who are leaving (and don’t have chronic health issues) are the talents who have more of a focus on streaming and less of a focus on singing and dancing.

That’s most of EN though…

Idk, most don’t seem to like the direction Cover is going towards and that’s fine. We don’t know anything else like we do with Nijisanji, so sweeping statements like:

the company’s direction is not good for the talents.

Isn’t really something you can say just based on that. We know the company is shifting direction, and that usually results in things like this. Happens with regular companies too.

I feel like if there was anything like Nijisanji going on, we’d know.

Still worrying, but not that bad imo.

Sad, but not a surprise unfortunately

Great 1st ep. This has the potential to be one of those anime that is great fun the entire time and then hit you in the face

The episode makes it seem like Mia wasnt paying attention in saintess school when they were covering the whole “summon pillars, set up barrier to weaken monsters” thing

More like Philia being so powerful no one ever needed to do anything. The knights didn’t deploy and as they said earlier, erecting such a pillar is not a simple task.

I can’t really shake the feeling that this anime’s been specifically set up to get the audience to cry. I’m not sure how to feel about that.

Also, I’ve never heard an argument/fight being referred to as a “row”

she didn’t get a drop from her friend in the first half.

She did though, didn’t she? She had 4 drops by the end of the episode

That new eunuch is definitely Suirei, right?

Interesting thought. Sadly I don’t remember much about Suirei…

Which I still find suspicious with all the cutting and muting the EBU seemed to do

Because some of their broadcasters are part of the European Broadcasting Union. Neighbouring countries like Jordan and Lebanon are part of the EBU too, but others like Morocco and Algeria are part of the EBU as well, and as such can also compete. They rarely or never have though (in part because of Israel’s involvement, but sometimes also more puritan reasons like nudity).

Totally, but the dire wolf is not one of them

that disappeared because of humans and restoring ecosystems are possible ones

Yeah, 10,000 years ago. Is it really restoring when the ecosystem has been functioning for such a long period without it? Wouldn’t it sooner disrupt it?

Gritonia is even more infuriating in anime form than in the manga. Hearing them just brings another dimension of disgust.

Yep, a slight suspicion started a few episodes ago for me, but with this episode it’s a stronger suspicion. But with the rumours of Loulan being pregnant combined with the whole twin stuff not really having amounted to much so far, my theory of them being twins is starting to sound somewhat plausible too.

I’ve been pretty busy lately, so the Spring season snuck up on me. So far, I’m continuing Apothecary Diaries and I watched the 1st ep of the 2nd season of SHOSHIMIN today. The former is still brilliant, and the latter started off great. Other than that, I’ll need to look at Anichart or something.

Not had time to continue much of RWBY and I’m not sure I will anymore. Last time I was in the mood for something silly, but I’m not sure I am anymore.

Oh dear, is Osanai an arsonist now? Or is it just a red herring?

I’m starting to suspect Shisui is either Loulan, or related to Loulan. Given the emperor’s preferences for well-endowed women, her eye and hair colour seeming similar, knowing too much for a servant girl and the rumours this ep…

If it’s the latter, maybe it even has to do something with the twins story from earlier? Maybe the blond twins were a red herring?

This makes me very happy

An alright anime. It felt like a lot of the mysteries relied on the incompetence of others though
