anime

maybe back-catalogue is everything

Maybe a show gets less than 20% of its views while airing

and I'm just wrong

HiDive has a big back catalogue but their service is horrible

they have the original LOGH which is neat

But I'd much rather see a site, decide to translate a show while airing, maintain it for 1-2 seasons after airing, and then sell the rights to CR/Funi/ whoever

it doesn't jive with every other idea I have said

but if that's what they have to do to keep it financially viable

I'd at least like to see someone try

The dream of course is to have a one-stop shop for everything

(the same dream for Western TV as well which will never happen)

But I feel like anime is almost small enough they could pull it off

convince RLM to cover some random anime

One of the guests mentioned jojo at one point

Re:View Evengelion

what volume does konosuba get "good" according to you guys

I just finished explosions 3

so vol 7 is next

explosions sucks

I already know of your opinion of explosions

Volumes without Darkness are good

Volumes with her are meh

spinoffs (other than Explosions 1 and Mask 1) are a step below those

Also, whatever order you're reading them in is probably retarded

No reason to not just read the main series, and then spinoffs

timeline iliterally doesnt matter

especially because it doesnt fit release order

which is better to read in because release order is literally better for everything

release order is the only non autistic way to read/watch anything

anything else requires a degree of autism

there are very few cases where timeline order is better or you should even think about

Release order is super gay for Konosuba, because More Explosions came out chapter by chapter, between volumes

Main series --> spinoffs

KnK movies aren't in timeline order on release but that's so you can patch it together. The best way to watch KnK movies is once through release, then after it watch in timeline to help piece stuff together

is fine

Also Max, the official TL for MT is strange

it's not bad at all

the LNs?

yeah

I read vol 1 twice though last week

y

I wanted to know what the difference between them were

remember, I was stuck in an airport for like 10 hours

anyway, it's translated faithfully and is pretty good

Other than the usual refusal to use meme words

I read in release order

rip darkness

still better than aqua kappa1

what does release order meant to you though Bopit?

read main series first

don't read spinoffs until later

^

there's literally no point

if things are concurrent I would consume all of the one before going to the other

you're not really meant to

I have been following this

that's an autistic way to follow it

and you have to read shit before the good stuff constantly

just read the main series first

So Pika, at the end of each volume, they wrote a single special chapter for Megumin which are a side story, sold separately

I see

so time-line wise and release wise, it's broken up

but the non-autistic way to read it is main series, then spinoffs

To be fair I cannot really converse about this because reading things and watching things have different context for order because of shit like that

I don't mind this order

it's bad

The spinoffs barely touch the main series ever anyways

The Dust spinoffs straight aren't worth it

and the later Megumin ones are pretty meh

idc, explosions aren't as good, but I still enjoy them somewhat

it's better to just read it through though

I mean, Bopit, why does it even matter

I'll probably just read the other spinoffs to say I have read them too

The only proper order is to read the Dust story first, them explosions in reverse release, then the prime number versions of the main story then the remainder in chronological

it's an autistic order, but at the end of the day it's not like it really matters

exactly

I think it's more

why does it matter for you to read it that way to you
