I can shit on LNs for being needlessly long, but they can at least progress on an actual timescale in the real world

manga don't have that luxary
so poor planning, or wanting to write in circles
is just annyoing
and so many series just become a psuedo-SoL
they reach some sort of status quo
and just stay the same until I stop checking for updates
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 A lot of modern popular series (even in Japan) are also just softcore hentai

also this is the series I was thinking of when I said this, it's one of the top (views and sales) manga in Japan rn
despite being quite literally just porn
Replying to Garbage #garbageatgaming There are a good amount of authors who just need to swap to only doing manuscripts or hop to a light novel or they are just going to die before the work is finished.
there's something comedic when the author themselves realizes this (or sales dip and they're told to wrap it up)
chapters become text dumps
trying to advance the world and setup very obvious plot points

I am still liking oshi no ko, I guess it has not gotten to the part where it gets really bad
I've liked it about as much as S2
It is entirely possible, like kaguya, it just skips a ton of shit and does an anime original ending
and you will have people complaining about it despite the stuff it skips not being good

I can't believe Misaka fucking dies
Maybe we get a full adaptation eventually
I am sure JC staff will finish it
I think the team doing the anime for railgun was just better, with a better team index could have been a similar tier (I like S1 and S2 quite a bit still)
Are you going to watch ITEM with everyone this year
I have high hopes, its the director of railgun

i can’t believe the last 4 years of the manga was a flashback
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak Are you going to watch ITEM with everyone this year

Japanese artists are going so completely overboard with watermarks on Twitter
wtf prompted this
AI stuff is a lot of it
a bunch of them got mad at the grok recreate this image thing
fire force
having the first 3 minutes of the episode be just live action footage of a japanese woman doing weird poses (not sexual weird, just weird weird) was a choice. The author really thought he was cooking with the meta commentary of this story huh

Spooky if I gave you a thousand guesses as to what rail loli's season 2's genre is, you would not get it
it is an ASMR show where the train lolis go around recording audio of things that are not train related
the show includes characters from the actual VN this time though, so it is a step up I guess

I didn't realize they were changing studios again
this looks more like S1
The dream of 8bit doing 4 season 4s at the same time though...
