Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 and I can tell the author has that top-of-mind in whatever production support he's been providing the anime
Yep, he's adapting parts of Redundancy
anime
Sunday, August 2, 2026
it was mostly vibes last week based on the way he was focusing on certain things
but this week there's an entire scene from Redundancy 1
It's more of a short story collection
This entire episode was an add-in to the main series
The parts with Sarah, Alyssa, Grace, and the Princess are all from a LN interlude
and then the Eris scene is from Redundancy 1
nvm I'm wrong
the TL is still bad, but it's less of a fuckup and more just normal bad
damn, he was wrong about this being the endgame of episodes leading into wandavision (marvel joke for all you marvel heads out there)
Since we are talking about MT and I saw this on twitter, was world's finest assassin really the better MT all along?
(it is not)
It's still funny to me that the opening to Assassin, which sold me on the whole show
was completely anime original
It's cool that authors can sorta retcon their stories with an anime adap
Classroom of the Elite did it too
That being anime original is insane
E1 was literally the best episode of anime that season
at some point 15 volumes in, you realize you did a bad job setting everything up, and benefit from a do-over
I will have to rewatch assassin whenever the S2 they announced is actually coming out, maybe I will be less mad at it the second time
I just remember being really mad at the ending
Run like the wind Pika
That part did not make me mad, it was funny
and every time it shows up in AMQ, I laugh
Him using a rod from god against the guy in the last episode instead of being an assassin is what sold me on "this show forgot its premise completely"
A lot of recent shows I've liked (and some mangas too) have also had similar issues
At some point they fail at executing a basic story balance, and then make up for it by overcorrecting and speedrunning to some "payoff"
which ends up just feeling unearned and/or silly
I get that assassin is just his job, but as it progresses (at least in the anime), he kind of just stops acting like he has 60 years of experience being the worlds best assassin
to the point where he might as well not have been one
also I don't recall, if he did, it just cut to him and it was not him meeting the hero
it cut to him, I assume to remind people that was supposed to be a hook
I also did not like that the goddess was not actually a quirky funny goddess and was instead some machine/system or whatever it is I am vaguely remembering
MT: Not beating the cuck allegations
Roxy's already a pot

I'm hopeful we get progress
They set this up, and we're overdue for something

The season 2 finale of LOGH / Legend of the Galactic Heroes raises the question of what if Kircheis and Annerose were at the coronation.
I like to ask what if Berty and Bart (from Lufia II) were at Reinhard's corronation.

Yeah, I noticed that the other day
It's not broken, but it seems like it's choking on some type of request, times out, and then begins working normally again
It's still the best for multi-site search
And depends what I'm looking up if I still use it or not, you can get pretty far just matching with Google/Gemini images for a lot of stuff
Iqdb was always faster for bouru stuff
But that's all in most training datasets too
The nice thing about iqdb is the historical records
Because it'll match something from someone who has purged their Twitter and pixiv

Agreed
I gave it a real chance to get better, but it's pretty bland
I almost clipped that to post out of context when he said that too
