Ok, so the MC gets iskei’d into their own Mary Sue story, but as the villainess… now I really want to know if the author based it on something they wrote in middle school!

When you’re ready to make big changes, definitely look into threading as an alternative to waxing, a lot of folk find it less painful in the long term. (But it still really stings at first! :) )
Having thick/full eyebrows can be an advantage, since you have more to work with. I have the problem that my upper eyebrows are a bit too sparse, which makes them much more difficult to shape.
I thought Frieren was still better at suppressing her mana.
Although, Frieren did state in an earlier episode that Fern was faster at getting off spells, which would definitely be an advantage here.
Not everybody wants to subscribe to a community dedicated to a single seasonal show.
I know I actively avoid those communities for works based on a manga, because they often have spoilers show up by way of fanart/etc/. It’s just not a suitable place for general discussion of a currently airing anime.
Sure, that’s kind of tangential to the point I’m making. Something can reflect transphobic ideas without explicitly being about trans folk.
I’m curious how these modern takes on One Piece will deal with the Okama and related characters (assuming they get that far!)
I haven’t read the manga, but the anime at least comes off super-transphobic in how they’re played for laughs at times. I think that’d necessarily be cut from the live action version, but less hopeful about this for another anime adaptation.
I’ve always read that it’s because many light novels started online, and the way they were listed meant you needed the title to really grab folk’s attention.
(I actually really like this particular anime; the animation is often iffy but art and story really appeal to me!)

As a trans woman, I thought it was interesting that in one of the most recent chapters (this is not a spoiler) Shamiko has to deal with some minor awkwardness about her name having changed. The series is consistently queer-adjacent in ways that go way beyond the central relationship!
One kind of interesting twist on that is Fincher’s The Game. It remains unclear until the very end of the movie whether the main character is in a convoluted game where people are pretending to conspire against him, or an actual conspiracy using the game as cover.
They also tended to say the changes made it ‘hard to follow’ or ‘ruined the pacing’ or other things, but as an anime-only that just flat wasn’t true. I actually really loved the kind of elliptical feel of the story in S1.
I honestly kind of felt that source readers were border-line brigading posts about the anime on reddit. It certainly didn’t make me any more inclined to check it out!
You should probably have made some of the questions optional – “distribute a 100 points” is just not something I’m going to bother thinking about.
Bofuri is surprisingly good! Not in any way serious in tone, since it all takes place in an MMORPG, but some good action scenes, especially in the first season.
Pretty sure it’s completely kid friendly (no fan service or other anime weirdness.)
One issue I’ve seen is that the bot’s empty posts tend to flood out other more interesting stuff from my main feed.
I’ve thought about removing the community from my feed for that reason, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.
I think Shield Hero and Goblin Slayer have mixed review because the content/story is much more mature than Frieren.
Hmm, the former two shows always seemed extremely juvenile to me.
I’ve watched four this season:
it seems to kind of match the manga’s art style, though.
I think it’s a weirdly over-the-top response to the situation described here: https://www.polygon.com/23823516/dnd-dungeons-dragons-wizards-ai-art-controversy-bigby-presents-glory-of-the-giants
They’ve said they’re paying out of pocket, though the only stat I’ve seen is that it’s “significantly” more than $20 a month (which… could be basically anything lol.)
There’s a thread here with that info: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/1106021
r/egg_irl had pretty strong rules about that too – probably because you also have to deal with people uploading photos of others, and its way easier (given the focus of the place) to just ban them completely.
There’s definitely just some variance in terms of how much it bleeds and whether it hurts. I haven’t really noticed any pattern in terms of injection site; I think there are a lot of factors. Holding the vial and maybe rolling it between your hands can help warm up the liquid, which makes it a little bit easier to both draw and inject.
The needle size will affect these things too – the thinner the injection needle the less blood I’ve seen, but then it takes a little longer to inject. Do you know what gauge you’re using to inject with?
I found the whole process very stressful for the first several weeks, but eventually it just became routine!
