I don't know how it is in Canada, but they've been uploading all the episodes on YouTube as well. In America that's currently the only way to watch it legally
-
M's back to .500. Cole Young is having a good start to the season as well, hope he keeps it up and our middle line up starts being so cold. At least J-Rod looks to be finding his groove. I feel bad for Trout. He might stay healthy all season and have great numbers, but that Angels pitching...

I'm glad to hear that you are enjoying the anime so far! I've been putting off starting it just 'cause I hardly ever use Netflix. Guess I'm gonna have to fire it up and get watching sometime soon!

Akane-banashi and Dr. Stone are the only ones I've really been watching. Been hella busy with music and school lately and been caught up in this other show or playing Hades whenever I have some free time. I'm really enjoying how they've done Akane-banashi so far. Episode 4 was great
-
It’s on my “try it” list! I just hardly ever log in to Netflix. Mainly have it for my kids to use. Akane-banashi is also on Netflix so whenever I get around to watching it, I’ll check out Ramparts of Ice too. I’m enjoying the Kill Blue anime a lot more than I expected I would. Really fun and likable cast of characters and a kooky story.
-
Not sure if you have Netflix or not, but the author of Polar Opposites has another Anime called The Ramparts of Ice airing right now and it's good too.

9.) Hell is Us Fantastic game. Published by Nacon so I was expecting some hefty euro-jank, but this game was really solid all around. Relatively fun combat, top notch exploration, creepy enemies, intense atmosphere, and a compelling mystery. Ending had an okay twist but was pretty open ended so a little unsatisfying, but overall the game was pretty stellar. The story got super dark at times, though, and I haven't had this much trouble getting through a game since Last of Us 2. Not because it was bad or uninteresting, but because it kept giving me weird, existential dread. It's set in a country with thousands of years of infighting and on and off civil war with the two sides hating each other for a variety of fundamental and religious reasons (the social commentary is not subtle, clearly) and they don't shy away from the worst kind of things that happen in a war. I can only see so many dead kids and what not before I have to take a break for a while. X_x If you have a tolerance for that kind of thing though, very much recommend. Exploration is very intentionally "anti-hand holding". There's no real map or quest markers. They give your ass a compass and a data pad and go "figure shit out" and it was kind of refreshing. In part because the data pad is doing WORK. It tracks info on essentially everything you find so you have everything logged that you come across, but it's still up to you to remember where that thing is and make connections about how it works. For example, side quest with starving baby. No milk/formula left. Gives you empty bottles. It's on you to remember that you met a farmer with a cow in a different area you had explored previously and if you helped him then you can get some milk from him. Lots of stuff like that. 10.) The Thaumaturge Interesting little isometric, turn-based RPG set in alternate history Warsaw during the rule of Tzar Nicolas II. So you have magic people who can summon ghosts and manipulate emotions and some other mystical shit and Rasputin is in it. Because of course he is. Overall the game was pretty interesting. Getting a hand on what Thaumaturges actually do and how they work while bumbling around Pre WWI Poland and getting into turn based fights where people are shooting you for 2 damage and then punching you for 5 while you make your giant, nearly featherless ghost-bird peck them on the back of the head or screech in their ear. More games need to be made with this level of silly and just own the hell out of it. Game felt a little on rails during the first act, but as it neared act 3, choices really started to feel like they would have immediate and meaningful impact for the end. Seems like there's a lot of stuff you can do in it overall. Also, I commissioned a diamond and gold encrusted horse saddle for a horse named Bosephaulus behind the back of an asshole German businessman using his own money while he was laying off staff to save money and the rest went on strike and frankly, I need more games like this. Not sure how I felt about the game overall. Fights felt very rock-paper-scissors to some degree, though the fights didn't last so long I grew worried. Kind of want to play again sometime and take some other choices . Crank my pride to max and go all in on whatever crazy shit Rasputin has been smoking just to see where it takes me.

That was a great twist in Kurumizawa's Folly! Totally had me going. Good show, Hata. I am loving the last couple chapters of Akane-banashi. Her performance of God of Death has been absolutely captivating
-
Bit of a funny start to the season. Certain teams are disappointing so far, like my Blue Jays But I don't think any team is hopeless. Many teams are just mid. Almost every team is in the double digits for wins except the Phils and Mets (both of those teams might be hitting the panic button soon)
-
When's the last time 2 (Possibly 3) managers get fired before May? Hell when's the last time a manager has been fired in April period?
-
Ok, been a bit quiet from me in here, though I'm caught up on my usuals now other than some of what happened this week, but I had to comment on Kurumizawa #18 I've also been reading the new series Haunted Peak. I'm not 100% how I feel about it yet, I think the chapters sometimes leave off on awkward spots, but I'm pretty intrigued to find out what the heart of the mystery is
- Earlier

I looked at the Mets the other day to see how Bo Bichette is doing over there so far. Pretty sad stuff all around I hope he bounces back soon. He can be really streak-y. The Jays finally remember yesterday that it's good to score more than one run. And they won a game. Shocker! Luckily, the Yankees haven't completely run away with the division yet. One or two weeks of good baseball and hopefully the Jays can get back to around .500 if not better. They started slow last year too. Similar story for the M's, the division is still well within reach even though they didn't have a super strong start so far. They can catch those other teams.
-
I've found the first couple episodes of Daemons of the Shadow Realm to be pretty good. I need more episodes and more story info to make better sense of what's going on though I'm enjoying having Dr. Stone back in my life after taking the last couple seasons of the anime off. And Ace of Diamond is top tier stuff. The first episode of Kill Blue was pretty solid as well. The manga was fun most of the way. Not the best ending, but the anime probably won't ever get that far.
-
Only thing I've started watching that started in the Spring is Daemons of the Shadow Realm, which I'm liking so far. It's from FMA creator, so I'm expecting good things from it.
-
Well neither team is doing really well, at least the Jays can chop it up to injuries. The Mariners on the other hand...but they've always been a team to get going later in the year vs early. Could be worse, we could be a Mets fan.
-
I watched the new episode of Ace of Diamond last night. Hard to believe the first part of Act II finished in 2020. I wasn't sure how good my memory would be, but within the first couple minutes it all came flooding back and I am very invested in this story again. I don't think any of the voice actors have changed. It all just feels right. I've never read the manga but I know it ended a few years ago. I've tried to avoid reading any spoilers but in general it seems like the ending was not well received. However much more of the anime we get, I'm hoping it ends on a good note, even if the story remains unfinished.
-
Absolutely not.

And now The Mage Next Door is over. Oh well. It was a fun little series while it lasted IMHO but I guess it wasn't popular. Akane-banashi # 201 She's off to a great start. Almost seems to easy Ichi the Witch # 77 Introduced a new character that I don't have a very good first impression of Hopefully that gets better. Sakamoto Days # 254 I knew he was going to pull it off somehow. "No grudges." Shishiba is a badass Kagurabachi # 117 Last couple chapters have revealed so much about the background of the story. Fascinating stuff. The current arc is sort of like a prequel. The action is about to get crazy and I am here for it

More Frieren has been announced for late 2027: Sousou no Frieren: Ougonkyou-hen Over the weekend I finished up the Hell's Paradise manga and thought the ending was quite good. Curious to know if we'll ever get to see it animated. AFAIK a third season hasn't been announced yet. I haven't watched anything new from the Spring season yet but I've got a few episodes queued up to hopefully watch tonight.
-
Finished Frieren last night, last 3 episodes. They were great. Season 3? They set us up for another season.
-
It’s too early for me to be worried about the Jays yet. Lots of time. They definitely need to tighten up various aspects of their game to get better results. I think they can do it. I agree that the Yanks pose a big challenge for any AL team wanting to go to the World Series. They started strong last year too though. Sometimes stuff happens. We’ll see..!
-
The way I see it...it's the Yankees vs field for the AL and the Dodgers vs the Field for the NL. It's weird it's not the Yankees line up that's scary it's going to be that rotation barring injuries. Fried, Schittler and then add Cole and Rodon when they come back. That's pretty solid. I know it's early...but the Jays can't be losing series to the Rockies and White Sox. I'm posting because the M's lost 0-1 last night, but had 3 HR's taken away.
-
b-but, it's tradition
-
There was a similar situation in the Jays game yesterday, although the Rockies' manager was way less heated. The Jays' batter (Sanchez IIRC) got a strike call overturned, as it was just barely a ball. He was a tick slow in tapping his hat for the challenge, certainly a bit over the two second time limit, but the umps let the ABS challenge go ahead. Managers are going to get real mad when that happens The Rox manager was fast out of the dugout to argue it with the ump. Sadly, it didn't turn into a shouting match and ejection...
