The last post of this kind was two months ago, so it was time for a refresher of the de-facto recommendation thread of the weeb channel of Hexbear. Personally, work has greatly diminished my free time and makes me tired all the time, but there's still something to squeeze in. **For me:** **Manga:** **Oresama Teacher (2007-2020, 176 Chapters)** - I have already praised this series last time around and am still reading it. Much like in Nozaki-Kun, where this manga really shines are the characters. Kurosaki Mafuyu might be one of my all-time favorite characters in manga. Someone who is an utter fool, but written in a realistic and endearing way, in spite of the ridiculous plot. **A+** **Anime:** **Dragon Ball (1986-1989, 153 Episodes)** - Dragon Ball is a show that rightfully deserves its reputation, as it is extremely solid once it figures itself out. Gone is the horniness of early episodes, the show reached a very high peak in the Piccolo Daimao arc and has kept it up ever since. I am like 10 episodes away from finishing it, but there is one worry. The power scaling, well... it's not exactly balanced. It makes early arcs feel puny in comparison. Also give us Pilaf back smh. **A** **Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Season 2 (2008, 13 Episodes)** - This show continues with its ruthless social criticism (both good and fascinatingly bad) from Season 1, but it goes hard in an abstract direction that is masterfully adapted by Shaft's arthouse-like style. It is also unfortunately pretty horny, like many other Shaft anime... and very entertaining. **A+** **Descending Stories: Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju (2017, 12 Episodes)** - This show really is as good as the ratings suggest. It's very un-anime in the sense that it is a serious drama with character-driven storytelling and almost 0 of the usual tropes of the medium. The characters are so good that you WILL get hooked if you watch enough. **A+** **Fullmetal Alchemist (2003, 51 Episodes)** - Now solidly into anime original territory, I have to say this is a really good show, even though the main villains' plans have to fully unravel yet. The atmosphere is on point, and the older early-digital color palette makes it look better than FMAB imo. I will have to check out the manga after finishing the show, since I am curious how the story is there - I dropped FMAB early on, since it didn't hook me at first but '03 did the trick. **A** **Re:Creators (2017, 22 Episodes)** - I started this today thanks to the Mother's Basement video on his favorite Isekai, and I have to say that even if the story ends up really bland, the premise alone is enough to make this show interesting. I think it could have worked better with only one character, but oh well. **Too early to tell, but B+** I need to get back to **Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction** (2024), since I watched a couple of episodes and was intrigued, but then didn't find the time to watch more. ...and get back to **reading Capital**, of course.

I saw them live on Friday at the Eastside Festival in Halle. They sound better live, and left the backstage after their set to mingle with the other festivalgoers and see the other bands perform - quite endearing.

Being duped into hating your fellow in the proletariat and seeing killing them to "protect *your* nation" is very easy to do in times of war, and people there, from the communists-in-hiding to the Nazi bozos Sieg-heiling on the frontlines get to experience the horrors of war. Many can't deal with it and go abroad to a safer haven. Here, you have not just thousands - millions of Bozos for whom you are also merely an instrument for advancing that state's interests. Be it working at shit jobs for shit-euro-pay or getting sent back to die in a WW1-Style-trench. Who hate you if you are too much of a loser to fulfill their ever rising demands, who hate you if you dare existing too obviously. The Europeans eagerly march into the same hatred as above, millions supporting the military, Sabre-rattling, even open warfare! All to show strength, even if it causes WW3! Willing to FUCKING DIE for the nation, for its interests, economic and/or political, to own the evil barbarians (the same is highly likely to be said in Russia) Proletarian Internationalism? But have you considered everyone but ~~me~~ us (and they say humans are selfish by nature) is morally evil! And anger against all this doesn't seem to be going anywhere, just into people who are considered better managers of nationalism - the fash.

I was boredly looking around YouTube on this Sunday morning and in the mood to watch some bozo talk about anime, maybe get some insights, discover some obscure hidden gem and the like. However, I found it surprisingly hard to find quality in that scene, beyond niche video-makers like Kenny Lauerdale. Thus I was wondering if you have any recommendations of some people you like making videos about anime.

STOP POSTING ABOUT THE ELECTION! I'M TIRED OF SEEING IT! THE GOVERNMENT AND OPPOSITION ON TIKTOK SEND ME PROPAGANDA, IN REAL LIFE IT'S FUCKING PROPAGANDA! I was at work, right? and ALL OF THE DISCUSSIONS were just election stuff. I-I showed my champion underwear to my girlfriend and t-the logo I flipped it and I said "hey babe, when this is the most important election of our lifetime HAHA DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DI DI DING" I fucking looked at a trashcan and said "THAT'S A BIT SPD" I looked at my penis I think of a soldier's helmet and I go "PENIS? MORE LIKE DEMOCRACY" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHGESFG

I am unfortunately employed now, so my free time has been devoured by the job, commute and preparation. However, I have still managed to keep up with a few shows and manga - at a slow pace. So how about you? For me: **Manga:** **Oresama Teacher (2007-2020, 176 Chapters)** - The only manga I'm reading at the moment is a work by Tsubaki Izumi of Gekkan-Shoujo Nozaki-kun. It is a story of a former delinquent Mafuyu Kurosaki becoming a transfer student and trying to turn her life around. Like a wild mixture of Angel Densetsu and Nozaki-kun, it is indeed a hilarious manga with surprisingly in-depth characters, but instead of the 4-koma format of the latter, it has shoujo manga length chapters. ***(so far) A+** **Anime:** **Dragon Ball (1986-1989, 153 Episodes)** - Dragon Ball is a VERY competent Shounen, and one that steadily gets better and drops the immaturity and much of the horniness of the early part of the show. However, around the 100th episode things start changing. The show becomes... interesting. Definitely recommend sticking around to see the show grow. **A** **Sayonara Zetsubou-Sensei, Season 1 (2007, 12 Episodes)** - This show apparently was a darling of weebs a decade ago, and it is not hard to see why. Edgyness, egregious fanservice, a cynical attitude towards society so typical of the 90s and apparently the 2000s too. The show provides critique that can sometimes hit at the core of the problem (including anticapitalist critique), and at the same time mock people who seek to do something about it. It's hit and miss, but undeniably interesting. The unique artstyle, the music, the Maeda cameos are bonuses. **A** **Lupin III: Part II (1977-1981, 155 Episodes)** - Hit and miss episode quality, but always entertaining. Sometimes really weird (but apparently 80s Lupin/Part III is most like that), but those tend to be the most fun episodes. Definitely a fantastic show to relax after a stressful day, and there's a lot of episodes. **A-** **Lost Universe (1998, 26 Episodes)** - Fun characters, but the sci-fi spin-off to Slayers is nowhere near as fun as that series. It's decent though. **B-** **Konosuba Season 3 (Ongoing seasonal, 11 Episodes)** - It's more of Konosuba. Juvenile and horny humor, surprisingly decent character writing in spite of the weeb-brained overall writing and a better isekai than the much of the genre it satirises? Yeah, it's all still here. And not much more, but if you like the rest... **B** **Too early to tell** - **Fullmetal Alchemist 2003** (Very good so far. I like the atmosphere more than FMAB's and find myself enjoying it more than when I tried to watch that) - **Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu** (very much anti-weeb brained + unique setting and premise = good, but can't tell more until I've seen the rest) --------- **Tired of libs? Want to debunk common arguments as early as in the first chapter?** Read **Das Kapital** by Karl Marx. Not as hard as its reputation suggests.

Read Oresama-Teacher. It's by the same author and basically a deranged mix between GSNK and... Angel Densetsu? Yup, an actually funny delinquent comedy. Featuring basically a less malicious Seo Yuzuki and evil Umetaro Nozaki expies. Instead of a 4-Koma, the Manga features Shojo manga standard ~50 page chapters and it's completed too. Maybe there's a big cringe moment in it, but even though I am far from finishing it, I wanna recommend it. That's all.

Tfw you get into an anime with only one or maybe two seasons The story is incomplete. The last season was a decade ago or more, a new season has become a running joke among people who like it too. The manga is there, but it's unfinished and progresses at a glacial pace. I'm talking of course about Kaiji, but the show from the picture is also a victim (Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-Kun). Something like Interviews with Monster Girls at least has the manga be complete, even if you can read the last volume only in Spanish if you don't speak Japanese. Alas, big booba waifu shows with the level 99 elves, a wish fulfillment loser to gigachad main character will be more profitable, helping self-reinforce the unsavory parts of weeb culture. :)

I've been having an itch for Disco Elysium recently, but this time I was also wondering: what did other people think of it? Was there any Youtube or possibly streamed playthrough you enjoyed watching? Did any communist theoryhead play the game for an audience? Any unique points of view?

Not as good as Azumanga, but still has plenty of charm to it and of course KyoAni's reputation of quality is not without merit.

I finished it today and well... it's gone straight to my favorites' list. The show is the inventor of a dozen of different tropes, as well as a whole genre, and does them better than most other inspired by it. I love how the characters are surprisingly not mono-dimensional. Ayumu Kasuga is *the* weird anime character, but is not reduced to that role - loyal friend, her comments are to some degree "huh, that *is* a good question!", is a poor but not awful student and (as evidenced by a comment in E25) apparently keeps up with politics for example. Even though you know she is likely to do poorly in many things, there is no guarantee of it. Thus, you root for her even as she fails the bread eating contest. She's also relatable in the weirdest ways possible. The rest of the cast reaches lower highs of complexity, but Ms. Sakaki's and Kaorin's arcs are both incredibly simple, yet make you want to root for them. In many other shows, I feel some of the archetypes would often be merged together into one - a mixture of Tomo and Kagura for example. Or, not bother with the passage of time. Sure, the high school bliss fantasy is something many Japanese people apparently yearn for, considering the popularity of such settings and viewer demographics, but the ending works well because of that. You know the wacky adventures can't last forever or are in a vacuum - they started and have ended on time. Either way, it's definitely a good watch and one of the more fun anime shows I've seen in a while.

lives up to the hype. It's a really fun show. It, much like Tenchi Muyo, both founded a genre of anime and are at the same time seemingly the best at it. Which is funny, considering there is a direct connection between the two shows through the author of Azumanga Daioh (he used to make Tenchi Muyo doujinshi). Kimura's the worst character, but at least he's got a 0% approval rate among the show's characters.

Fukumoto predicted the many Silicon Valley sickos between 19 and 23 years ago 😌 Either that, or this kind of nonsense was common among the bourgeois even then. Also, I binged 588 chapters of Kaiji last week. I now understand what the One Piece sickos feel... I suppose. It's definitely good shit and you should read it or at least watch the Anime - you'll have **ざわ・・ざわ・・** living rent free in your head thanks to the excellent direction and narration in it.

This show is good shit. One of my personal favorites, in fact. Shame S2 will probably never happen, but hey if City Hunter or Slam Dunk got sequels after 30 years then why not Tylor?

First opened in 1866, it was built in its current form in 1978 and has since been renovated in 1995 and 2016. Currently, the previously white paneling of the station building (still visible from the train platforms), has the livery of the *Climate Stripes*, showing the rise of average temperatures over the last 173 years. Opposite the station entrance building is the city bus and tram terminal. It is also known as Chóśebuz głowne dwórnišćo in the local Lower Sorbian language, a western slavic ethnic group living in southern Brandenburg and Eastern Saxony. I took the picture. **Rail connections from the station (omitting small towns from itinerary stops):** **IC 2432 (InterCity):** Cottbus -> Berlin -> Magdeburg -> Hannover -> Bremen-> Norddeich Mole (oceanside station in far-northwest Germany) - once daily at 06:01 AM - arrival 1:38 PM (7h 37min) **RE2 (Regional-Express):** Cottbus -> Berlin -> Nauen (every 60 minutes from 3:47 AM to 10:03 PM; 2h 19min) **RE10:** Frankfurt by the Oder (border with Poland) -> Cottbus -> Leipzig (every 120 minutes; 3h 14min) **RE13:** Cottbus -> Senftenberg -> Elsterwerda (every 60 minutes to Senftenberg, every 120 minutes to Elsterwerda; 1h 6min) **RE18:** Cottbus -> Dresden (every 120 minutes; 1h 44min) **RB43 (Regional Train):** Frankfurt by the Oder -> Cottbus -> Falkenberg (every 120 minutes; 2h 30min) *Note: Due to the RE10 and RB43 being one hour apart, there is a connection between Cottbus and Frankfurt by the Oder every 60 minutes)* **ODEG RB46 (Operated by the private company *East German Railway*):** Cottbus -> Forst an der Lausitz (border with Poland) (every 60 minutes; 18min) **RB49:** Cottbus -> Falkenberg (different route than RB43) (every 120 minutes; 1h 30m) **ODEG RB65:** Cottbus -> Görlitz (border with Poland) -> Zittau (border with Poland and the Czech Republic) (every 60 minutes; 1h 52m)
