The self-titled album felt like the story of an innocent boy, Helplessness Blues felt like that boy was heading out into the big world, and Crack-Up feels like the consequences of that, and the loss of innocence.

Fool's Errand is one of the best tracks on that record for sure.

Is this new? Did Kishimoto really wait until 2023 to write this epilogue when there's already a bunch of Boruto stuff published?

Maybe Fishmans? I also prefer Carrie & Lowell live over the studio version.

It really feels like Ochako has some weird fixation on Toga, rather than this capacity for empathy that the author is trying to convey, yeah. This is making Ochako look like a bigger weirdo than Toga to be honest.

I feel like Kingdom Hearts was alright? But I was also an edgy teenager when I last read it so who knows if it aged well.

Banger of a song, and their only song after Whenever, If Ever that I really care about.

It makes me so happy when I see someone else recommending Brìghde! I got sold on The Reeling years ago because I read about it on Quietus, and she has been a fav of mine ever since.

Iedereen doet er goed aan om zelf zn muziek uit te kiezen in plaats van het over te laten aan zo'n presentator of wie daar ook verantwoordelijk voor is. Als iedereen hetzelfde luistert en hetzelfde goed vindt wordt t zo'n saaie egale meuk.

Weer een stapje dichterbij Rutte 25. Je kan m nu al zingen op de melodie van Hamburgers met Korting, oh-oooooh.

Personally I like the idea that the chapter is posted by a fan of the series so that they're relatively likely to respond to comments on the chapter. Y'know, have the idea that at least one person is invested in the thing being posted.

Edit: in addition, if I wanted an overview of every single new chapter, I'd just go to mangadex. I'd like an overview of chapters that people are actually interested in discussing, instead.

Thank you Viz for region locking Komi so I have an excuse to drop the series.

That was weird. And kinda fun.

Watchdog Man really feels similar to Saitama in a lot of ways. And it's not just the shape of his face and his blank expression.

I agree, to some degree. I do enjoy reading about people bonding over dinner, but the specifics of the recipes does not interest me at all. Collection of ingredients can be fun though, as well as unlocking new 'technologies' for better cooking, or getting buffs from the cool meals.

Yeah, people describing tastes that don't exist isn't great, but what bugs me more is that somehow the most dangerous monsters generally taste the best. Are you telling me that these tough-as-shit orc and dragon muscles are gonna taste better than those cows bred specifically for the purpose of optimizing tastiness? I'm not buying it.

Radiohead! Proceed with caution, not all of their albums are rock music.

I'm one of the weirdos buying into the hype of black midi, BCNR and Squid as well. Give them a shot. black midi is probably the most experimental of the bunch.

There's also Interpol, Arcade Fire, The National: the usual suspects. Dismemberment Plan, The Mars Volta, Porcupine Tree. Some more recent indie rock: Pinegrove, Hop Along, Indigo de Souza.

Your mileage may vary, of course, but they're some of my favorites.

'Retort based comedy' is certainly the correct description for this style, and it seems to be a staple of Japanese humor. The whole boke+tsukkomi schtick, right? It seems that for a lot of people, the retort is effectively the punch-line, but to me it feels more like a laugh track. Not necessarily a bad thing as long as the jokes or the antics are good, but you can get the same problem that, say, The Big Bang Theory has: tricking people into laughing at unfunny jokes.

I haven't seen/read enough D-Frag to tell if this is the case for it as well, but I do remember checking out the show and being uninterested in watching the second episode.

The funniest manga to me are still Grand Blue, Kaguya Wants to be Confessed To, Nichijou, Hinamatsuri, Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro, Jitsu Wa Watashi Wa (that one is very retort-based actually) and I'm probably forgetting some more. Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun was pretty funny because of the outrageous misunderstandings that kept piling on top of each other. Komi-san used to be great but kinda fell off a little bit. So make of that what you will.

I do think it's a shame that the spirit possession got scrapped entirely. I would have liked it more if it remained a tool in their arsenal, rather than being completely overshadowed by Oversoul. I think there were a couple of chapters where an enemy disabled everyone's Oversoul abilities, and Yoh had to be possessed by Amidamaru again for the first time since volume 3 or so.

Shaman King was my first too! I really loved the art style and the flashiness of it all.

Ruri Dragon was such a shame. Had to do with the author's health, right?

Oh yeah, Psyren for sure. I really wish it got the time to reach a proper buildup to a satisfying conclusion, rather than that rushed ending that it got.

I'm surprised to see Denji thinking about his situation to the point of coming to the conclusion to stop becoming Chainsaw Man. I'm also very interested to see what exactly the deal is with this copycat.

I think it's literally just Rivers Cuomo trying to write good pop tunes and failing

What was the controversy with Asura Scans?

I really want to know more about the organization that Yoshida is part of.

Their dynamic sure has changed from what it was in the beginning to a mutually supportive one. ...which is seriously starting to feel like they've straight up discarded the original premise 🤔

Yep, that sure was wild as usual. That Avengers-style team pose at the end feels deserved.

Wat een hartverwarmend verhaal.

I know I know, I have a personal distaste for them. I'm just a little tired of seeing that "tsun-derederederederederederederedere girl" doing nothing of consequence for years.

I'm hoping there will be a bigger focus on discussions of new chapters. Personally I'd love a rule where each 'chapter' that is posted must be at least, say, 5 pages, because I'm tired of those 2-page Twitter comics. I'm hoping that would be enough to prevent at least some of horniness.

Ik kan me prima voorstellen dat Reddit het huidige plan van aanpak heeft uitgestippeld als de meest winstgevende. Wellicht een miscalculatie (hopelijk), maar als dat is wat ze geloven zijn hun keuzes compleet begrijpelijk. Ik hoef er alleen geen deel van uit te maken.

Ik begon jaren geleden op Reddit om nieuws te lezen over een aantal indie-games. Later gebruikte ik het ook om nieuwe manga-hoofdstukken binnen te krijgen en om mee te praten over nieuwe muziek op indieheads. En toen ging ik langzaam steeds meer de frontpage scrollen wanneer ik me verveelde... En boem, daar is de nare doomscroll-gewoonte.

Ik kan de CEO niet eens geheel ongelijk geven - zijn keuzes zijn rationeel, gegeven het feit dat bedrijven per definitie gelijk zijn aan winst-maximaliserende sociopaten. Maar met de nieuwe veranderingen beginnen de nadelen van Reddit de voordelen te overschaduwen, en dat is een prima reden om die verslaving eens af te leren.

If you've ever seen that "This is my hole" meme, the story Enigma of Amigata Fault is where that originated from. A personal favorite of mine is Long Dream. And a longer series of overarching stories called Uzumaki is great as well.

God, I don't hate Seto for being a wimp. But I hate him for straight to ignoring Anna's attempts at communicating honestly and expressing her love. I didn't mind this behavior from chapter 50 Seto, but it's just sad to see it from chapter 150 Seto.

That's excellent news! Really enjoyed Attracting Attention.

Not gonna lie, there's too much going on in this arc and I'm kinda over it. Oh well, that's kind of how these drawn-out all-out final battle arcs tend to go.

One of my favorite tracks from that record!

I really wish I still enjoyed Nagatoro, but it really feels like the two main characters are completely different people now. I enjoy character development as much as the next guy, but they really strayed pretty far away from the original premise.

It's pretty in character for Genos to info dump :P

Definitely can't go wrong with One Punch Man and Chainsawman!

Mhmm I much prefer to read new chapters when they release so I get to enjoy the 'huh I wonder what will happen next' each time.

I do like to accumulate new Kusuriya no Hitorigoto chapters for a couple of months before I catch up. I always forget what was going on before if I read it release-to-release.
