You dropped this: /s

Evil phase? No, it’s draw phase, standby phase, main phase 1, battle phase, main phase 2, end phase.

LOL. You’re right, if they make Massachusetts worse than Oklahoma then Oklahoma’s ranking would improve! I never thought about that. BRILLIANT!

Wow, they were insanely forgettable. Thanks for doing the detective-work!

I mean, who could Duke even be creepy towards?

Right? Poor guy. There’s no more 13 year olds at the academy. And now that two years have passed, this is how he’s going to react when he sees Alicia:

I think we are getting more and more hints that Liz is also a reincarnated person that is trying real hard to get the harem route

You just reminded me of Trapped in a Dating Sim where the reincarnated girl is trying to get the reverse harem route but screws it all up, lol. But yes, since this IS a game a reverse harem route should’ve been possible. I hadn’t considered it until now.

I hate having to explain this to people when I talk about the insane cost of healthcare in the US.

“but US healthcare is the best so of course it’s going to be the most expensive”

No, you moron. It’s the exact same procedure by equally qualified doctors using the same equipment.

In case you’re wondering why you’re getting down voted, it’s because you didn’t even offer up a valid argument and instead engaged in ad hominem, which is a logical fallacy.

I get that correlation does not necessarily mean causation, but if the richest states are almost all blue and the poorest ones almost all red, that is a very strong correlation and trying to claim it is insignificant only makes you seem the fool.

You seem to be intelligent. Ask yourself why this post made you so upset.

First of all, “all counties were red/blue” is not what “unanimous” means.

I agree with you there.

Second of all, I don’t think “ha ha your state is poor” is the grand slam argument you think it is.

Takes a lot of mental gymnastics to boil down all the listed differences as “state is poor”. Unless you mean “poor” as in “in bad shape” and not “economically suffering”. I’ll assume you mean the former as that’s the only way your argument makes sense.

I think it’s more about how a state is voting against its own interests. There is NOTHING about the Republican platform that would improve any of the listed metrics. If anything, Republican politics would only further worsen an already bad state of affairs.

And of the off chance your initial argument was entirely economic, it’s Democrats who want federal government involvement to help poor states.

This. THIS is how you do anime. What a masterpiece of an episode.

At the start of the episode, we have no reason to care about Acrobatic Silky. At the end, we care SO MUCH about Acrobatic Silky. I had goosebumps.

Other anime try and fail to tug at heartstrings. This one yanks your heart so hard it comes out your throat.

I’ll probably give it another episode or two. I remembered the helicopter thing. It’s just I feel like very little has happened. I mean, we start with him epically selling his party into slavery and then Alma shows up being a total badass and NOT being a Mecha-Ude, and then… oh no, drugs and gangs and slavery…

If anything, the fact the girl was still holding on to the helicopter even after the whole Mayor incident is interesting. Assuming it’s not bad writing just for added heartstrings, it means the girl wasn’t actually upset with him as she was cherishing it enough for some random thug to realize its significance.

You’re going to need to pick the hair out of your teeth afterwards.

The fact that it took you so long to figure that out just shows how forgettable the storytelling in this series is. It was a whole thing in episode 4 (which in my brain is episode 1 or 2). I’m honestly starting to get bored out of my mind with the storytelling. I might honestly drop this one.

Well, Bilac specifically requested Crystal Scorpion parts. And we saw Vysache use monster parts Sunraku had to make his moon blades. OH SNAPS! Another moon reference!

Plus this is SLF not some TRASH GAME where the monsters don’t drop the quest items unless you pick up the quest first!

Alicia does not appear at all until the last 15 seconds of this episode. By then two years have passed since she started her training. She even stayed locked up during her 15th birthday when her father said she could attend the academy again. I feel there’s only one possible reason for this: she trained until she was level 100, maybe 100+.

Gill says it during the episode, that Alicia trains every day to narrow the gap between her and Liz as much as possible but that she doesn’t believe she can surpass Liz. Gill is also surprised that Alicia didn’t complete her training to level 90 sooner. Remember that Alicia stated in a previous episode that Liz and the prince are characters in the game that can surpass level 100 so I believe that to close the gap as much as possible she went straight for level 100 herself.

We also get further confirmation that Liz is brainwashing people. Students who would bully and antagonize Liz are now in love with Liz and badmouthing Alicia.

These two conquerable background characters whose names I TOTALLY remember are also starting to become relevant. Up to this point they hadn’t deviated in behavior from the game. They also didn’t seem to be under Liz’ spell, which was a little odd. After all, other characters like Albert, Alan and Henry were under Liz’s spell, even if Henry managed to break out of it. Makes me think that they were flying under the radar for unknown reasons.

Anyway, even with all this, not much has changed other than the fact it’s now two years later. Speaking of characters I totally remember, who is this Mel character Duke talks with at the end of the episode?

I actually really love Birdie Wing.

I did a cursory search and it seems the user deleted their account.

Holy shit… “How do I get through to her that she’s overreacting?” No, if you think she’s overreacting then you 100% deserve what you got.

Guess people will always like to stick their heads in the ground like a freaking ostrich.

We were so spoiled the particular season this aired. I remember this and Oshi No Ko were airing at the same time. I agree that the reason there’s no season 2 announcement is because they lack the material. Season 1, by all accounts, did great.

I’m also convinced we’re watching two distinct timelines, so looking forward to that shocking reveal.

This tracks pretty hard.

After hearing about how big a flop the Borderlands movie was, I decided to watch it.

It was so abysmally bad I took psychic damage. Days latter I’m still wondering how anyone could have made those script decisions unless they were actively sabotaging the project.

I was unable to sleep one night so I starting making a YouTube video about how terrible the movie was. I’d say I’m at level 53.

No he fucking didn’t. People voted for Trump specifically. If Trump isn’t running, the political map will be quite different.
