It could be that your torrent program is firewalled, and unable to fully connect to all sharing peers.

If you’re using qBittorrent, to display the Status Bar, go to the menu item View > (check the box for) Status Bar

The Status Bar should appear a the bottom.

Just right of center, there should be an icon where if you hover your mouse over it, tells you your Connection Status, i.e. whether you’re connected or firewalled.

Good point.

From what I heard, the show took a couple more episodes after episode 4 where you dropped it to really start clicking.

That’s waaaaay too long in today’s competitive anime environment to hold on to viewers.

p.s. I disliked episode 1 so much that I never went back. Again, there’s too much else to watch that won’t waste my time.

Dayum, the coincidences last episode weren’t “lazy writing” after all…

The level 9 beast fight could have been most of an episode until itself, but for some reason they skimmed right through it.

I guess the director wanted to skip to the best parts of this show: Noel being conniving and sneaky.

Every time I watch the Raise wa Tanin ED, I think of you…

Woof, the holidays are upon us, and it’s unusually busy at work too, for this time of year.

That doesn’t leave me much time for watching anime, as opposed to keeping up with real life.

I’m really happy that some fellow anime-loving lemmings have stepped up to post in a good chunk of the episode threads for shows that I follow!

One show that I’m surprised doesn’t have more visible support here is Let This Grieving Soul Retire/Nageki no Bourei wa Intai shitai

Not that I actually have watched any of it, but some random comments from users here say they watch it and it’s decent-to-good.

For me, it got lost in the seasonal deluge of isekais with long names, so I never bothered to try a single episode, and at this point with my own neglected watching queue, I really don’t plan to start.

It was a killer burrito.

You did what you had to.

The final substitute die is cast, and Barou gets on the field, as the OP has shown all season…

That must have been a really low clearance header from Gagamaru right towards Shidou for him to be able to bicycle kick it like that.

And we also know that the principal, being a regalia holder, was able to sense that the Orb was in town, so why did she lie to Veltol, saying that the Orb was lost?

Adopting Hizuki would mean a merger between the clans and would be a way for her to own 2 of the 3 regalia.

Principal is definitely the most sus person we’ve met so far.

Goblin guy was cool.

His story brings to mind the Japanese tradition of adopted sons taking over the clan.

Sometimes a Japanese lord would adopt the most talented of his non-blood relation underlings as their son, which made them part of the family.

The newly adopted son would take on the family name, with all the rights and privileges of a natural born son, including the right to inherit the clan lordship.

This ensured that the clan would have competent leadership, as opposed to the unreliable quality of genetic offspring.

See Elusive Samurai to see how relying on the latter turned out (not good).

Nothing, but the US should be able to sell soybeans as well as, if not better than Brazil, or any other country.

Think about this: Fucking Brazil is now seen as a more reliable trading partner than the US.

“Violates interstate commerce, blah, blah…” Which the SCOTUS will ignore anyway.

A fabulist heading the FBI? This will be a disaster, if his other qualities shouldn’t disqualify him already…

That is an uuuuuugly mecha…

The name is also not-good-weird which brings to mind “With a name like that, it’s gotta be good!”

I guess the key is not to be afraid to leave some fields blank.

I don’t follow much romance/romcom stuff, for example, so I only nominated Raise wa Tanin Ga Ii

And I left the VA noms blank because I don’t really pay attention to them.

Also, you can fill out the form twice, if say you have 4 or 5 shows that you’d like to nominate for AOTY

Red will probably recruit a harem of the usual isekai trope anime girls to become his new ranger squad.

Japanese culture is different from Western Judeo-Christian-origin cultures.

It’s more liberal in some ways, more conservative in others.

IKR? I spent too much time weeding out stuff that I wanted to nominate, but didn’t actually show up in 2024…

Gratuitous panty shots and crotch shots in MF Ghost S2…

From just one episode picked at random:

I can picture the female characters saying “Hey, my face is up here” to the cameraman.

I had the same concerns about where this would go after Marcus, but yeah the writing and competent editing and direction has kept things entertaining, so crisis averted.

Yeah I agree, the “biggest boobs” thing focused me on Takahashi’s degeneracy, threw me off of what should have been an obvious trope of having twintails girl show up.

Which was good.
