I’m so worried that this adaptation is gonna be terrible, but the light novels are fantastic.

Got mine right after it released and I get the notification. As far as I remember I’ve always gotten it. But it doesn’t appear on your phone, just on the watch.

I agree that the battery life isn’t great, but that’s the only issue I have with it.

It won’t notify you when it’s getting close to dying (Why would you need that on a watch last lasts a day and a half?)

Mine vibrates and gives a notification when the battery hits 15% or something. Might be 10%. I largely get by with just charging it when I get ready in the morning. And the battery life has also gotten way better since release, some of the updates made a big difference. It’s gone from maybe getting a full workday to easily getting a day and a half now if I put it in night mode overnight.

Wear OS 4 also introduces the ability to transfer your Pixel Watch data to a new phone without a factory reset as well as a way to back up your data and settings from your Pixel Watch when you’re ready to upgrade to a new one.

Well that would have been really nice to have when I got a new phone last month. It was a huge pain to factory reset it and then set it all up again.

Idk, I’m actually really enjoying the chill slice of life vibe it’s got going on. Concerning the summons from the king, based on the next episode title I’m thinking he’s going to propose a marriage between Sei and the second prince. Which in turn will force Al and Sei to actually commit to a relationship.

Most Gundam series fit that role. Check out Iron Blooded Orphans if you want a standalone series.

God I hope this is a good adaptation. I read all 6 books this summer and absolutely loved them. So many twists and turns in this series and while I’d love to talk about them, I don’t want to risk spoiling anybody. Now we just need the two epilogue books to get licensed for a translation. I know the author’s next series (an isekai in the same world but much later in time) is being released in English in January.

If anyone is curious, this is not an isekai, it’s a fantasy action romance series.

Series description:

“My wish as champion is for you to descend the tower and be my wife.” Climbing a deadly tower, Oscar seeks the power of its master, the Witch of the Azure Moon. He hopes her incredible magic can break a curse that will kill any woman he takes for a wife. When the prince sees how beautiful Tinasha is, though, he has a better idea―since she’s surely strong enough to survive his curse, she should just marry him instead! Tinasha isn’t keen on the idea, but agrees to live with Oscar in the royal castle for a year while researching the spell placed on the prince. The witch’s pretty face hides several lifetimes of dark secrets, however―secrets that begin resurfacing…

LN Volume 1 Cover for an art comparison:

I should pick this manga up again and give it another shot, I stopped reading somewhere around chapter 17ish. I remember it being enjoyable, but it just never really hooked me.

I really enjoy this manga, I just wish we had more translated chapters and a regular release schedule. Hopefully the adaptation is halfway decent. This promo art looks promising.

Another great episode! If all the races are like this, I’ll be one happy camper. I hope they talk about locking up the tires and the repercussions of it in a later episode since Tokumaru kept doing it. I’m worried a viewer without any motorsports knowledge might be confused why the car seemed to be drifting at some points in turns after lockups. It’s a little exaggerated, but that’s fine.

And does Japanese F4 require any fuel saving? If not, the depiction of Haruka slipstreaming Tokumaru is a little off since there’s no reason to just sit there when passing if you aren’t trying to save fuel. It should have shown him getting sucked in and closing the gap, then darting out when he gets close enough. But whatever, that’s a minor gripe.

I’m loving the accurate depictions of the tracks as well. I race some of these tracks on iRacing, so it was cool to see Twin Ring Motegi in this episode and know where on track they were.

As a big fan of the light novel, I’m pretty disappointed with the entire dungeon fight. I like Ba’al’s design, but other than that it was really lackluster. The outdoor fight wasn’t near chaotic enough, and the Ba’al fight didn’t feel very dangerous. It all felt rushed, and the animation definitely isn’t helping.

In the LN, you can really tell that Angeline is in serious danger when fighting Ba’al, and she’s actually growing as a fighter during the battle. The final attack in the anime just didn’t have any impact, unfortunately.

All that said, this adaptation does really shine in the Turnera segments. The landscape shots always look great, and I loved Ange running to her dad. And really, their relationship is what the first few books are all about, so I can’t wait for more of this in the next few episodes.

Another great episode, I’m glad we finally have Stark onboard. I love the various little moments between him and Fern, like the look she was giving him when he was acting like a scoundrel. And the dragon fight was great, I wasn’t expecting the animation to go that hard but I’m so glad it did.

I’m so glad that I happened to see this show on Crunchyroll Friday night. Started it on a whim and season 2 just happened to be airing. Loving it so far, it’s got such a good vibe. I’ll probably pick up the novels soon.

According to that link, more countries use MDY in some capacity than I thought. Magenta, Red, Dark Blue, and Grey on the map are all listed as using it in the table below.

I remember in high school a friend waited until 10/10/10 to ask a girl out so he’d never forget their anniversary. I think they dated for like a month lol

I for one am shocked that this game was a disaster of a production. I don’t think anyone could have seen this coming to light.

Solid setup episode. I enjoyed the interactions with all the shopkeepers, and I’m enjoying all the details they’re throwing in, like the wood plank. But wow that kid in the train just felt like a talking plot device.

I’m starting to hit that same point, but Eminence in Shadow is a blast once you realize it’s parodying the isekai genre in the same way that Cabin in the Woods parodied horror movies.

The adaptation is fantastic btw. I’m reading the manga as well and the show has really elevated the story in my opinion. Parts in the manga that had me thinking, “huh, that’s a bit depressing” had me actually fighting back tears in the anime.

Well this was dark af. I went into this fairly blind so I didn’t know what to expect, but after that start I really hope the MC goes on a murder-fest. Seems like a lot of humans in this world deserve it.
