i finished the show this morning

i liked her arc about trying to compete with aoi and failing to get one over on her, i thought it was an effective device for a lot of what the series has to say about our place in society and self-improvement. she's a good character, i think, her comic bits are just kind of weird and gross. is her manga easy to pick up if you've only seen the first season and haven't read the novels?

i think the manga touches on some stuff from the novels but i read it without having read them and followed it fine

Great Pretender is fine if you like those kinds of stories, but if you don't then it can get insufferable very fast.

Spoilers for Srice's sake.

It's a mix of heist and con artists in the vein of the Oceans movies or the Now You See Me films. Lots of sleight of hand, fakeouts and reveals of cons within cons where what you see isn't always what is actually happening. It can get very convoluted even if the gigs they pull off do make sense in the end, but I think how well you vibe with the show depends on your tolerance for frequent "aha, it was actually this!"-type reveals. It wore thin pretty fast for me, but if youre into conman stories then have at it.

If I never had to mark/comment on another essay in my life that would be great. Yes I get a 2 week “vacation” where the vacation is “I get to work without being interrupted.”

The bright side is in another year or two my workload starts to reduce when I’ve got the process down a bit more.

It seems FMP is getting a new novel. Can't say I saw that one coming. Apparently takes place 20 years after the end of the original series.

Here's the 1st volume cover.

Aww man, this gets my hopes up again for a final season. All the original LNs got official translations so I've been thinking of picking them up, but maybe I can wait just a little bit longer. I definitely wasn't expecting IV when that was announced.

Isn't 20 years after the original like in 2021

Not great. I remember that it has some interesting moments here and there but it’s completely forgettable and doesn’t really add much to things. I mean, if you can get it for like, 5$ go nuts, but there’s a ton I would play before it.

personally i think its a really good idea, to gaslight oka for months about her coach still being alive, if it means she wins at tennis

So odd thing while not impossible to find Pepsi is pretty rare in Tokyo and Diet Pepsi doesn't exist. I've seen it at a few restaurants and the odd vending machine but not in lawsons, Family Mart or 7-11 {Haven't gone into New Days while on the trip). Hell Taco Bell has fountain Coke of all things

Yeah, Coke came in and dominated the market, and then you have all tbe other Japanese brands and there’s just no room for Pepsi. Why bother trying to establish yourself? You’d have to spend billions in advertising and promotions to just get a cut.

I just want some of those brands more available here dammit. I want my Pocari Sweat! There’s things that come close but nothing matches the taste.

There's a little candy bottega downtown that gets some international candy brands and drinks in occasionally and I wish they'd get some more drinks in that aren't five hundred different variations of Fanta.
