Angolmois continues to be fun. I like how while they spiced up the historical facts to make it a more exciting story (apart from anything else, the numbers of troops involved are significantly inflated), they didn’t do it enough to detract from the essential character of what happened. So, for instance, the Mongols aren’t just a horde - they have more advanced technology than Japan, more familiarity with organising their troops in large, pitched battles, and the advantages of diversity coming from having absorbed and traded with dozens of cultures.

I don't have the links but Grand Blue is an isekai story according to the creator? It's a world where you can drink before 20 and alcohol tolerance is through the roof. The roof of the top floor megastructure in BLAME!

How much wheat and rice was grown on Tsushima anyway? Apparently it is fairly infertile, but it could still generate 30000 koku a year. Hinterlands cannot subsist on fishing and trade.

The roof of the top floor megastructure in BLAME! I thought it would have been cute if they modified the huge disclaimer to say something like that instead in episode one. Like, this is an isekai, it takes place in a fantasy world where freshmen enter college at age 20.

The nationwide uniform 21 wasn't established until 1984 with the National Minimum Drinking Age Act, and it took a few years before all the states signed on to keep their highway money; some territories never have. And for a lot of the 20th century many states had lower drinking ages for just beer, beer and wine, or below a certain ABV than they did for liquor. No one is really old enough for Spirytus, though.

The_White_Crane posted:I kind of enjoyed the first episode just because I already knew poo poo was hosed up and I was looking forward to the penny-drop moment? The anime is not going to get to the point to fully explain the little girl's situation, but the series will definitely give at least some background and lend the possibility that the murderous high school may not be the least bad caretaker she's had. Most of the adults that show up in this series are some degree of terrible and/or crazy, so expect that

Started drinking a quarter of a glass of wine here and there at 12, and by the time I was 18 I found alcohol thoroughly uninteresting. But then again I'm French. Explains a lot when you see US citizen out on vacation getting absolutely poo poo faced when they reach 18, unable to understand how alcohol works in a body. On topic: I might be wrong, but isn't Japan a country that's also super restrictive to anything regarding alcohol? Or am I mixing it with another eastern country?

Japan in reality is very loose with alcohol regulations, with a majority of teens saying they've drank and carding being pretty rare. If you're 13 and your family is having some kind of party with alcohol around your dad will definitely offer you a swig, that kind of thing. But the TV regulations about it are very strict, especially at certain times of the day and on certain networks, hence the disclaimers and the weird writing around it, like how Girls und Panzer has to talk about 'non-alcoholic vodka'

Teens in Japan also don't drive nearly as often as they do in the states so underage drinking isn't a huge, huge worry yeah.

girls' last tour was the pro method of dodging regulations, by just having the characters find random bottles and misread the labels slightly

Free completes the hat trick of new coaches having their intro be creepy in some way in anime this year. Even if he didn't massage Haru's thigh In a way it almost feels like unintentional criticism of coaching in sports in general!

Bad coaches are a good sports anime tradition so I'm glad there have been multiple this year.

I don't think anime can portray/satirize anything close to the real-life horror being revealed rn at Michigan State and Ohio State, and earlier Penn State...

I wonder if manga has gone into it deeper, like a manga focusing on how some High School teams for a pitcher to burn their arms for a run at Koshien.

there's definitely stuff out there that seriously confronts some issues of sports, though i've no idea how much gets animated. battery covered bullying, pressure to succeed, and the toxicity/backbiting with competitive sports during puberty, though it was far from a perfect show (makes me wonder about the source material tbh). gurazeni was also pretty matter-of-fact about the impersonal nature of professional sports but couched it in a lighter and kinda self-deprecating tone. one outs took a similar angle as gurazeni but cranked it up to having just a straight up evil money-grubbing manager and outside of that is mostly a game theory series. major is the main series i'm curious about with this stuff since it covers an entire athletic career from childhood to the pros, which seems ripe for at least some sideplots on darker stuff.

The Persona 5 rear end in a top hat coach is literally based on a real Japanese Olympic Gold-Medalist who engaged in similar shady poo poo, right?

Tenrou: Sirius The Jaegar got off to a strong start, despite seemingly being about neither Tenrou nor Sirius. It’s built a strong world from the off and I’m excited to see where it goes. High Score Girl is a completely different kettle of fish but no less enjoyable, and as someone who hasn’t touched a game’s console since the N64 it’s a good nostalgia rush.

It does touch on that somewhat tho mostly just in an exaggerated way at the highschool level. At the pro part of the story it doesn't really come up outside of a few instances of mildly scummy management.

It's a really sweet series. The CG is a little off putting at first since it's clear the facial expressions are essentially painted on, but you get used to it. I'm also okay with them having literal ads for IRL games in the middle of an episode as a Commercial since that allows them to afford using footage from all of the video games that end up appearing. I think the series goes up to partway through middle school and maybe into high school afaict so we'll be seeing at least a few years of video game highlights across all sorts of systems. Mostly arcade fighters though of course.

SNK Playmore dropped their suit against the manga which delayed the heck outta it and no doubt wore the author out, wonder how they settled? Took a peek, does it do more than silent girl being violent, fanservice for fans of old games, and nostalgia for those of us born long enough to remember growing up with these games?

HSG spans several years and Akira does change. The first episode actually surprised me because I completely forgot her just punching out strangers.
