There's a lot of light novels to adapt, so they've only got themselves to blame for spending so many episodes on the wizard olympics.

Are there? I was under the impression most LNs were really bad? Are they even popular there, are they like comparable to lovely genre novels here? I know there's not much point in reading them in translation because they're badly written as-is, and then the translation makes it even worse

I guess it depends, since if you're talking about otaku then it's a decent-sized hit by those standards, but there have been other recent hits that have performed better.

Now, mainstream? Haha nope.

Yeah but all original animes are considered to be maladjusted nerd poo poo by the mainstream right? This isn't news

I'm sure there's a subset of shut-in nerds who would prefer their women clad head to foot in kimono, their feet bound so they can only take tiny steps.

The Japanese (and Koreans IIRC) never bound feet, that was exclusively a Chinese thing. :eng101: I feel like the author would be pretty obsessed with that fact considering his opinion of the Chinese in general.

I can't really judge that too harshly. After all, for like a year I avidly played an mmo with anime running on a second monitor. When you barely pay attention, you can end up watching some awful stuff. Though really, 'avidly playing an mmo while also watching anime' is a pretty harsh thing to admit to all on its own.

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem
