New episode of Strange/Fake was fun. They used the dark to really highlight the abilities and it's clear where the budget went. Can't wait the next three episodes

Daigoro suffering continues in shin lone wolf. This time he got bit by a dog that he was treating and went crying back to train with the sword but the dog died anyway.
I hope there aren't more Russian ninjas, they are very boring. There was also a russian woman who was almost magical and could hypnotize people with her eyes.
Lone wolf was never very realistic but these last volumes they kinda started doing some soft supernatural stuff.
4 volumes to go

Binged a really great horror manga yesterday called 100 Ghost Stories That Will Lead To My Own Death. Basic plot is a young girl named Hina stops her classmate Yuuma from (seemingly) trying to jump out a window by telling him that if he told 100 ghost stories on 100 nights, he'd meet a real ghost. It was just meant to distract him, but as he keeps telling stories, things get increasingly bizarre in his home. It's an anthology series as well, each chapter starts and ends with Yuuma in his room, and between these segments is a horror story. I won't give away more, but the ending floored me.
The stories themselves are consistently pretty good, some aren't even paranormal and a few are even sci-fi for some reason, but they're great for the most part. The art can be funky too, proportions are strange and as the manga goes on, Yuuma himself sort of distorts, but it's not meant to be because of something paranormal. I think it's still worth reading through, though, I read the entire thing in a day.

BYW just in case there are any Fable readers here the 3rd ?season? started a while ago (29.3.2025) so far it has 36chapters (Weebcentral)
"It has been about two years since the battle with the formidable enemy Roomer ended and Azami and Yukari left Taihei City, and Akira and Misaki continue to live their days as usual. One day, a certain man comes to visit them."

Apparently the newest chapter of Kaigeki no Kinato had the protagonist use his healing magic to turn a lesbian knight straight, alongside making her a princess.

Saw someone whining about this and "heteronormativity" on X, from what I gathered on reading up on the plot, the girl sees herself as a "knight" and knights are supposed to protect and fall in love with "princesses", but her POV is changed when she sees someone who would actually be considered a "knight."
I could be entirely wrong as this was just summed from basic plot research.

Revolutionary Girl Utena showed off the consequences of "girl becomes a prince to save princesses" 30 years earlier, and that series is still heralded by delusional lesbians everywhere for "breaking the conditioning" (when it doesn't lmao). Still is nice to get another Japanese series telling it like it is.

Watching the new Baki season, it's done as well as can be expected in that you just can't animate what makes the manga's art special but it's the Mushashi arc so I am eating well.
It's probably the most philosophically dense arc of a very philosophical series, but to put a cap on my sperging as I could write multiple essays on this arc alone I'll say the most beautiful moment was Doppo explaining how he, like many martial artists including myself, have read The Book Of Five Rings over and over again. How he memorized it, how each time he read it throughout different points in his life and development he understood it more and in different ways. And as he lay there, defeated by the man who wrote that book, he realized he never understood a single word.
Much like when Mushashi tells Baki that he is not a warrior, or when from the moment Retsu stepped in the arena everyone knew he would die, or Motobe explaining this concept outright, this arc is so important because it confronts both the characters (who represent many different things) and the readers by telling us that we are not warriors no matter our accomplishments. Even Yujiro barely qualifies, if he does at all. You can be a UFC champ, you can be a master of 4,000 years of Kung-Fu, you can even be the strongest man on the planet, but you are not a warrior of the caliber of those before you because every time they fought someone was going to die, and every time they fought they knew that they themselves could die. It’s beyond that, death is certain for one of you no matter what. No rematches, no trying again, no training arcs after a loss, you either died or you won to fight again.
But the other point, and what Baki himself recognizes, is that in our modern era those men cannot exist anymore because their way of life is incompatible with ours. Our society cannot function with men dueling at crossroads, with men who's life is the sword they carry, or with men who have cut down so many they don't even remember the names of their most legendary opponents. We can exist with Pickle, he is the embodiment of nature and as such is a being that acts of it's own accord and is part of us we need to coexist with, but Mushashi is the embodiment of the old ways that got us here and now must be discarded for fear of the damage those brutal ways bring. He sees the glory and wonder of the modern world and can't understand that the reason those wonders are there is because people turned from his way, the hard way of steel, to the softer way, the way of the feather.
Peak manga, decent anime.

It super matters to the overall plot since it turns out the real demon king was Serie all along.

I'd believe it, something doesn't sit right about her. However, I think she may just be a jaded goddess of creation, if she's not gonna turn out to be some evil character. The goddess of creation is portrayed as an elf with wings, but since elves live forever that could just be a romanticization of her. Could be that Serie has lived so incredibly long that no one remembers her original self before she disappeared.
I haven't been able to shake that feeling entirely since season 1 and the unified dynasty mural scene. It was quick but anyone watching could see the crowner of the king was an elf with wings. The framing focuses on that detail multiple times. Maybe that was Serie.

Well the goddess created priest magic which fits with Frieren's low-level everyday magic obsession and general philosophy towards magic, and Frieren can time travel I guess, so.
Meanwhile demons explicitly embody the "pinnacle of magic" of the exact kind Serie fetishises, with total purity, so.

Yuritards are a blight on anime and manga and rightfully deserve every bit of derision they get. Every single one of them single handedly gets one shot by that CS Lewis quote... Anyway, is the story decent or is it just part of the eternal isekai mill?

A few more tweet responses.
Funny you mention that, given that show's fans are also for decrying this, saying that Utena was specifically refuting this (makes me wonder if they truly watched it).

Just finished reading Ichi the Killer since you guys were talking about it. Should have been titled Boner the Boner. There's a lot of boners.
