I'll post stuff to it to test it out

I managed to get a copy of limited edition Young Magazine USA. There were surprisingly few left so I'm glad I didn't wait until later to go get it 😅. Now that I got my hands on it, man! The feeling of flipping through a manga magazine takes me back. It really doesn't compare checking Manga Plus on Sundays to read Weekly Shonen Jump. Guess it's my age showing but I rather get something physical to read that just looking on my phone. Hopefully Kodansha continues to release them. #Mangastr

Now just to gush even further. It's been years. YEARS!! Since Mars has been in the manga. And now he's finally back 😭😭😭😭. Plus with the final Shinning General!!!! Who also has the Earth Spirit!!! Just the cherry on top. This does present a common problem with some stories. If the main character isn't tangential related to the plot we'll never see what happens. Because it does feel like a lot happened in the Diamond Kingdom especially when last we heard of them, They were almost conquered by the Spade Kingdom. Hopefully we get a light novel post series that tells the tale of what happened.

Another great batch of chapters for Black Clover. I was a bit worried after the last batch where it kinda felt like the arc was going to be extended for more plot development but gladly that's not the case. You really get a sense of finality with these chapters that's has been sorely missing since judgement day started. This is a clear telegraph that "Yes the series is ending soon. Get ready to go out with a bang!" Now there's just dealing with Adramelch size plot thread and then it's smooth sailing until the crowning of the next Wizard king. Which might be another problem because as of right now I don't know why the citizens of Clover would pick Asta over Yuno. #Mangastr

On second thought. I heard Repent Bitch instead of Repent Mother Fucker and it kinda killed my will to watch the new season 😅

The next Kai-Sei book is out and it's kinda of a slower paced series. While Godzilla feels like a summer blockbuster with the action packed American G-Force hunting Kaijus, Deadzone invokes a survival television drama (The Kaiju of Us 😂). Traveling through a post Godzilla wasteland feels like a good idea and it could open up more world building with the G-Mutants. However the overall pacing of issue one feels like this series might be a better read through trades than monthly. I'll give it until issue 3 before I make my decision wouldn't want to act to hastily especially since issue two has the catchy tagline "Meet the church of Godzilla!" #Comicstr

Decided to rewatch Panty and Stocking before watching the new season. I'm surprised how well it still holds up. The humor feels quintessential Adult Swim. Probably because I watched it dub but since the show is inspired by American Adult Animation it just feels appropriate to watch it with English voices. Another surprising thing was the amount of 3D CG used in the show. The scenes felt so nostalgic! I wonder why this style of CG died out as it does come off jarring and naturally complements the art style. Maybe it's because it resembles PlayStation 2 cutscenes and we're long past that 🤔. Now on the the New season! #Animestr

Until Dawn is a pretty good time loop horror. The kills were great and I like the overall structure of the film it did a good job keeping the tension going without any periods of boredom. Some of the characters didn't work for me and while I loved the camera scene there should have been another scene in the loop when it gets used before this. My second favorite of the PlayStation Productions so far. #Filmstr

These are probably the funniest string of pages I've read in a while. Chainsaw Man part 2 is so enjoyable. I do wonder while America is a symbol of freedom of freedom given the horror stories people tell when at war with us or how we're often used as a deterrent, why isn't there an America Devil? Is the fear for America not reached a certain point to become a devil or is Yoru going to be representing it like a Lady Liberty or Columbia type figure? #mangastr

This is probably the weakest Gamescom Opening Night Live. The selection of games trailers just felt sort of the same with nothing really internet breaking as Geoff hyped it to be. It was nice to get updates on Silent Hill F , Yotei and Resident Evil but the rest of the show felt like a slog to watch. These were the games that peaked my interest enough to write them down to remember to purchase. Honorable mention to LEGO Batman looking cool but I think I've played enough Batman games that I'm taking a sabbatical from them. #Gamescom2025
