Netflix's subtitles for Uma Musume season 1 are sometimes a bit aggressive about using atashi in some cases where I'm 99% sure the seiyuu says watashi
Pretty odd, Netflix is usually extremely accurate and this feels intentional, wonder what went on here

lmao El Condor Pasa misspells her own name (or forgets that horse names are written in katakana, which would also be pretty bad)
I love how much personality there is in this dumb letter

Always appreciate it when a character reassures me for understanding absolutely NOTHING someone is saying. Thank you, Special Week

My Twitter accounts were suspended last night, apparently part of a ban wave targeting people who use third-party clients?
Figured it was probably worth leaving a note somewhere about this
It's a real shame how much the JP online community is so attached to that single platform

I've listened to Ryouran Victory Road like ~30 times before watching the Nijigisaki anime - I can't believe Setsuna fit "anime ni game ga daisuki" into her section of the song, but she only spends like 20 seconds in ALL of the first season talking about either anime or games

Nijigisaki's Kasumi feels EXTREMELY inspired by Maekawa Miku (much more so than someone like Niko)
And I'm very okay with that

Rina's Nijigisaki episode is pretty good
It's too bad that everyone who watched it would've known about her gimmick beforehand. It could've been a fun reveal, but even if you somehow didn't know anything about her character going in, the OP totally spoils it

I really like all the ways Nijigisaki diverges from earlier Love Lives, the president not having a contrived opposition to idols is a nice change of pace
But I wish they'd gone with fewer than 9 characters instead of more than 9, LL already felt too crowded too often

Rojica to Rakkasei vol 2 does not disappoint

Cover Debut! - Phantom Invasion, Vol. 2

The Queen of Magic has crossed into the human domain and instigated a massacre with the intention of claiming Ryou for herself. To stop the invasion, Ryou appeals to the Queen of Dragons, but her reply is the last he expects!

Finished Tsurezure Biyori, I wish there were more than 3 volumes. Very simple premise done very well
The combination of detailed backgrounds with cute, silly characters is really fun

Made my second, third, and fourth ever fonts on a font-making binge today~ (Ignore the kerning 🙈)
They're for a subtitled SFX series, so they'll look more fitting with the art, I promise!

Just finished the first volume of Rojica to Rakkasei, what a wild ride
Feels EXTREMELY inspired by Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou, but with more comedy instead of iyashikei, even darker undertones, and even more surreal

Interesting little pi from Kimi to Tsuzuru Utakata vol 1

Finally finished Hugtto Precure. An uneven show, but the highs are very high, and it's surprisingly thematically cohesive. Raising a baby, exploring what they want to be when they grow up, and fighting bad guys who want to stop time, it all kind of ties together

I like how much this artist likes wood grain

More nice backgrounds from Tsurezure Biyori vol 2
Very detailed and precise line art, nice use of hashing instead of halftone gradients, and not based on some stock 3D model (or at least not conspicuously so)

If I had a nickel for every manga I've seen use this exact plaid pattern, I'd have like 45 cents

Words cannot express how crazy and overwhelming the crossover/anniversary episodes of Hugtto Precure are to someone who's never seen a single episode before this series
This cut (cuts?) is an INSANE feat of storyboarding and animation, and I can name exactly one character in it

I was curious about this and whipped up a quick spreadsheet for my series with easy data. Using averages for each series, so each is represented equally.
Though there's a lot of variance, the average "line count" for the manga I've lettered is 1408!

Wow, Arai Satomi is REALLY good as Bishin in Hugtto Precure. I don't think I've ever heard her play a villain before. She's basically synonymous with Kuroko from Railgun to me, plus some (other) comic relief characters here and there

Just read the first volume of Tsurezure Biyori. I am amazed and confused by how much the art changes between like ch 1-2 and 5-6
Backgrounds are absolutely incomparable, and the character art feels noticeably more clear and refined
Also I love the wood grain on the bowl

I guess Toei has a lot of experience at this after all these years, but I'm very impressed by the way they adapt early 2000's character designs for a modern anime. Nagisa and Honoka look just a tiny bit out of place, they struck a great balance between old and new
