volumes like this truly continue to reinforce for me that Akane-banashi is one of the best manga that Shonen Jump has ever put out, it is a modern classic, i am always deeply impressed at how consistently excellent it is and i'm happy it continues to do well

The sunfish, or Mola, looks like an evolutionary joke. With its car-sized body made of jelly and a brain smaller than a walnut, this awkward, derpy giant doesn’t just survive in the world’s oceans… it thrives. But HOW? Watch our latest video to find out: kgs.link/DumbestAnimal

Movie Idea: 10th Century My Cousin Vinny. 2 men are completing a long pilgrimage and while in free city in East Frankia find themselves facing a death sentence after being accused of Arianism. Their only advocate versed in clerical law is the pilgrim’s cousin, brother DiVincenzo of Constantinople.

@hotgpod.bsky.social This is likely a decade or so away, but have you thought of how you might change the way HOTG is presented once we reach events that happened within your own living memory? Have you considered interweaving your own personal experiences with the history?

I just finished E199 of @hotgpod.bsky.social . While I am very excited to reach 1618, I absolutely live for the niche tangents this podcast goes on. They truly make me appreciate what a massive, complex and multicultural entity the HRE truly was, and not just a proto-Germany.
