Glad to see Hikaru has some new bodyguards, but they don't seem all that more helpful than what he already had in terms of... anything tbh.
I hadn't really thought about it, but if the Mecha-ude can't normally move without a human it's extremely unclear how they ever lasted in their own world.
These multi-chapter fights don't really do it for me. It's not what I read One-Punch Man for.
Sometimes those model kits actually just won't stay together without a bit of glue.
Well, that certainly was one of the endings of all time. Aqua decided ages ago that he'd take revenge on Ai's killer no matter the cost to himself. I don't know how many people expected him to actually get himself killed doing it, especially after the movie seemed like it would be revenge enough, but here we are.
Mecha-Ude
This one is weird to me. When it's trying to be funny or charming I think it almost always succeeds. When it's trying to be cool or edgy (most of the time unfortunately) it almost always fails.
Cool, thanks for the review!
Fun fact: in addition to the meaning we usually see (underestimate), nameru/舐める can also mean "to lick or taste". So the title can translate to either "Don't underestimate bread" or "Don't taste bread".
It can also mean "to burn", but I don't think it works in the sense of burning food. I think it's probably more like "to scorch". I can't seem to find any examples of it being used this way, so I'll hold off on whether "Don't burn bread" is also a valid translation.
Sailor Moon
I finished the Sailor Moon manga last week. It was pretty good! Between the manga and the TV show I'd say I prefer the manga more. The TV show had a lot of filler, and the filler gave lots of opportunities to flesh out the characters of Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus especially, but it was a much better time experiencing the story at a sane pace instead of waiting dozens of episodes at a time for something to finally happen. The final arc especially was much better this way.
Char's Daily Life
I'm nearly done with the second volume of this one. It's a goofy AU where Char and other Zeon characters, primarily from UC Gundam's One-Year-War, are living in modern-day Japan. Char has amnesia and is just trying to get by. It actually ended up feeling a lot like Gintama, but not quite as cleverly written as Gintama. Still a fun read, and well worth having bought for the cover art alone.
I'm curious to hear peoples' overall impressions of this show; I was considering picking it up. Has it been good so far?
I had no idea this was getting an anime! Something to look forward to with the new year I guess.
I know Aqua said from the very beginning that he intended to get revenge no matter the cost to himself, but it's still a little surprising to see it end like this.
I wonder if syosetu.com has a character limit on light novel titles. This is getting out of control.
