Also, Aoi thinking to herself "Oh, I wanna talk to Hinata about that show from the other night" and then awkwardly hovering around while Hinata's talking to some other friends before getting scared and running away was enormous mood.

I'm glad the main girl is making friends but that episode of Encouragement of Climb didn't include much climbing.

Sometimes the climbing is metaphorical (climbing to maturity, adulthood, etc.)

It's pretty fun.

Last episode, Tonegawa had an office barbecue, and this week, he faced the most terrifying weapon of all.

POWER POINT!

The official Twitter account for the anime film adaptation of Fumiyo Kouno's In This Corner of the World (Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni) manga announced on Thursday that the film will get an extended version with about 30 more minutes of footage. The new version, titled Kono Sekai no (Sara ni Ikustumono) Katasumi ni (In (Several More) Corners of the This World), will begin screening in Japan in December.

The film's director Sunao Katabuchi (Black Lagoon, Mai Mai Miracle) planned the title and Kouno approved it. The concept behind the film is to give the perspective of "several more lives" in addition to Suzu's, so it has a new title to reflect the new theme. It will adapt more scenes from the manga.

The new scenes include Suzu crossing paths with Rin in the fall of 1944 and the winter and spring of 1945. Rin features prominently in the new visual above and the video below. Another new segment will focus on the Makurazaki Typhoon of September 1945, while Suzu is worried for her younger sister Sumi.

This is strange but also super neat and I'll gladly see this again, the scene with Rin in the regular version was sweet

I'm still kicking myself for missing out when the film was on screens, so it's great I'll have hopefully the chance to actually watch it.

No, when Nextflix licenses seasonal anime, there's usually a delay on them before they are officially released, anwhere from a couple of months to over half a year. It blows.

high score girl is so much better than i thought it would be

it's pleasant to watch and the art style works really well, which is emphasised by ono (the titular girl) never speaking, so her gestures stand out a lot

i also really like the theme for the end credits (ED? what does that stand for?) particularly the electric guitar

definitely a hidden gem, i was not expecting to like it as much as i do

The year is Meiji 40 (1907). Summer. Inako Momokawa, living in Kyoto's Fushimi, spends her every day unable to do anything well, constantly scolded by her father. Her single source of comfort is that she continues to pray devoutly to Buddha. One day, as she brings her hands together in prayer like she'd done so many times before, she meets a rowdy, uncontrollable boy named Kihachi Sakamoto, who shouts at her, "Can't believe in somethin' you can't see!" He rejects Buddha and instead boasts about the electrical age to come.

At the same time, Inako is suddenly confronted with talks of her marriage. Although up against her father's one-sided decision, Inako resigns herself to it, thinking she isn't worth anything more than that. Kihachi inspires the girl to take charge of her life and run away, and the two escape the house she was locked up in for so long.

The only way for her to stop the marriage is to find the one-of-a-kind "Electric Catalog." It was a prophetic document Kihachi wrote when he was but a child and was taken by Seiroku, his brother, before going missing. Both Kihachi and Inako will search for the Electric Catalog while escaping all over the Kyoto and Shiga regions.

The missing Electric Catalog. As for the secrets hidden in it..." and the caption for it "Would you die with me and take me to the Pure Land?

All arranged marriage stories I've read in manga have been "but she falls for him anyway and it's all happy and they definitely have children, please have children, we get tax writeoffs for adding this".

My timeline flooded with it, still does with every related piece of news. Sugita Mio is a bowl of nutmeg, "Gays will ruin Japanese society" was another headline from days ago but everybody were like no your folks clearly dont need anyones help with that if we look at the past 50 years. She's probably all for the solar farm nightmare proposed for building in Izu too.

I've read arranged marriage stories but they're all historical and explicitly about how people from different social strata in the past could find happiness and love with its various ups and downs.

Oh yeah ive seen historical ones like that buy if they were talking about modern political problems i assumed they meant modern stories

I guess early 1900s is historical top but its closer to modern than the arranged marriage stuff ive seej and if anything the contrast between historical and modern societal views wrt arranged marriave feels like an intentional point given the crossover period its set in
