Funny enough, this is the first thing to come to my mind too. It's a nice little song for an otherwise quite unremarkable show.

Now that you mention it, I kind of smell a distubring possibility of a Kyokou Suiri S1 happening to this show's pacing as well. To those unaware, the show is a very similar supernatural detective show, one which started strong with two episodic plots and then squandered ten whole episodes on one mystery at an absolutely glacial pace. S2 was paced massively better with the longest mysteries being at most 4 episodes (and this time having an amount of twists actually justifying the length), feeling a lot better.

I really really hope this show wraps up the case quickly in the next episode and then throws in something new, but I have a fear it may also be heading towards a "season finale" case taking up half the season (perhaps with one shorter case in between for padding), and if that's going to happen with the pacing we're currently seeing, that is going to be a painful watch. I hate to be pessimistic about the show because I had such a good first impression of it and am really liking the concept and characters so far.

Perhaps because people aren't going around calling others "males" to demean them?

These are not difficult concepts if you turn on your brain.

No one says “women soldiers” except maybe a civilian.

And I'm not telling you to, stop putting words in my mouth. Female as an adjective is fine, "female soldier" is fine, calling a group of human women "females", as in a noun, is demeaning and incel lingo.

Female/male are used in English as adjectives when describing humans, but as nouns they only refer to animals. "She is a woman" and "She is a female actress" are both okay but calling women "females" is purposefully demeaning and sexist. I do not believe there is any regional difference in this, nor should we really care about such since there are no regions when we're on a global forum.

I'm from a country with mandatory conscription for men, so yes, I've been in the military and I've seen the misogyny (among countless other varieties of bigotry) rampant in that system from front row seats. We had a handful of female volunteer conscripts, as well as one of my NCOs was a woman, and it was blatantly obvious they were not recieving the same treatment as the majority of us who were men (and not in a good way, if there was any room for confusion).

Experiences like that are among the key reasons I'm not happy to see people keep perpetuating that kind of behavior, especially in other traditionally male-centric contexts like the IT industry and even here on this forum.

While true, there are some languages that are the wrong tool for every job. JS is one of them. I've dreamt of a future where web frontends switched to something sane but instead we got stuff like typescript which is like trying to erect steel beams in quicksand. For web frontends I can understand that historical reasons have lead to this but whoever came up with node thinking JS would be a great backend language has a lot of explaining to do.

They've since updated it to allow you to display labels & not condense multiple windows into one button so it's better than ever. I can't believe it took until 11 to center the items, left aligning was a literal pain in the neck especially on ultrawide screens.

Which is exactly why you shouldn't be using them in a situation that clearly calls for a switch.
