This frame is brilliant. The reflection in the glass is of Ruby and Aqua.

So you would need metal singing lessons instead of traditional ones.

I reccomend hopping on !chat@literature.cafe

Finally finished.

It really explores an Idea that all the people in the world are living lives just like ours. With successes, tragedies and all in between. Can't wait for season 2.

Only Two shows managed to keep me interested.

Oshi no ko season 2 - At times I was on the edge of my seat.

Dungeon People - Very nice CGDCT show with an accent on comedy.

Also I was catching up with Apothecary Diaries but still got finale to watch.

P.S Bye Bye Earth got OST released this week. The only redeeming quality of that show.
Bye Bye, Earth - Vol. 1 - The Duel - (IMO best song)
Bye Bye, Earth - Vol. 2

Can't wait for anime adaptation (in 2025 ;-;)

Witch Hat Atelier is a great manga. Maybe I should catch up with it as I have 8 unread chapters.

Caught a flu so I had a bit of time to read.

Even a Replica Can Fall in Love - interesting story with nice climax but the ending after the climax was emotionally unsatisfying. A bit confusing on how the main supernatural power works. I would think that original sunao would end up in totally different circumstances than it was portrayed in the novel.

The Magic in this Other World is Too Far Behind! vol 1-4 - After the second volume quality slowly started to drop. In the fourth volume amount of lolis reached critical amount and author chose to write a harem of lolis around MC and I don't want to read something like that. (at least he doesn't do something explicit or implicit to them.) Action scenes felt a bit too long. The plot was uninteresting. Twists and turns felt forced. I wouldn't recommend reading it.

First and Last Idol ⅓ - this is a collection of sci-fi short stories and I have only read the first one. There are some modern sci-fi tropes. The plot felt like an approach towards black hole. Reader wishes that it would stop. It doesn't stop. The technical mumbo jumbo was a bit much and reading it felt like fever dream of man made horror.

So Clay finally feels at home in the dungeon. I wonder if Clay will find her father in the final episode next week (Probably not)

Also those black uniforms totally don't give off executioner kind of vibes.

I have rewatched the murder scene again. And I am totally lost on everything that happened.

There are a lot of red herrings and I am all for it.

Ikuta no kita - underratted because it's avan-garde and my experience watching it was great. 6.39 vs my 9/10

As I have watched a bit more avan-gerde films like "mad god" and "Tetsuo: the iron man" I would not grade it the same.

Clay finally starts to ask questions about her father. There are more mysteries than answers it's seems. So the predecessor developed a goblin substitute just so that they wouldn't need surrogate mothers.
