At least once Zom 100 finally released its episodes they were good. I have hope that it'll be a solid episode.

It sucks that we don’t get to see Amuro at all

I agree. Maybe they didn't want to tie down his character to a specific destiny here in case they do future stuff in this universe.

Weren't PS2 and Xbox also much more powerful hardware?

IIRC the manga ended suddenly like that because the mangaka had health issues. This means that this probably wasn't the ending the mangaka was hoping for either, so maybe there's hope for an anime-original ending - even perhaps one with significant input from the mangaka. A guy can dream.

Well sure, if it's just anime boys shouting murder at each other you don't need to know much. Honestly you could probably get the gist of an episode of generic isekai slop while knowing literally no Japanese words at all. I'm not sure that's a useful metric though.

If it's any comfort to you I picked up the Futari Solo Camp manga for similar reasons and after not even being able to finish the first chapter I can say with some confidence you can skip this one.

Edit: I just realized we already had this conversation 6 months ago. Whoops!

However, knowing Nakamura, it will probably be something badshit again

I hadn't really considered it, but you're right. There's no reason Naddy's mom would be off the table other than maybe having too much overlap with Yaku. I'm still guessing it'll be her sister though, and that the aforementioned sister was also the ninja we saw at the end.

This week I finished watching Kill la Kill. It was a lot of fun. Absolutely wild ride. Still, I can't help but think that Tengen Toppen Gurren Lagann executes a similar concept better. I loved Kiryuuin Satsuki though. What a great character.

For this summer I think Dandadan Season 2 and City are the most obvious contenders. I'll also definitely be taking a look at Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu (rough translation: The Summer where Hikaru Died). It's not that I'm particularly interested in the concept, but the manga is well-reviewed and Cygames has been absolutely killing it lately so I have a certain level of confidence in their ability to execute now.

Edit: During my lunch break today I finished Super Cub. I liked the music, but I found the characters very boring. They literally introduced the main character by having her monologue to herself about how boring she is. I feel like Yuru Camp did basically the same thing better, though maybe I'd feel differently about it if I cared about motorized scooters at all.

Also, wasn't the Witch Hat Atelier anime supposed to drop this summer? Do we just not have an exact date yet? That'll be a must-watch to me.

Thanks so much for that! I don't care about 95% of the differences between piefed and lemmy, but that 5% is inline spoilers and since having signed up for an account here I've discovered I care about that a lot.

Funnily enough Hatoful Boyfriend has a Linux release. When I try playing that in Japanese though I get a weird issue with fonts not showing up even though I'm pretty sure I have the correct fonts installed. Maybe it's some weird containerization thing that keeps the game from seeing the font. When I try playing the Windows release it just doesn't launch... is what I was going to say but I just tried it with Proton Experimental and it seems to work perfectly now. Problem solved I guess?

p.s. - Nvidia, partners old gaming laptop

My condolences.

I'd love to see more G Gundam but it's hard to imagine them actually doing that. They released a new novel though so maybe...

I just want my HG Nether Gundam kit. Is that too much to ask?! Maybe a HG Cobra Gundam too, and a RG Nobell Gundam to match RG God Gundam?

Really? The only one I've had issues with is Persona 5, and even then I was able to get it working. Which GPU are you using?

Edit: now that I think about it I did have some trouble with Hatoful Boyfriend.
