Atelier Ryza – First Impressions

by 2 Comments
Ryza is not enjoying her time working on the farm.

As expected, we have yet another adaptation of an Atelier game. This time is, Atelier Ryza as Reisalin Stout decides she has had enough of being forced to do farming work and harvesting. With that, she wants to go on an adventure with her friends, which gets her into trouble.

Yes, this episode is two episodes long, clocking in at 48 minutes, but it’s almost how I remembered it. Sure, the animation is a step up compared to the first adaptation of an Atelier game, namely Atelier Escha & Logy.

The Enshittification of Centralized Social Platforms and Implications on the Japanese Media Fandom, or Why You should Join Mastodon/the Fediverse

by 4 Comments
This scene from Akiba Maid War describes what Twitter and Reddit is facing, a complete meltdown and enshittification, thus bringing their users down with them.

Since the mid-2010s, the Japanese media fandom, whether anime or manga, has moved away from blogs and forum communities to centralized platforms like Twitter, Reddit, Facebook and Instagram.

However, in 2023, we are paying a massive price in abandoning user-run spaces and moving everything to centralized platforms. These platform owners realized they had to make money. This is because central banks worldwide are increasing interest rates and tightening the money supply to fight inflation. As a result, these platform owners realized the venture capital funding they receive has dried up, and now they must turn a profit. In fact, no centralized social planforms ever really turn a consistent profit that can sustain themselves.

BanG Dream! It’s MyGO!!!!! – Episodes 1-2 – Anon’s Quest to Form a Girl Band

by 1 Comment
Sadly, things didn’t went well with this girls’ band.

Believe it or not, three Bang Dream It’s My Go episodes were released today. However, there is no way I can possibly review three episodes in one day. With that, I’m doing two each week, which should reduce the burden. After all, I work in the office on Thursday. After watching the first two episodes, how did the spinoff fare?

Note: I will be covering two episodes a week instead of three. It’s a bit too much. If that becomes too much for me, I’ll just cover one episode at a time. This just adds to this dismal season.

That feeling when there is hardly any CGDCT and yuri shows airing this season.

You might be wondering, where is the Summer season preview? Shouldn’t it be out by now? This summer is probably the worst anime season ever in recent years, excluding 2020, for obvious reasons. You can see why?
