And I'm curious who and what you predicted about the bad guy. It's obvious to me since I already read the story, but beyond what's already been revealed I would be surprised if anyone not familiar with the series had predicted much, even with the additional bit of foreshadowing that wasn't in the books.

Also I just watched the first episode of redhead harem party tutor anime quintuplets. Can't remember the japanese name.
Pretty cute all told

I'm actually really loving Kaguya. It's got the Hayate-esque narrator (except with less fourth-wall breaking), and a weirdly high animation budget for a slice of life- although I guess that's all money they seem to save on backgrounds, 'cos it mostly happens in the one room.

While I'm on it- Winter Anime Crunchyroll Go-
(I mention crunchyroll only because I haven't been able to see Dororo)

Mob Psycho II - More of the goodness. It'll tide me over until OPM2 comes out. Things seem to get a little bit more dangerous for him, which is cool.
Neverland- Thriller/horror. quite pretty, good shock value, but it's not subtle. Gets predictable pretty quickly, but who knows.
Black Clover - It's still going. I pushed through the first 20 episodes and so now it's gone through tolerable and up to good, so I guess I'll keep watching.
Boogiepop prequel-  I'm watching them one chapter at a time, but the first chapter was awesome. Spoopy Monogatari vibes.
Shield Hero- Awesome start, but ehhhh..

So yeah, I could write a whole paragraph on Shield Hero's disappointment. It started with a reasonably bleak premise "Protagonist gets screwed over". Dude is poor, unknowledgeable and unable to trust anyone. Which was the perfect setup for something log-horizon-esque. He finds out some interesting things about the game world and the races which dwell within it. Also, he's the only one who read it in a book instead of playing it in a video game so he doesn't have a bundle of preconceptions about the way things 'should' work.

But those expectations quickly went out the window as it turned into a typical isekai. No twists of imagination or intelligent management of a fantasy system - instead he starts lucking out and gains friends he can rely on, the 'bad guy' quickly becomes overtly obvious, both in who it'll be and how it'll happen.
That aside it is actually a great isekai, I think I just had my expectations raised by the Re-zero-esque start and now things are just starting to get too formulaic.

To be fair it probably was spam. Games got a lotta chaff.

Or just give her the recipe so you don't have to cook it :p

Honestly this. She might remember she said that and is changing it up. Maybe she sees your suffering and thinks having a nice night having your favourite dish might perk you up a little.

Can’t hurt to look at it optimistically. It’s unlikely that one Taco recipe is the thing she needs before she runs away to start a new life for herself.

But yeah, have had similar experiences with housemates. Essentially I just put my foot down, went “Hey I’m gonna cut the chicken, but you need to cut the vegetables”. Even on a mince taco, best thing is to share the load, rather than delegate it all away. ‘Course, that requires knives, boards, and counter space for two.

Just saw that my regular store (Yes, I do live in Brisbane) is now going to be a Warhammer World-lite.

Interesting stuff actually as they recently had a change in management followed by the new manager being somewhat abrasive, if not incompetent, and a large number of the regulars all leaving. I'm wondering if this announcement was financially motivated.


Also why they didn't just plonk it on the west coast of America, but hey.

Wisconsin is the Canada of America

i thought Minnesota was the Canada of America.
