I think we'll be able to repair all accessible components, we just won't be able to take them (size 3+) out and switch to a new one by hand. That's how I understood that anyway.
Totally, I had the same issue with Attack on Titan as well. I understand that having a regular cast makes things easier but, as you said, once you notice it that's that. At least both series are fun enough things like this aren't enough to destroy the experience.
Over promise and under deliver is rather on point with her when it comes to socialization.
I caught up with both Nan Hao & Shang Feng and The Saga of Tanya the Evil.
There's not much to write about the former, it's fun and I'm waiting for more. As for the latter, I have some more thoughts about the series. I like Tanya over all - it's not perfect but the issues I have aren't serious enough to affect my enjoyment in any significant way. They still exist though.
Writing wise it's pretty good. The fact story is happening in a discount version of the real world started to bother me a bit but more in a "this feels a bit lazy" kind of way (even if it makes sense). The more serious problem is the amount of plot armor encasing the main cast - there were multiple instance of important characters surviving attacks that pretty much pulverize anyone else. Things like that are fine in small doses but there's a too much of it here.
I also really like the historical chapters - parts set 40 years after the war, shown from a perspective of journalists trying to figure out the less known parts of the war, specifically things related to our main character and her exploits. Seeing them stumble over military secrets, people unwilling to talk in detail and dealing with the fog of history is super interesting.
Art is great! There are some fantastic spreads of chaos and destruction and a great back and forth between the normal art and "animal cartoon" segments. This makes it all the more jarring whenever backgrounds (or even whole panels) consist of photos with some filters thrown on top of them - these parts throw any art cohesion out of the window and just look bad compared to everything else. I understand why, I'm just not a fan of how they're used.
All in all, despite some minor issues I look forward to the rest of the story. It's a fun if uneven ride and I think I prefer the anime version a little more (Aoi Yuki helps a lot in that regard).
Sorry for the wall of text, I needed to dump this stuff out of my head to function properly.
Look mom, I'm on TV a screenshot!
I've been using [DISC] as a carry on from reddit but I don't mind either way. I'll be happy to switch to whatever community decides on. Lets just put it in tag list on the sidebar when that happens.
Speaking of the sidebar - we already have shortened tags listed there. While they aren't particularly common at the moment should we also change how they're written? It would be nice if we kept things consistent. Something to think about @wjs018@ani.social.
I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt for now. We already had situations that could've turned into unnecessary drama but were resolved quickly and without issues - I expect this situation to be similar in this regard.
I'm not sure how I feel about the new girl. Sure it might help Koga but her hunt for a new star feels kind of slimy to me. I hope she'll prove me wrong and turns into an interesting addition to the cast.
I think I tried it as a wee baby child during a school trip once. Don't remember much about it (my memory is trash outside of very specific and useless topics) but it seems familiar somehow. Either way, even disasters can be fun, right?
Besides the already mentioned Usagi Drop there's also Gal Cleaning and its many sexual assault focused .x chapters after it got axed if I remember correctly - don't think many people talk about it these days.
That's why I'm waiting for more info. There will be plenty of time to give them shit if this turns out to be another active project in the pipeline.
