Great to see a scanlator actually on the fediverse! I did a double take when I got to the credits page and realized it was your username as well.
I mentioned it in the comments over at ani.social (as well as a lot of lore), but thought it was worth mentioning here as well that Kadokawa posted this version of the season 1 OP to their official youtube channel in which all the characters are played by crowbars (バール or bar in the credits).
It doesn't look like it. Holo, the project that shinobu is forked from, sometimes has a hard time with certain shows. It works by parsing the sites of all the different streaming providers and a public torrent tracker to look for new episodes that are released. So, if a site changes its layout a little bit or if torrents are named in a way that it isn't expecting, it just won't pick up those episodes at all. I think if you were to redesign holo from the ground up today, you would probably use the AniList api instead of parsing all these things, but holo predates the api iirc.
Edit to add here that I think the reddit mods that use holo for the subreddit must do a lot of manual interventions or have codebase changes that are not pushed to the github. I have run a personal instance of holo for a while connected to a testing lemmy instance I spun up and its behavior exactly matches shinobu. So, the fact that holo does post threads for shows like JJK to the subreddit means that it has either been done/scheduled manually or they are running a modified version.
This past week during the holiday I managed to catch up on several shows that I had fallen behind on.
Finally, I had some time to start Zombie Land Saga season 2. They wasted no time picking right back up where things left off. There was a bit that happened off screen between seasons, but it isn't too jarring. The bright spot for me in this show continues to be the voice work of Mamoru Miyano who plays the primary male character Kotaro. You might recognize his voice from some of his other roles such as Light Yagami (Death Note), Okabe Rintaro (Steins;Gate), or Pandora's Actor (Overlord). I am only two episodes into the second season and looking forward to the next chance I get to watch more.
I have previously written about some of the issues I had with Suzume. I think it is a visually stunning movie. I just wish it was better written.
As for Usagi Drop, I really enjoyed the anime and looked up the source. However, when I looked it up, pretty much all I found was threads warning or memeing about it. So, I looked up the synopsis and realized that I was fine with just the anime.
No idea past the previous posts to twitter. The situation is likely still unfolding. I wouldn't be surprised if delays like this one continue. That is what has happened for past shows like Zom 100 and Nier. The delays start as a day or two and then get extended to a longer hiatus once they run out of booked timeslots for the broadcast season.
Just wanted to swing by and give an update that there is now a 1 day delay for the next episode making its way to streaming services.
Thanks for the information. I was trying to find out if this was the last chapter or not since it wasn't marked as the end in Mangadex. I am guessing that it isn't marked in MD because they expect these extras to be released yet.
Here is an article about it. Basically a giant corporation is doing giant corporation things and driving the animators to work on unreasonable timelines with a ton of extra crunch. There has been some recent pushback against Mappa in the past week or two from others in the industry.
