At least it wasn’t mayo or soy sauce.

Someday I hope to see an isekai that acts to humble the audience instead of cheerleading Earth culture. Imagine a Japanese high schooler MC waking up, ready to wow the world with Japanese cuisine, smartphone technology, and knowledge of modern medicine... only to realize:

• Most people are vegan and think MC is a monster for wanting to enslave and eat people (e.g. industrial farm cattle)
• Earth technology is inefficient and wasteful.
• 21st century medicine is their equivalent of bloodletting

I am sure it would not sit well with test audiences since no one likes being told their culture is bad, but even Earth cultures are incompatible across sufficient geographic distances and spans of history.

I actually hope he stays for the drama and character growth.

Without Carlo’s guidance, what will Dahlia do?

I also was thinking the same thing with the “trying to run from the oncoming rainstorm” metaphor for “You cannot run from the inevitability of death”. Dahliaʼs sudden desire to create raincoats felt like foreboding that she will want to create immortality-granting magic tools to help people like her father outrun mortality.

I think the author is communicating their dislike of senior coworkers trying to play matchmaker with their kōhais.

If battery technology werenʼt still stuck in the Vietnam War era, 2-second rapid charging would require something like a thick boi USB-B cable to satisfy everyoneʼs desire to also use their phone as a tazer/hand grenade/flying drone/cardiac defibrillator/space heater.

This is like your favorite bar removing all seating and converting itself into a vending machine with “NO LOITERING” signs plastered everywhere.

Edit: I cancelled my 7.99 USD/month subscription. It's not a big signal, but it's the only one I have that matters to SONY, the near-monopoly that owns the concern. Half the enjoyment I got was in seeing the immediate reactions of others to an episode. Now, without comments or reviews, I can't even pretend that I'm not watching these shows alone. What's the point of enjoying a show if you can't talk about it with others?

Reminds me of a quote from Galactic North (2006) green marking the start of a galaxy-wide disaster (terraforming bots making the galaxy terrifically habitable).

It was impossible for stars to shine green, any more than an ingot of metal could become greenhot if it was raised to a certain temperature. Instead, something was veiling them -- staining their light, like coloured glass. Whatever it was stole energy from the stellar spectra at the frequencies of chlorophyll. Stars were shining through curtains of vegetation, like lanterns in a forest. The greenfly machines were turning the Galaxy into a jungle.

Premieres sometime in 2025

Given the Tanabata 🎋 tanzaku in the image, I would guess sometime around 2025-07-07 or 2025-08-25?

Did the author finally get tired of her PS4? Or was it a PS5…

Veldora is a perpetual motion machine?

“This show is hot garbage. See you all here next week!”

That would explain the lack of pun explanations. Fansubs wouldnʼt be so lax.
