I've been planning to do this for a few weeks now, which is having weekly rotating topics about entertainment that we're consuming.
Having a weekly cadence is too much for a specific topic (i.e.games like Half-KIA has tried), but I imagine we can rotate stuff like anime, manga and games plus any other hobby since we're nerds of varying extent and it's fun to discuss these things.
This week: what movies, animes, or other videos have you watched recently or watching?
The spider manga was great. No social crap or drama. Just constant verge-of-death action with heavy vidya mechanics. Then I saw the show, wowee, you're in for a disappointment. Cutting out good stuff to make room for a bunch of human playtime that's happening 10 years after the real story. I hear the show's actually adhering to the light novels, so kudos to the manga guy cleaning it up.
I'm happy with this show so far. Having an isekai where the mc has special talent but still can get his ass beat is top tier for the genre. Haven't tried the manga, so if there's a notable difference you notice, I'd be interested to hear. I'm really appreciating that they didn't take the easy narrative path of fast-forwarding to teenage years for that cheap demographic pop.
