Great 1st ep. This has the potential to be one of those anime that is great fun the entire time and then hit you in the face

The episode makes it seem like Mia wasnt paying attention in saintess school when they were covering the whole "summon pillars, set up barrier to weaken monsters" thing

More like Philia being so powerful no one ever needed to do anything. The knights didn't deploy and as they said earlier, erecting such a pillar is not a simple task.

I can't really shake the feeling that this anime's been specifically set up to get the audience to cry. I'm not sure how to feel about that.

Also, I've never heard an argument/fight being referred to as a "row"

she didn't get a drop from her friend in the first half.

She did though, didn't she? She had 4 drops by the end of the episode

That new eunuch is definitely Suirei, right?

Interesting thought. Sadly I don't remember much about Suirei..

Which I still find suspicious with all the cutting and muting the EBU seemed to do

[–] ReluctantZen 14 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Because some of their broadcasters are part of the European Broadcasting Union. Neighbouring countries like Jordan and Lebanon are part of the EBU too, but others like Morocco and Algeria are part of the EBU as well, and as such can also compete. They rarely or never have though (in part because of Israel's involvement, but sometimes also more puritan reasons like nudity).

Totally, but the dire wolf is not one of them

that disappeared because of humans and restoring ecosystems are possible ones

Yeah, 10,000 years ago. Is it really restoring when the ecosystem has been functioning for such a long period without it? Wouldn't it sooner disrupt it?

Gritonia is even more infuriating in anime form than in the manga. Hearing them just brings another dimension of disgust.

Yep, a slight suspicion started a few episodes ago for me, but with this episode it's a stronger suspicion. But with the rumours of Loulan being pregnant combined with the whole twin stuff not really having amounted to much so far, my theory of them being twins is starting to sound somewhat plausible too.

I've been pretty busy lately, so the Spring season snuck up on me. So far, I'm continuing Apothecary Diaries and I watched the 1st ep of the 2nd season of SHOSHIMIN today. The former is still brilliant, and the latter started off great. Other than that, I'll need to look at Anichart or something.

Not had time to continue much of RWBY and I'm not sure I will anymore. Last time I was in the mood for something silly, but I'm not sure I am anymore.

I have a pair of Audio Technica M40x and while I like the sound decently enough, I find the pads very uncomfortable. They hurt after a while and my ears get quite warm. So I'd like to replace the pads. I've seen Brainwavz and Dekoni recommended before, but the former is not available in the EU (for a reasonable price that I can find anyway) and the latter is quite pricy. Are there any other recommendations?

The spoiler tags used in Eternity >!!< don't seem to be compliant with how the majority of Lemmy apps handle spoilers. The web UI for example uses the following:

spoiler

It seems most apps follow this (Voyager for example).

This causes spoiler tags made with Eternity to be ineffective, since they don't show up as spoilers and vice versa. This can become quite annoying in communities discussing movies, tv, anime, books, manga etc

I've been ripping my anime bluray collection and wanted to have an easier way to sort it for Jellyfin, so I wanted to try Shoko Server, but it's not recognizing any of my anime. It sees the actual files, but categorizes them all as Unrecognized, making the entire idea of using it for automated sorting pointless. I'm struggling to find guides on this and the documentation is quite lacking. I don't know what I'm wrong. Are there certain rules I need to be following in order for Shoko to hash correctly? Does it hash the name? The actual ripped files?

My folder structure is setup in a way that Jellyfin properly recognizes it (without using the Shoko plugin yet), so like so for example:

- Fate/stay night: ubw (2014)
---- Season 01
---------- <episode> S01E01
- Fate/stay night: ubw (2015)
---- Season 01
---------- you get the idea

Since multi season anime often are separate entries, each season is usually its own main folder (which is one of the reasons I wanted to try Shoko to see if I could combine them into one so that I don´t have multiple entries for what is really only 1 anime series).

Anyone here that uses Shoko and have some tips?

EDIT: thanks for the information and tips everyone. Seems like Shoko might not be what I'm actually looking for.

 

This was displayed yesterday in the app when the new chapter was supposed to be uploaded. They even removed it from the library. I can't see it in my MangaPlus library and the Mihon extension says that it's removed. The Japanese version does still exist it seems and properly got the new chapter.

I read some speculation that this might be due to copyright reasons of the translated song lyrics. If that's the case, I don't understand why the Japanese version would still be up, since I assume they use the real lyrics.

Anyway, this is quite sad. I hope it gets resolved soon.
