Chapter 66It's been a while but it's time for another volume. Previously, Shima and Hatsushiba were having to deal with a partnership with Chufa that seemed to be a little two-faced as they had to deal with some false advertising Chufa was putting out while at the same time, politicians and Japanese business leaders were debating what the launch of the Shenzhou 5 space mission meant more broadly for China's emerging global role.However, the main story development was the return of Noriko which was brought about by the passing of another member of the Hatsushiba old guard when Oizumi died following a bad fall. With Oizumi gone, Noriko decided to move to Beijing to take over the snack bar Oniyama and after arriving, immediately caught the eye of Chufa's CEO Sun Rui. The two entered into a relationship with Sun at first trying to hide his status but eventually revealed it after learning the Noriko's ex-lover was Shima. Trying to compete with Shima, he held a large party to introduce Noriko as the woman he loved but Noriko would leave in huff... a ploy on her part to show Sun who was really in control in their relationship.
This artstyle really reminds me of older Urasawa Naoki at times
>>287162061It's still officially illegal for private tutoring companies to teach core curriculum subjects such as math and English, but it's legal to teach "non-core curriculum subjects. So, you have private tutoring companies trying to skirt the regulations in creative ways:>Prvate tutoring operators, while diminished, continued to exist in various forms, often redesigning courses to skirt restrictions or advertising them under code words. >Mathematics-related courses, for example, are commonly marketed as "logical thinking".>Lisa ran an English tutoring school in the eastern province of Zhejiang that shifted its curriculum to comply with rules that prohibit the teaching of core subjects such as mathematics and English.>Lisa, who declined to give her full name for fear of official retribution, said she laid off 60% of her staff following the crackdown.>But the school maintained classes by pivoting to teaching science-related courses in English, without calling them English classes.https://www.reuters.com/world/china/chinas-private-tutoring-firms-emerge-shadows-after-crackdown-2024-10-28/Parents who are rich enough also started doing the following:>One-on-one tutoring, meanwhile, flourished as parents who could afford the higher prices hired tutors to come to their homes.
>>287146875It's been interesting watching Hirokane go from generally being optimistic about the future of the Japanese economy to "we're completely fucked" once China came into the picture.
>>287169921Whatever Shima's getting paid, it's not enough. How many times has he faced near death at this point?
>>287173421Well at this point they're at the point where the Lost Decade is becoming plural while Japan's main historical enemy is rising and nothing the Japanese business and political leaders do seems to fix it so yeah it's not hard to see why he'd start feeling that way.
Now that it's over, was it worth it? Will they ever make a season 2?
>>287173576then you should have said "the anime" instead of just "anime"little english lesson for you
>>287173659again, you are in a darwin incident's thread

>>287171936That's not true, there've been a few gacha colabs here and there.
>>287173097>gachaThat's just more slop. Steins;Gate has been shit for so long I'm still trying to remember why I got attached to the series in the first place.
>>287173570The series was never good.
Why? so frustrating
>>287170779>no nipsI've circled them for you
Stop giving girls bodily dysmorphia! There is nothing wrong with having nipples!
>>287172529nice
weekly shounen magazine does not allow visible nips in the magazine, only in the tankobons
>>287173697has Medaka ever shown nipples in the tanks?

Also will be providing an archive to the entire manga at the end.

>>287137657>>287138807>>287168124From the director interview in >>287136540>When it comes to creating each episode of The Demon King's Daughter Is Too Kind!!, it's not the animation or the story that provides the biggest challenge. It's the music. Each episode of the anime contains an original children's song sung by Dou (and sometimes the other characters join in). “I've occasionally had insert songs in my anime up until now, but I don't think any other productions have done one [in every episode]. So, we took on the challenge of doing it—and it was actually my idea—but when we actually started doing it, I realized how much of a hassle it was.”>The issue is one of timing and pacing. “If the music part is set to, say, 90 seconds, it can't be cut off during editing—there's a TV episode runtime limit, after all. And so, knowing that there's a 90-second part of the episode that can't be cut puts a lot of pressure on the editing.” Ohta continued, “The songs have to fit, and the drama can't become too compressed. It is a bit difficult to strike that balance.”So we can see how starved they were for broadcast time and even still the final episode included both an insert song and introduced a voiced Mazda and Haurvatat as well a plot hook for the Heaven Arc, something I don't think they would have put resources into if they didn't believe it would amount to anything in the future. They could have easily left this entire segment out of the conclusion as a SoL anime and made things easier on themselves from production standpoint if they didn't have any expectations of a continuation.

Why are there so many fatties in anime these days? Is this what people really want?
That character looks like something out of a serialization that would have ended 20 years ago, not modern at all.
Another year, another disappointment

>>287173907Make a new thread this one is about to die
>>287172749While this is all true and nobody has ever accused Touma of having all his marbles, the way you phrase the reason why he thinks a perfect world would be a bad thing is terribly uncharitable. Touma knows by expirience that achieving a world where nothing ever goes wrong requieres nothing short of an absolute tyranny where everyone is being controlled 24/7. It's a whole theme that was revisited during GT4 in his conversation with Othinus, where she brought up him and Misaki due to her powers should be aware of why everyone being forced to get along is dangerous.
>>287174261Oh no, he has solid reasoning. He opens up with a viewpoint backed by logic as to why he doesn't like it, but then he clarifies that it just doesn't sound fun. It's been kind of a running thing with him I've noticed. He didn't like Othinus getting executed because she's already surrendering and cares for her, and it'd be more fun for her to join the group. He didn't like Alice's adventure because it puppets everyone and blocks off other possibilities, and the uncertainty was more fun. At his core, if you peel everything else away, I legitimately think his biggest problem with it is that it would be boring.
>>287174215Here it is.>>287174387
>>287174501Actually, he saved Othinus and killed Coronzon because he is the one who purifies gods and slays demons
Finally after six years, Season 2 is here. The first three episodes drop in 4 hours.https://youtu.be/guARjKjyFLYhttps://youtu.be/q9jOTM2XlK0
I'm enjoying the adaptation so far.
>>287173895so 7 more years?
>>287174209The director will be forced to direct all of one piece’s ending and then come back for another season of Dorohedoro as a reward.
>>287174227>one piece>ending
>>287174430I guess I should say that he has to direct chainsaw man: the ending part 1, 2, and 2.
It's been almost a year since the first episode of this gem aired.Does it still hold up?
>>287168367At the funeral yes
