Eskating cyclist, gamer and enjoyer of anime. Probably an artist. Also I code sometimes, pretty much just to mod titanfall 2 tho.

Introverted, yet I enjoy discussion to a fault.

I’m finding I’m a lot less frustrated now that Thunder has great support for cross-posts. On any one post you can see a list of all the other posts, their votes, and comment counts.

It’s super easy to jump between all the threads discussing the same thing and participate in them all.

I’m not sure… Is consuming the fantasy creatures instead of banging them better or worse?

It’s still Marcy. But then I’ve held the stance since the start and I’ve read the manga, so it was unlikely to change watching the anime.

I really loved the paintings added to Marcy's nightmare, they more explicitly spell out her implied past trauma of losing her human father to old age.

I really wanted to see more of Izu in this season, but as she isn’t with the main gang from the start, there was never going to be that much of her int this first run.

Rest assured she’s in it for the long haul. Next season we’ll see plenty more of the best cat-girl in fiction.

Chapter 52 made for a pretty good stopping point in the end. It got some deets from the surface mixed in, and an outlining for what the gang plans to do next.

Many questions remain. Why are the elves here? What exactly happened in Kabru’s home village? Why is forbidden magic forbidden? Who and what is the winged lion? No high-stakes final climax, just a calm trolley-ride into the unknown.

If you’re dying to know what happens next, I highly recommend the manga. Having read it has not ruined watching the anime for me in any way whatsoever. The opposite, I was only more hyped because I knew what was coming. So once season 2 rolls around, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it just as much as I have, if not even more knowing that the story only gets better and more interesting as it goes. Or maybe it’d make the wait even worse…

If the manga is something that interests you, I’m happy to say the adaptation has been extremely faithful, to the point that there are no differences to account for if you want to pick up where the anime has left off. Your starting point, then, would be chapter 53. Still, the manga is a masterpiece, and I think reading it from the start will give you an appreciation for the details, and a chance to notice new things, which is something the anime has been doing for me.

This episode adapted another Farcille moment that I’m really happy I don’t have to wait for. Is it even possible for a character to be sweeter than our dear Marcy?

And Izu is already showing a huge change. Though initially put off by Marcy’s outburst of emotion, she is very quick to try and awkwardly offer comfort. Not to mention that she was settling down for a nap in Marcy’s lap to begin with :D

I really don’t like the trend of looking at peoples bodies and using that alone to determine whether the amount they are currently eating is insufficient or excessive. The way someone looks just doesn’t tell you that except for at the really extreme ends of obesity and starvation.

We don’t know enough. Only she does, and whether she is acting upon what she knows in a way that’s healthy, isn’t something the commenters can know, either.

That does not look like 35kg to me, unless she is tiny af. Which she might be. The self harm scars in other posts obviously mean she’s been not ok at some point, but may not necessarily mean she’s still struggling now.

While I’m all for encouraging healthy living for everyone, that does not look like catabolysis, or like so much definition to be cause for worry due to a fat percentage approaching nothing.

People can look very skinny, or quite thick, without reaching a point that comes with significantly increased health risks. If nutritional needs are being met, muscle and fat mass can vary a lot without being unhealthy.

That’s not to say you can go as low as you like as long as you eat right and avoid catabolysis, low body fat has some drawbacks of it’s own, but they only kick in when approaching very low percentages. Fatty tissue serves many biological purposes and as such eliminating it entirely or pushing towards a very small number, has adverse metabolic, pulmonary and immunological affects. Above all, the nervous system is absolutely reliant of fatty tissue.

The manga took years, the publishing pace was one chapter a month, but holy shit they were bangers every time. Especially later on in the story, you’d think you’d forget to come back an read each chapter with a four week gap each time, but no.

I’m not entirely sure though, and I haven’t seen it confirmed anywhere. Some chapters are really huge, so adapting three every episode might not work for the whole thing. We’ll see, but I’m hoping I’m right, and we are getting a full adaptation with beginning, middle, and end, each part twice as dense with quality.

The manga had some bare chests without nipples drawn. I expect trigger to match the manga on that, and that to be the reason for the rating.

As already stated by others, the story has some really tragic elements, though it doesn’t get very graphic.

No-one gets brutally ripped to shreds and devoured by a monster, the orc massacre is about as violent as it gets.,
