Okay, now it's over
Solo: A Leveling Story, fin
Yes, there will be season 2. Which is both unsurprising and good, because half of the recent episodes have been setup for it. Including a good chunk of this one, where The Big Reveal is that the big bad bugs are getting better. The actual fight that continues from last week is resolved in the obvious way, leading to a prestige-class “choice” that even Our Self-Admonishing Hero can figure out was a setup.
Meanwhile, if this is not a fan-service show, maybe don’t shove the camera up his little sister’s crotch? Sure, she wears more to bed than most anime gals wear as street clothes, but come on.
Verdict: a good setup for a second season, as long as they don’t waste several episodes recapping what we just watched. Hopefully it’s already in production, so it’s not two years out.
(using up more Frieren leftovers, because most of the fan-art is of Our Hero, not the girls)
Choco, Bunny, Good-Good, fin
First, second two-cour season announced for October. Maybe someone will finally license the light novels (the manga is currently well ahead of the anime).
Second, Chocolate Bunny’s Got A Posse Pussy.
Third, Sailor Goon asks, “is that a cat-sith under your robes, or are you just happy to see me?”.
Verdict: Our Cocoa-Colored Craftsbunny continues to impress, although her interactions with Our Freakish Hero inevitably bring all the shouty. 8/10, would grind again.
Twittering Over Magical Girls
The official TwitX account for Gushing Over Magical Girls has lots of nice preview pics and action/reaction GIFs. I’m just following it hoping for an eventual season 2 announcement…
Publisher oopsie!
I had a light novel ebook on preorder, and when it auto-downloaded, it was just a 19-page preview. The book is currently in the top 50 of the “Fantasy Adventure Fiction” category, but it’s getting pummeled with 1-star reviews, because it’s short a few hundred pages and you can’t get a refund. (likely because Amazon thinks you read it all the way through…)
It came out on Friday, so it probably will take until at least Monday to get a corrected version uploaded and approved.
(Update: customer support on publisher's forum, Monday morning: "This will be a process to fix, it always is with Amazon and they have no incentive to not make it a long process, they are Amazon.")
