Agreed! I’ve been picking dungeon up from my local library and reading along with the show and it’s been fun comparing the two.

Only Dungeon Meshi so far but I’d like to change that. Just not sure what to start. Maybe pick another Gundam to watch.

I started Kaiju no 8 and wasn’t feeling it, curious if it gets markedly better.

Will somebody please make the live actions stop.

I love how, much like the confrontation with Qual, this show subverts your expectations of a typical shonen. In the end there is no big bombastic fight, it’s over in minutes. And DAMN that ending, even though Aura is evil, felt cold as fuck.

If I have one criticism of this episode in particular is that it felt like a long wikipedia entry info dump. That’s just a thing anime/manga do from time to time but it felt more pronounced here. Within a minute of Flamme giving her speech about hiding mana you pretty much know exactly how things are gonna go.

Damn if this show can’t still make me tear up, seeing the flowers around Flamme’s grave.
