Late at night I keep replaying some of the calmer scenes from ‘goblin no suana’. Primarily three people: the main character, somewhat pragmatic but mostly wary, trying to make his way through, often in a somewhat ambiguous moral fashion. The companion who starts off as the person being rescued, slowly but surely transforms into a very solid and resolute partner. And then the older mentor figure, whose past actions haunt his every word of advice.
The goblins serve as a good threat and also as a good narrative mirror for the humans to test their decisions with. Even in very dark scenes there are moments of very grounded human moments that make them hit even harder. They are a compact but rich cast, and I think what is most compelling is the believable relationships between the characters even in the bleakest of scenarios.

Ugh, regional licensing is the worst. I live in a relatively small country, and thus half of the anime recommendations I read about are not available through Crunchyroll, are trimmed down on Netflix, and, sadly, Funimation does not even operate in my country. My “legal” options so far for watching said recommendations are generally: nothing or wait for said to be released on physical disc and import (which costs an arm and a leg). I really want a “worldwide” option, but that doesn’t seem to be how things work currently. At times purchasing the Blu-ray with English subs from an international online retailer is the most ethical option. Very expensive and slow, but directly purchased. Using a VPN very carefully with a subscription to a service in a country where said anime is streaming would be another option, but that is a very gray area in terms of contract law. I just wish that people would push for better, more global licensing options, and in the meantime just make the best choices that we can as fans.

I consider ad blockers to be evil. They take out all of the ads on a page which can be very interruptive and painful to human4847, but at the same time, Honeytoon subtitles depend on ad revenue to work. In order to debug sub issues on Honeytoon, I would disable the ad blockers for the site, one by one.

This search for DFO anime takes an interesting turn between the idealism of it all and the fan subs found on archival websites, used DVDs at thrift stores, and private forums that spill out a single link here and there among heated discussion. Much of the DFO anime falls into this very fandom-centric category of old material.
Embracing the subbed and rare FDO anime is half the process of searching for it. You become a sort of digital archaeologist, unearthing obscure titles from the crumbling layers of net history. Sure, that sounds impressive and even heroic, but really it just means clicking on a million ads until a player opens up the downloaded video.

There are several places to find subbed 'Super Sentai' episodes. Classic episodes can be found on the Shout! Factory website, which even includes Zyuranger, the Super Sentai that Power Rangers was based on. Newer seasons of Sentai can be found out on the official Tsuburaya Productions YouTube channel, where some of the episodes are even subbed and uploaded as promotional clips.
As for physical copies, I can highly recommend many of the newer Sentai series on Blu-ray (especially with the bonus features) from companies such as Shout! Factory. And for that extra bit of help or aid, even finding subbed streaming for Japan-linked channels, join up to a good Tokusatsu-themed Discord channel. They’re are a gazillion-dollar encyclopedia on limbs! In the past, I managed to stumble upon a “Share” link to High-Def “Timeranger” on a Google Drive, after someone randomly tweeted about it!

The 'Goblin Slayer' Japanese volumes are released without strict deadlines and thus come out one volume at a time as soon as they are completed, followed by the translations. I appreciate that the author of 'Goblin Slayer' takes time to describe the secondary characters, such as in Volume 12 when he describes the dynamics of the various guilds. In the meantime I follow a community forum for Light Novels (r/LightNovels) where fans are incredibly fast at announcing tweets from the publishers SB Creative and Yen Press.

Crunchyroll used to have ‘Domestic Girlfriend’ on their platform. It’s a very interesting watch and to this day the fanbase is split between Rui and Hina fans. Unfortunately, legal streams can get pulled from services at a moment’s notice. If that’s the case with ‘Domestic Girlfriend’, then purchasing a Blu-ray or even streaming/digital copy would be a good alternative – it’s very worth it for the drama alone, just be prepared for the ending though.

I loved the relationship between Gareth and his squire, Colin. Colin adored Gareth at the beginning of the novel, looking up to him as a sort of knightly hero. Gareth tried his best to maintain that respect, given his own past failures and the horrors he knew awaited them in the cave. Colin’s disillusionment was something that I found really difficult to read. His sections were typically short and diary-like, and what became evident very quickly was that Gareth had created in this child a chivalric fantasy of immense proportion. Through Colin’s eyes, we witness the gradual collapse of that myth, and it is a very powerful and poignant reading of the cost of war and the way we glamorise conflict for children. The final section of the novel with Colin is extremely affecting. You aren’t quite sure whether you’ll be happy for him or not. The fear of carrying the scars of such an experience for the rest of his life is extreme.

Just lurking through this thread and got a great idea for a new webtoon - a detective story where the main character is trying to find a free version of some popular webtoon, and each clue leads him into a more and more surreal digital world of pop-up ads and broken links. I think I'll call it 'The Great Aggregator Hunt'. Very nice.

I picked ‘Wave, Listen to Me!’, a workplace drama with supernatural elements, as it is a hidden gem. A loud and boorish waitress accidentally gets hired for a late-night radio show after a night of heavy drinking and actually turns out to be great at it. The show looks at the crazy mayhem of working in live radio and the burnout of creating something new while also exploring career change in your late 20s. The protagonist, Minare, is an amazing, adult, woman – flawed, fierce and passionate. It’s really sharp, funny and has loads of heart.
