The setup is better than say, Solo Leveling, but once its done it gets a lot blander just like Solo Leveling.

Granted Solo Leveling has way more issues and is 90% carried by good animation.

I also think the protagonist from Arifureta has a really cool niche ability but it really is not used creatively. For all intents and purposes after the first dungeon his power is “gun” (with “gun” being flexible) and sometimes vehicles or a shield, all of which he got from first dungeon iirc.

It’s creative in a sense that he made firearms out of essentially just magic and knowledge but like… it never evolved past that. Hell I’d take a dust explosion every once in a while or something, thermite, acid. But the focus was “aura” and edginess rather than a compelling or clever protagonist.

That said I still plan to finish the newest season and will prob watch whatever comes out next. The aesthetic got me and ig thats the point

I like parts of this show but it is just super generic harem anime a lot of the time and not really that good.

Minor compliant:

Like with

being

I feel like they explained away “And we can reverse it so no harm done”, the protagonists win by miles every time and never have any setbacks.

Major complaint:

One time I literally paused the show, it was when they get this random dude in the desert.

He’s in the backseat of the truck and I paused it thinking “why is this scene wrong”

That’s like the only time I remember a guy ever being in the backseat, it’s like only ever been female love-interests that are part of his (not-a-)harem. They have so many characters (literally the whole class got isekai’d) but no one gets much screen time unless they’re Yue or a girl with a huge bust that gets added to the not-a-harem

I thought about this a lot the other day.

Its “justification” is in that era girls go married off even younger than that.

That monk dude has to turn away a girl who’s… 14(?) after she asked him to take her with him and that she’d bear his children.

Personally, in that setting I think it’s fine as long as they are not like fanservice to the viewer and its actually plot relevant. The monk asking her originally is more for humor as it was clearly shown as ridiculous and when it was more “legal” he took it more seriously and shot it down. That kind of humor is definitely a product of its era (wasn’t the age of consent in Japan like 12 until less than a few decades ago?)

Also regarding Kagome, this anime was written by a woman and one of the main demographics is schoolgirls who want their heart to flutter by imagining themselves in a pseudo-isekai. Not saying it makes it right but it personally doesn’t bother me because I get why stories like that exist coughTwilightcough

EDIT: The constitution set it to 13. But most prefectures up-ed it to 16 in recent decades apparently

Ngl, i love linux so much more and would never go back to windows but right now my audio jack doesn’t work for my new pc build.

I’ve contacted the manufacturer of the motherboard, they say to try Windows

I’ve posted on linux questions subreddit, nothing replied

I’ve posted on EndeavourOS forums, got views, not replies.

I’ve gone so into the weeds I’m trying to remap pins because I’m assuming the manufacturer relies on something Windows pre-configures so audio will play but it never makes it out of the port but it’s been weeks and I can’t solve it.

Again, I’d never go back to windows but damn do I feel stranded rn.
