It's genuinely phenomenal battle shounen like the choreography is in a league of its own with awesome artwork and the storytelling is integrated nicely with the fights!!
I take back everything I said about this just being shamelessly generic like YES it is a simple revenge story at its core without particularly revolutionary themes but the execution is so good. After the first couple chapters it really starts to find its footing and todays chapter was actually just fucking excellent. The use of food as metaphor for them understanding one another, the countdown, the beautiful spreads, this is actually just Good Manga and I'm hopeful for the future of this series if Hokazono make villains as fire as Sojo.

how people even manage to get sucked into viral post discourse on this site is beyond me my page is like a constant stream of megaman occasionally interrupted by someone complaining about a post apparently everyone else has seen and is angry about judging by the notes. I like it this way though being able to just opt out of nonsense by culling my feed in a way I cant on twitter.
“Perhaps you have forgotten. That’s one of the great problems of our modern world, you know. Forgetting. The victim never forgets. Ask an Irishman what the English did to him in 1920 and he’ll tell you the day of the month and the time and the name of every man they killed. Ask an Iranian what the English did to him in 1953 and he’ll tell you. His child will tell you. His grandchild will tell you. And when he has one, his great-grandchild will tell you too. But ask an Englishman—” He flung up his hands in mock ignorance. “If he ever knew, he has forgotten. ‘Move on!’ you tell us. ‘Move on! Forget what we’ve done to you. Tomorrow’s another day!’ But it isn’t, Mr. Brue.” He still had Brue’s hand. “Tomorrow was created yesterday, you see. That is the point I was making to you. And by the day before yesterday, too. To ignore history is to ignore the wolf at the door.” - A Most Wanted Man by John le Carré
seeing those transition timelines make me happy like damn there might be hope for me yet some day
Iok Kujan might have usurped the throne of "funniest Gundam char" from Jerid. That nigga did not take one real W the entire series n tried to die for one like 3 times. A true loser. I watched the series in dub so at first I didn't like his voice cause of the weird direction but by the end I could not possibly imagine him sounding any other way
I was too harsh on the five seven's visual design...

Played some of the Boundary open beta, an fps by Studio Surgical Scalpels. Its a tactical fps game sort of like R6S set in space with some fun ass unique movement. I think point capture can be pretty annoying since you're forced out of the open space freedom of the map and funneled into really tiny rooms, but TDM is dope and and the gunplay is great. There arent really any FPS games like it and I think the game has tons of potential in spite of some gripes. The concept alone is raw as hell, astronauts shooting each other in the ruins of space stations.
"We'll fire you if you tell others how much you're making" The National Labor Relations Act of 1935 specifically protects employees who discuss their own wages with each other (you can't reveal someone else's wages if you were given that information in the course of work, but you can always discuss your own or any that were revealed to you outside of work duties)
"If we can't fire you for [discussing wages/seeking reasonable accommodation/filing a discrimination complaint/etc], we'll just fire you for something else the next day." This is called pretextual termination, and it offers your employer almost no protection; if you are terminated shortly after taking a protected action such as wage discussion, complaints to regulatory agencies, or seeking a reasonable accommodation, you can force the burden onto your employer to prove that the termination wasn't retaliatory.
"Disparaging the company on social media is grounds for termination" Your right to discuss workplace conditions, compensation, and collective action carries over to online spaces, even public ones. If your employer says you aren't allowed to disparage the company online or discuss it at all, their social media policy is illegal. However, they can forbid releasing information that they're obligated to keep confidential such as personnel records, business plans, and customer information, so exercise care.
"If you unionize, we'll just shut this branch down and lay everyone off" Threatening to take action against a group that unionizes is illegal, full stop. If a company were to actually shut down a branch for unionizing, they would be fined very heavily by the NLRB and be opening themselves up to a class-action lawsuit by the former employees.
"We can have any rule we want, it's only illegal if we actually enforce it" Any workplace policy or rule that has a "chilling effect" on employees' willingness to exercise their rights is illegal, even if the employer never follows through on any of their threats.
"If you [protected action], we'll make sure you never work in this industry/city/etc again." Blacklisting of any kind is illegal in half the states in the US, and deliberately sabotaging someone's job search in retaliation for a protected action is illegal everywhere in the US.
"Step out of line and you can kiss your retirement fund/last paycheck goodbye." Your employer can never refuse to give you your paycheck, even if you've been fired. Nor can they keep money that you invested in a retirement savings account, and they can only claw back the money they invested in the retirement account under very specific circumstances.
"We'll deny that you ever worked here" not actually possible unless they haven't been paying their share of employment taxes or forwarding your withheld tax to the government (in which case they're guilty of far more serious crimes, and you might stand to gain something by turning them in to the IRS.) The records of your employment exist in state and federal tax data, and short of a heist that would put Oceans 11 to shame, there's nothing they can do about that.
