Agreed, this one looked like “generic edgy fantasy“ but I was regularly surprised at the depth of the worldbuilding. Definitely surpassed all my expectations.

Yep, and there are open LLMs too. There really isn’t an ethical problem with these IMO.

I don’t believe in intellectual property at all, even things like CC-BY restrictions. Information should be freely shared. I only take offense when corporations (or people) take the parts of the internet that ARE freely shared and then don’t give the results back.

Look, I work for one of those companies too, because I gotta feed my kids. But someday I would love to see that society get replaced by something better.

The objection people have to AI’s copyright infringement is predominantly a red herring. Nobody bats an eye when an indie artist copies someone’s character and sells it on a tshirt.

What most people actually object to is a large corporation spending countless resources to vacuum up public data in order to create a privately controlled model. It’s about who controls the model, and what they plan to do with it. Which in this case, are just capitalists doing capitalism yet again.

Yep, the Elite Four, Satsuki, Ragyo, Nui Harime - all are crazy cool villains/antagonists. Half the time I’m rooting for the bad guys in that show.

What? I never thought this day would come.

A lot of those are legitimately good points. I’d love to see more legally sound piracy in action.

Oh, I forgot this is airing now. That’s a pleasant surprise!

Feels like this episode has a lot faster pacing than the manga, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Glad to see Okarun’s family jewels again though.

Woah a fishman island remaster that fixes the sound, visuals, AND PACING?

Studio Trigger has been their spiritual successor for a while now anyway.

Kill La Kill is somewhat unique because the concept of nudity being considered shameful is core to the plot.

I mean yeah it’s fanservice dialed up to 11, but at least they use it as a theme and motif rather than just grafting it onto an unrelated plot.

It’s always been like that, but I don’t think the solution is to remove all women from anime…

Wait what?

Wait, are you saying that Lemon from Mashle isn’t a complex, multidimensional character?

(She’s not. Her personality traits can be summed up as “girl because we forgot to make any interesting women in this show”.)

I think they meant Herobrine, the mob Mojang keeps trying to remove from Minecraft.

Well, Hakari’s imagination is really something.

Dark Gathering is my unexpected star this season. I’ve never seen a horror anime like this before.
