I started a screenshot album for my virtual adventures. Check it out if you’d like.

  • Yeah, the core parts are all there, thankfully. The skipped content consists of character moments or focuses on their life in Kowloon so not essential but still unfortunate stuff to miss as I do think it adds a lot. I understand why they’re doing it this way and I’m glad this series got adapted in the first place - it deserves a larger audience and I hope the show leaves people interested in the source material after we’re done.

    The ending plan is about what I expected, now the question is whether it’ll be a full-on separate thing or if it’ll be connected to where manga version goes. Thanks for confirmation!



  • Tiny spoilers about Hebinuma (nothing specific)

    I agree Doc’s intro sucks quite a bit which surprised me as I completely forgot all about it before watching this episode. He has a few more less than stellar scenes in the future so be ready for that if you decide to stick with it (not a huge amount if I recall correctly). That said he does become a proper character with his own things happening in the background eventually - to the point I actually found him to be pretty interesting in terms of the overall plot.

    I don’t know how they’ll handle him in the anime considering its pace but he does improve in manga. They seem to stick closely to the most important parts of the story so at least some of his “good” moments should make it in.


  • Welp, more skipped content, more changes and still going at the pace of one volume per episode - can’t say I’m a fan of that. It’s not terrible so far but it’s still a disappointing way to go about it. At least what did make it in is good so there’s that.

    I’m curious what the plan for the whole season is - there’s not enough material if they intend to go this fast. I’m a bit worried.



  • It’s here! I love the manga so seeing it animated is great.

    It looks like they’re going with scattered approach (episode ended in the same place as volume 1) so I’m a bit worried about what this means for the adaptation as a whole. I hope they’ll go back to skipped chapters and just used episode one as a hook.

    Other than that it’s a pretty promising start. Can’t wait for more.

    Oh, all the food in this episode made me hungry and there’s no Chinese cuisine nearby. Curse you anime food!



  • I mostly play according to the intended game design. The only exceptions that come to mind at the moment are:

    • Open world games (GTA, Fallouts, Elder Scroll series etc) - I tend to act like a normal, civilian part of the world. I eat and drink, travel like a person rather than player (i.e. safely, without quick travel), avoid violence and do peaceful tasks when possible. I also go on trips and take screenshots of the scenery.
      Finally, if there’s an equipment system I limit myself to “reasonable” amount of baggage (both in terms of weight and volume).
    • Mirror’s Edge and Portal - the only games I learned to the point of speedrunning. I’m nowhere near the level of being able to compete with professionals (nor am I interested in that) but I can get through both pretty quickly and without issues.
