    Nah, I think this was late 90s / early 00s. It was just a bonus feature in the back of a book, with Cap looking at various other people on a computer screen and assessing them.

    Four Knights of the Apocalypse: The titular gang is finally all here and they look quite cool together. Hopefully we can get some explanation for why they're all needed soon.

    Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. The history of Macht comes to a close, finally explaining how everything happened. Quite interesting, in my opinion, and consistent with the characters, everything established until now, etc. Really liking this take on demons.

    In related news, the production of an anime adaptation for KoTA was green-lit. I just pray that it isn't going to be animated by Studio Deen. -_-*

    Kenpachi: Some say my mother was a train. Some say that I'm a rejected Godzilla monster too strong for the series canon. But everyone says: I'M THE KEEEEENPACHIIIIII!!!!

    Agreed, this has been quite an interesting flashback.

    Have certainly enjoyed it; was suspicious about how it would proceed, but the author certainly remained completely consistent to their presentation of the setting so far.

    Has done a good job of detailing the point that demons are not 'malicious' or 'evil'*, they are just 100% alien to us and...are what they are.

    Oddly, in some ways it reminds me of CJ Cherryh's Foreigner series.

    * we might consider them such by their actions, but realistically that's just putting our values onto them...which is a little weird considering they are literally not wired to understand our values.

    I'm always impressed by how dexterous Mashima makes his heroines, and Rebecca catching a thrown sword between her two feet while clinging for dear life with her hands to a curtain and then throwing the sword she caught with her feet to free her friends is one of the more impressive displays in that category.

    Very good chapter in Kaiju #8 this week.

    Really fun little twist on several tropes at play there. Very good work!

    Oddly enough, I literally just started reading it about an hour ago. I'm on chapter 13.

    ...not a lot happening at work today.
