Genius Prince's Guide To Raising A Nation Out Of Debt...

Image
I thought it would be fun to watch the Genius Prince's Guide To Raising A Nation Out Of Debt ... The king of Natra has fallen ill, leaving the only hope for his kingdom to his son, Prince Wein Salema Arbalest. Known to be capable and wise, he is the perfect candidate to become the prince regent. However, if the prince has anything to say about the matter, he would rather sell off the Kingdom of Natra to the highest bidder! Since he wields the authority of the throne, no one can stop Wein from auctioning off the country and using the profits to retire in comfort. All he needs to do is raise the value of the small kingdom to maximize his gains. But whether Wein's grand plan will succeed remains to be seen, as his wit often surpasses even his own expectations -- much to the benefit of the oblivious citizens of Natra. However, when Prince Wein accidentally ends up bettering the kingdom, his dreams of retirement are replaced with work that'll require wisdom and wit. Our sto...

From Bureaucrat To Villainess: Dad's Been Reincarnated!...

Image
I had the opportunity to watch From Bureaucrat To Villainess: Dad's Been Reincarnated! ... Kenzaburo Tondabayashi was a loving husband and father until he was hit by a truck saving a young boy and woke to find himself in the world of his daughter's favorite videogame. Even weirder: he's now inexplicably Grace, the story's villainess! Of course, being a nice guy at heart, he has no idea how to be a mean girl and everything he tries only makes the plot deviate further from the one he's seen his daughter follow. But is that such a bad thing? It may be if he wants to finish the game's story properly so he can return to the real world in From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad's Been Reincarnated! I have a soft spot for older male lead characters in anime. As the main villain and a woman at that, Dad is clueless and out of his depth, but, as a good man with a kind heart he can work with what he's been given. Dad uses his ingenuity and life experience to make thi...

Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective...

Image
I watched Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective ... Ten'ikai General Hospital's Supervisory Department of Diagnostic Pathology handles cases other physicians deem too difficult to treat. It's also where bizarre mysteries surface, from unexplained illnesses to strange murders even the police can't solve. At the center of it all is Takao Ameku, a brilliant doctor determined to reveal the shocking truth behind these anomalies. Join Doctor Ameku as she explores some fascinating medical cases from an urban legend of people who die if they watch a certain video to a case where a dead man arrives with blue blood and appeared to have attacked by an animal. Each episode features a new medical mystery or the continuation of an existing case across two or three episodes. Whenever I see anime doctors, I'm always tempted to compare them to American TV doctors like Quincy from the 1970s TV show. Doctor Ameku's relationship with the police and the hospital administration is somewhat...

Drug Store In Another World - The Slow Life Of A Cheat Pharmacist...

Image
I took the time to watch Drug Store In Another World - The Slow Life Of A Cheat Pharmacist ... Reiji Kirio was a corporate wage slave, who did nothing but work all day, every day. On a typical day of walking to work with a hollow look on his face, he suddenly found himself in the forest of another world. Oh, this must be one of those isekai reincarnations people keep talking about. The two skills he has are Appraise and Drug Discovery. Those don't sound too impressive... well, whatever. Except these turn out to be particularly overpowered skills! And so, a story about following the slow life philosophy while running a drugstore in another world begins. Join Reiji and his companion werewolf Noela and their live-in ghost Mina as he manages his drug store in another world. The series follows Reiji as he invents various concoctions for his discerning clients. From a calming tea for a very excitable noble to dish soap and a number of other things in between. Along the way, Reiji helps ...

Failure Frame: I Became The Strongest And Annihilated Everything With Low-Level Spells...

Image
Failure Frame: I Became The Strongest And Annihilated Everything With Low-Level Spells looked interesting... Touka always faded into the background at school. And when he's summoned to another world with his classmates, that still doesn't change! They all acquire top-rank skills, except Touka, who's deemed a failure and cast to ancient ruins by the goddess Vicius. Turns out, his low-rank skills may not be so useless after all. Now, he seeks revenge against the goddess, and his true nature is revealed. Our resident anti-hero, Touka, is summoned to another world along with the rest of his class and is deemed the weakest link by the goddess Vicius and promptly dumped into a dungeon full of monsters where he is expected to die. Touka's powers are relatively weak, but, his powers accumulate strength quickly depending on how many monsters Touka kills and he ends up farming the monsters to level up with astonishing speed. All the while, Touka's rage against the goddess g...

The Lingering Mystery Of The Missing Hamburger In Emporio...

Image
This is very off-topic. But, I'll just preface this by saying that I don't have a magic solution for some hamburger issues on the Emporio template. I've been experimenting with the template in an effort to get the hamburger to appear on the item view and behave in a similar fashion to the home page, but, I'm running into some difficulties. I've used a technique similar to the following on Contempo and Soho , so, I thought I'd give it a try and it failed spectacularly. This is the Emporio -flavored code that I'm using to make the hamburger show on the item view, but, fair warning, it doesn't actually do anything but blank out the page: <script type="text/javascript"> var d=document; var divs; divs=d.getElementsByTagName('div'); for (var i=0;i<divs.length;i++){ if (divs[i].className=='centered-top'){ var existingbutton = new String(divs[i].innerHTML); if (existingbutton.indexOf('hamburger-menu') == -1){ divs[i]...

Girls' Frontline...

Image
Girl robots with guns. I couldn't stay away. I had to watch Girls' Frontline ... After World War III decimated the world's population and rendered large amounts of land uninhabitable, various private military contractors began using combat androids -- also known as T-Dolls -- to maintain peace in unstable countries. While they are physically superior to flesh-and-blood fighters, T-Dolls are incapable of formulating complex plans and thus require a human commander to issue orders. Sangvis Ferri was an industry-leading T-Doll manufacturer until they attempted to install a specialized T-Doll as the company's sole commander—resulting in the immediate deaths of everyone at that facility. Seizing control of Sangvis factories, the rogue AI declared war on the remnants of mankind. Now facing a hostile robot invasion, Griffin & Kryuger is the only paramilitary organization strong enough to withstand confrontation and halt their destructive advances. Investigating the ev...
