Recently I watched the first season of From Old Country Bumpkin To Master Swordsman ... Season 1 Beryl Gardinant, a self-proclaimed humble old man, is a sword instructor at his dojo in a rural, backwater village. In his younger years, he dreamed of glory as a master swordsman, but those days are long behind him. Out of the blue, he receives a visit from a famous former pupil who brings him news--he's been appointed as a special instructor for the knights of the Liberion Order! With his life now turned upside down, Beryl travels to the capital and reunites with some of his former students. What does fate have in store for Beryl? Season 2 Beryl Gardenant, a swordmaster from the countryside, is settling into his new life as a special instructor for the Royal Order of Knights and the guardian of an orphan. A peaceful life is not in the cards, however, and Beryl is confronted with new obstacles. At the magic institute, in his hometown, at the kingdom's border, away in a foreign l...

I took a look at Handyman Saitou In Another World ... Handyman Saitou has never felt special in his life. When he's dropped into a medieval fantasy world, he gathers a party of unique beings to survive. Surrounded by a heavy warrior, a spell-forgetting wizard, and even a divine fairy princess, he yearns to be helpful. But after Saitou saves everyone during a raid, it's clear that having a handyman on an adventure isn't just useful, it's essential! Join our intrepid handyman, Saitou, as he picks locks, fixes equipment and does whatever odd jobs a handyman does out in the field. Most of the series unfolds as ongoing vignettes that showcase Saitou's usefulness in some way or center on a particular character. All of the characters are intertwined in various ways, but, it's not until the latter part of the series, that one particular character emerges as the central figure to everything that has happened and it's NOT Saitou. Most of the series feels somewhat dis...

Light has a curious power called Gacha which allows him to randomly acquire cards that can be redeemed for something.

How A Realist Hero Rebuilt A Kingdom seemed like something I might enjoy, so I bought it... Suddenly summoned to a fantasy world and betrothed to the princess, Souma Kazuya is crowned the new king. Unlike the royalty before him, he won't be using swords or magic to rule. Will his administrative reform really get this kingdom back on track? After being summoned to another world, Souma finds that the kingdom is in dire financial straights and needs to either come up the cash or send their newly summoned hero off to repay their debts. Souma isn't pleased with his situation and asks to see the kingdom's financial statements instead. After reviewing the financials with Souma, the king abdicates the throne and dumps his responsibilities onto Souma. Souma, now the newly appointed king, along with a host of accountants, solves some of the kingdom's most immediate issues. In the process, Souma manages to stir up political issues both with nobles whose finances have come und...

If Your Browser Supports SVG, An SVG Image Will Appear Here This is very off-topic, but, I wanted to share. For the link to my about page, I wanted a person icon with a transparent background. I had tried a conventional image format like PNG, but, after staring at it on my phone for a while and comparing it to the search icon across from it, I really wanted an icon that remained crisp at different resolutions. SVG seemed to be the format of choice for such things. I needed a generic person icon of my very own in SVG format and with so much AI-generated slop begging for link backs, I decided to try my hand at making my own. After a bit of tinkering on CodePen , I came up with my person icon. An SVG file is just a text file that describes how to draw whatever it it that you want to draw. In this case, a circle and a closed rounded path (arc). I wanted my person to be just an outline, so, fill is set to none . The stroke value controls the color of the lines and the thickness ...

Of course, I had to finish off the series... Evangelion 3.0+1.01: Thrice Upon A Time ... The fourth and final installment of the Rebuild of Evangelion. Following NERV's failed attempt to retrieve the Spears of Longinus and carry out the Human Instrumentality Project, the destruction caused by the Fourth Impact has been largely averted. In a state of disarray, Shinji Ikari, Asuka Langley Shikinami, and Rei Ayanami travel to Village 3--a survivor settlement free from Earth's ruination. There, Shinji slowly comes to terms with his past, developing an entirely different life from his days as an Evangelion pilot. Meanwhile, NERV makes preparations to continue the Instrumentality Project by means of a new Impact. When WILLE's main aerial battleship arrives at the village, Shinji decides to board, believing that he can help by piloting an Evangelion. As new secrets are uncovered and a battle between WILLE and NERV approaches, the future of Earth hangs in the balance. Can Shinji s...

I couldn't not watch Milky Subway: The Galactic Limited Express ... Arrested for reckless space driving, super human Chiharu and cyborg Makina are sentenced to clean the Milky☆Subway--an old interplanetary train. Easy enough, right? Wrong. When the train suddenly takes off, they are thrown into a high-speed space-train spectacle packed with chaos, no plans, and zero strategy. Just pure momentum! Milky Subway is a zany, action-packed comedy adventure. The story follows the exploits of a group of misfits trapped on a runaway train. As the group comes together to save themselves, events spiral out of control and become more and more ridiculous. There are no naughty bits or red ink. I left details out because this is a fairly short story -- less than an hour -- and I didn't want to spoil it. Originally, this production was released in a number of shorts that combined to tell a complete story. The creator has since reworked the animation to produce a full-length OVA with some new...
