worry, on 01 October 2025 - 04:57 PM, said:To be clear, the facial hair thing isn't some weird Mr. Burns "trim those sideburns" thing, it's a reversal of a specific decades-long accommodation. The goal of this change is to push (mostly) Black people out of the military: https://www.motherjo...r-black-troops/
The majority of Hegseth's speech -- and the policy changes that will follow -- are about making the military more straight, male, and (most importantly) white....for certain purposes that don't bode well historically.
I think the thing that stood out to me most was his gym-bro "Warriors" shit about getting fit ect. Like this dry drunk chowderhead is under the impression that everyone in the US military are frontline soldiers like it's 1066 out there....instead of massive amounts of the military apparatus being logistics, engineering, IT, and all other aspects of keeping it running....like his cartoonish view of the military is that scene from the end of Braveheart....he has no idea what a modern military looks like.
And he just stood in front of however many people who not only know, but outrank and outclass him on every level and told them how stupid he fucking is. -

I think what I like most about it is that every single "monster of the week" as it were, not only builds on the last, but all have an emotional core to them...like Turbo Granny is not just a yokai...but sheSpoileras an example from the first few eps. And they only get more emotional and traumatic from there.
That said, I've read at least 6 or 7 arcs into the manga, so perhaps my view is longer since we are only 2 seasons into the anime.
Anyways, I love it. I haven't found characters this enjoyable individually since The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya. -

Anyway I'm enjoying it so far, let's see if it gets the Double Meh or if it fits my tastes more.
Yeah. I mean it's not in any way bad...and they know how to keep you rolling in it (I ploughed through it pretty quickly, but I had a lot of free time to read with a number of days off on vacation), but I'll be curious what you think when you're done.
The cover is lovely, and I like the map (which is not in the printed version on our side of the pond and I had to look it up on their website). -

I've read the Manga up to a point, so I'm just enjoying the adaptation now…
Like Abyss…now that you've caught up with DMEON SLAYER….hop to this. It's on Netflix, so it's easily accessible.
It's just a joy to watch, with a wacky but emotional story.
Watched the first two eps, it didn't really grab me - the 'kids in school' angle is widely used in anime and not something that holds my attention vs a whole other setting like Demon Slayer. Your reco is noted tho', may give it a few more eps, will see.
The school setting is only really in the background as things go on, and things get weirder and weirder...but yeah see if you can get into it with a few more eps. The Turbo Granny arc (eps 1-4/5) is all table setting for the show.
