The boss is great, such a pushover when it comes to being a disciplinarian.

If past patterns hold, Yokoajiro won’t be the culprit, but will instead have had some other traumatic experience for our main characters to help with.

TIL about qView. I am going to give this a shot because I haven’t found a great option for viewing webp outside the browser when I am stuck on Windows.

I really wish desktop image viewers supported it better instead of the browser being one of the few pieces of software that render them. For web use though, they are hard to beat when it comes to file size, so I understand why they have been so widely used in the fediverse where instances basically run off donations.

I just requested it by pm and the thread is here.

I was on vacation this past week, but managed to catch up on a few things and catch the premiere of a couple others:

• Apothecary Diaries - Finished this season up and really liked it. I think I liked the first season better, but I would be hard pressed to point to a show that managed to pull off 48 episodes of as consistently good quality as this one. Looking forward to season 3 eventually.
• Slime 300 - I caught up on this one and powered through the end of the season. It’s more of the same, just with some new moe characters. I had fun.
• Rock is a Lady’s Modesty - I enjoyed the finale, but I kind of doubt this is getting another season. I will have to wait for the manga translations to catch the rest of the story.
• Vending Machine Isekai - Boxxo is back and it picks up right where things left off. I wasn’t sure what to expect with a season two of this premise, but a three-story tall ice vending machine wasn’t it. This show remains as creative as ever.
• Dan Da Dan - Speaking of picking up right where things left off… Good first episode back and remains as unhinged as ever. I never expected a Jennifer Lopez in Anaconda reference. I am pretty sure Dan Da Dan’s primary audience was probably born after that movie came out.
• Silent Witch - Good first episode and better production quality than I was expecting (plus easily the best Villainess of the season). Looking forward to the change in setting from episode 2 onwards.
• New Saga - I read the manga for this one and I think I am going to drop the anime. If you watched the premiere and thought that you have seen this story before, it’s likely that you have since the LNs came out over a decade ago when it might not have felt as derivative.

I love Natsume. I have a couple episodes left in the most recent season, but I am not looking forward to a super long wait again once I finish.
