I love it! It feels like a Checkov's minigun firing smaller Checkov's pistols.
I don't know how it all ties together yet but I'm excited to find out. I'm guessing the reason you feel like something's off is probably because there are multiple disconnected threads that don't cleanly fit together, and that makes it seem a bit... scattered?
Durarara also gave me the same vibe (it's by the same author) since it also started seemingly scattered and then each plot thread collided in the latter half of the season.
I made a couple of posts about it here as well. Hopefully there will be more active discussion threads for future episodes.
Yeah. As much as I want to abandon Reddit completely if they go through with this, I'll probably be forced to use new reddit and the official app because most communities probably wont migrate at all. There are many niche communities that I'm subscribed to, like related to a specific anime/LN series that's not too big.
There are many but a few that come to mind that I've been browsing a lot recently are:
r/KumoDesu : The final volume (volume 16) is coming out on the 20th and I've started rereading the series. I actually finished reading the WN a couple of days ago (I love this series so much asdfaklmsv).
r/IsekaiOjisan : Just plain fun
r/Mashle : Not small but still one of my favourites. I don't watch shonen a lot but this is a great manga.
I've considered hosting a couple of fediverse (and nextcloud) servers before but servers are expensive 😞
I mainly want an exact alternative to r/Anime and r/Manga for the episode discussions and I also want r/WritingPrompts and r/Animemes because those are my gotos to kill time.
I watched a little over one season of Honzuki no Gekokujou and I didn't find too interesting tbh (I only watched that many episodes because I was really bored at the time). It just felt like a "base building game" (I can't think of any other analogy for some reason). Is there something I'm missing, like the anime not adapting the source material well? Because I see a lot of people who like but I can't seem to understand why. To be clear, I don't think it's that bad but it seems more popular than it should be.
Looking back I'm not sure what I meant by base building game here. I usually use that to describe Tensura (I don't like it personally. I dropped it after 1 season. It felt like there wasn't any threat or anything interesting to work towards in the plot).
In the case of Honzuki I think the reason I felt bored was because the goal of the plot felt too vague. But maybe I'll give it another try because apart from that, I 100% agree with all your points.
I've recently decided to switch out my Playstore apps for Open Source Apps as they're usually Ad Free and much less bloated. Can we use this thread to help people find open source android apps?...
How's your experience with a Linux phone? Any major issues or minor annoyances? Do you use waydroid for any Android apps? I'm considering switching but I'm not sure yet.

Reddit mods are organizing blackouts to protest against API changes (www.reddit.com)
Some of the planned blackouts will be temporary, others plan to shut their subreddits down indefinitely in protest.
