#39: Ichigeki Sacchu hoihoi-san (comic and ova) Imagine buying robot vacuums from competing companies and they fought each other every time they turned on. Also their little booties squeak every time they take a step.

#38: Ghost in the Shell: The Human Algorithm Interquel set between Human-Error Processor and Man/Machine Interface, 108 chapters of section 9 handling 3 big cases. Shirow not involved, but the artist and writer are very competent. Togusa (sans mullet and looking 10 years younger) is the main guy.

#37: Ghost in the Shell Complete Works The OG manga feels like a TTRPG campaign in a good way. 1.5 is more of the same but the Major is missing for most of it. Man-machine interface is the Motoko Show, with a lot of mediocre CG backgrounds and cyber-chunibyo abstract technobabble combat.

#36: Ghost in the Shell (rewatch) Going back to this movie with the original manga and the new anime in mind, what a miracle adaptation this was. Huge cuts and rewrites to the story, the major is a completely different person, and it still delivers something good and memorable.

Taking them around town

at one point I need to finish reading the title for NagaiTatoru, which is 196 pages long and entirely written in title text/syntax. Apparently there was going to be an anime adaptation that was entirely rendered as an opening

#35: The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses (anime) It has one joke that it keeps finding new ways to play. The girls hate eachother, want to kill the hero, the hero is too strong and dumb to be injured by their attempts or pick up on their hostility, he grows on them and the girls start to bond.

she hit you with the

had a 4ma the other day

That's why she's the best!

#34: Märchen Crown (caught up) Wild amounts of gore and sexual assault for a shonen jump manga. The art is spectacular but really be warned that violence against women (attempted/implied, not shown) is a primary sauce in this stew. Love can be a sickness as well as a strength.

Ojii sama ga Iku/An oldman in counterworld Isekai where a grandpa saves the day with wisdom and gentleness. God is kind of a boyfailure bishonen, its fun.

there was a marvel book that just dropped 3D models of Tau Hammerheads from warhammer 40k onto the page. Apparently eldar grav-tanks also make an appearance.

so that's why they called it that in ghost in the shell

the main difference between organisms and machines is if the little guys inside them are tiny pipecleaner looking dudes hauling around a ball of lipids or little fellas in sneakers toting buttoncell batteries

It's nice that she has two moms.

Changes direction with a light touch Squeeze to stop him in his tracks Spot you can flick to have him make noise

brought to mind someone making a tier list for stuck-in-a-wall positions/scenarios

sometimes I think about how a common element of bodyarmor these days is a strap on the nape for someone to grab and drag you around. This gear is wasted on fighting wars

#32: You Can't Escape from Mizudako-chan! (caught up) Weird girl romcom in a world of demihumans. Solid execution and the art gets real good in spots. As more demihumans get added to the cast it doesn't feel like the main relationship gets diluted, which can be a struggle for this genre.

KEEP ADDING COUNTIES

#31: The Chrysalis Heart (new manga) Genuinely crazy this is running in Shonen Jump. An age-gap confinement romance where the younger girl summons a demon who raised as a lab experiment for a year to live with her in the human world without his powers. He immediately starts acting like a housewife.

'years of lead' include or even exclusively encompass state violence, and by that metric the US can be said to have decades of lead under its belt.

#30: Warframe 1999 A solid story to introduce a new tileset and enemy types. The visual novel/dating sim elements are an interesting way to explore and elaborate on the Drifter as a character.

filling my glass with some

In addition to a sling, could be worth looking into an adjustable arm support for your desk, you set a height and it glides around as you move your hand

#29: A Wild Last Boss Appeared! (manga, caught up) Art and action are pretty great, manages to find ways of having fights that aren't just squash matches. Pacing and escalation remain good, and we get to meet some real freaks starting immediately after the anime ended.
