I used my boardgame here.

I finished 6/6 from my last PTW challenge and it went mostly great. I didn't get enough Dr. Stone so it might be my reward.

Ron from Kamonohashi Ron no Kindan Suiri
Skill: Move one extra tile once (beat trap tile if you roll an Odd)


Roll #1:

A 9, prompt: longest titled. There was a tie between two, I picked Fairy Ranmaru: Anata no Kokoro Otasuke Shimasu.

Roll #2:

A 2, prompt: martial arts. I really don't have a lot of martial arts anime on any list but I went with Ninja to Gokudou since I've heard good things about it! From what I hear it's enemies accidentally bonding over something together without realizing it, and there's more underneath what they bonded over as well.

Roll #3:

A 4, prompt: European element. The only one on my CW list is Delico's Nursery, I don't know where it takes place but the ambience is there.

Roll #4:

A 7, prompt: witch/etc. Slayers ig though not sure how I feel about the new chars yet.

Roll #5

A 9 and using skill to go one extra tile. Prompt: contemporary. I think Babanba Banban Vampire counts even though there's a supernatural element since it takes place in modern times.

Roll #6:

A 7 and right to the end. Reward: Dr. Stone!


Anime PTW List:

[Action/Fantasy] Fairy Ranmaru
[Action] Ninja to Gokudou
[Vampire/Mystery] Delico's Nursery
[Sword & Sorcery] Slayers
[Comedy/SPN] Babanba Banban Vampire
[Sci-Fi/Adventure] Dr. Stone

Episode 3: New character Ruri, a serial killer and a famous idol. When Shizuo punched her dressed up as a zombie, she landed near Kasuka, who took her in and had Shinra look at her. He didn't call the cops even knowing she's a killer.

Simon knows that assassin Egor? Shingen hired him to kidnap Ruri to experiment on her.

So Ruri only kills certain people. And she has some kind of power.

Lol the one sister kissing the other who was panicking about Kasuka being taken.

Ruri found out there were a lot more 'monsters' than she thought.

Episode 4: "I don't want to not be able to live with Shinra!" Aw, Celty.

So the armor was something from Ruri and Egor was possessed by Saika?

Lol at Kadota picking up a flailing Mikado and throwing him in the van.

I said 'oh shit' aloud when that thug made Shizuo drop the coffee. Tom crossing himself!!

Seems like Kasuka/Ruri is official or close enough.

Wow, lots of the characters gathered for hotpot! Lol imagine the chaos if the Orihara sibs were there.

Aoba's going to try and take on Izaya of all people? His 'former name' was Izumii?

These two episodes were kind of confusing the way they went back and forth in time.

Well, I'm perfection when it comes to indiscretion
Might fuck around and just succumb to my aggression
I taste blood and it’s turned to an obsession

Used my manga TBR boardgame.

I finished 6/6 on my last board, It was kinda meh because there was only one manga that I really liked. I've been reading a lot more manga than usual because I feel too shitty for other things like watching things. 😩

[personal profile] bluapapilio
 

Read ch. 6-7 of Shugo Chara!. I wanted to read more but it's denser, maybe because of all the characters??

Reread the BL Happy Yarou Wedding β™‘, 6->6.5 stars

Finished the BL Renai Renrei and rated it 9/10!

Read the geikomi oneshot Akuma no Kare, rated it 2/5. There was no emotional component, just porn.

Read the oneshot A Story About a Boy Scouted to Be a Model. Too short to feel satisfied. Good art though. 1.5/5

I reread the BL Alcohol, Shirt & Kiss and rated it 6/10.

Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!
