Rurouni Kenshin Remake strangely resorts to filler:

The manga was finished decades ago.  There is zero reason to 'slow things down' by adding in filler episodes so the anime doesn't surpass the original manga.  I've never seen a remake resort to filler before.  Not Sailor Moon, not Dragon Ball, not Hunter x Hunter, nobody does this.  This is a first in human stupidity.

I assume the Remake people didn't want to start the Kyoto Arc without finishing it, so they decided to waste all the remaining episodes of the current season.  But if they were going to do that, why not simply have a shorter season than usual?  Or at least they could have perfectly covered the manga and not cut scenes that were in the manga in the earlier episodes, which would have lengthened the real content into more episodes.

Anyway Kenshin is dropped due to filler, I'll start watching again when it gets serious again.  This immediately after a great run of eps 15-19 which were better than the original series because it matched the manga more accurately.  The twists and turns of life.

Meanwhile I promoted Myu 04, a FF Tactics song, to 5-star.  It's been there before, as I adore FF Tactics music, it's my favorite album.

I made a new Dracthyr character, the new race and class available in Dragonflight, and beat the first zone of Dragonflight with it.  The Evoker class is strongest in a group but I only play solo so he's been weaker than I'm used to, a real handful.  I also gained flight and completed the achievements for all the zones of Shadowlands.

Key is making a new visual novel, 'anemoi', which I'm sure will be great but I'm also sure we English speakers will never get to see or play, like every other visual novel, whether it's by key, Circus or August.

Mikakunin de Shinkoukei is ending soon, and it's actually being translated, so we'll get to see the ending too.  Not only is this a great manga but it features mai waifu Kobeni so I'll be glad to have full knowledge about her life settled and secured.
