More Edits:

I decided to strike while the iron was hot and continue re-reading and re-editing '100 Waifus' for the 29th time.  Now that I know what I want to do -- get rid of 'just' as often as possible -- I was able to isolate and destroy another plethora of them, covering chapters 1-23 which had received a lighter surgical treatment than chapters 24+ up until now.  I can't stand the word anymore, seeing it makes me flinch.  Because of this word the whole book is being pulled down.

Of course there are still reasonable places for the word to occur, I still use it over 600 times, but that's 400 fewer times than when I started so obviously they weren't all necessary.

I also very carefully went over chapter 17's physical descriptions and decided to change Isara's eye color from red to pink and Suguha's from black to gray.  Hopefully those are the last corrections I'll need to make for this chapter because I genuinely checked every dubious case to make sure.

Now, hopefully, I can read '100 Waifus' for the 29th time in peace.  I didn't get to enjoy the 28th time at all because the word 'just' kept popping up and ruining everything.  So here's my chance to read it the right way for real this time.

For my first ever full blu-ray watch of Fairy Tail, I'm now past the Grand Magic Games arc.  Only Tartaros, Avatar and Alveraz to go.  But that's still quite a few eps.  Technically the latest season of Shingeki no Kyojin is now available in blu-ray, but at such a bloated filesize as to be laughable.  I'll wait for a real release.

The new Evangelion movie is also available at nyaa.si, 'thrice upon a time.'  I do not count these movies as great, only good, i.e., 'watchable.'  To me the real Evangelion ended long ago.  But I still want to complete this long long journey like everyone else.
