It's a bluray extravaganza. Thanks to [Almighty] over at nyaa.si, the beautiful art of Hiro Mashima is now at its finest resolution and color depth. Another show well worth archiving.
Meanwhile, the new BanG Dream! season has been scheduled for January of 2025, so one year from now. A little long but better than all the announced series with no release date set. (I'm looking at you, Fairy Tail 100 Years Quest.)
Meanwhile, I got the Loremaster achievement in Dragonflight, meaning I've cleared all the quests/zones designed for levels 60-70 in the WoW expansion. There's still some max level solo content I could do, but what's the point? Any gear rewards I get will be invalidated by the War Within expansion which will have much higher level gear, and the new expansion is only six months away. It just feels like I'd be grinding away for nothing. It's true that there's infinite stuff to do in WoW, but whether there's infinite fun stuff to do is another question.
I'm over halfway through the Buu arc of Dragon Ball Kai Recut. Sadly most of the filler this version is cutting is cool fight scenes, like how Vegeta vs Goku was much shorter, while all the dumb Mr. Satan scenes are pristinely intact. I'll admit they mercifully reduced the amount of Goten/Trunks content for which I'm thankful, and of course all the filler eps about Gohan's high school life are gone which is nice. Still, there's just no saving this arc. The villain is dumb, Mr. Satan is dumb, and the heroes also keep making dumb mistakes which allows Buu to keep winning long after he should've been defeated. The only thing I can really approve of in this arc is the art and Videl. Even this shortened version really drags. But I've come this far so I may as well finish the rewatch.
Meanwhile, I finished the appendix portion of Aiyoku no Eustia, aside from 'job-hunting diary' which for some reason is grayed out and my save doesn't qualify for. Close enough to 100% completion, though. Now I can say I've fully beaten this visual novel, which is true of all 25 of my hall of famers. I don't tell other people to consume material I don't consume myself, all my ratings are verified.
Meanwhile, the US debt passed $34 trillion, which is still nothing compared to the $70 trillion shortfall we've promised in Social Security and Medicare once the Baby Boomers retire. And while this is going on we're passing gigantic $1.5 trillion military spending bills in order to wage war on the entire world for no real reason, as no one has attacked America in ages. It's so absurd and surreal. People have to work hard for an hour to earn $7.25 in this country, and yet we just throw trillions down black holes like they're nothing. Do the people earning these meager pittances realize how pointless their labor is? How little respect the government has for the money they've earned? We could work for a thousand years and never repay the US debt. Soon enough the interest on the debt alone will be higher than all tax revenue combined. Then what?
