Multi Season Mushoku Tensei: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu
So what your telling me is that "Yes, this season was in fact catfishing us with Eris the whole time just like they did last season" And the "interesting Eris content" you were referring to was an alternate timeline story followed by an, IMHO completely unnecessary, flashback of said alternate timeline story in which she is barely in.
Is that about right?
In all seriousness though I am a bit annoyed about the way this season has been structured. On the one hand I get it. Eris is probably my favorite character in this series but she's not the main character of this story. But I don't think there is much question this season and the one before it have been setting expectations of her involvement in this season that the story really haven't been able to meet.
I'm half joking when I call it catfishing but it kind of has been that.
I get it. Their adapting novels and I'm sure they're doing their best but it's kind of been a disappointing season for me. The slice of life stuff and side adventures are, I think, very important for world building in a good series. Acknowledging that, this has been a season all about side characters for the most part and pacing wise that's been dragging for me. Partly because they've taken some luxuries here with pacing. Judging by the fact that the ED animation is focused exclusively on those first 2 episodes with Eris, clearly they aren't unaware of what part fans like me were going to enjoy. But in reality this cour has basically been a slice of life anthology and her training was just one of those segments; and not even a particularly long one.
No doubt Nii is right and we'll get into something more substantive, as now it seems like it's got more of a plot direction going since episode 11 which provided a sort of framework for what's to come. And I can easily see why they wouldn't want to dive into all that until they have a full cour to deal with it properly but for this cour it's been pretty disappointing.
The fact that they had the audacity to do what they did and then put Eris on the see you next cour note at the end really twists the knife.
Not really sure how to rate this cour. On the one hand the quality was still there and taken individually none of it is bad. So maybe I should be calling this like above average. On the other hand this was a whole season of the kind of episodes you want sprinkled throughout something more captivating in order to give the world depth and this season lacked that so it just felt like it was meandering aimlessly until the cour was almost over. So I'm not satisfied by what I watched. I feel like I watched a filler arc which makes me want call it below average.
So I guess I'll give it a 5 out of 10

On Break One Piece Chapter 1194 Discussion
Welp..the guy have 900 years of experience...not to mention a young inmortal Body to make the best use of everething, he is quite the strategist too ,, not leaving behind his pawns, and buffing them non stop , to help him reach his goal.... (and cause it wont be good for him if they died, like Harald Did)Next chapter, flash back, build up to Zoro defeating Sommers. Afterwards, a week break, color page for chapter 1195 and story shifts to Sanji's fight with Quinlingham.
I suspect, this will drag out further since Loki's hybrid form was shadowed for a reason.
Imu in a way demonstrated how all 3 forms of Haki work in battle, since he arrived in Elbaf.
arrowofsky's Sky Photography
The weather is consistently wrong these days, so here are some Urban B&W works of mine, two of them from this week.
The following two are from the street I am passing almost everyday. It is highly inclined in it most part, so there are a few more photo ideas for this place, including an overview of the capital when climbed to its top.
Ok folks, I have a surprise: Someone lend me a Canon EOS 1100D DLSR !!!.

Ok folks, I have a surprise: Someone lend me a Canon EOS 1100D DLSR !!!.
A few days past to understand how does it work, and I took trial photos in day and night lots of times. Sure, hard to carry compared to the mobile phone we already do, but not that much, and it is so fun! At first, it was a let down that the photos were 12 MP at its max, while Samsung Galaxy A14 may go to 50 MP, but not only phone max MP, but also focus, (so called F1.8) is a bit tricky to interpret if it is in the phone. In Canon I have now, the lens is also F1.8 with 50 mm focal length (I have one more Canon lens with F2.5-3.5 numbers, but haven't experimented it yet), but the result was far cry:
Samsung Galaxy A14 F1.8 3.98 mm lens
Canon EOS 1100D with F1.8 50 mm lens
Of course, they are not the same, and I am still under the limit of what two equipments can achieve, especially in daylight conditions, but I would definitely prefer Canon now.
With Canon, I also took lots of gibbous moon shots, but they were not really satisfactory, though the Camera definitely sees dark/remaider phase of the moon as an orange part.
