I thought Frieren was still better at suppressing her mana.
Although, Frieren did state in an earlier episode that Fern was faster at getting off spells, which would definitely be an advantage here.

Not everybody wants to subscribe to a community dedicated to a single seasonal show.
I know I actively avoid those communities for works based on a manga, because they often have spoilers show up by way of fanart/etc/. It’s just not a suitable place for general discussion of a currently airing anime.
Sure, that’s kind of tangential to the point I’m making. Something can reflect transphobic ideas without explicitly being about trans folk.
I’m curious how these modern takes on One Piece will deal with the Okama and related characters (assuming they get that far!)
I haven’t read the manga, but the anime at least comes off super-transphobic in how they’re played for laughs at times. I think that’d necessarily be cut from the live action version, but less hopeful about this for another anime adaptation.
I’ve always read that it’s because many light novels started online, and the way they were listed meant you needed the title to really grab folk’s attention.
(I actually really like this particular anime; the animation is often iffy but art and story really appeal to me!)
One kind of interesting twist on that is Fincher’s The Game. It remains unclear until the very end of the movie whether the main character is in a convoluted game where people are pretending to conspire against him, or an actual conspiracy using the game as cover.
They also tended to say the changes made it ‘hard to follow’ or ‘ruined the pacing’ or other things, but as an anime-only that just flat wasn’t true. I actually really loved the kind of elliptical feel of the story in S1.
I honestly kind of felt that source readers were border-line brigading posts about the anime on reddit. It certainly didn’t make me any more inclined to check it out!
You should probably have made some of the questions optional – “distribute a 100 points” is just not something I’m going to bother thinking about.
Bofuri is surprisingly good! Not in any way serious in tone, since it all takes place in an MMORPG, but some good action scenes, especially in the first season.
Pretty sure it’s completely kid friendly (no fan service or other anime weirdness.)
One issue I’ve seen is that the bot’s empty posts tend to flood out other more interesting stuff from my main feed.
I’ve thought about removing the community from my feed for that reason, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.
I think Shield Hero and Goblin Slayer have mixed review because the content/story is much more mature than Frieren.
Hmm, the former two shows always seemed extremely juvenile to me.
I’ve watched four this season:
it seems to kind of match the manga’s art style, though.
Here is some previous discussion on whether to defederate from them due to worries about moderation capacity: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/1671319
This is such a shitty way to frame it.
I think folk should default to neutral pronouns, especially in trans safe spaces. But phrasing a failure to do so it as “misgendering trans people” is jumping straight to the most absolute bad-faith interpretation.
Then further, saying that anyone who does it is “a transphobe” is way off base. (It reminds me of Contrapoint’s bit about essentialism)
It’s also notable to me that you’re not asking for e.g. any change of policy here. You’re not trying to improve the way this instance is run to discourage folk from using masculine defaults.
You’re using this incident only to wage war against someone you were already in conflict with, and assuming that anyone who steps in and criticizes your behavior is taking sides in that conflict.
I can’t think of anything less trans-friendly than mandatory pronoun marking.
I quite liked this quote from Isabel Fall (more about identity than pronouns specifically, but still related!)
“We make boxes that seem to enclose a satisfying number of human experiences, and then we put labels on those and argue about them instead,” she says. “The boxes change over time, according to a process which is governed by, as far as I can tell, cycles of human suffering: We realize that forcing people into the last set of boxes was painful and wrong, we wring our hands, we fold up some new boxes and assure ourselves that this time we got it right, or at least right enough for now. Because we need the boxes to argue over. I do not want to be in a box. I want to sift through your fingers, to vanish, to be unseen.”
I think it’s a weirdly over-the-top response to the situation described here: https://www.polygon.com/23823516/dnd-dungeons-dragons-wizards-ai-art-controversy-bigby-presents-glory-of-the-giants
Ok, so the MC gets iskei’d into their own Mary Sue story, but as the villainess… now I really want to know if the author based it on something they wrote in middle school!
