after all these years, Hatsune Miku is finally becoming an anime character (outside of just being a funny cameo). don't take that statement too seriously, i'm a long time vocaloid fan who's had to explain that she isn't an anime character many times :D

For those of you who wonder like me why there is no Tensura this week, apparently this was known prior, for "programming schedule reasons". Tensura #63 will broadcast next week, July 19th earliest.

There will be another break on August 9th, and #65.5『閑話:ルミナスメモリーズ』(Side story: Luminous Memories) will be broadcast/streamed instead of #66 that week.

Tonight (2200 JST) the normally 5 min 転スラ情報局 (Tensura Information Bureau) program on BS11 will be extended to 30 mins to fill the gap. Okasaki Miho (Rimuru) will be the host and Numakura Manami (Hinata) and Toyoguchi Megumi (Raphael) will serve as guests and talk about the first half of Season 3.

  • One of the government's justification for the practice was "It was lawful at the time". Now the Supreme Court ruled the law was never constitutional.
  • The Supreme Court also decided that "statute of limitations" does not apply so plaintiffs can still seek compensation.

This problem stems from この先 being able to mean “ahead from here in space”, or in time which (mis)translated to “the future”. Without proper context (that it is a sign on a road) the translation software had to make a guess, and it guessed wrong.

It may be possible to infer from 前へ行く in the second sentence that it is more likely referring to space than time, but I still think it is possible to construct some similar sentences which even humans might misunderstand.

From video description:

TV anime "Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian" will be on air from July, 2024 in Japan! We will annouce later, about start date of streaming in other countries except Japan.

【Introduction】 Alya-san, who sits next to Masachika Kuze, always gives him the cold shoulder. However, she sometimes blurts out a few flirtatious words to him in Russian. Masachika never misses a word of it. That’s because Masachika has native-level Russian listening skills! Alya-san, who thinks he doesn’t understand and sometimes blurts out words of affection. Masachika, who understands the meaning but pretends not to. Where will their love story which keeps you grinning take them!?

I think she hoped Frieren would have changed since last they met and become the kind of mage she likes, but Frieren being Frieren, disappoints her again.

However, Frieren revealed, it was that spell Serie dismissed, the spell that produces a flower garden, that ultimately ended up conquering the Demon King.

I wonder who Frieren fought 80 years ago that forced her to use that special magic technique…… Oh.

Acute subdural hematoma... isn't that usually caused by head injury? Did Toriyama-sensei bump his head somehow?

In any case, rest in peace Toriyama-sensei.

Reproduction of copyrighted material would be breaking the law. Studying it and using it as reference when creating original content is not.

I’m curious why we think otherwise when it is a student obtaining an unauthorized copy of a textbook to study, or researchers getting papers from sci-hub. Probably because it benefits corporations and they say so?

If Meta win this lawsuit, does it mean I can download some open source AI and claim that "These million 4k Blu-ray ISOs I torrented was just used to train my AI model"?

Heck, if how you use the downloaded stuff is a factor, I can claim that I just torrented those files and never looked at them. It is more believable than Meta's argument too, because, as a human, I do not have enough time to consume a million movies in my lifetime (probably, didn't do the math) unlike AIs.

But who am I kidding, I fully expect to be sued to hell and back if I were actually to do that.

As far as human is concerned Frieren was alive before reliably recorded history, and will go on to live so long for generations to come. To see her commenting "Elves are on a slow decline to extinction" I first feel sad, and then realize it'd be so slow it would be unimaginable to me.

Frieren will probably live at least another 1,000 years. Will Frieren still be alive in 10,000 years? Will she have overcome elves' lack of passion at least once and have an offspring during that time? If so, will her offspring goes on to live another 10,000 years? If elves will be going extinct, it'll still be a long, long time in the future.

EDIT:

Next week will be the episode with the same name as the series title: "Sousou no Frieren".

One of the (many) things that I really enjoy about this series is its portrayal of demons.

I haven't seen this portrayal before Frieren, it is an intriging idea, and I think the author did a convincing job with the example of the demon girl, that it is totally not the "yesterday's enemy can be tomorrow's friends" trope you see in so many other novels/mangas/animes.
