A basic update

Well shit. I did not want to release non-content but this time I have to. Revision classes have started so I have to start sacrificing more of my free time to my books. That said, I will attempt to continue my look at Pillars of Eternity and make a part 3 as soon as possible.

I will also state what anime I will be looking at for this season namely Sakamoto desu ga?, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress and Kuma Miko. The first for something similar to One Punch Man in terms of comedy, the second for the steampunk aesthetics (while praying it does not end up being lame like Attack on Titan) and the third for unexpected curve-balls in comedy. 

As for last season's anime, I will say that my faith in Konosuba was well rewarded as it wound up being quite entertaining from start to finish. The writing is nothing spectacular but a solid piece that kept me entertained whenever I found time to watch it. My negative views on Aqua are still justified but now I am rather fond of Darkness and Megumin as characters since there are depths to the characters. Kazuma is still an arse but I would not be surprised if that did not change as the jerk with the heart of gold routine may be necessary around a bunch of scrubs in Konosuba.

Erased rushed through its ending but compared to the manga's overly drawn out confrontation across a rope bridge (I shit you not), this ending may be a lot better. I am aware that some people are rather angry that Kayo not ending up with Satoru which is rather immature since Satoru does not even mind it. He's simply grateful for the fact that she got a life and a chance to recover from her past abuse in this timeline when in the original timeline, she was murdered and the abuse she suffered from was never uncovered. As for her, she does mention waiting for Satoru for a long while but had to recognise the possibility of him never waking up; a rather realistic portrayal of being in love with a coma patient and the risks of said love. At least, Satoru still ends up with someone from the original timeline that he found again.

Now, back to work.
