more psycho-pass, i’ve started doing it earlier in the day to see if that helps me get through it quicker and honestly the pace seems the same but we’ll see. i think part 2 is significantly more difficult than part 1 and would probably be a nightmare without prior context started a reread of リアル vol 1 in prep to read vol 2 cos it’s been months and i can’t remember shit
February 19
The Legend of Heroes Trails from Zero
I finished the prologue and started the first chapter right away. Two well known characters appeared. Now we will need to go out hunting for some monster attacking people.
Finished vol 1 of ホリミヤ!!! monumental for me, first manga I’ve ever read completely in Japanese. This journey is interesting indeed. I’m glad I joined it
Man, I am not doing well with remembering to post updates so far this year!
At least I still remember to read though!
February 16th!
Started ルックバック with the BBC
February 17th!
A chapter of 葬送のフリーレン
February 18th!
A chapter of 鋼の錬金術師 - finished volume 5!
Despite being 5 volumes in, this is definitely still far above my reading level, but I’m enjoying it anyway. I’m glad I’ve both read it before in english, and still have my english copies to double check that I’ve understood stuff correctly - or I’d definitely be lost a lot of the time.
Only presented one piece of evidence in the 蘇る逆転 but as it lead to an explicit つづく felt justified in stopping for now. Big twists and turns on the horizon. Hopefully I wan’t have to see that bloody video again.
Continuing 少女漫画じゃない… it feels so… comfy… it feels almost like I’m cheating lol. I mean there’s still words I don’t know, but the lines are just flying by…
Finished the first case/story in 八雲 ! If I focused only on this book I could probably finish it fairly quickly. But there are so many other books to read…
Didn’t do any reading today until almost 10pm… that’s okay. Got a decent chunk done after that. Life feeling all a bit life-ish and too much. I got a lot of studying in earlier at work in amongst everything tho! Plus I finally am able to watch Netflix again now. Got some fun stuff tomorrow, then on Sunday and Monday I’m gonna grind out some reading.
more psycho-pass, and it was the sibyl system reveal so it was really hard loads of technical terms and references to look up. not every day you see シナプス可塑性. also the second significant diversion from the anime canon where there’s explicitly a lot of extra cyborg bodies of various people being kept alongside the brains and the bodies work because the brain is reinserted back into them. in the anime it only seems to be kasei and there’s no implication that elsewhere in government has been replaced (tho this does massively complicate the whole criminally asymptomatic thing) (as far as i remember anyway)
