  • While this is pretty hilarious LLMs don’t actually “know” anything in the usual sense of the word. An LLM, or a Large Language Model is a basically a system that maps “words” to other “words” to allow a computer to understand language. IE all an LLM knows is that when it sees “I love” what probably comes next is “my mom|my dad|ect”. Because of this behavior, and the fact we can train them on the massive swath of people asking questions and getting awnsers on the internet LLMs essentially by chance are mostly okay at “answering” a question but really they are just picking the next most likely word over and over from their training which usually ends up reasonably accurate.


  • So basically everything with a long ass title comes from the long ass title LN era. The TLDR is it became difficult to hook people on your book so they’d buy it so authors/publishers/whoever decided to more or less put the entire plot summary as the title. A good example is That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime. Lot of these are actually quite old, from what I understand titles are less stupid nowadays.

    Far as good isekai go Konosuba is definitely on the list, as well as the other 3 Quartet members (Re:Zero, Overlord, Tanya the Evil) plus Shield Hero though the story after the primary arc has so far been quite lackluster, also the season 2 adaptation is pretty crummy. I’ve also found The Eminence in Shadow very enjoyable, Cid is a very Ainz type stumbles into success type character which I quite like.

    If I had to chose specifically a long ass title isekai it’d have to be Tensura (that slime one from earlier) which I liked enough to read um everything. I’ve read the LNs, WN, Manga, Diaries spinoff, Clayman spinoff, Rabbit spinoff, and the Trinity spinoff. You could say I enjoy it quite a bit. The core of Tensura is not a battle anime but more along the lines of a city builder. You get to watch Rimuru slowly build a city, run into silly isekai problems and have fun isekai fights but really truly Tensura is about yapping. That’s not to say there aren’t good fights (though 8bit has kind of been slacking off when it comes to adapting them so far…) it’s just don’t go into it expecting your typical battle Shonen type shit. They fight sometimes but frankly speaking Fuse the author isn’t very good at writing fight scenes. It gets especially bad once the power scaling gets a bit out of hand where it’s pretty much just “Oh you’ve resisted my instant death move, that’s a shame I’ll have to use my instant death move V2 then haha!” “Impossible! How did you defend against my instant death move V2??” “Hmm yes it’s a shame, but, I have an immunity to death, you can only kill me with battle will…” and then they sword fight or whatever for awhile and one of them wins because they have more existence points. Being a bit dramatic but they get extremely samey after should be season 5? if we get that far

    Edit: oop. I thought I was on the anime thread I guess. Scrolled down a bit and saw what appeared to be a copy of this same post which is when I noticed, oh well. I’ve read at the very least the Manga for everything I talked about lol




  • There’s gonna be an oh shit moment for a lot of the supporters hopefully, but the actual people in power want the government to collapse. Their goal is to remake all aspects of the government as a private for profit business. The first steps in such a plan is obviously the destruction of public services like the Mail.

    The goal here is not actually to save money for the US government, it’s to make money from replacing the government with your own private businesses





  • I certainly read a hell of a lot more Manga than I watch anime though there’s not a lot of series I do both with. Just Konosuba (I read the LNs years ago) and Tensura (I’ve read all of it, WN, LN, Manga, Diaries spinoff, Clayman spinoff, rabbit spinoff, Trinity spinoff, wtf lol) really. Though it’s not too uncommon for me to really like a show like Apothecary Diaries and end up reading it. Course I’ve also been reading 100 Girlfriends but haven’t seen a single episode, I’ve got a couple series like that




  • It’s not really a problem. Frierens demons are explicitly monsters, not in the typical “different species” sense. They gained human language in order to better kill humans, Himmel tries to give a “child” demon a chance and she kills a family.

    I love me my “redeemable monster” types, that’s why we have stuff like Tensura and other shows where monsters are not inherently bad. In Frieren they are monsters, they exist to kill people end of story. I rather like the simplicity to be honest, it’s boring seeing Demon/Monster redemption arcs all the time.



  • I implore you to watch at least the first season (after that plot line is resolved there’s not much of a hook to stay engaged).

    Shield heros hook is at its core a revenge type story where the revenge is that the people who fucked him over are fucked over in very nearly the same way. The king and princess have their status revoked (they are now commoners) as well as their names changed to Scum and Bitch/Whore respectively. The with fulfilment here is not slavery, (Naofumi goes out of his way to rescue slaves) but getting back at the people in power who ruined your reputation knowingly because they simply didn’t like you. Once that arc ends there’s not much of a hook, the public sees Naofumi as the only competent Hero (which he’s always been), he has great party members and he’s slowly overcoming the trauma of being royalty fucked so hard by the royalty (beginning to trust people again). Honestly I cannot see the slave stuff going anywhere but Naofumi finally moving past his trauma and truly freeing his slaves as he no longer is so insecure about being betrayed again.

    Is that wish fulfillment? Maybe for you but my kind of wish fulfillment is more along the lines of Konosuba or Tensura.

    That is about as misleading as you can get Jesus.

    The slavery is werid yes but to TLDR MC is royally screwed over my by the literal royalty and quite literally his only option is to purchase a slave to fight for him (he can’t fight). She expects to be abused but he’s not a horrible person so she’s treated like a normal party member beside one occasion where he orders her to fight a monster dog which she struggles with due to trauma. He quickly resends the order and tells her to run away.

    Demi humans (like her) physically grow when they lv up which is somewhat strange but up till now hasn’t been used in a way to leer at her or anything like that. This is such a werid show to get into such a fuss about. Have you even heard of Redo of Healer? That shit is fucking vile
