I noticed some hitching that I hope gets worked out, but otherwise it ran smoothly for me.

I was totally reading this title thinking it was extending the shelf life of all foods generally and stuff, then they drop “Sponge Cake” in there instead. 🤣

I’m right there with you. Maybe us THPS fans all just have a “fuck the man” mentality and refused to buy from Epic. Then again, this game never got cracked, either…

Based on my research, the first season of the Netflix live action show (8 episodes) covers the first 61 anime episodes. At this rate, the live action show could still continue for 17 more seasons.

In all seriousness, the more I think about it, the more perfect this anime was for adaptation. There’s a ton of filler in the anime, but otherwise good story beats and character development. When you condense that down, you get all the good and leave out the cruft.

I watched all of the live action show this weekend, and really enjoyed it. I figured the anime tone and goofiness that they clearly baked right into it would work against it like all the other live action anime adaptations, but it feels like it’s a lot less of a quick cash grab than the others. Some real love and attention went into it and it’s a lot of fun.

I’m not advocating for ignorance. We should still be as informed as we can be. Optimism and pessimism show up when there are unknowns.

It’s ultimately best to be correct and happy, which is achievable, just not if you’re pessimistic.

Because it’s all for you. You’re protecting yourself from disappointment.

Time almost always proves you correct, and very occasionally, you’re pleasantly surprised!

But what about everyone else around you that you care about? Being pessimistic tends to wear on them and simply for personal gain.

I’d rather be wrong than unpleasant.
