    Summer 2022 Overview - Yeah! or Meh?

    Ahh, Isekai Meikyuu de Harem wo. I picked up and quite liked the light novels at first. Why? Because they were quirky, and different. A bit of a smutty guilty pleasure. A completely unique take on the still rare "isekai" genre that had started to show up from time to time. Had the anime aired...

    Post-move sale of manga (including some rare ones), DVDs and a few light novels

    Hello all, I've never done this before, so bear with me if I'm slow with the process. There's a few things which I'm not sure how they work. I'm also not super active on this site any more. I recently moved house, and this has shown up the amount of stuff I have that I don't really want any...

    General Politics Thread

    Well maybe, if it was a nationwide list. But the only country I know of that has a nationwide list with open PR is the Netherlands (they have no threshold either which makes it even more extreme). More likely I'd expect most constituencies would have 6-10 members each, which would keep the...

    General Politics Thread

    The easiest way around that is to have what's called an open list, which is where you make it so that rather than just voting for a party list, you vote for a specific candidate within the list. There are lots of countries around the world (Open list - Wikipedia) that use open list PR rather...

    General Politics Thread

    You're in Sheffield? That makes things make much more sense. But all the Labour gains realistically possible on parliamentary level from the map being redrawn away from the Lib Dems have already happened. Everywhere left the Conservatives are the only possible winners. Twickenham, Richmond...

    General Politics Thread

    If you think destroying the Lib Dems would hand Labour ANY of the Lib Dems current seats in parliament then you're living in cloud cuckooland. If the Lib Dems were destroyed then every single one of those seats would go to the Conservatives, and not by a small margin (except Caithness etc...

    General Politics Thread

    A long standing and highly effective strategy of the Conservative Party at all levels has been to allocate money to those that they want to vote Conservative and cuts to those who they either think will not or think will do so regardless. In the past, the North (being in the "not" category)...

    Ten Years Ago…What Were You Watching in 2011?

    2011 was the year I started watching anime properly, but was also therefore the last year in which I didn't watch any series from that year... until 2020. So the things I was watching that year were watching Inuyasha, Naruto, Bleach, Code Geass, Haruhi, Clannad, all of which were enjoyable (or...

    The News Thread (for news that does not need a thread)

    These things are all true, but it's also worth bearing in mind that written Japanese is a much more compact language than languages using variants of the Latin alphabet are. By far the main reason reason why titles in English tend to be so short is because once you get more than 3 or 4 words the...
