Edit: yet more setup, a little violence, some new characters.
I'm getting real tired of the laziness of showing how "good" an anime character is by having them buy a slave and then treat the slave well.
If slavery is "bad" in your view - as evinced by the fact that the MC finds it distasteful, criticizes the system, and can be portrayed as "good" for not treating their slaves as bad as everyone else - then don't have the MC use that system for monetary gain!
I was down on this show after ep 1, up after eps 2 and 3, and now I'm finding my opinion drifting back down.
I'd been aware of Jojo since the '90s, but I never got into it until accidentally watching just one episode: Battle Tendency #16, "The Birth of a Superbeing."
I think Tokyo MX was running the first season again due to Stardust Crusaders starting up that April.
I was just channel hopping and happened to catch it right at the start, but I was hooked immediately.
After that I watched season one from the first episode, then re-watched it once Stardust Crusaders was done... and then re-watched it 2 more times.
We're on our 5th re-watch right now and I can't say for sure that there won't be more after this -_-;
We blew through three or four other Reijou shows this season, now I'm chomping at the bit to see how this one turns out.
Edit: a little light on character development, but a satisfying first step on the stairway to vengeance!
The story seems like it could proceed as either a Shakespearean tragedy or a straight revenge story equally well.
Definitely a different beast from the, well, punchier reijou shows that have come out recently.
Yeah, but they were promised those cameras would come down with mysterious "technical issues", and bro broke that trust! /s
"Felony Eavesdropping" is that like "Ninja'ing With Intent to Distribute"?
I mean, if we're just making up obviously bullshit charges now...
Gonna watch this at lunch!

Casting Hishikawa Hana and then having her do her best Mao Mao impression has to be intentional, right?
Outside of as an animated screensaver, I don't see how...

It's fascinating to watch the love octagon around Seiroku getting filled in.
I so wanted to discuss the return of certain fan-favorite ::: spoiler spoiler Fullmetal Alchemist :::
characters on the latest episode, too!
It's immoral because this is how you get an RFK Jr. It's disgusting for the same reason.

Oh, yeah, Sawako is the poster child, to my mind.
Houzuki-sama... mostly.
For reasons unclear to me, SimCity "2000" came out in 1993, vs 1997 for WinAmp.
Earliest I can recall is Sim City 2000, but spoofing overly-serious progress bar info probably didn't start there...
...is probably the title of the isekai version of this story, coming next spring from Cygames...
Just watched this, and the opening scene was almost identical to May I Ask for One Final Thing?, down to the hair colors.
I guess 2026 is just the Year of the Gray-Haired Punch Girls....
But it wasn't believable.
No one should have believed it.
People falling for the "scam" aren't fooled, they are buying in to an ideology that they want to support.
