I forgot Nico Nico was also a victim of this.

Agreed. I do feel a bit sympathetic towards VISA for that being sued over their relation with Pornhub thing (which some speculated is what kicked off all of these), but I do not think it justify such a reaction. In any case, such power that enables some lackeys to unilaterally decide what is acceptable and what is not for a whole country's creators should never exist.

 

Also see this English post about the Japanese Senator visit.

Context: In the past year there were pressure from VISA and Mastercard on shops selling content that can be considered adult; several sites tried to appease them by imposing restrictions on creators, but ultimately VISA and Mastercard stopped doing business with them (or vice versa), thus stopping those shops' ability to accept those forms of payment.

DL.Getchu.com is a Japanese shopping site for doujin manga, and was one of the shops that stopped (or was forced to stop) taking VISA and Mastercard. (Others shops include Toranoana, DLsite, FANZA doujin etc.)

People were concerned about these issues' impact on the freedom of expression. Several days ago, Japanese Senator Yamada Taro went to VISA HQ and confronted executives there. According to him, he was told (machine translation from the news article) "VISA headquarters does not make value judgments on the content handled by each site, etc., and if it does, it is at the site*. VISA also reported that it has never instructed them to stop handling content that contains specific terms (keywords)."

*at the site: the Japanese word used was 現場, on-site where the action happens, as opposed to far away in the back office or executive suite. Meaning if such judgments happened, it was done by somebody far lower and removed from HQ, or so they claimed.

A few days later, DL.Getchu.com announced that it will accept VISA again. It is unknown if it is related to the above, or if other sites will follow suit at this time.

In case anyone cares, it was not solely luck from his skill that Masayuki crushed Orthrus so smoothly, Yuuki basically took advantage of it and set him up. I thought it was more recent but it was episode 59 (S3E11) that Yuuki planned it.

after all these years, Hatsune Miku is finally becoming an anime character (outside of just being a funny cameo). don't take that statement too seriously, i'm a long time vocaloid fan who's had to explain that she isn't an anime character many times :D

 

Voice actor agency INTENTION announced today on July 31 that Kenichi Suzumura, who had gone into a break due to health issues since May of this year, will resume work. The agency was co-established by Suzumura himself in 2012. [……]

I was somewhat confused if "a Tengu is the incarnation of an angel in a wolf's body" and not a race that Momiji can be born as a Tengu because biologically she would be just a wolf. Well we don't know if / how angels reproduce so perhaps that's why it took many years for her to be born.

I don't remember the fate of Kaede but perhaps there's a way to prolong her life? Tempest has extra magicules to spend (the dungeon is full of Veldora's) but we don't know if magicules capacity can be expanded easily (it happens e.g. in naming or evolution).

Milim was shocked! shocked! that Ramiris is now living with Rimuru. But Shuna was effective in stopping their bickering by threatening them with no sweets.

@[email protected] :

Rimuru had to endure 3 days of audience with various races around the area who would potentially rise against him if they judge him too weak. However they quickly fell in line after Shion demonstrated her strength against Daggull's three sons, who each were at the energy level near unawakened Clayman.

The elves in this series did not seem very haughty like in other lores. There was a problem with some of their folks missing which Rimuru had some idea about.

They will get to the Tengus next episode which we'll presumably learn about Benimaru's sufferings according to the title.

Thanks. Have only watched 1 ep so far, will let you know if I need threads for other eps.

Question: Must episode numbers always be in sequence? Netflix seems to number them from 1 again for this season (so ep 13 is ep S2E1), is that something this anilist API / rikka would be able to handle?

Bon got his first assignment as an Official Time Patrol and proceeded to make the same rookie mistake: not turning on his forgetter. He also could not resist showing off his awesome time powers to Yumiko, which also served as something akin to a recap of Time Patrol's tools and abilities, as well as a cameo of Ream. The Time Patrol had given Bon some time off since last episode's happenings, so Bon felt nostalgic seeing her again.

Yumiko of course wanted to become a Time Patrol after the experience. Seems like her wish would be fulfilled too and we'll see her assisting Bon in the coming episodes. Buyoyon also came back and joined them.

It is a pretty good manga, except for the fact that Inoue-sensei got into a slump and put it on hiatus for years already.

If the Studio do animate it, I wonder how they would handle that the manga not having an ending.

The guy that made that Chuunibyou move "my eyes hurts when I use their power too much" then hurt them for real by looking at Rick was hilarious.

We found out Rick's mentors (one in particular) deceived him into thinking he was weak. Well at least he realized he was "stronger than he thought" now and knew now people was far less discipline than him can already be A-ranked. We'll see how he'll do with this information.

Depends on how much time he spent training with those time magics, Angelica might be correct in calling him "around 40".

An examiner used the most powerful magic known to mankind in a low-rank exam and nobody blinked an eye?

Everybody is weak when you compare them to Saitama…… Having said that, I just realized that Rick basically one-punched Raster.

Noor knew about the warrior job but he didn't know what one looked like? I wonder how long this show is going to keep him so dense and information somehow not getting to him.

Also, was the King living in just a large house? I thought at first they were just visiting the town and that was where they stay when I saw the not very fortified looking gate, but it had a throne chamber.

For those of you who wonder like me why there is no Tensura this week, apparently this was known prior, for "programming schedule reasons". Tensura #63 will broadcast next week, July 19th earliest.

There will be another break on August 9th, and #65.5『閑話:ルミナスメモリーズ』(Side story: Luminous Memories) will be broadcast/streamed instead of #66 that week.

Tonight (2200 JST) the normally 5 min 転スラ情報局 (Tensura Information Bureau) program on BS11 will be extended to 30 mins to fill the gap. Okasaki Miho (Rimuru) will be the host and Numakura Manami (Hinata) and Toyoguchi Megumi (Raphael) will serve as guests and talk about the first half of Season 3.
