got to admit the first season wasn’t exactly memorable

Yeah, it's pretty much mediocre from start to finish. Not horrible in any category, but the only thing that makes it stand out from all the other "loser is thrown out of adventuring party, then shows that he's actually pretty competent and gets a harem masquerading as a new party" shows of the past few years is the fact that they made a second cours of it (and now, apparently, a third).

though, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the resurrection potion

Loulan's words to Jinshi about people who have "already died once" being let off the hook feel like they almost guarantee it, but I guess we'll find out for sure next episode.

"Has never been higher" = "less than a fifth are okay with it, but hey, that's higher than 1%!"

If the problem is purely allergies, careful exposure to the allergens under controlled conditions should have some of them able to walk around without suits within a generation. Although they'll likely need to carry hayfever meds and epi-pen equivalents around.

. . . with GTK4 already out there. Anyway, I'll stick with menuconfig, since it's better for configuring a kernel on a system that doesn't yet have a GUI.

That they didn't have enough technicians trained in this to be able to ensure that one was always available during working hours, or at least when it was glaringly obvious that one was going to be needed that day, is . . . both extremely and obviously stupid, and par for the course for a corp whose sole purpose is maximizing profit for the next quarter.

The problem is, music lyrics in many languages aren't always representative of how the language is actually spoken—you can get tortured grammar or pronunciation and strange vocabulary that the artist chose to make a point—and depending on the type of music, it may be difficult to make out the words at all. That doesn't mean it's useless, but you have to be somewhat cautious with it.

Beryl's former students need to band together and get him some etiquette lessons if he keeps having to rub elbows with the royal family, or he'll sooner or later end up feeling terminally embarassed about something to do with a dessert fork.

My bet is that Gentoo will either cleave off just the necessary functionality from systemd and add it to logind, or produce the needed patches for Gnome.

Escaflowne - with modern animation and a full orchestra

Much of the original soundtrack was recorded by the Warsaw Philharmonic, if I recall correctly, so it's already had the full orchestra treatment.

I'd like to see Pumpkin Scissors and Zipang completed up to the ends of their respective manga (although Zipang was controversial enough that it might be really difficult to get it made). Likewise, Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi up to the end of the light novel series. And, just as an extra, it would be nice to see the last arc or two of Ghost Hunt make it to anime, although that would have to be an OAV as I'm pretty sure it would make six episodes max.

But . . . but that would put the "I don't care about series continuity" joke in the second OAV at risk!
