1500-1599 Recap Part 77:

Janet Silversweater became a child and might be the best blend of her parents genetics of her siblings. 

Philippa had her son Kei as Parnell, Thomasin and Elric arrived in Windenburg.

Parnell expanded her business and fell in love with Daryl Akiyama I SAID IT BEFORE THESE AKIYAMAS ARE EVERYWHERE. I wouldn’t be so annoyed about it if they weren’t constantly coming out of the woodwork there’s no end to them and I didn’t keep track of who each of them are related to lol. My real issue is with my perfectionism really. 

Anyways, Elric died which I know is right before the Plague. 

Sarah’s twins became toddlers.

The Newberry Legacy - Generation 2

Continuing on with visiting the children and their children. Last episode we went to see the twins Tiara and Tori, where Tori passed away nearly immediately of old age. Leaving her son without a mother. Sage and Simon took temporary custody while they tried to find Bentley's father.

We have Addyson and her little family. Rudy & Daryl who were fathered by Malcolm Landgraab. She married Pierce Delgato and they are currently expecting a baby.

Addyson's twin sister Gianna with her current husband Brandan Hudson, her daughter Brittney (who is fathered by her twins current husband, Pierce Delgato), and is currently also pregnant. She also has an adult daughter who was the very first grandchild and is living on her own - Sasha, who was fathered by Malcolm Landgraab. Those girls share too many men.

Violet with her family. She had a fling in early young adulthood and had Troy (father must have been purged), and then married Rahul Chopra - her brother Boston's father.

She has a daughter Jewel and is expecting her third.

The fuck is this family.

Waylon with his wife Kaori Nishidake, his stepdaughter Justine and their son Darion.

Zoe and her husband - Taku Akiyama with their daughter Annie. Also expecting baby #2.

Everyone is dying all of a sudden so excuse the sad faces. I am skipping Tre as he recently passed from freezing.

Juliana and her daughter Shantel. She is single and currently NOT PREGNANT.

All of these are Leonardo's children with various women.. He must be a mailman like his dad.

Aubrie and her son Isiah - also single.

Aria and her husband Christian Bjergsen with their daughter Rosemary and is expecting more as we can see.

Tiara and all the single boys live together. What a weird big sister.

Tiara: "true dat."

Bentley with his dad, Dennis Goth who we tracked down to take custody over, as a boy should be with his dad if able.

Poor Dennis was very upset to hear about Tori.

The last four kids of the first generation and all their traits.

Year 1590 Part 1:

As they planned Parnell and Daryl married shortly into the new decade a few days before Margaret turned thirty-five. While there wasn’t any pressing need to try for a child, Parnell did find herself longing to have one after the marriage was official considering that she had been helping with her nieces and nephews for quite some time. 

Katherine and Elizabeth celebrated their first birthday and while each girl seemed to take after one of their parents, Ambrose was more than happy to appreciate both of his new grandchildren. 

[sweet-vanilla-sims]

Year 1589 Part 3:

The next few months Parnell spent less time at home with Thomasin and Elric but establishing her business and spending time with Daryl. 

Eventually by the end of the year after he had discussed the matter with his son, Daryl asked Parnell to marry him since she got on well with him and his son. Of course, Parnell agreed and they decided to have their wedding at the start of the new year. 

[sweet-vanilla-sims]

Year 1589 Part 2:

Florence then had her thirteenth birthday followed by Janet’s sixth right before news came in that Sarah had delivered twin girls, Katherine and Elizabeth. Then Ambrose celebrated his fifty-third birthday. 

Thomasin, Parnell and Elric decided to stop in Windenburg just in time to get news that Philippa had another son named Kei. 

The snow was too thick to travel further for the time being so the sisters decided that they might as well get settled into Windenburg for as long as needed. Parnell was happy to make connections throughout town and unlike in Mt.Komorebi the people in Windenburg were more receptive to her business to her delight. 

But she was also drawn in by a resident with an odd name, Daryl, he mentioned that he had grown up in Mt.Komorebi but decided to travel until he settled in Windenburg with his son when his now teenage son was a toddler. This only proved to make him a more attractive partner to Parnell since he already had a son he wouldn’t press her for additional children when she only wanted one. She was growing a bit anxious about marriage since she was getting older and having no children already wasn’t making her a very good potential bride anyways.  

[sweet-vanilla-sims]

Surviving Family:

Talia’s eldest child, Thomas Carlisle married Isabel Goth and the couple had six children before Isabel’s death. Anthony, Andrew, Agnes, Adam, Allen, and Arthur. Unfortunately both Adam and Allen passed away as children. After Isabel’s death, Thomas remarried Margery Thorne and the couple had two sons, Adrian and Ambrose. Adrian had six children together with Samara Ernest; Margaret, Roger, Thomasin, Parnell, Philippa, and Catherine. Unfortunately both Roger and Catherine did not survive to adulthood. Adrian also had a daughter named Cecily Markovic with Tomi Markovic and he had twins, Audrey and Maria, with Julian Laurent though his daughter Audrey did not survive. 

Cecily Markovic(pictured first) had four children. Her oldest Barbara died in infancy and the twin of her only son, Mary died as a toddler. Her surviving children, Matilda and Lawrence are pictured beneath her. 

Maria Laurent (pictured under Matilda and Lawrence) married Bernardo Soto and their twin boys were born after her husband’s death. Her oldest son, Bernard, died as a toddler while her other son, Benedict, is pictured beneath her. 

Parnell is the oldest of Samara and Adrian’s triplets and she is pictured beneath her nephew, Benedict. Parnell married Daryl Akiyama and together they had one son. Since Parnell has only rolled one kid, Philip will be her only child and he is pictured beneath his mother.

The Eminence in Shadow TV Anime Reveals Its Reincarnated Main Cast

  While we may have already seen the isekai'd characters of The Eminence in Shadow TV anime in action in the first teaser trailer, the main cast for the adaptation of the Daisuke Aizawa-written and Tozai-illustrated light novel was announced today, giving us a name to the voices to the characters we'll be meeting in 2022.

  Seiichiro Yamashita (Raiden Shuga in 86 EIGHTY-SIX) is voicing Cid Kageno

    Kana Hanazawa (Nadeko Sengoku in Monogatari) is voicing Alexia Midgar

  Yoko Hikasa (Mio Akiyama in K-ON!) is voicing Iris Midgar

  Kazuya Nakanishi (chief animation director on Darwin's Game) will be directing The Eminence in Shadow at anime studio Nexus, with Kanichi Kato (Black Clover series composer from episode 153 to170) providing the scripts, and Makoto Iino (Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies moved to a starter town?) adapting the light novel character designs for animation.

  The original The Eminence in Shadow light novel is written by Daisuke Aizawa and illustrated by Tozai, with four volumes currently released in Japanese. Yen Press releases the series in English, with three volumes currently available. Yen Press describes the first volume as such:

  Even in his past life, Cid's dream wasn't to become a protagonist or a final boss. He'd rather lie low as a minor character until it's prime time to reveal he's a mastermind...or at least, do the next best thing-pretend to be one! And now that he's been reborn into another world, he's ready to set the perfect conditions to live out his dreams to the fullest. Armed with his overactive imagination, Cid jokingly recruits members to his organization and makes up a whole backstory about an evil cult that they need to take down. Well, as luck would have it, these imaginary adversaries turn out to be the real deal-and everyone knows the truth but him!

  The Eminence in Shadow TV anime is scheduled to start sometime in 2022.
