games and movies that invent their own rock bands AND make music for them are the only ones truly Committing to their cause. cyberpunk and alan wake were so real for this
I went to Tommy Arnold's site (the illustrator of the Murderbot and Locked Tomb covers, among others) to see if he had a textless version of the System Collapse cover art and I saw THIS????? Murderbot art I've never seen before?????
Titled "Network Effect, Three Scales the Plateau"
ITS THREE!!! AND ITS SO COOL!!!
Anyway here's the site go check out his portfolio its full of cool stuff

EDIT: I was wrong, Tommy Arnold is not the Murderbot cover artist, Jamie Jones is! I was confused because Tommy Arnold has done a lot of cool Murderbot art, but not the covers! Important distinction.
The Dark Horse of fall 2024: 7th time loop, ep 3 review
This anime is definitely the one to keep an eye on this season! Only 3 episodes have been released and it continues to surprise me with the quality content it is offering.
I cannot describe how pleasantly surprised I am seeing the entire dance sequence animated. You can really see the time and effort they put into it. Just like the sword scene in episode 1, they went over and beyond with this one.
Every moment is beautifully drawn. From Rishe's clever hand moments to Arnold's subtle facial expressions....
It actually looked like a dance battle for dominance that Arnold won. It also reminds me of that Frieren's scene where Fern and Stark dance.
Anime Original Scenes from LN
I also loved the fact that they're animating LN scenes. Like, the wine scene when Rishe was conspired to drink a spicy wine was actually a part of LN and cut from the manga.
It shows some background characters and gives more context to why Rishe was standing alone in the balcony, after the ball dance. Arnold X Rishe scenes were also great. The cinematography, the voice acting, almost everything was pretty spot on.
Rishe choosing her maids was also nicely done. Imagine the horror.... the person you've been treating as a rookie maid is now the crown Princess who'll decide your faith. Good for her that Rishe is a decent person and she got a teaching job instead.
Looking forward to the next episode for now!
Popularity:
Remember my prediction about '7th time loop' being the new 'My Happy Marriage'? Well, it's coming true....
This is WEEK 2 and it's already in #04 spot!!!
To think it jumped 5 places!!! It's just week 2 and it is already competing with the likes of Solo leveling, Dangers in my heart and Sign of Affection, that already have a very solid fanbase. With 'Dangers in my Heart' having an entire season of fan-following and solo leveling being one of the most hyped anime of the year!!
Plus, in Anime Corner it was #02!!!
Just behind DIMH and beating Solo leveling, it jumped 8 freaking spots!!! Also beating Apothecary Diaries and Frieren!!!
Just 2 more episodes back to back like these and it will be #01 in no time.
i want you to know that you produce some of the most gorgeous and perfect Murderbot Diaries fanart i've ever seen - your costuming is rich and textured, you illustrate scenes right out of the books as the text describes them, and most especially of all you don't show SecUnit's face.
Thank you so much!! I saw this early in the day, and it really made my day!
Murderbot doesn't describe much of the fashion in the series beyond "grey jacket" or "caftan," so there's a lot of freedom to design something that could be sci-fi, book accurate, and visually appealing.
Today, I went to visit Ella the Harpy's bookshop to confirm the prophecy of the quest for Lady Diana. The fact that while the legion was busy searching into the increased monster population and sending teams at the skirts of Mt Othrys the Greek demigods were there, right next to us, saving Lady Diana from Atlas and the Titan army. Makes me wonder how many opportunities for the two camps to meet.
On the way back I came across Pranjal, who was going to post a few packages to some friends. Upon sight, he told me he didn't know why the confiscated files on the Titan army medics were destroyed. Rude. I didn't even ask him this time. Though; maybe I should buy him coffee later to apologise for pestering him repeatedly.
