  • Gutting defeated/ousted manager’s projects is an obligatory and unavoidable ritual in corporate environment. Competent or convenient employees are pulled into other teams, pesky/unconvenient ICs are fired since everything can be pinned on the loser. Projects are often dismantled - even profitable ones to remove any possible foothold for a comeback. Shit, now I want to write a corpo book but styled like high school biology textbook.





  • Frieren is just so awkward, first she looks at Flamme and then squats to copy her.

    Honestly Richter just gave them a good advice. Also note the shape of his “too complex” spell.

    But she planned to hurt you without killing you.

    We call it a reward over here.

    Denken "I wanted to visit a grave"

    Lied as naturally as he breathed.

    Compare the complexity of Frieren’s spell to Richter’s.

    Denken never misses an opportunity to advance his cause by holding Richter.

    Their nod/smile to each other after both pass is so cute.

    I liked everything in this episode except for Serie’s male voice which I hated. She deserves better.












  • Loved how most of the episode is spent on the hype build up. Like when the scales are introduced it becomes pretty apparent that they are going to be used and that Aura won’t like the results. But we really spend time on why Frieren hides her mana and why it won’t ever occur for demons as a valid long-term strategy. And so by the time the scales come into play we are absolutely hyped for the result. Which is followed by immediate and complete dismissal. Frieren has no interest in demons besides killing them. Even when presented with someone pretty high in demon hierarchy, Frieren does not care for any information or giving any orders, besides killing them as soon as possible.

    Also that decapitation scene is just great.

    A few years ago people were talking about convergence of phone/desktop, i.e. you plug your phone into a big screen and keyboard and it’s now your desktop computer.

    Mobile apps are shit for that. Sure, my phone is powerful enough to browse internet, play video and music but on desktop with mouse/kb it’s just weird and funky. And I’m not even talking about any productivity software which is straight impossible.
