This was a super cute chapter.

I guess getting a doctorate in paleontology is kind of like becoming a Dino Doctor…

I am really interested to see how their relationship changes as Naruto’s departure closes in. They are each pursuing what they want to do, but by doing so it’s separating them. It’s the kjnd of real life, adult issue that isn’t explored often enough in manga (usually because everyone is just stuck in high school).

Guess we’ll never solve this one…

After season 3, we are going to be almost exactly 3/4 the way through the manga, so you wouldn’t have much left and could probably knock it out super quick. I know the manga ending gets lots of shit from people, but I really don’t think it is half as bad as its reputation. When the final chapter came out, I wrote my thoughts about it at the time (spoiler warning).

That said, the anime has been an absolutely stellar adaptation; the kind that I could have only dreamed of. So, I don’t blame somebody for wanting to experience the anime blind, because it has been excellent from beginning to end.

I don’t remember any others this season.

Ah, you might be right about this. I hadn’t thought about them dropping support for the .ass sub format.

I think what is going on here is an anti-piracy measure. When subs are delivered in a separate stream in the browser, pirates with the proper tools can save them separately, making it easier to redistribute as a video file with a range of subtitle options. By hardcoding them, CR is basically making a prospective pirate’s redistribution life harder because they need to do a separate video for every sub language (or go to a different source).

I think the main thing that soft subs offers is that you can customize size/color options in the player. When they are hardsubs burned into the video, then you no longer have that ability.

Not as much as Campfire Cooking iirc. Extremely minor spoilers ahead:

Basic story structure

A pattern that happens a lot in what I read is that Rin is doing cooking/chill things at the RV while her companions are off doing adventuring things, and then she has a big feast when they get back incorporating ingredients that they went and adventured for. There are some moments when she gets mixed up in things, but it often happens off the page in the manga version.
