I can't believe they ended two episodes in a row on the same exact cliffhanger. This section of the story is the Akasaka-sensei's group-therapy session arc, it seems. For the other arcs in OnK, he had to do a lot of research and talking to people in each industry to understand them. This arc is one I am sure he is drawing from a lot of first-hand experiences with.
Oh, I wasn't expecting a comment of mine to be featured! @_@ Whenever I post a long one, I think I haven't reviewed it enough for typos and sections that were rewritten, leading to small writing mistakes. Sometimes I also wonder if I didn't say anything I actually did not meant. And looks like this time, at least, my paranoia was justified - I found it weird that chat didn't seem to get what I talked about regarding Re:Zero, so I tried Googling about the situation. Looks like I had a classic case of "confidently wrong eyewitness", because I found nothing about it. I kept it as vague as possible when making the original comment, not to spoil plot developments, but I'll go into details in the last paragraph (character are named, plot beat is mentioned), to explain what I remember. The spoiler-free TL;DR is that I vividly remember posts/comment about such case appearing in Reddit and Facebook, the latter case even being in my native language, but if it really happened, I'd likely have found it in my Google search, so it probably didn't. My brain is probably mixing the controversial developments of the show with an unrelated staff harassment incident. Corrections aside, onto the reaction! On AI, since most of my friends are artists, I have a very negative bias against it, as there's the problem of stolen assets and potential loss of customers to art that tends to be inferior, but satisfactory enough for some people. As a developer myself, I heavily doubt AI could ever become creative, at least in the near future. Essentially it just parrots stuff, which can be good enough for some cases (I even use it to help me code), but isn't great for art - AI doesn't understand what makes logical sense, it may apply the correct techniques, but it'll also make absurd mistakes, since there's a fundamental lack of rationality. Not to say it can't be ethically used for creative purposes - as you mentioned, you could make drafts out of it, but when the intent is, like in Abiko's case, to bring your very specific vision to life, it's really no better than a regular assistant. Also, AI has started inbreeding, using AI art for reference, leading to worse results, yet another limitation. Random stuff: The more I see people point out characters are likely on the spectrum, the more I think I am on the spectrum 🤔. The beer talk reminds me, just finished re-reading Girls' Last Tour, this time completely in Japanese. When going to tweak my score for the manga to a 10, I found out teenager me had rated it a 7, the audacity!! Re:Zero spoilers ahead, beware!! - - - - - - - - - - What I remember is that after Subaru rejected Rem, people got really upset at Emilia, Subaru's love interest. This leading to Rie Takahashi getting harassed. Again, I can't find anything about it, so I'm probably making it the eff up.

Our discussions are getting longer and longer...😅 I'm up for more beer controversy though 🤣
I saw a video where someone put "Template" over the Oshi No Ko' trailer. It fit!
