  • So looking at the title: Literally translated “towa” is eternity, “yuugure” means dusk or twilight

    Of course we now know Towasa is the name of a character, but the construction of her name means “eternity-ness”, i.e. “having the quality of eternity”

    I think Towasa is not a common Japanese name, so I think it’s a very deliberate choice by the writer(s).

    You figure that’s going to come in sometime.

    While we’re on the subject of names, Akira means “bright,” “clear,” or “intelligent” (which he certainly is) and can also mean “wisdom,” “strength,” or “enlightenment”

    According to this

    The name’s etymology reflects core values in Japanese culture, where clarity of thought and brightness of character are highly esteemed qualities. Akira emerged from classical Japanese naming practices that often incorporated aspirational qualities parents wished for their children.


  • Wow, that was really good, even the “will they or won’t they” mini-arc of scenes that I usually hate.

    The animation and art weren’t super high quality, but writing was good.

    Oddly enough, I found that the AIs were the most interesting character(s), differentiating themselves from the stock protagonists, as a whole, even if the AIs were not as identifiable as individuals.

    I’m hoping that Dove, and maybe the smart speakers, survived the apocalypse and find out what happened to them.

    The brief interjected scenes of a POV moving down the narrow pedestrian walkways seemed oddly foreboding, and seemingly unrelated to later events.



  • Umm, yeah, as others have said this season does look bare compared to the last 2 seasons that I managed to sit out…

    So this forthcoming season, I’m planning to watch:

    • Ganglion - About a combat minion in an Evil Organization, because I love this kind of thing
    • One Punch Man S3 - Even though I’ve read ahead in the manga and know where it goes
    • Sanda - How silly can an action show about the Santa clan get?
    • Towa no Yuugure - Mostly because PA Works, but this sounds absolutely fascinating.

    Maybe:

    • Campfire Cooking S2
    • Catch up on what I missed these last 2 seasons
