Sounds like a job for flex tape! /s

3 million abandoned wells is wild. I had assumed that most of the methane pollution in the US was from industry or cattle.

Then they would all drive diesel trucks with modified exhaust and floor it between stop signs

Could you explain?

DEI isn't just a dog whistle for racism, it's also sexism.

Yeah, the lack of emotions is definitely a defence mechanism against the traumatic memories. It's nice that they're exploring this topic

I'm pretty sure it applies when you're around men who are not immediate family.

There's also "air fry", which is just an aggressive convection oven

I didn't like Season 1 as much, I think because the story was scattered around introducing so many characters. I also agree that ecchi is a turn-off for me, but I liked the concept, characters, and production value enough to stick with it.

I think the strength of the 3rd season onwards is that it relies more on the established cast, rather than introducing a ton of new characters all the time.

So, can I pick this up and just start watching? Or is there another series I should watch before this?

I disagree. I had to stick with it through Season 1 and 2, but I got hooked and ended up binging Seasons 3 and 4.

Dungeon People and Parry Everything look like they'll be pretty good, but otherwise, I agree

This episode is a serious tearjerker! Great conclusion for the series, I'm glad we get to see adult Kumiko continuing the legacy
