Another villain POV series, but this one takes the form of a gag comedy, with what was probably a 4 panel gag comic, turned into a series of skits per episode.
As in all gag comedies, don’t expect sakuga animation sequences.
The voice actor for the villain is great! And he should be, because he gets the most dialogue, and the story hangs on his character’s POV.
Basically, the theme is “don’t bug me on my day off” that should be relatable to 9 to 5 working people.
I read the manhwa too, and so far it’s being faithful, and it was nice touch to have additional explanations of this world up front graphically animated without being talky.
Good so far.
Yes, I also agree that a double episode premiere would have been more effective, because we haven’t seen what this story is really about.

I think you’re misunderstanding what the article is saying.
You’re correct that it isn’t the job of a system to detect someone’s skin color, and judge those people by it.
But the fact that AVs detect dark skinned people and short people at a lower effectiveness is a reflection of the lack of diversity in the tech staff designing and testing these systems as a whole.
They staff are designing the AVs to safely navigate in a world of people like them, but when the staff are overwhelmingly male, light skinned, young and single, and urban, and in the United States, a lot of considerations don’t even cross their minds.
Will the AVs recognize female pedestrians?
Do the sensors sense light spectrum wide enough to detect dark skinned people?
Will the AVs recognize someone with a walker or in a wheelchair, or some other mobility device?
Toddlers are small and unpredictable.
Bicyclists can fall over at any moment.
Are all these AVs being tested in cities being exposed to all the animals they might encounter in rural areas like sheep, llamas, otters, alligators and other animals who might be in the road?
How well will AVs tested in urban areas fare on twisty mountain roads that suddenly change from multi lane asphalt to narrow twisty dirt roads?
Will they recognize tractors and other farm or industrial vehicles on the road?
Will they recognize something you only encounter in a foreign country like an elephant or an orangutan or a rickshaw? Or what’s it going to do if it comes across that tomato festival in Spain?
Engineering isn’t magical: It’s the result of centuries of experimentation and recorded knowledge of what works and doesn’t work.
Releasing AVs on the entire world without testing them on every little thing they might encounter is just asking for trouble.
What’s required for safe driving without human intelligence is more mind boggling the more you think about it.
The moment those Chinese EV startups enter the US market, Tesla will be in real trouble if they don’t have their product quality image problem fixed by then.
It’ll be like Detroit’s Big 3 automakers tanking when small fuel efficient Japanese cars landed in the 70s oil crisis.
Assuming those Chinese EV companies don’t have their own quality problems…
There’s the famous One Punch Man workout
Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru?/How Many Kilos are the Dumbbells You Lift? is kind of about getting into better physical shape.
Yama No Susume/Encouragement of Climb is a CGDCT series, about the characters’ growth as they get better at hiking and tackle more challenging mountains. Also great because of portraying real-life Japanese hiking locations. Start with the 2nd season because it’s in a more traditional 30 minute episode format.

Best episode of the season!
While the boss battle was

slightly disappointing, with more tao bullshit, the deus ex machina of Senta showing up with his dying breaths, and just the lack of motivation and intelligence by the boss to stay alive, it seemed like just another shonen boss battle.
The

mind-fuckery at the end about Gabimaru’s past
was the best part. It might be

true, it might not, and spreading self serving disinformation seems to come easily for the kunoichi, so it could be just another of her mind tricks to get an advantage over her current companions.

I’d forgotten all about C/FO because it had been such a long time since I’d heard of them.
It was really local groups who organized anime showings on college campuses who kindled me to take a more serious interest in anime.
Tape trading is where those groups from the 70s and 80s got their imported show from, but tape trading happened in all kinds of media, e.g. rock concerts.
Often we’d wind up watching 3rd or 4th gen VHS copies, i.e. grainy, washed out with bad sound, because we were so far down the chain.
