🫐 couldn't help but notice while watching the new Masaru-san video that in this little joke-y interlude where they freeze frame it, play a jolly tune and caption it, that there's a conspicuous blank circle where you'd see し to make the phrase しんだ！？, and even though we're far from fluent in japanese you learn pretty fast that し shi means death, so yeah it looks like you can't do that in japanese youtube or they get you too, even as a joke.

aaa I hate modern online and everything needing to be censored!!! the video's fine, everyone knows what the joke was meant to be, the english captions didn't even bother censoring it there, so it's so annoying to see. the video's absolutely ridiculous and fun but this specifically gets to me. I was enjoying seeing the funny fisherman frying a 50kg fish in an oil drum and risking serious burns but had to stop to share this. absolutely ridiculous.

The dialogue between Mae and Osha is SO fucking stilted for some reason. It lacks so much. It's using language that both actresses are struggling to make sound genuine and 'their own'.

Conversely, the Sith's dialogue all feels on point. No spoilers since his identity is revealed, but it's pretty good.

Also god damn if the fights aren't top notch. There haven't been lightsaber fights this good since Phantom Menace, tbh. Some absolutely brutal kills, too.

Also, the helmet and vambrace seem to disrupt lightsaber blades, which is dope! Reminds me of Legends Cortosis, altho that's just Beskar nowadays. It's used cleverly in the episode too. Like, the stunts are tooooop notch. The fights are fast and don't have TOO many flashy-wouldn't-connect-at-all swings, which is real nice. Lots of arrogance and mindgames on display in the fighting, which is really good to see.

It's not enough to really elevate the show up to Good - they still haven't gotten past the key issue where everything except combat and the Villain's dialogue feels cludgy and stilted, especially Mae and Osha, but it's got enough legroom that it should hopefully end alright.

Sad about who dies this ep. We'll see where it goes from here.

has anyone noticed on android firefox on genius.com sometimes the 'e's look weird?

i've seen this so many times. i looked up the e once - it's not an english 'e' it's cyrillic letter 'ye'. so i asumed that maybe people with a weird keyboard are typing and somehow get a weird e or something. and like 50% of genius contrinuters do this.

but today i posted lyrics and the lyrics i posted myself have these 'e's in them.

either my laptop or genius themselves is doing this.

what is going on? what's up with the 'e's?
