Yup, using that extra hour and also going till 5

Saw this edit later.  If it's going that long I hope I can stay up for all of it.  I've been going to sleep and waking up at normal(ish) times (for me anyway) lately.  I'm DISGUSTED with myself. xD

it's become a heated subject on twitter that Krone is one of the most offensive modern depictions of a black person in anime

She looked worse in the manga.

I'm gonna watch the YouTube video that thumbnail is from later.

Isabella looked pretty weird in the manga too.  Maybe the way the both of them are drawn has to do with the horror aspect.

All in all I think I prefer the anime designs for everyone.

A pretty interesting article I found on this a while back.  I liked that the author complimented Kubo. :) She is right that Tosen and Yoruichi look normal.

Also I see now that there is apparently a Japanese live action Promised Neverland movie, and they cast a Japanese actress as Krone, and that stirred up everything all over again.

Though I'm not sure what they expected.  Even if Japan was more progressive, there probably aren't many black actors there for them to pick from.

Oh I just saw that Sara has bat wings haha.  Nice.

I want to look up to see if the weirdness Emma and Norman have going on with their hair means anything, but I don't want to get spoilers.  Emma has a stalk of hair sticking up on the top of her head and another on the back, and Norman has a weird horn shaped cowlick on the corner of his head.  Their hair is distinct for sure lol.
