Highlights from yesterday:

1) The way how Land done this exam was truly surprising to u/Magnafeana:

I nearly choked on my rice, hold the tuck up, he never left his hometown?

Land is amazing. But I have so many questions.

I’m just…gooped, gagged, and flabbergasted that he was in his hometown the entire time. Part of me thinks Übel suspected it once she saw how powerful his clones were. But he’s not even pressed, not sweating—he’s having tea while doing this. I’m assuming something was important for him to not leave home, or someone is trying to kill him.

Interesting fellow, isn't he?

2) Even u/tripleaamin agrees Serie is a tsundere:

Serie is truly a tsundere.

3) u/Ukhai adds with the following statement, as justification:

Also think it's a pretty common elf trope. Proud, long living.

4) Fern's staff restores is straight up a scene from Land of the Lustrous, according to u/JustAnswerAQuestion:

Fern's staff repair was intensely familiar but I couldn't place it. It was of Phosphophyllite being put back together, one tiny sliver at a time.

Dear rewatchers, please be nice to the first-time watchers or the manga readers to the anime-onlies by simply not spoilering anything. But if you want to discuss spoiler-territory things, use spoiler tags instead. Thank you for your understanding.

Welcome to the weekly Anime of the Week Discussion Thread! Each week, we're here to discuss various older anime series. Today we are discussing…

Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo • The Girl Who Leapt Through Time

Makoto Konno is in her last year of high school, but is having a hard time deciding what to do with her future. In between enduring the pressure of her teachers and killing time with her best friends, Makoto's life suddenly changes when she accidentally discovers that she is capable of literally leaping through time.

Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo follows Makoto as she plays around with her newfound power. However, she soon learns the hard way that every choice has a consequence, and time is a lot more complicated than it may seem.
