  • Isekai Isakaya - short miniseries about a western style restaurant that has its front door connected to a singular spot in another world. It also has little real life cooking lessons at the end of each episode.

    Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater - it’s one of the awwducational animes that I feel like the Japanese government pays for to introduce younger generations to traditional/outdoorsy activities. This one is about fishing.

    Miss Shachiku and the Little Baby Ghost - it’s just a moe so sugary sweet it hurts.

    Kuma Kuma Kuma bear! - it’s a fluffy isekai that doesn’t have any real stakes or anything too severe happening. I’m working through the light novel since I heard it finished… And honestly it’s all so pleasant.

    Ya boy Kongming - silly musical anime that just drops some three kingdoms lore into the modern day. I don’t recommend dubbed as they didn’t localize the rap battle towards the end… And also didn’t subtitle it.









  • I’ll take a stab at it.

    There are no known owl species that naturally grow up to 16 pounds. The rest of the numbers are just as meaningless.

    If you wanted to check what it would take for a random owl species to migrate across the ocean from europe to north america, that’s something we can kind of check.

    After a bit of lookup, it seems that the burrowing owl needs about 50-75 calories a day at rest to live, flight multiplies those calories by a factor of roughly 9.2 times. (I’mma round up to 10 because fuck it.) So 500-750 a day of pure flight at a speed of somewhere between 2 and 33 mph. I’m going to settle at 20 because I like easy numbers and I feel like it’s not too crazy fast. So 20 miles per hour across 24 hours gets us a distance of 480 miles. Iceland and Scotland are 500 miles away. Assuming any of these assumptions are at all fair, it seems like an owl hellbent on crossing the ocean could manage to do it with laser guidance in less than two days without access to ground based food.
