Bibi is losing his shit more afraid than ever for his 🪑
It’s still a W for Iran 🇮**🇷**

Lately, Pakistan has been all over X and for not-so-wrong reasons.

The world is starting to notice some pretty fascinating stuff from Lollywood too. Soon our Shaan Shahids and Hamayun Saeeds are gonna be screened in IMAX in THE SPHERE Las Vegas🪭

When I first watched S1’s complete 24eps, it left me spellbound that such a delightful delinquent shonen show was crafted with meticulousness keeping the rules of time travel a fun yet rigid light trope that made it all the more interesting never letting the audience predict what’s there in store for them. The friendships of the OG Toman’s founders and their backstories felt organic and in natural progression giving the show a pace everyone could adjust to; feel and empathize with the emotional luggage accompanying them like Baji’s sacrifice, and Kazutora’s psychological denial of reality in the wake of the deep trauma by accidentally killing Shinchiro Sano— Mikey’s elder bro. It was by far the perfect foundation for the show back in 2021.

By S2 in early 2023, the show started to feel drifting apart a bit but not really off the track. Most of the elements still kept it in line with where the ending of the S1 had suggested. The whole Christmas Showdown Arc was okayish with 13eps.

But what I’ve really struggled with is the S3. The Tenjiku Arc didn’t really have the emotional depth that I was looking forward to & felt like there were a-lot of filler stuff put in even for 13eps like the backstories for all the new characters that were introduced with nothing to do with the original premise of the show. I didn’t feel much invested tbh idk it might just only be me.

This attached clip of the final episode in particular and the episode itself in general was it for me. Let’s hope S4 coming fall makes it worthwhile.

TL;DR: Loved S1, liked S2, struggled with S3. The series went from a tightly written, emotionally engaging story about Toman’s core members to a much larger cast with backstories I couldn’t get invested in. Tenjiku never hit the emotional highs of S1 for me. Hoping S4 brings back that spark. 🤞

This is my primary concern. Apart from Mikasa, take Armin. You can’t even recognize him from what he used to be in Wit Studio’s first 3 seasons (59 eps).

Some characters like Reiner have been polished and a subtle degree of detail has been added into his overall persona but that doesn’t change my point which is:

The contrast and darker pellets the said studio used are way preferable in the anime flow than the hazy tonal and aesthetic shift by MAPPA for what they call “gritty and nearest to the original manga”.

I don’t mean to discredit S4, I really don’t rather it is by far the epitome of the whole show preceded only by S3p2 (ep50-59) but there’s the thing with your brain being emotionally and psychologically in\\\*\\\*\\\*\\\*vested into the characters crafted and animated by Wit Studio that you can’t easily shrug off.

What do you guys think?💭

The attached image is that of my 16 pro max’s. Only yesterday had it dropped to 94 from 95. Took my dumb phone only couple of days to drop from 95% to 93% with only the 330ish CCs.

It took me 13 months from April’25 to May’26 to just cross 330.

Now consider the 2nd image for a rough comparison:

This is my friend’s 16 pro max. He says until 620ish CCs, it was 95% and then he sold it to his friend. Used for 13 months as well— from November’24 till December’25.

The friend shared this screenshot only yesterday and is at 711 with 92%.

Now some of you might suggest that original charger might not be used or that 20-80 charge bs or overheating usage bla bla to which wanna say: NO. It was not the case. Never.

Now tell me how on earth one makes sense of all this iPhone shittery of CCs and BH. I think it’s useless and outright dumb to obsess over such random and unpredictable a thing as CCs and BH. Period.
