Louie watches Haikyuu!! Season 1 Episode 23

Honestly, I’m tired and I wanna take a nap, but I would feel odd not continuing with the schedule...

I live for this overdramatic “we need to win at all costs” when you know they’ll lose.

I swear, I always die a little on the inside when the “aw yea” from the opening comes on and Oikawa does his serve. It’s so beautiful.

I swear, every now and again they draw the ball hitting the floor but pretend it didn’t happen.

You can actually see Battery do some setting early on in the game when you pay attention to it.

(I really shouldn’t call him that, they only messed that up once).

Oh look, it's the pretty serve from the opening!

“Sometimes the playing ability sinks to 70%, but sometimes it rises t 120%.” Takeda hunny, that’s not how percentages work.

Lmao, the two adult audience guys whose name I should definitely know just angst about the being too much volleyball to play, meanwhile Hinata’s will to play volleyball can only be stopped by death alone.

I always liked Seijo, but I never fevered this much for them.

“I knew that an attack from the middle would have been the best choice, yet I almost played to Hinata.” That’s called being super gay.

“I almost fell for him myself, he is the strongest bait bird.” Nuh, he’s the hottest twink is what he is, that’s why you’re so enchanted by him.

YAMAGUCHI DON’T GET JEALOUS THAT’S BAD LUCK!!

YELLLINNGGGGGGGG!!!!

Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope Nope, no good luck balls for me thanks.

“Yamaguchi, show what you can do.” Not much then lmao.

When Daichi told Yams that he would score next time we both cried at the same time.

Coach Ukai: *throws Yamaguchi to the wolves so that his natural adorableness may awaken the teams protective instincts and give them new will to play*

God, these ‘last points’ are so tense its legit hard to breathe...

Nishinoya, in a genuine attempt to be uplifting and for some reason succeeding in it: “Don’t shit your pants!!!”

Kags sports a point against Seijo through sheer boyfriend powers.

Alright, folks, it was another wonderful episode of Karasuno almost losing, looking forward to tomorrows drama and weekend long cliffhanger. Big shout out again to my good friend @viomelo for providing this series with some much-needed traffic and exposure. Thanks, bro ✨ I hope everybody who sees this has a good day and gets too see some sunshine,

Manga the Week of 8/26/20

SEAN: The end of August, a time when most people think back on the good things about summer. Like manga!

ASH: At least some things were good!

SEAN: We start off with Ghost Ship, which has a 3rd volume of Destiny Lovers.

J-Novel Club debuts Monster Tamer (Monster no Goshujinsama), which comes from the Monster Bunko label, so it’s a specialty. The plot sounds like Arifureta. A lot like Arifureta, honestly. Perhaps a bit less dungeons and more forests, but…

They also have the 4th Demon Lord, Retry! and a 3rd manga volume for Sweet Reincarnation.

Kodansha has quite a bit. In print, we see Drifting Dragons 5; Fire Force 19; In/Spectre 12; Rent-a-Girlfriend 2; and Wave, Listen to Me! 3.

MICHELLE: I’m happy about Wave, Listen to Me! but mostly can’t wait ’til the end of September, when volume four (with material I haven’t already read digitally) comes out!

ANNA: I’m also happy about Wave, Listen to Me!.

ASH: Likewise! I’ve also been enjoying Drifting Dragons.

SEAN: Digitally the debut is ASHIDAKA – The Iron Hero (Tekkai no Senshi). This has been getting a simulpub release, but now the first volume is out. Hope you like metal arms. It runs in Monthly Shonen Magazine, and appears to be very old-school shonen. I’m hoping for big eyebrows.

ASH: Heh.

SEAN: You can also enjoy digital volumes for Abe-kun’s Got Me Now! 3, Altair: A Record of Battles 21, Guilty 6, Hotaru’s Way 15 (a final volume), I Fell in Love After School 7, Kounodori: Dr. Stork 16, Love Massage: Melting Beauty Treatment 6, Waiting for Spring 13, and When We Shout for Love 3 (also a final volume).

MICHELLE: I think this was originally the final volume of Waiting for Spring, too, but now there’s a fourteenth one with side stories and bonus content. In any case, I’m reading a bunch of these.

SEAN: Seven Seas is still doing the “yay, we can print books again!” thing. No print debuts, but we get Accomplishments of the Duke’s Daughter 6, Akashic Records of Bastard Magical Instructor 9, Arifureta Zero 3 (manga version), A Centaur’s Life 18, Magika Swordsman and Summoner 13, My Room Is a Dungeon Rest Stop 3, Neon Genesis Evangelion: Anima 3, Non Non Biyori 13, and Re: Monster 5. A lot of those had their digital version out already.

ASH: I’m not following many of these very closely, but I am glad to see print starting back up again.

SEAN: Digitally there are some debuts. Sazan and Comet Girl (Sazan to Suisei no Shoujo) is a done-in-1 omnibus from LEED Magazine’s Torch, and, despite being a LEED publication, does not appear to be in the style of Golgo 13. It’s a sci-fi story. It’s also in full color.

ASH: I’m curious about this one, though I’ll likely wait for the print volume.

MELINDA: That sounds interesting.

MICHELLE: It does!

SEAN: In light novels, we have The Saint’s Magic Power is Omnipotent (Seijo no Maryoku wa Bannou desu). An OL gets summoned to be the Saint… but gets rejected. Now she’s trying to live a slow life, but it quickly becomes apparent that maybe she is a saint after all.

Also digitally we have Adachi and Shimamura‘s 3rd light novel, D-Frag! 14, and Monster Girl Doctor 6.

Square Enix gives us The Misfit of Demon King Academy 2 and Suppose a Kid from the Last Dungeon Boonies Moved to a Starter Town 2 (manga version).

Tokyopop has a 2nd volume of Koimonogatari: Love Stories.

Vertical has quite a bit. They haven’t publicly announced most of it, but given it’s there on their web page for all to see, I don’t feel guilty talking about it. They’re debuting some digital NISIOISIN novels. We get Owarimonogatari 1 & 2, Katanagatari 1-3, and Zaregoto 1-3. This would catch us up with the print releases… except they’re also putting out the 4th and final Katanagatari omnibus in print only. Oh yes, and a 4th Bakemonogatari manga volume in print.

They also, in non-NISIOISIN products, have The Complete Chi’s Sweet Home box set.

ASH: I still really love Chi’s Sweet Home.

MELINDA: Same.

SEAN: Lastly, Yen has some titles that slid back a week. Including The Garden of Words, the latest Makoto Shinkai multimedia emotional gutcruncher novel. Yen On also has Goblin Slayer 10, which is… not a Makoto Shinkai title.

ASH: Nope. It most definitely is not

SEAN: On the manga end, Yen debuts Fiancee of the Wizard (Mahoutsukai no Konyakusha), a Kadokawa title from one of their shoujo fantasy magazines. It’s a reincarnation isekai, but with a female lead, and is based on an as-yet unlicensed light novel.

MICHELLE: This seems pretty romance-heavy, at least by its description: “When a woman is reborn into a world of swords and sorcery as a young girl, her new life takes a turn for the fantastic as she meets an impossibly handsome yet surly son of a wizard. A future of magic, adventure, and romance awaits!”

ANNA: OK, I’m now much more intrigued by this description!

ASH: Potentially promising, for sure. (Even if I am well beyond burned out on most isekai.)

SEAN: We also get A Certain Magical Index 22 (manga version), High School Prodigies Have It Easy Even in Another World 8 (manga version), IM: Great Priest Imhotep 4, Interspecies Reviewers 4, Laid-Back Camp 9, Murcielago 15, School-Live! 12 (the final volume, though there’s a sequel out in Japan), Smokin’ Parade 8, Val x Love 9, and The World’s Strongest Rearguard 2 (manga version).

Typing ‘manga version’ a lot. It’s a multimedia world. What media are you consuming?

Carlos Ghosn Wants to See Prosecutors’ Files. Nissan Says No.

TOKYO — In the year since the Japanese authorities arrested Carlos Ghosn, the fallen Nissan boss, prosecutors have seized laptops, hard drives and reams of files from the automaker and its executives as they build their case against him.

Now, Mr. Ghosn’s defense attorneys want access to that information as they look for evidence that could clear their client. But prosecutors have declared thousands of the files off limits. Nissan, they say, considers the information too sensitive, and prosecutors agree, refusing to provide any details of what they plan to withhold.

So far, judges have sided with the prosecutors. The legal clash is now headed to Japan’s top court, as Mr. Ghosn’s lawyers make a last-ditch attempt to get access to the files, or at least to find out what they are being barred from seeing.

Their appeal, filed on Oct. 17, is the latest twist in a case that has riveted the global auto industry and raised fundamental questions about the fairness of Japan’s justice system. The decision not to disclose the files, Mr. Ghosn’s attorneys argue, highlights the cozy relationship between prosecutors and Nissan, as well as a Japanese legal system that too often favors prosecutors.

“The judge says, ‘Don’t worry, you should trust the prosecutors,’” said Takashi Takano, a lawyer for Mr. Ghosn. But if the courts are content to simply trust the prosecutors, he added, “why do we even have to defend against these criminal charges?”

In response to questions from The New York Times, the Tokyo district prosecutor’s office said it would share with the defense team copies of electronic media seized from Nissan that excluded “parts that were not appropriate to disclose,” while keeping the originals intact. It declined to elaborate.

A spokeswoman for Nissan said the company could not comment on active judicial proceedings.

Both Nissan and Mr. Ghosn have been charged with underreporting Mr. Ghosn’s compensation. A trial date has not been set.

Mr. Ghosn has denied the charges. On Thursday, his legal team asked the court to dismiss the case, citing what it described as “multiple acts” of prosecutorial misconduct.

“The prosecutors illegally ceded their investigative powers to certain Nissan employees and consultants” in an effort to topple Mr. Ghosn, his lawyers wrote in a statement.

Nissan has worked hand in hand with prosecutors to provide evidence against Mr. Ghosn, whom the automaker blames for many of its problems. At least two of its executives have struck cooperation agreements with the government guaranteeing them criminal immunity in exchange for providing evidence against their former boss.

That situation creates incentives for both Nissan and the prosecutors to protect the company while they try to get Mr. Ghosn convicted, according to Makoto Ibusuki, a law professor at Seijo University who is not involved in the case.

“It’s impossible to deny that information that could be helpful to Mr. Ghosn could be hidden” within the files, Mr. Ibusuki said.

Japanese prosecutors enjoy broad discretionary powers over how they conduct their investigations. Conviction rates in the country hover near 100 percent. The vast majority of convictions are achieved with a confession, sometimes extracted under pressure.

Critics say the prosecutors’ broad discretion includes how much evidence they choose to share with defendants. Numerous high-profile murder cases have been retried after revelations that prosecutors withheld key evidence from the courts. In March, a murder conviction was reversed after the defendant’s defense team learned that prosecutors had failed to share evidence that would have cleared him.

In white-collar cases, Japanese prosecutors often seize large quantities of evidence but frequently return or destroy it if they believe the evidence is not relevant to the case, said Taichi Yoshikai, a former prosecutor who is now a law professor at Kokushikan University in Tokyo.

Since 2016, prosecutors have been required to provide the defense with a list of all of the evidence in their possession. Still, given the broad powers that prosecutors continue to have over evidence, Mr. Ghosn’s attorneys are right to be concerned, said Seiho Cho, a criminal defense attorney in Tokyo.

“These are items that are related to the case,” said Mr. Cho, who is not involved with the case. “That’s why they seized these computers. So if the defense is not allowed to see what’s inside them, of course that’s strange.”

It is not clear whether the records contain evidence that would help Mr. Ghosn, or whether they are even relevant to the case. Defense attorneys say they are worried that they will never get the chance to find out.

“It is completely impossible to know what type of data has been erased,” his lawyers wrote in their appeal to Japan’s Supreme Court. They added that the courts had simply asked Mr. Ghosn’s defense team to trust that the prosecutors were providing them with all of the relevant evidence.

“That kind of attitude is not the approach of a fair and impartial judge,” they wrote.

In a pretrial hearing last summer, Nissan argued that the files seized by prosecutors included “corporate secrets” and personal information about employees and asked the court to allow prosecutors to redact them, according to an Oct. 4 court filing by Mr. Ghosn’s lawyers. But the judge ordered prosecutors to “broadly disclose the evidence” by the end of August.

In early September, days before Mr. Ghosn’s lawyers were scheduled to view the evidence, prosecutors informed the defense team that they had received “a request from Nissan asking us ‘not to disclose electronic data relating to employee privacy, etc.,’” the filing said.

The request included a list of nearly 6,000 pieces of evidence that “Nissan does not wish to be disclosed,” prosecutors told the defense team, adding that they were “deleting electromagnetic recording media that is subject to disclosure.”

Prosecutors later told the court that they would return only documents that were “clearly unrelated to this case” and would retain “copies of media for which a decision is difficult,” the filing said.

Lawyers for Mr. Ghosn said prosecutors would not disclose the list submitted by Nissan nor explain the criteria used for judging whether records were related to the case.

Japanese prosecutors have collected over 100 electronic devices from Nissan, ranging from laptops and desktops to external hard drives, according to Mr. Ghosn’s lawyers. Some were handed over voluntarily, while others were seized under a warrant.

They have also seized “more than 100 boxes of original documents” from the company, Nissan’s lawyers said in an August filing in a federal court in the United States, where the company is facing a civil suit from investors.

Some of the information in prosecutors’ hands came from Hari Nada, a former head of the company’s legal department and one of the senior executives who have struck cooperation agreements with prosecutors.

Lawyers both inside and outside the company have expressed concern that Mr. Nada used his position to influence the investigation into Mr. Ghosn, creating a significant conflict of interest that could undermine the case against him.

In the course of the investigation, Mr. Nada provided prosecutors with “a large amount of electromagnetic recording media,” the defense team’s filing said.

Mr. Nada has not responded to requests for comment. Nissan relieved Mr. Nada of his responsibilities as head of the company’s legal department this month, but said it had “found no evidence of inappropriate involvement by Nada in the internal investigation into executive misconduct led by former chairman Carlos Ghosn and others.”
