Higurashi episode 17 seems like it gave some answers, but so many more questions.
Now having some time to calm down and think about it, Takano's reaction and answer to Rika's question might be equally as big bombshells as the reveal.

Very impressed with Tomozaki's VA for swapping between mumbles and assertiveness and pulling off the rant, which was kinda cringey, but also based.
I wonder, would Tomozaki have been more palatable if instead of calling everything a shitty game, he called it shovelware? Shit game seems so edgy, while shovelware seems more tired with everything.

Do the Japanese know that term, shovelware?
Shitty game and godly game are pretty lame translations cause theyre not real specific phrases so when someone talks a lot about Shitty Games and Godly Games its a little unnatural, while kusoge and kamige are video game slang stockphrases. Shit tier and god tier would probably be better, hell id even argue that if you really wanted to be adventurous, shovelware could be used as a translation for kusoge cause theyre both slang terminology for poor quality games.
but ultimately, does it matter? Tomozaki drops the life is kusoge attitude in episode 1. Compared to 8man, Tomozaki is as edgy as a teddy bear.

Easy way to earn money in Mushoku Tensei and really most isekai, especially if you have the stomach for it: Become bounty hunter and get money not only from the bounty but from looting the bandits. It's easier to do this with DoA bounties because no one will question why the bandits are turned in naked because no one will be able to see their bodies because the dead bandits will just be turned in via their heads.
you can use this trick to make money in real life too, though I believe it is more difficult

Can't be that hard to down an American soldier right?
There are less DoA bounties nowadays, and even if dead, you're expected to bring in the whole body, due to technologies that allow for easier transport. You may know them as "cars". This of course then makes it awkward for you to explain why those bounties are coming in buck naked.
Fire Force Episode 18: This episode brought up an issue that I thought would have be covered eventually after finding ties to the Evangelist in the Holy Sol Temple. Sister Iris' and the lieutenant's in the 1st Company are having faith tested by these revelations and how they're dealing with the information and speculation and I liked the answers that they came to. Now, I didn't Assault to come back and outright challenge Tamaki, but I definitely didn't expect him to constantly fall over himself every time he confronts her because of her Lucky Lecher Lure. This was a fun episode for me.
Spoiler:
This episode of Mushoku tensei, more so than any others, is fucking testing me.
Wonder Egg seems to work like a Ponzi scheme of souls. In order to allow 1 suicided soul to come back to life, help several others. While their issues may be solved, the other souls don't come back to life. By definition, despite "helping" several souls, only a handful will actually come back to life. The others will just wish that they did before going back to their statues. In other words, if you want to bring someone back to life, who committed suicide, this is the same as wishing that several other people commit suicide, so that you can help them with their issues to gain "warmth points" for the soul statue that you want to bring back to life (while the others apparently stay statues).
True, if you need to save multiple people to bring one back than that guarantees not everyone can get what they want. Though even aside from that it's pretty clear this "soul-saving system" is really messed up and probably not all it seems. Recruiting a bunch of teenage girls to risk injury fighting horrifying monsters to bring back their dead friends (exploiting their own guilt-complexes over said friends' deaths in the process) is not exactly something a benevolent god or guardian spirit would do. I wouldn't be surprised if the show pulls a Madoka Magica partway through and the flower-mannequin guys turn out to be manipulating this operation for their own ends. Overall I doubt anyone is going to get resurrected by the climax and probably the best Ai can hope for is getting a moment of closure with Koito before finally moving on.
Look. Sending teens in dungeons and bringing back the dead. I'm not against either of those, in and of themselves. I'm only looking at the mathematical logic behind this. Teen heroes are a common staple in anime, and you can spare me the nonsense about the immorality of resurrection.
