The Weekly Orbit [4/15/24]
It's mostly smooth sailing as we enter the second week of the season. Coverage for Mysterious Disappearances and Himitsu no AiPri premieres, plus Dungeon Meshi, Train to the End of the World, Pokemon Horizons, Giant Robo, and an intriguing Pixiv manga.
The Weekly Orbit is a weekly column collecting and refining my more casual anime- and manga-related thoughts from the previous week, mostly, these are taken from my tumblr blog, and assume familiarity with the works covered. Be wary of spoilers!
We move into our second week of the new season, and things are mostly going steady with only a couple of comparative curveballs. Plus; an interesting…

The Lifted
In 2121 Fukuoka, Ichinose Private Eyes are aware of new dangerous elements, Lifted, causing harm to the people of the city. These monsters seem to embody traits of the deceased members of Aku no Himitsu Kessya. Eggs are created hijacking the IR system to replicate the powers of AHK's members.
The first Lifted to appear in the manga takes the form of a giant rabbit, transformed from a food cart owner using an egg marked with Uzagi's visage. He first kidnaps children and turns them into stuffed rabbits, then uses the darkness acquired from this to upgrade himself, now summoning a giant black shadow body, and attacks a theme park causing everyone to give more darkness, uses Karami eggs to turn people into Karami. The darkness gathered was used for the Lifted to revive their ranks.
The next lifted to appear is transformed from Takayanagi Kanetsugu, head of Ohga Pharmacy's President Office, who has disappointment that his hero didn't choose him as his successor stoked by Aigue, and used an egg marked with Maid Shitsuji's visage to become the Goat Lifted, fighting with the zombie Maid Shitsuji to attack Ohga Pharmacy. Later he taps into the power more, becoming a shadowy double to Maid Shitsuji's original form.
With the darkness gathered by the rabbit lifted, the deceased members of Aku no Himitsu Kessya are revived as empty shells by Aigue. Nectaris, Dangomushiman, Uzagi, Shaberryman, Gallia, Gulf, Shuraomaru and Maid Shitsuji are all revived, identical save for being marked with horns like Yabai Kamen. Maid Shitsuji regains their ego fighting alongside the Goat Lifted, everyone else, including Hatena popping back up, regains their will after Yabai Kamen is revived.
Ribu & Regu are the executives of the Lifted, a pair of girls animated by Aigue from dolls to relieve his loneliness. Despite their stern attitudes they care for their master. In combat Regu wields the I-Doll Claws, while Ribu uses the Gindara Blade and Walther P881. Yabai Kamen sees something of I-Doll in them, while when he fights them, Hyakutoban seeks to save them from the tragedy that befell Yuz-Yuz.
Aigue is the leader of the Lifted. In truth a former Karami from AHK's R&D, left as the sole survivor he began enacting a plan to revive his allies. Initially appearing in shadow, when they make their attack he uses the IR System to replicate Yabai Kamen, wielding the One-Man Jogi. When he reveals his true identity, he uses the IR System to copy the Rookie Lance.
In 2022, the full membership of Aku no Himitsu Kessya battled the 7 Dogengers for the last time. Besides those regularly appearing, also part of this battle were Kasaman, Kaizokuman, Ninjaman, Mushi Otome, Onitaro, Ebiman and Cakeman, as well as Eboshi Musha.
Rookie comes into this adventure from a time travel adventure to helped Uduki Tsukasa stop Dogecon villain Jikuman.

i meant to post this for tdov but remember the post from a few years back about an all trans jpop group called secret guyz?
sadly they disbanded a bit ago as taiki wanted to retire from the industry. as of right now its unsure whether shuuto and yukichi will stay in the industry though. until we know more about that you can pour your support into into himitsu no otome!
theyre the first ever all trans girl group who debuted in may of last year!
heres their first mv, 純 Eye People !!!
please give them lots of love!!!!

[Discourse] An Alternate Appraisal: Inclusivity and empowerment in the idol industry
If you were to ask a layperson what an idol is, what would likely first come to mind is images of AKB48 and their dozens of members dancing in unison to perky, cute J-pop. The next thing they think of may be scandalous stories about an industry that exploits young women, turning their bodies into a product for the consumption of adult men.
The idol industry has a reputation for scandals, such as the famous case of Minami Minegishi from AKB48 shaving her head after being caught with a boyfriend. While it’s not necessarily unfair to associate these things with idols, as there are genuine abuses within the industry, to focus exclusively on them ignores the unique, empowering and expansive subculture behind idols and their fans.
The industry is also home to many unique artists performing almost every genre of music, creativity on display in their dances, costumes, and often their songs as well. Not only that, you can find positive and representative messaging and a welcoming and caring community of fans with which to engage in an exciting and expansive subculture.
