![]() On top of that, the studio made the decision The pacing and direction of this show were just awful.Įven if you take out the adaptation aspect, it’s painfully obvious that the show breezes over important details and omits content. Given it was studio Feel, I was always apprehensive about the Spyroom adaptation and had my doubts, but I tried to be as optimistic as possible. Spyroom is sadly yet another example of a really good Light Novel series that gets a subpar anime adaptation intended to push sales of the source material, rather than actually doing the story justice. A shame, really, since I heard good things about the light novels, and even though I haven’t read them, they probably didn’t do them justice at all. Even the stacked cast of voice actors couldn’t save this. With better pacing, this show could have been a little better, but not by much. Even so, the writing in general was not great, to put it lightly, and relied too much on shock value and fan service to keep the audience engaged. It showed its hand way too early, simple as that. Overall, while having an acceptable second half, the first arc’s structure just killed it entirely in my opinion. ![]() As for the music, the soundtrack wasn’t all that special, but the OP and EDs were probably one of the more well done and creative aspects in the entire show. The animation and designs are alright, not anything special, but not bad either. I suppose some of them got better in the second half, but it’s just faint praise, really. It just feels like extremely lazy writing, when the writer ran out of ideas, so maybe they thought a bit of fan service will satisfy the viewers instead. ![]() A little perverseness doesn’t doom a show at all, but for this show, it really obstructed the plot and character development. A lot of them felt overly sexualized, and it felt like being horny was their only attribute. I can barely remember all their names to be honest. The characters were all very gimmicky, and lacked real personality or growth in general. It lacks an identity, it’s not funny like Spy X Family, and it certainly isn’t Assassination Classroom either, so what is it really? I don’t know if I have an answer. It also relies way too heavily or plot twists and shock value, which is not the best formula. They were just simple and extremely contrived short missions with irrelevant villains that just were there to get killed. The spy missions themselves weren’t all that great either, especially in the first half. At first, they seemed like a disoriented bunch of fools not knowing what to do, and at the outset, the plot was revolving around the girls attempting to kill Klaus, which in the end, really went nowhere, and got repetitive very quickly. The show revolves around a spy group called Team Lamplight, a group of seven (?) girls, and their teacher, Klaus. Without this poor structure in the first arc, I would definitely have enjoyed It had the makings for a decent series, but the adaptation of the first volume of the light novel (first seven episodes) was just baffling, because they showed all their cards in Episode 3, and they did flashbacks for character development after the supposed climax, which felt so out of place. The first three episodes basically doomed it, and even though the second half was comparatively better, my interest had already waned too much. This show had the potential to be decent, but ended up being the massive disappointment of the season. ![]() Although skeptical, the girls eventually agree to work together under Klaus' guidance-as this might be their only chance to prove their worth as spies. A mysterious man named Klaus soon appears and reveals they must complete an "Impossible Mission": to infiltrate the Galgad Empire after just one month of training. Upon arriving at her destination, Lily is surprised to find six other girls waiting there, all of whom have faced their own academic difficulties as well. Lily's passion is reignited when she is offered provisional graduation by joining the spy team Lamplight, which she eagerly accepts despite the enigmatic nature of the opportunity. However, she begins to doubt her abilities, as she struggles to perform well academically. In the Din Republic, Lily is an enthusiastic young girl who aspires to become a spy and serve her nation. To avoid another catastrophe, governments worldwide have resorted to espionage to fulfill their agendas. A decade ago, mankind witnessed the deadly potential of weapons caused by the Great War.

Sony confirmed in 2019 that the company had no plans for a future handheld console. ![]() While home consoles offer a different form of gaming experience and are therefore somewhat protected from the competition posed by games on smartphones, mobile gaming had a particularly adverse effect on handheld consoles. One major reason for the decline is thought to be the rise of the smartphone, which is the most popular gaming device in Japan today. While the competition between the three manufacturers is more evenly distributed in other national console markets, Nintendo and Sony clearly dominate their home market.ĭespite their historical significance for the video game industry, classic video game consoles were in a long-term decline until 2017, when the successful launch of the Nintendo Switch contributed to the first growth of sales revenue in many years. In the form of the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition and the Xbox Series S, downgraded but more affordable versions were released as well. In November 2020, Sony and Microsoft ushered in the newest generation of home consoles with the release of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. In recent years, the Japanese home console market was split between Sony's PlayStation 4 (2014), Microsoft's Xbox One (2014), and Nintendo's Switch (2017), while the handheld market was split between the PlayStation Vita (2011), the Nintendo 3DS (2011), the Nintendo 2DS (2016), the Nintendo Switch, and the Nintendo Switch Lite (2019). Since then, Sony's PlayStation and Microsoft's Xbox have become well-known gaming brands. ![]() While the early 1990s were marked by the rivalry between Sega and Nintendo, the entry of Sony in the mid-1990s and Microsoft in the early 2000s established today's competition on the global home console market. The console market was driven by changing rivalries over the decades, which furthered competition and the innovation of new products. The rivalry of the big three console makers
Thus, a Rocky Mountain Horse, with rider, can use the single-foot to cover rough ground at around 7 miles per hour (11 km/h) and short stretches of smooth ground at up to 16 miles per hour (26 km/h). More than thirty horse breeds are "gaited," able to perform a four-beat ambling gait, and some can also trot. The value of an intermediate speed is that the horse conserves energy. ![]() This minimizes movement of the horse's topline and removes the bounce of a two-beat gait, caused by a moment of suspension followed by the jolt of two feet hitting the ground as the horse shifts from one pair of legs to the other. The extra footfalls provide additional smoothness to a rider because the horse always has at least one foot on the ground. Both gaits are an intermediate speed between a walk and a canter or gallop ambling gaits are four-beat gaits, whereas the trot is a two-beat gait. The breed exhibits a natural ambling gait, called the single-foot, which replaces the trot seen in a majority of horse breeds. A 2017 report by Jessica Fragola and Leandro Teixeira in Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science entitled "Microphthalmia with multiple ocular abnormalities in 11 horses: a novel syndrome" noted a novel ocular syndrome in horses characterized by bilateral microphthalmia and aphakia associated with multiple ocular abnormalities, and given the predominance of anterior segment lesions, a defect during the embryological development of the lens placode was suspected. Genetic studies from 2008 have shown that the disorder may be tied to the silver dapple gene, as most horses diagnosed with MCOA carry the gene. MCOA is characterized by the abnormal development of some ocular tissues, which causes compromised vision, although generally of a mild form the disease is non-progressive. Rocky Mountain Horses have the highest risk of any breed for the genetic ocular syndrome multiple congenital ocular anomalies (MCOA), originally called equine anterior segment dysgenesis (ASD). It is also praised for its good nature and affinity for humans. The Rocky Mountain Horse is known by enthusiasts for its hardiness and ability to withstand winters in the mountains. The physical characteristics are somewhat variable, due to the disparate breeds that created the Rocky Mountain Horse. Minimal white markings are accepted by the registry, although leg markings may not extend above the knee. Although uncommon, this gene has been found in over a dozen breeds, including the Rocky Mountain Horse. This coloration is the result of the relatively rare silver dapple gene acting on a black base coat. Any solid color is accepted by the registry, but a dark brown color called "chocolate" with a pale, "flaxen" mane and tail is preferred. Rocky Mountain Horses stand between 14 and 16 hands (56 and 64 inches, 142 and 163 cm) high. This horse exhibits the "chocolate" color, with flaxen mane and tail. ![]() Originally developed as a multi-purpose riding, driving and light draft horse, today it is used mainly for trail riding and working cattle.Ī Rocky Mountain Horse performing an ambling gait under saddle.

In 1986, the Rocky Mountain Horse Association was formed and by 2005 has registered over 12,000 horses. In the mid-20th century, a stallion named Old Tobe, owned by a prominent breeder, was used to develop the modern type today most Rocky Mountain Horses trace back to this stallion. A foundation stallion, brought from the western United States to eastern Kentucky around 1890, began the Rocky Mountain type in the late 19th century. Despite its name, it originated not in the Rocky Mountains, but instead in the Appalachian Mountains. The Rocky Mountain Horse is a horse breed developed in the state of Kentucky in the United States. |
