This is the second story living space in the farmer’s market! I honestly love it and I replaced the window panes for the ones pictured and they actually open! Not to mention the clock tick-tocking.

Boy oh boy. It’s that delightful time again... Time to start a new liveblog, and it’s Land of the Lustrous! Why this show? I wanted something really short to wind down from Code Geass, and it’s one of the most requested shows I’ve gotten on tumblr and my discord!

As is tradition, I will list everything I know about this show before starting.

1: Absolutely nothing! ...Is what I would like to say. Unfortunately, after I announced I would be liveblogging this show yesterday, someone in my discord made the mistake of failing to swap to a spoiler-discussion channel before exclaiming that this was yet another show that featured "rock people." Apparently, they tried to swap but miss-clicked. A totally understandable mistake; I've accidentally sent messages to the wrong place, myself.

It is a bit disappointing to have been spoiled on that, because my blog's history has an... unique... relationship with shows about rock people. Steven Universe, Fullmetal Alchemist... But alas, now I can only wonder at what my dawning realization of what this show was about would be like. Thankfully, overall, the spoiler is itself no big deal at all. It's the barest hint of the premise. I have no idea what the genre, tone or the themes are! I don’t even know what it freakin’ looks like.

2: I didn't give the name of the show much thought, though now that I know there are rock people, I guess it's pretty literal. Land of the Lustrous... I demand to see really shiny people! I do wonder-- is it gonna work off of SU/FMA rules where the rock is the person and the body around it is a construct, or are we gonna get straight up rock golems? Perhaps something else? Are rock people all there are, or are there humans and/or other species? Heck maybe “rock people” is more metaphorical than anything...

3: It's the very first anime made by Studio Orange. That name is a delightful coincidence, considering that I'm coming hot off of Code Geass, which featured a particularly notorious Orange...

Oh, yes, and the version I'm watching is fan subbed. No telling how reliable it will be, so I guess we'll just have to find out later.
