    @foryth There's also an older Romance of the Three Kingdoms anime made in 1991 that can be found fansubbed on YouTube. 47 episodes. It focuses on Liu Bei and goes until the Battle of Red Cliffs. It adapts the first half of a manga—the manga is among the top 30 or so best-selling manga series historically. The animation style is a product of its time, however.

    The 2009 adaptation has Mandarin voiceovers and better art, but is difficult to find online in English. Apparently the studio that produced it shut down a year later.

    There's a long list of Romance of the Three Kingdoms adaptations on Wikipedia.

    Apparently there's a 52-episode anime series from 2009, co-produced by Chinese and Japanese studios. Never seen it.

    I feel the long-running video game adaptations are going to be the most well known.

    Love Hina was probably my gateway into the Internet anime fandom in the golden years. I'd watched the usual fare on after-school (western) TV and the occasional VHS or DVD introduced by extended family or friends. But Love Hina was so different. No sci-fi, no magic, no guns, no golden haired muscular flying dudes. A group of people—yes, a harem anime—living in modern day Japan near Tokyo. It was so different to me, and I wasn't used to a cartoon being so heartfelt. It got me somewhat into JPop too. Fond memories of that anime and manga.

    Air summer special (2 bonus episodes after the TV season) was a pleasant watch right around Mother's Day weekend. Focused on a trio forming a makeshift family. Dialed down the emotional bits and was an enjoyable slice-of-life side story. Spy x Family vibes.

    Thank you! Regarding the link sharing bug, does it happen with specific apps? I have mostly tested link sharing from Safari. Does it work properly for you from Safari at least?

    That is a good idea about toggling panes on iPad. I'll have to look into it. It's a bit trickier when supporting iOS 12.

    Air. Was in the mood for something relaxing, so brought my laptop to bed and watched a few episodes before sleep. The episodes I watched were toward the end of the season and used some dreamlike devices in the narrative. Some emotional bits. People connected across space and time. Slept comfortably after.

    Three Cheers is now live on the App Store for iOS!

    Releasing on the App Store enables in-app purchases for donations, and installation on older devices like iPhone 5s and iPad Air 1st gen. These don't work on TestFlight.

    With this milestone, I may be taking a break from Three Cheers development on the order of weeks or months, to recharge and also give some time to other projects. I'll still be on Tildes every day though. Thank you everyone for your support this past year!

    Thank you for that detailed info. Sorry to say I still cannot find a way to get the bug to happen. Looking at my code, there is a chance of a similar bug happening, where the cursor itself could move, when pressing the Markdown formatting buttons, on a misbehaving custom ROM; but that doesn't sound like the case here.

    Any other users experiencing the scroll bug during commenting? If so, what Android keyboard are you using?

    Thank you very much! However please don't donate solely for the sake of the animation, haha—it's the same one but I fixed the flickering issue.

    Thanks for the feedback. I could consider adding a setting to hide the scroll-to-top button. I'm not sure though, would have to think about it more. There would have to be another way to scroll to the top quickly. (Maybe tapping on the bottom tab repeatedly, like some apps do it.)

    That is a really good idea, about the spoilers. It should probably be implemented on the web first. If I have free time I may want to look into implementing that for the website (no guarantees), unless someone else is eager to do so and gets to it first.

    I also have the android version and whenever I edit something higher up in the comment I'm in the middle of writing, almost every keystroke forces me all the way back down to the end of the comment.

    Interesting bug. I can't get it to reproduce on my phone though. Could you please provide some more details? (Feel free to private message me if you prefer.)

    • Which keyboard are you using? (Gboard, Samsung keyboard, ...)
    • What's your device make and model, and Android OS version?
    • When you say "almost" every keystroke, is there a pattern to getting it to happen consistently?

    Thanks!

    That's a good idea. I know other apps have special functionality when tapping the bottom tabs repeatedly. I can consider adding an option for those types of gestures.
