drunk oni fan.
two episodes in and i think netflix one piece's x factor can be summarized by garp showing up in this hat without a single character making a single fucking quip about it
would not have expected an anime from 1985 to feature a sweet love story about a trans girl that a) doesn't make her the butt of any jokes, b) unequivocally supports her relationship, and c) doesn't end in tragedy. but I've been consistently pleased at how good Dirty Pair is!
just saw that Discord now supports custom away messages and i'm so glad teens can once again indulge in the unique pleasure of setting theirs to Death Cab lyrics and praying their crush messages them about it
the beautiful part about this scene, to me (outside of all the fanart of secelia in a habit), is that it shows how Okouchi internalized the most important lesson he could have taken from Code Geass: you can get away with any plot development as long as it's funny enough
you can touch your fingertips to your computer screen screen and perceive the lessons Hiroshi Nagahama learned from rotoscoping Aku no Hana
uncanny surreality
it's the only way to approach Junji Ito
you're allowed to be frustrated by the perspective Oppenheimer adopts to tell its story, but if that's the case, your homework assignment is to watch the original Godzilla
Call-outs
-good for removing abusers from positions of power where, unchecked, they can commit and perpetuate acts of harm, esp. against marginalized people
-bad for going after artists whose works don't pass some arbitrary ideological/ethical litmus test
Irrespective of who won, Crunchyroll dropped a 3 hour awards show celeb champagne black tie extravaganza in the same week that its president brandished an AI boot built for stomping on the face of their translators. That says all you need about this industry.
the protagonists of Angels of Death are a person who understands how RPG Maker horror games work and a person who has zero fucking patience for how RPG Maker horror games work
always love reminding people that Drakengard's release date (and Papa Nier's birthday) is 9/11.
anyway here's puppet Yoko Taro talking about how he wrote Nier in response to the malignant self-righteousness of the War on Terror

i like that anon's obnoxious self-centeredness has made her one of like two people immune to sakiko's charms. it's like how sickle cell anemia protects you against malaria
Joanca also kicks off the episode by shooting up an arranged wedding, rescuing her bf, and airlifting the two of them out of a giant wedding cake, because Dirty Pair fucking rules
hard to fathom the magnitude of the legacy toriyama leaves behind, let alone put it into words. they painted goku on a taqueria. how do you even quantify that?
it is criminal that we never got a home video release of Witch Craft Works. it's all about weak nerd who has to be protected and princess-carried everywhere by his strong, tall, witch gf
you can't tell me the 2018 anime audience wouldn't eat this up
"man i hope sony doesn’t end up monopolizing the anime streaming industry"
*monkey's paw curls so hard it becomes a gravitational singularity and vaporizes me instantly*
