Just your typical internet guy with questionable humor

Japan still mostly treats and creates anime as media for kids and teenagers
I guess we just grew up and Japan still mostly treats and creates anime as media for kids and teenagers, not unlike how cartoons are still mostly “for kids”.
I don’t “hate” anime, like many people here, but some stuff just doesn’t entertain me anymore. I’m too old to find Dragon Ball Z and every other similar shonen even minimally entertaining. Hell, I was probably too old for that shit back when I was 19, I remember checking Bleach and giving up on episode 7 or whatever, though I think it was Naruto that “woke me up” when I was 16, I was watching it but wasn’t enjoying it for quite a while, until I just dropped it around ep 120, “this shit ain’t going nowhere”.
I’ve only watched Evangelion the first time during covid years, and it was clear it was two stories in one: the one they wanted to tell, which was kinda interesting, and their struggles with budget and how that affected the product.
The thing is that the anime that reaches mass appeal is meant for the masses, much like movies with mass appeal are the ones that require you to shut down your brain. The last 2 anime that I watched, enjoyed and wouldn’t mind watching again are Legend of Galactic Heroes and Taxi Driver, both are low on nonsense and bullshit.
More often than not, it’s just better to read the manga, when the anime’s based on one. Slam Dunk is a much better read than watching the anime, plus you end up knowing about the author’s other work, Vagabond, which is amazing.
Your comment reminded me of this very old meme
There are many ways to stop or deeply alter the Spanish Inquisition, like never getting christianity going, never getting islam going, ensuring the Arabs wipe out all the christian kingdoms of Andalusia, ensuring the Cordoba Caliphate doesn’t disintegrate, doing something to both Isabella I of Castille and Ferdinand II of Aragon so they don’t get into power.
That wouldn’t work because you’re a single person fighting against the same companies that finance climate change denialism. Hell, between understanding that leaded gasoline was harmful and banning it were at least 20 years
I’d invent the printing press during the classical era and watch what happens from there. I guess the folks at Carthage would also enjoy knowing about paper making, better wind-powered sails for ships and to be on the lookout for those “Romanes”
Lack of physical keyboard.
Being a flimsy piece of shit comes in second.
I’m aware how that applies to basically every smartphone from 2013 - today. Currently rocking a used Galaxy S8
The real irony is that OpenMW is a better engine than anything bethesda managed to come up with in the past 20 years.
I’d like ALL game advertising to be composed of at least 50% actual in game screenshots or or videos, but that would actually be consequential and good
For inconsequential, remove stupid-proofing from certain products, like “warning: contains eggs” in egg cartons
Maybe you should try a more chaotic approach to solving the crimes in that game, like Josh does in this video
Blaming the user. Always
I’m the user
so someone else picks up the IP and runs with it.
My bet is that either Disney or EA would pick it up
So, e-mail’s actually literally xkcd 927. Fucking hell
That or the realization “Ah”, as in: “AAAAh, so that’s what <sequence of bad adjectives>
looks like”
Only one I frequent is a NSFW forum. Not sure if I should name it
Anything that shows the awful inconsistency in phonetics.
Overcooked 2 tournament. It has a 2v2 mode. I want to see blood
Can I make t-shirts + shorts + flip flops become a new formal wear if it’s fashionable enough?
As for something more fashion-y, for men, I’d make something with lots of freedom of movement, aesthetics as pure afterthought. I hate stuff that shows my belly whenever my arms go up or legwear that won’t let me sit, crouch, stretch or anything without feeling like my fat ass can rip the fabric at any time.
