I just don't think they have any budget for action animation...
It's just animated cartoon panels at this point.
But the story's so good, it almost doesn't matter.
What's the point of making a FUG Slayer who doesn't want to be a FUG Slayer?
Doesn't that carry a high risk that Bam/Yoru/Jue Voile Grace will blow up in FUG's proverbial faces?
It's just not the right time for a reunion with Khun this time...
NRA: The only way to stop a bad golfer with a gun is a good golfer with a gun.
Trump: I'm waiting on the final word from the Russian FSB.
Whew, Fall 2024 looks stacked with good shows!
I'll be anticipating:
- Re:Zero S3
- Uzumaki
- Blue Lock S2
- Dandadan
- Shangri-La Frontier Season 2
- SAO: Gun Gale Online II
- Mechanical Arms
- Trillion Game
Maybe:
- Acro Trip (because riffing on magical girls)
- Chi.: Chikyuu no Undou ni Tsuite (because Madhouse)
- MF Ghost 2nd Season (because racing)
Is it too early to start thinking about next season? (Credit and blame to MAL)

I just thought of this, but Noor's sword has a lot in common with Captain America's shield in how he uses it...
A lot of good stuff in this episode. The ministers running away after deferring to their underling was great!
And Noor doing all the right things through misunderstandings was corny but good.
Not much action, but we get more disturbing portrayal of Ashikaga Takauji as driven by demons,
and Yorishige as decadent himself.
I have no idea if that's historically accurate, but maybe that's why he continued to support the Hojo clan...
Nice to see that Hina wasn't a complete gullible mark.
Land mines? These guys are serious!
He should have incorporated himself. That way no Texas court would ever convict him of anything.
Weird. Her face looks quite ethnic to me.
Repressed self hatred much?
Language is much more than words in a dictionary.
Each language carries its original cultural concepts and ways of thinking.
The first couple of weeks on a private tracker are always pretty rough, until you can build up your ul/dl ratio high enough to get some breathing room.
Some sites make things easier on newbs than others.
If possible, look for recent freeleech torrents, especially popular ones, download them even if you aren't really interested in the content, and seed them 24/7 to build your ul stats..
"Gnomes" was the title of a very successful illustrated book about fanciful lives of gnomes that was published in the late 70s in Dutch, but maintained its popularity through much of the 1980s.
I believe the book was popularized because of a trend of placing small "garden gnome" statues in gardens, but the book was popular unto itself.
This was by design to kickstart the private industry for space development.
NASA could have just kept building and flying space shuttles, but since the retirement of the space shuttle program in 2011, they were renting payload space on Russian rockets to get stuff into orbit.
Getting off of dependence on Russian rockets turned out to be tremendous foresight.
I don't think Ruby was doing just to be catty, but she's just reciting principles from the JPop Idol 101 textbook.
You have at least 10 years from when your tapes were written.

Light and medium roasts are finicky and vary by the bag.
The lighter the roast, the easier it is to brew too long, resulting in astringency.
If a brew is astringent, keep reducing brew time until the astringency goes away.
Spot the difference...
Young professional athletes are increasingly broadcasting their obsession with anime like “Pokémon” and “Naruto,” upending preconceptions about kinds of fandom.
More and more high profile athletes are displaying their love of anime.

Three Russian companies with links to the government were allegedly using the domains as part of a coordinated effort to influence the upcoming election.
A pretty good summary of the DOJ documents in the Russian propaganda campaign.
The movie just recently became available for streaming, so I got a chance to watch it.
Mostly a recap of the first 2 seasons, but from Nagi and Reo's point-of-view.
I felt disappointed by this:
Nagi isn't the most captivating or motivated character. He has a one-dimensional personality and this movie does nothing to change that.
He spends most of the movie moaning about what a hassle it is to do just about anything: Playing soccer, brushing his teeth, even eating.
Incredible football super powers aside, he just isn't interesting enough to be the subject of a 90 minute movie.
It was nice to watch the group elimination stage from Team V's point of view, but it's presented almost as quick highlights, with maybe the best part being against Nico's Team Y, although more screen time is given to their fateful match against Isagi's Team Z.
And that's a problem, because we already saw what happened in V vs Z in excruciating detail in the TV episodes.
Assuming anyone who is investing time and money to watch this has already watched the show already knows exactly what happens, so what was the value add here?
Although the production did animate just about everything from scratch for the movie, there was disappointingly little actual new story.
And the movie production quality was also not that great.
The TV show is famous for its Powerpoint-style graphics, and the movie was only slightly above that.
It felt like a missed opportunity to "fill in the gaps" of the action that's happening between the Powerpoint slides.
To sum up, it feels like a lot of poor production and concept decisions.
The proposed combined company of Paramount and Skydance is valued at around $28 billion. The deal is expected to close in September 2025, pending regulatory approval.
Shari Redstone's company, which had agreed to a merger with Skydance Media in July, has extended its "go-shop" window until Sept. 5 to take a closer look at the offer from a group led by the former Warner Music Group chief.
Just when you thought it was over...
Redstone/Paramount to consider a competing bid for the company...
Us too, George, us too
Apologies for the slightly off-topic post...
It's not looking good, folks...
George R R Martin confirms he hasn't written anything for the 2 remaining A Song Of Ice And Fire books since 2022.
He wishes that they were finished.
The last published book in the series, A Dance With Dragons, was published in July 2011, now 13 years ago.
Obligatory song that's now 12 years old... https://youtu.be/j7lp3RhzfgI
How Japan's "most famous" artist, and others, are subverting the country's cute "kawaii" aesthetic to question the world we live in.
A little off topic, but the whole Japanese "utsukushii" and/or "kawaii" aesthetic... Where does it come from?
Descriptions of "utsukushi" things and moments in "The Pillow Book" from the Heian period goes back to the year 1002.

Apparently unrelated to the massive Netflix anime leak, the Re:Zero movie length premiere has also leaked.
This one appears to be related to a canceled showing at Japan Expo in Paris, similar to the massive CR premiere leak from a convention in Washington couple of seasons ago.
(Sorry, maxso216, but this is truly the shortest functional train line in Japan.) The DisneySea Electric Railway is a 2-station line coming in at less than half a kilometer in total length (0.48km). Even at the relaxed 15kph speed of the trains, it only takes two and a half minutes to traverse the e...

Netflix has been hit with one of the worst cases of anime leaks, with popular titles like Dan Da Dan posted months before their intended premieres.
