That's a market predicting he's going to lose bigly.

I might be expecting too much that actual professionals engage with their material outside of the most surface-level takes, but Ultimate Muscle was fairly successful in the US, to the point that it got a whole extra season because of its popularity here. Why are you trying to imitate anime in the first place? That's my first question. The guy has experience on numerous comic book adaptations that didn't need to imitate anime. We have our own distinctive art styles. Use those. This already looks girlbossed to hell with the usual Current Year requirements, and the fact that it is a cargo cult of a production is not helping.

Western animators trying to imitate anime are the equivalent of cargo cults. How the hell do you mention a wrestling show based on anime and not mention Kinnikuman or Tiger Mask once? Especially Tiger Mask if you’re a fan of pro wrestling given there have been six wrestlers that have carried the mantle and with the exception of Minowa (who’s a cult figure in MMA) they’re all legends?! It’s not like the franchises have been idle either. But your influence is Naruto?! I know I shouldn’t be annoyed, but I can’t help it.

It’s surprisingly effective. There are a LOT of anecdotal stories about women not wanting to say how they vote outside of anonymous spaces because of Trumper families and the general stigma of voting liberal in good-old boy areas, but committing to voting against the guy who wants to control their bodies.

Funny that, the Times just ran a story about how the polls are being completely screwed over by partisan polling and Trump confessed on Rogan to be paying for favorable polling, which is why we seem to get a constant stream of “WELL ACTHSHUALLY” polls every time Harris appears to be ahead. Or maybe Harris is just that terrified of repeating the Hillary mistakes.

Speaking of the economy, inflation is extremely close to hitting its target. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/oct/31/us-inflation-report

That and the Boeing strike.

No, actually. Just a web artist. That being said, Madeline takes me back.

‘If it happens, great, just as long as it’s not the 08th MS Team fanfic they were allegedly making.

I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, but it will be rough either way.

The lack of any new info on Get Jiro! has me thinking that hits late 2025/early 2026 provided we're all still alive.

And the solution to that, is a 78 year old man? The math ain’t mathing.

Charlie-boy does realize women outnumber men, right? Check any demographic listing.

I’m convinced at this point Polychain is scamming people by pumping up the Trump odds so not only can it be added to the reasons for post-election grievances, but also to clean out the people betting on Trump. House always wins, after all.

In my latest argument to restore the Fairness Doctrine, you know those ads for the election betting website? The ones that Americans can’t legally bet on but still takes up a ton of space online? Yeah.

My mom just got out of surgery. No complications or anything but still, I’m hoping she recovers alright.

Makes sense to me. Now hopefully that restraint holds and cooler heads prevail.

Interestingly, oil dropped sharply on reports that Iran’s oil production facilities were untouched. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was an agreement with its allies to not hit anything that affects the global economy.

Cheeseburger, the smashed kind at a little hole in the wall. I wasn’t going to go initially but the guys were all “Come on, let’s go as a group,” and naturally I caved into peer pressure.

Biden did apologize for the remark and how it came off this morning, saying “trash” was actually how people who called Americans trash should be referred to.

She’s harmless. Honestly she reminds me of this webcomic of sorts (more like single images) of a group of girls in a nunnery and their pet ducks. Just harmless mascots that men feel the urge to pat on the head.

Terry’s Mom in Batman Beyond. Just to show the range she had outside of her numerous 80s roles.
