I'm cool if it's background frames or items in 2D anime (like if a car, crowd, or banana needs CGI), but I'm strongly prejudiced against 3D anime and the stiffness of anime doesn't translate well with janky 3D models. I would probably enjoy it more if they were animated like RWBY where they look like video game cutscenes with fluid animation but lower res models instead of the stiff jerky movements and higher res models that anime studios went with for the Netflix 3D anime, the new Fist of the North Star, and Ronja the Robbers Daughter.

Funny enough, this might've be been less of a shitstorm in Rants/Editorials. Even the dissenting views in that folder are more civil than the people here who get triggered the moment white people are mentioned in a negative light

Baller Etymology: Middle English 'bal', from Old Norse 'bollr' and akin to Old High German 'balla'; combined with the commin suffix 'er' denoting one that does or performs (a specified action) Therefore, a baller is, literally, 'one who balls' Other connotations of the word include: (N) 1. One who exhibits a consistent proficency at-, or exuberant love for the game of basketball. 2. One whose person has been fully and successfully established in numerous social circles (esp. one who is extremely popular with both the male and female members of any given social group) 3. One whose status in society has been earned by one's possession of "game" (that is, proficiency at the game of life) (Adj) 1. Exhibiting those qualitites of a baller; not limited to the description of a person, 'baller' may be used to describe any place, thing or situation. (N) 1. "Kobe Bryant... now THAT kid's a baller" 2. "Wanna be a baller, shot caller, twenty inch blades on the impala, caller getting laid tonight..." 3. "Hey yo! Don't let nobody else up in this booth. I see nothing but gansters up in here, I see nothing but ballers up in here..." (Adj) 1. "This Sh*t is baller" Suburbanation of 'Baller': "Wow, that man is really quite 'on the ball'."

50 episode pacing for a 24 episode series. It's not a good look, but it's the one they chose to wear.

Once the last of the Bush line perishes decades and decades in the future, she will wake.

I think that's why I'm pissed about the show. I had the foolish assumption that Episode 13 would set the tone for the show to get deeper into its lore and start clearly defining what's happening within the world and why the kids are in this situation. If they could outline Zero Two's past that well, imagine if the remaining episodes were more brisk about peeling the layers behind the Elementary, klaxosaurs, and the pilots' fates. Instead, Episode 14 set things back to how they were around Episode 5 when the show was sitting on its thumbs about whether they wanted to advance the plot in favor of showing Ichigo grapple with her unrequited love. It puts a pause on everything and only sets the story up to be explained in a clumsy rushed info dump because they spent too much time on teen drama to set the world up properly. The threats on the screenwriters/producers are insane, but they shit the bed by pressing the reset button. They needed to learn from Little Witch Academia that you can still have events happen outside of the main plot in the first half for character development/familiarity as long as you dedictate the second half to answering the questions you propose and tying up the loose ends. This Ichigo development is a detrimental setback to pad out the second half and waste valuable time that could've been spent on explaining shit by adding dramatic flair to the seperation arc.

True, in the Music Pulitzer's history, popular artists were merely given an Additional Citation like Bob Dylan or Hank Williams. Where it came down to timing that the one year that they opened up to looking out for a popular musician as opposed to classical or jazz musicians, it'd be the year where DAMN. came out and thought into his other discography wasn't something they had in mind during 2012 or 2015.

It's pretty impressive for Kendrick since he's the first winner that isn't a classical symphony artist or a jazz musician, but To Pimp a Butterfly and Good Kid M.A.A.D. City are more deserving of a Pulitzer than DAMN. TPAB especially was an amazing cohesive album and felt far more meaningful in comparison.

To be honest, you might just have to try your luck at thrift stores and see if they have something that isn’t a stray volume of a mid-2000’s shoujo manga. Amazon would be ideal, but with the cost of shipping, it’s the same price as buying it new at Barnes & Noble. Unless they are charging a couple cents for a used copy so the shipping would just make it $6, you’ll be paying $8-15 for most manga used or new.

I thought the last episode made this already abysmal show even worse and set back any world building that could’ve been done by foregoing the teen drama and Ichigo taking advantage of an opportunity that would never work out, but it’s going overboard to threaten most of the staff involved. Despite hating the episode, it was still very effective and made me curious about what will happen as the end result of Ichigo fracturing most of the competent pilots. It didn’t make me think I should send angry letters to the people who make this show happen or send death threats. If everyone survived the show’s first few episodes of cuckholding, Ichigo taking advantage of Hiro and Zero Two at their most vulnerable state should gel just fine with time. Otaku are crazy so they would go out of their way to do shit like this because a show has drama or cliffhangers or twists this ballsy. It is a testament though to how popular this show will be in retrospect when fans will talk about “Episode 13” and “Episode 14” the same way they discuss moments in other spectacle anime like Gurren Lagann or Code Geass. Still shit, but damn did it make people freak out.

I’ve played every Yakuza game since the PS2 except for Yakuza 2 (never got around to buying it back when they sold PS2 games everywhere). Love the series and how it’s come so far from a GTA-friendly English dub where everyone and Mark Hamil curses up a storm, to having content delayed and removed because Sega’s American branch was out of touch, to eventually being celebrated for all of its fun and quirkiness now that it hit its stride in the West. I want to get Song of Life soon cause it looks amazing, but I still have 5 and 0 to wrap up so it might take some time before I can justify getting it. I’m kicking myself for not downloading the early demo with access to the full game.

Would it taste better uncooked?

You didn't think this was art?

I absolutely loved the last episode’s flashback with 02 and Hiro’s relationship when it first started. It was cute, adorable, and meaningful. It gave us potential for something more than just teen drama bullshit and gave Hiro & 02 more to work with. And then this episode happened. Ichigo truly is the antagonist of this show, trying to force herself on Hiro after the fucktons of times he didn’t return her feelings. And yet, she never got the hint and used the sentiment against 02 to force her out and wedge herself into Hiro’s life against his will yet again, as if that worked the first time. Fuck off Ichigo. No one likes you, and you’ve done so much to make this show actively worse whenever you show up. Well, Goro does, but he deserves better than your thottery after she up and did all of this in front of him.

And on top of that, cover the tracks from his own criminal wrongdoing. It's like how he would go on a Twitter war with Russia to make it look like that would absolve him from collusion accusations, except this is a personal bid to have people think he couldn't possibly have been a patron to numerous sex workers in his lifetime if he made laws against their existence. Everyone knows he's bullshitting, but people either don't care or don't have the power to expose him in a way that has him face any actual consequences.
