It’s alright, but I’m not a fan of the aftertaste.

I’m proud of Baki because it always felt like an underdog series. It’s such an easy series to clown on because of its art style or how quickly his daughter’s manga Beastars became well-received. But from the spoilers, it sounds like a good time. As a fan of K-Dramas, I also had a decent time with Squid Game. It’s definitely more of a death game serial than the romcom crime thrillers I’m used to, but it does tick the boxes I got from Battle Royale or DR.

I got into the second one last year and it’s been a great time.

Knowing that it came from the popularity of a meme rather than an interest in cooking, I can only assume this tastes like plain spaghetti tossed in some Jets Pizza sauce.

It’s always morbidly amusing to see which shutdown mega-chain has their store repurposed as a Spirit Halloween. This year, our closest K-Mart joined the club.

Ummmm

Sweet & Sour, Honey Mustard, or Sweet Sriracha.

That’s the one! I was trying to look up what it was online and directed a rant at the first result I saw without listening as to avoid having to hear it again. But congrats to Kreepa’s “Oh No” for being the only song designed to piss everyone off. Update - Just listened to the beginning of the Capone one today and heard the same chipmunk intro. I can’t get past it.

People play devil’s advocate for the stupidest ideas and the shittiest people on social media.

We’re still being lead to believe that James Cordon deserves to be in movies.

The Misadventures of Tron Bonne is probably my most expensive game. It was overpriced at around $50 back when I got it, but now it’s even steeper. Def Jam Fight for NY and Samurai Champloo Sidetracked are also games I got that ended up becoming even more expensive over time. Thrift shopping ended up landing me a couple games that I feel like skyrocketed over the years as well.

I can’t think of a song that was designed to piss people off as much as Capone’s “Oh No”. I feel like I need to listen to a really crappy song as a palette cleanse every time I hear it.

So far, I watched four of the shorts (Tatooine Rhapsody, The Twins, The Village Bride, and The Elder). I was looking forward to the Trigger shorts, but I honestly enjoyed the Village Bride and Tatooine Rhapsody the most. I still need to see the other ones, especially The Ninth Jedi and Lop & Ocho. It is weird how many celebrity voices there were in this, but of the shorts I saw, only The Twins felt like it was oddly cast.

I have old manga I collected from high school, but nowadays, I’ll buy single out-of-sequence manga volumes from parts of a story I liked in the anime adaptation.

I just heard a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s Gypsy from an indie band and my experience was like that. The dude sounded like he was from a bad Weezer cover band, but I was still vibing to it because the song is that nice. Same with covers of Heart of Glass and Everybody Wants to Rule the World. If it hits the same emotional notes as the original, then it doesn’t matter if it sounds like turds. I’m still having a good time.

I’d still have to stand by the ghost mom from The Grudge. I was trying to think of dudes just to balance the scale, but there aren’t many horror movie guys that would feel morally correct to shack up with. Maybe Pyramid Head.

For England, Seiya?

“Ah, yes. A foot fetish. Let me guess: Was it because your mom used to make you rub her feet? Or is it your aunt this time around? Did you used to play a lot of Sonic games growing up?”

Nowadays, I feel selfish for wanting to bring a child in to inherit this burning planet.

Not gonna lie, if they write Light Turner out entirely and make L the new Kira, it’ll be a way better movie than whatever the hell that first film was.

I was waiting to see if Demi was gonna come out with another September 21st video.

If all Superman had to do to win over Batman was mention Martha, maybe bringing up family might appeal to them in a way that will make them not want to stab or shoot.

Time is a cruel mistress. Yakuza’s first game has a goofy English dub, but even that had Mark Hamil to make up for it. Eventually, Yakuza 7 would get an English dub that has voice work from George Takei and a stellar cast of professional anime voice actors. Meanwhile, Shenmue’s z-grade voice acting is retained from game-to-game because the unnatural robotic conversations became a part of the game’s identity. I love the games, but much of its charm comes from being one of the most expensive and beloved kusoge out there.

A Shenmue anime wouldn’t feel complete if it didn’t sound like they pulled people from the street to record the dub.
