Top Gun

Why? He's a good writer who usually makes solid points.

ANN's reviewer was...not a fan.

That is an intensely stupid article. No animated movie, no matter how good, is going to pull in numbers like that. And they don't need to, given how much cheaper they are to make.

Totally read that one episode title as "Fucker of Doom."

Expected, but good to have confirmation. At least it's not a several-month wait this time.

That sounds more like a compliment to me.

Outer Wilds is an absolute masterpiece and you should actually play it now. I'm terrible at playing games I buy too but I'm so glad I started it on a whim.

Yeah, the series is usually pretty good at getting the basic science right, even when it's dressed up in its fun anthropomorphic style. The cancer cell encounters were meant to make the point that cancer originates from the body's own cells instead of being a foreign invader. Granted they probably went a bit too far with the "I'm a cell like you" angle, since no one who's had a personal encounter with cancer would ever have a single iota of sympathy for it, but the underlying point was valid. Something I'd never thought about until the show pointed it out was that all of our bodies occasionally produce new cells with mutated DNA, but our immune systems generally manage to remove them before they cause a problem. It's only when the process breaks down and these cells manage to gain a foothold somewhere that they become cancerous. As a fun aside, in addition to Code Black which got its own anime adaptation, there are at least a half-dozen other spinoff manga of the main series. The one set in a baby is a thinly-veiled excuse to draw chibi versions of all the characters, but the recent one set in a woman's body seemed like it had some fun potential.

If you can't read a couple of paragraphs then I'd love to see the quality of writing that you produce.

I've heard some pretty good stuff about this show. At the very least it's nice to get something that's a complete surprise.

Jotaro was pushing 40 in Part 3.

One episode in and it's incredible.

Not really a fan of the more washed-out blue-gray on this one for unread post icons. They don't draw attention as much as they should.

Not that I ever post in here anymore, but my God I'm glad that we're getting literally anything new. I mean my MAL watching list was down to weekly One Piece and ugh Shippuden. I don't even care all that much about Mugen Train, but at least it's something. At least we get Certified Best Boy Taiju.

That video gave me serious feels.

I can move it back if you want. I put it there because it had been weeks since it aired and no one seemed to be posting in it anymore.

So, uh...who predicted that?

Hoping against hope they find a way to air Gunbuster so I can bawl like a baby at the ending again!

The fast turnaround on new Dr. Stone is great news. The Titan rerun is whatevs; it doesn't surprise me at all that they'd repeat it if they could, but twice in a row is kind of silly. It's interesting that they've retained the IGPX broadcast rights all this time, and even more so that they're able to use Discotek's upcoming remaster. I remember not thinking much of it when it aired years back (if anything I thought the pilot microseries was a much more interesting premise), but if I'm bored enough I'll sit through it again.

The hell is a "Freevee"? For that matter I haven't heard of any of the other services that it's on. They all seem like device-specific things. Now if it was on Pluto that might be worth something.

I think I would have liked Black Lotus more if it was about a third shorter than it really was. There was a lot of dead air and repetition.

It's an Xfinity cloud DVR thing. Recordings go poof one calendar year from when they're recorded.

Picture me making the Excalibur face from Soul Eater. Hey, I legit liked it for what it was. I've actually been rewatching it before it auto-deletes from my DVR. The ending was batshit insane in the best way.

Heh, I actually thought of Dadan too. Whoopi could pull off that big "gruffly yelling at small children" energy.

Who and what now?
