Top Gun

ahahahaha holy shit Genndy 😄

I think it's pretty obvious that we're not supposed to buy in to what's happened to them right now. Emma was clearly set up as an object of sympathy and/or horror with how her life was ripped away from her. It wasn't okay, and we're meant to think it wasn't okay. There's definitely going to be a lot more going on with her character moving forward, and I'm interested in seeing where Genndy takes her. Likewise, Edred is meant to come across as a dickbag, because like Poke said he doesn't realize that something's off this time, and here's this woman he's loved across millennia suddenly not knowing he exists. I'll give him a bit of benefit of the doubt for now. And then Alfie...well, Alfie is tripping balls. Interesting that he's the only one of the three who sees to have a separate consciousness from the original Seng. At any rate, color me intrigued by the first two episodes. I'm seriously digging the aesthetic here, such a cool classic-feeling style. Genndy is an absolute master at taking bits of inspiration from disparate genres and smashing them together into an entertaining whole. Forcible soul transfers aside, I love our robot fren Copernicus.

Hell yeah Dr. Stone. Assuming this doesn't include the canon between-seasons OVA though, since those never seem like they're up for grabs.

I think you're misunderstanding some of the ideas of relativity here. There are two main types of "time dilation" (i.e. time appearing to move differently in another object compared to a local observer) that are consequences of relativity. Special relativity shows that a clock moving relative to an observer will seem like it's running slower than a clock in the observer's frame of reference. And via general relativity, a clock in a weaker gravitational field (for instance, in orbit vs. on the Earth's surface) will appear to run faster than one in a stronger gravitational field. However, in both of those cases, we're talking about the apparent elapsed time relative to another frame of reference, hence the name. When we talk about needing to make adjustments to GPS to account for relativity, it's because all of the satellites involved are moving relative to the Earth's surface and each other, and they're all in a weaker gravitational field, and GPS depends on making very precise measurements of signal times to determine your position. It doesn't make any sense to say that our body's cells would experience discrepancies when in a particular environment, because at any given moment our entire bodies are essentially all in the same frame of reference, and are thus experiencing the flow of time in the same way. I mean I guess you could say that the cells in your head are experiencing a very smaller amount of gravity than those in your feet, but that effect would be so minuscule as to not even matter. (Fun fact: due to these effects, astronauts who have stayed on the ISS for long periods of time have technically aged slightly less than those of us on the ground, but even being in space for a solid year would cause a discrepancy of only a tiny fraction of a second. Just...do yourself a favor and don't dig into the twins paradox.)

Clearly something about bondage.

Don't cocktease us Genndy.

Escaflowne never airing on [as] and/or Toonami remains an absolute crime. Gorgeously-animated fantasy mecha action by a lauded staff, an all-time great Yoko Kanno soundtrack, a classic dub (let's ignore that McNuggets-infested Kickstarter one)...everything about it screams a perfect fit.

There are a lot of us out there who don't give a shit about how "adult" something is or isn't, but instead how good it is. I'd drag out the CS Lewis quote if I wasn't feeling lazy.

Man, I spent way too many hours on Superdickery.com back in the day. Good times. ("As popular as Ringo!" sure is damning with faint praise isn't it?)

Okay that looks kickass.

If Princess Principal airs I will never get the OP out of my brain. ...who am I kidding it's been lodged in my brain for 4 years now. Seriously, this goes so fucking hard.

Ping Pong was goddamn incredible.

I torrent and then buy everything on physical media like a good boomer.

The entire "Narou-kei" ecosystem of light novels are very much similar and very much suck, yes.

Because most of them suck nards?

But can he see without his glasses?

USHIO. AND. TORA.

Aw hell yeah.

Which Zoids was the one Toonami used to show back in the day with the tournament format?

One of the all-time greats. I've barely dipped my toe into his work, and I'd like to see far more of it.

Hot damn.

God I need to watch Dynazenon already.

I've heard that these movies defeat the entire purpose of the source novels, i.e. telling the full story of the game, because they repeatedly skip way the hell ahead in the story. Makes me wonder why they bothered. Oh, and the only canon that's needed is TWO YEARS' WORTH.

At least they tell you exactly what's going on so you know how shitty they are in advance and can safely avoid them.

A lifetime spent huffing gas range fumes would explain so much...
