  1. 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.
  2. 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.)
  3. Clearly something about bondage.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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?)
  7. 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.
  8. I torrent and then buy everything on physical media like a good boomer.
  9. The entire "Narou-kei" ecosystem of light novels are very much similar and very much suck, yes.
  10. Because most of them suck nards?
  11. But can he see without his glasses?
  12. Which Zoids was the one Toonami used to show back in the day with the tournament format?
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. At least they tell you exactly what's going on so you know how shitty they are in advance and can safely avoid them.
  16. A lifetime spent huffing gas range fumes would explain so much...
  17. Fatal Five was apparently one of Kevin Conroy's last Batman performances. I'm down with that.
  18. Still hoping for a stealth Ushio & Tora pickup from Sentai because it's supposed to be metal as hell.
