Top Gun

Jesus...what wouldn't I? Maybe try working on the anxiety thing a good decade or so before I actually did so I can figure out how interpersonal relationships are supposed to work. Do some shit I never did as a kid, even if it was getting consoles I never owned. Get family medicals medical treatment before they actually received it. For damn sure make sure I chose a different major in college. Maybe pick up on signals that certain people were throwing my way but I was totally oblivious to. Try meeting certain people even earlier than I originally did, but definitely make sure I still met them regardless. Not wind up in a job that gives me no real satisfaction, with no sense of what I actually want to do. That'd be nice.

What exactly do you want them to say? "We're doing our very best here, but we're having to deal with several dozen people with several dozen different personal schedules recording with several dozen different personal equipment and environment setups, and it's a massive pain in the ass to collate all of this and produce something listenable in a timely manner"? They'd just be stating the obvious. If even one of the primary actors working on any of theses shows has some sudden tech issue pop up, or some personal crisis related to the weird-ass situation we all find ourselves in, FUNi can't release an episode. I'm sure they've been essentially stretching themselves to the breaking point trying to get out what they have so far.

I was trying to think of what episodes I'd most like. Has to be either All Might's beatdown of Nomu from the climax of the first season, or UNITED STATES OF SMAAAAASH!

Dammit, I really hoped they'd be able to get this one on time. Ah well, what can you do.

Hey look, Jingo found a new folder to shit all over.

Real talk though, a mecha series. But definitely the super robot kind, where MANLY SPIRIT and kicking reason to the curb can solve every problem, not the real robot kind where everything is hideously depressing and most of the cast dies. A hard sci-fi series could be great too, where you'd get access to something like Ghost in the Shell's cyberbrains (but hold the dystopian future). I'd kill to live in the world of Planetes, where there's a huge infrastructure of people working and living in space. At the end of the day though, if you're looking for pure adventure, you can't beat One Piece as far as I'm concerned. A huge unexplored world full of unknown mysteries, a nigh-infinite array of Devil Fruit abilities...sounds like a blast.

The usual Kawahara bullshit?

La Blue Girl. ...wait no.

If you're seriously spending any mental energy worrying about the programming choices of a late-night cable block, you need to seriously fucking reevaluate your priorities.

I'm dead. You have killed me.

I would pay anything to hear TOM drop N.W.A. lyrics.

Oh, he knows goddamn well.

Seriously though, by all accounts MAPPA puts out good work, and the production side of AoT was apparently a massive clusterfuck at Wit, so hopefully this turns out well.

Tamaki needs to die in a goddamn fire.

...they had literally days' notice on a few of these episodes not being ready, and probably no discretionary budget to grab something unplanned out of the blue. The fuck do you want them to do?

Damn. This is terrible.

I'm hoping against hope that rerunning season 1 of Mob means that we're finally getting season 2 after it.

MGDMT was the shit.

Hey there's a lot of good shit from back in the 80s and early-to-mid 90s. Back when they featured actual characters and actual animation.

A single person sitting alone in a recording booth is miles away from 70,000 people crammed in close proximity in a stadium.

Fully expected this to happen at some point. Honestly it's an amazing accomplishment that they managed to get the previous two episodes out as quickly as they did.

So I'm the coolest motherfucker on the planet, then. 😎
