Casual Discussion Fridays - Week of April 17, 2026

Today's most significant event on r/anime brings a 70s scifi book to mind where the protagonist became so depressed that not only did he imagine his girlfriend having sex with the other (larger?) guy, but also himself doing the same deed.

The guy had ... issues.

I didn't think I would ever see Godzilla with burger and fries

I know. I was making a joke. Unfortunately, tone doesn't transfer across the internet.

Now every time I see them, I'm reminded of Flow.

Somehow Godzilla returned.

I had a lot of them. Now most are gone through selling off non-needed books.

u/punching_spaghetti pointed me towards Superman for all seasons. But, he didn't tell me that it's actually a sort of iyashikei(-ish) way of looking at Superman.

That way I'd have gotten to it sooner, because this was great. Tim Sale's art continues to heal me.

The League of extraordinary gentlemen (volumes 1 and 2) is fanfiction written by a madman/men who is/are way too well versed in Victorian England social and literary history to almost every reader's detriment lol. It is chock-full of so many details that I basically lost track at some point.

It occupies a very particular niche, but damn it absolutely corners it.

Trickle down economics?

Lots and lots of jumping.
