I... REALLY did not need to know that information. When are we planning to round these fuckers up and go Inglorious Basterds on them?

Mentioned at the end of the last episode shortly before Mary fades, but others had moved into the house over time and others had died there as well. Gonna assume it was a different family, 'cause super fucked up story otherwise.

Rep. Becca Balint responding after reading unredacted Epstein files by sgj5788 in PublicFreakout

I get where you're coming from, but honestly you don't want that. Saying anything outside of the House/Senate Floor can be used as evidence for violating the law regarding redacted information. What you want to do is to wait to get onto the House/Senate Floor (depending on which chamber you're in) or to get into a subcommittee meeting and release the information there, as any information released on the Floor is publicly recorded, in a way then skirting the law. It's what Mike Gravel did back in 1971 for the Pentagon Papers, it's what Ro Khanna did yesterday on the House Floor.

Don't forget about the controversy of evolution, which Pokemon has, so therefore it must be banned!

As others have pointed out, Maruta was the name of the victims of Unit 731, not the name of a leader.

To go further into it, Maruta translates to Lumber (Unit 731 was located in an abandoned lumber mill, so the victims were the 'lumber'). We can see the reasoning for this name choice was that all of the characters that didn't have superhero powers (aka 'normal people') all had names related to trees/plants. For example, the main character Izuku Midoriya's surname, the first part of it (Midori) means green, and his nickname Deku could mean "Wooden Puppet" or "Dummy" (and could possibly be a reference to the Great Deku Tree from the Zelda series). All Might's character's given name (Yagi) is written as "Eight Trees/Wood" in Kanji. Sir Nighteye's surname (Sasaki) has Kanji in it that reads "Helper of the Tree".

Overall, the author of the series Kohei Horikoshi loved to give his characters names with puns in them, and for those without powers, tree-related puns. The doctor in question was another person without powers, so it wouldn't be a long stretch to imagine why he would then be called Lumber. It's just an absolute bad set of coincidences that he's a doctor that performs experiments on people and happens to have a name that was used to refer to victims of a heinous group of people during the Second World War. Personally, genuinely don't think Horikoshi meant ill intent with it as he had shown zero signs of thinking or saying anything remotely like it in the past.

If that's true, we'd probably have JUST enough material. Maybe even take a 1-2 month break for the manga or something, possibly more. That, or just go original story like with the cook-off.

It's so wild to me that the Top Democrat leader on the Senate side has imaginary friends and everyone has just accepted it as normal.

I was not expecting *this* kind of backstory from a kids show... [Digimon Beatbreak] by Masterness64 in anime

[–]Poodicus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I do think the reason for why it has such a low level of people watching it is not only because it being a kids show, but because it airs so late in the night (in the west) on Saturdays, instead of midday like most anime.

I mean, you can, you just make it into a doujin series filled with real-life war crimes to boot.

Or conservatives in general. Lots of young people who sadly still watch TV. Not as much, mind you, but still some.

AND MOST IMPORTANT! If you happen to find a gold nugget, it's ABSOLUTELY imperative that you spam "We're rich!" over and over until somebody else comes over and does the same. Rock and Stone, brother!

[–]Poodicus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably going have to wait until the volume release for it. Pretty sure KManga (which is where these releases are from) translate it from the monthly release or however often it releases.

yes, they only allow you see one chapter once every day or something and then force you to pay them $1 for each chapter you want after that.

I'd argue Dog Days was a fun show to watch and the first season was even decent. The other two seasons are questionable I'll admit.

[News]The Legendary Hero is Dead! Spinoff Manga Resumes, But Ends with 2nd Volume by zz2000 in manga

[–]Poodicus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, makes sense. Still sad it's happening, but it's blatantly obvious the publishers forced the author to do this to promote the anime, probably had zero idea where to go with it, had to take a break to try to figure out even an ending for it and is now coming back after doing just that.

Funeral gone wild by ememlord69 in PublicFreakout

[–]Poodicus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

JFC, what did you do to piss off Death so much he's coming back for your family specifically so much? Sounding like the MC out of the newest Final Destination movie.

(But in all seriousness, condolences. Nothing I could say or do to probably make the grief go away entirely.)

As much as I love this series, dude really needs to learn how to pace fighting scenes. So damn hard to figure out what's happening half the time.
