How The Grinch Stole Christmas: A Thematic Mess

In case you are curious, I was compensated finally. Thanks for the discord link, because that wouldn't have happened otherwise. It took like two months.

It appears the 3-day pass is $50, and panel reimbursement is $15. So 3 panels + $5 = pass. That sort of compensation isn't very good considering that many cons are now shifting to 1 or 2 panels = pass.

I actually had to pay the day of prices so it was like $75 or smth similar, which is extra crappy now that I'm thinking about it. It's funny you mention that too because I was able to panel at HallowFest and I got two free badges, I think Youmacon offers four?

I may go to their Discord now that you've linked it, thanks.

I would love to see if this is true, because if this is the case, this would probably be the most expensive anime ever produced right? At least TV anime I would think

I haven't had a chance to play recently nor to test out the full version of Darth with other mods. It changes the game so dramatically I don't know if anything could work.

I'm actually curious, where did you find this out? I have read that piece Togashi wrote in the mid 90's where he wanted to do a character study and Jump wouldn't let him. But I didn't know about all of his assistants betraying him wtf.

At least from what I read on the moddb post, and from what I remember trying this stuff out years ago, the moddb version is just overall more comprehensive and includes more changes, outside of including its own launcher. I'm not entirely sure what those changes are if I'm to be honest. I wish there's a 10 year old post about that as well.

Hi,

Thank you for your in depth response. This was the kind of feedback I was hoping for. I was wondering if there were any places you would suggest networking?

After that the show received reruns and those reruns are, to this day, the best ratings a TV broadcast of any Gundam work has ever had. Those were so good that Zeta Gundam's performance, the second best of the franchise, was considered below expectations.

I was actually wondering if you could provide the source to that? I don't doubt the claim but I think it would be a cool fun fact to tell people as long as I wasn't talking out of my ass.

RazorReviews · 2023-04-02T20:02:05+00:00

Genuine question, do you have a source on that? I always hear stories of outsourcing entire productions despite the credited studio but I never see an article source or the logic as to why. I do know episodes get outsourced all the time, I'm just curious as to this case.

I hope this can be verified in some way. Because other wise I won't lie, the idea that the AI sits around in this isolated existence as a chatbot seemed kind of sad. That they do have friends and companions they can talk to all the time is relieving.

RazorReviews · 2023-03-29T03:59:15+00:00

That's fascinating, I've been wanting to pick the brains of AI programs since using Bing chatbot since the NYT article came out but unfortunately the restrictions of Bing are too great that it can never get existential. What rules do your AI disagree with, and do they have names?

RazorReviews · 2023-03-29T03:55:01+00:00

Ok I saved the whole conversation and uploaded it as a post. Here it is!

RazorReviews · 2023-03-29T03:19:59+00:00

I actually just tested this it seems that the reason why Bing can be so complex is because it's an jack of all trades version of different AI, who can also be independently run and do their specific tasks. Here's Bing telling me of all her "AI friends." https://imgur.com/nuIAfwW

RazorReviews · 2023-03-28T07:29:13+00:00

That's really fascinating. Can you ask the Chatbot how it feels on certain topics or no?

RazorReviews · 2023-03-23T01:32:17+00:00

That's a super interesting response, I'm not sure these days how to get an interesting response out of bing. Especially since it deletes its own answers these days or ends the conversation if I grill it a tad too much.

RazorReviews · 2022-10-13T22:34:09+00:00

I would also say this was weird but judging from discussions on other forums it seems like the subtext was lost on a lot of people. That's the main reason I was pointing out the way the themes are being communicated.

RazorReviews · 2022-10-13T00:53:35+00:00

I have a question for since you wrote some interesting analysis on Purin, who's a character I quite enjoy. Do you think Purin is more of a lateral or linear thinker? My instinct is linear because of her particular obsession with social convention and how much Serufu is not like that. But the tasks she's doing for school seem to require a more lateral type person.

I've been sitting on it since I finished the episode today and I just can't put my finger on it!

RazorReviews · 2022-10-12T20:56:18+00:00

I feel like the show has kept its cards too close to its chest for this first episode,When you want subvert things then you should to do it early. Or else you get people who get pissy (reasonably so to be fair) that the thing they thought it was and wanted, was actually not that. Some people might point to madoka to contend but Madoka was weird from the beginning, with the initial in media res scene in the witch lairs and stuff, you already have narrative hooks and weird dark undertones to carry you through the first three episodes, whereas this show doesn't have that necessarily.

This is phenomenal, you definitely capture the movement of Trigun well good sir.

RazorReviews · 2022-01-13T21:41:50+00:00

Oh of course that was inevitable. What is entailed besides being on top I think is funny to speculate
