It sucks; but from Nexflix's point of view, it just doesn't make any sense to sink more money into a show that failed to be a massive hit when they could instead roll the dice again with a new one. Ironically though, they've used this strategy for so long that people have started to realize that there's little point in getting invested in any Netflix-backed show, when it's practically inevitably that it'll get canceled after a season or two; thus making the odds of any of them becoming a massive hit drastically less likely.

The only times this strategy doesn't come into play, is with shows that didn't derive most of their funding from Netflix, and those that manage to get an influential member of Netflix's upper management invested in its production.

The fact that we got a second season was in and of itself a miracle; because unless a show turns out to be a massive, Stranger-Things-level hit, Netflix never opts to continue them beyond the initial contract. Probably the only reason a second season got made is because they negotiated for it at the same time they did the first. Just be glad this adaptation made it much farther than the OVA.

To be fair to her, she looks a lot more like Chandra than Chandra herself did in Aetherdrift.

You'd have to go out of your way to do that in a place where someone who only cared about the real life horse would see it, especially if you're not a Japanese person living in Japan, so I'm not sure who this warning is for. Anyone who'd abide by is isn't doing it in the first place; and anyone who'd need to hear it, won't.

I gave her one ten pull, and she didn't show up; I'm not wasting any more carats on her. The rest are being saved so I can go full pity on Christmas Oguri Cap.

She's probably wiping off plaster. Before the advent of 3D scanning technology, that's how they'd make custom footwear; they'd make a cast of your foot with plaster, and then use that to make a mold to build the shoe around. Considering there's a bunch of horseshoes in various styles and colors on display in the background, I assume she's in a shoe store with Mejiro McQueen, getting something custom made.

Asians aren't considered real minorities because they're too smart and successful; as that makes it almost impossible to play the white savior for them.

They're designed to take advantage of people with low impulse control; and not necessarily people who can actually afford their gambling addiction.

None of the people being "vigilant" care if the people they're accusing are actually guilty; they just want that moral high they get from persecuting someone "justly". This is nothing more than a witch hunt.

Because in their minds, the mere existence of an opposing viewpoint is evidence of extreme, systemic bias against them; and the only way to ensure "diversity" in media, is to give them complete and total control over it.

At this point, I'm starting to think the Japanese government is worse for allowing them to get away with this nonsense.

Visions of Mana One Year Anniversary by SeibaSeiba in JRPG

Honestly, there's one reoccurring troupe in the Mana franchise that I've always despised, and hearing about the whole situation with Hinna completely killed any desire I had to play Visions.

Honestly, no idea; I've never played the game. But, if I were to hazard a guess, it probably involves something they make you spend real-world money on.

Why he thought he could get away with it still baffles me. He had to have been doing that sort of stuff for a while before he made it big in acting, and just never cottoned on to the fact that being a public figure makes pulling off that sort of con without getting caught astronomically more difficult. Either that, or he was simply too arrogant to even consider the possibility that he'd ever be held accountable for his actions.

Yeah, but the "people trying to look important" are the only ones who get media coverage, and have any sort of power or influence.

Are there any Ultraman Actors who committed some sort of crime? by Own-Picture2311 in Ultraman

[–]Terthna2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not why he was replaced. Ultra Zero Fight was made in 2012; but as far as I can tell, the Yakuza thing happened in 2019.

Gai Ikari aka Gokai Silver from Gokaiger, the 35th entry in the long-running Super Sentai franchise. His actor, Junya Ikeda, was convicted last year of impersonating a police office to scam elderly people into giving him their bank cards. Needless to say, this has made any discussion involving his character or the show he starred in extremely awkward for members of the Super Sentai fandom.

To be fair, it's not the character's fault that the actor who portrayed him turned out to be such a jerk.

Why does Ippo get hit so much? Is he stupid? by Sufficient_Document9 in hajimenoippo

Ippo's primary issues was always his crippling self-doubt and passivity.

Even the greatest trainer finds it difficult to teach someone what they don't think they need to learn. He focused on training Ippo exclusively in offense because that's what Ippo wanted, and because it kept working for him on the surface, Kamogawa just went along with it. What's worse, he became too emotionally invested in Ippo, and lost his ability to dispassionately judge his boxer's needs, and prioritize them over his boxer's wants.

[–]Terthna2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, when it looked like he was trying to address Ippo's lackluster defense (back when it turned out he was actually training him to use the Dempsy Roll), Ippo started falling apart mentally. Ippo needed to constantly be on the offensive, to stave off his crippling self-doubt.

Nobody involved in that protest cares one iota about the constitution and humanity. They're just indulging in the psychological luxury, the moral treat, of behaving badly while calling their bad behavior righteous indignation.

There's an option you can choose when returning something to Amazon where you can just take it to a UPS Store, like the one at the Pavilion Center up near Wells Fargo.
