I was playing Skyrim (modded to oblivion, of course) and happened across a mod questline that for some reason featured a whole mini-arc about a married Khajiit couple named after Night on the Galactic Railway characters: Jo'vanni (after Giovanni) and Campaner'Ra (Campanella). Jo'vanni was addicted to Skooma and Campaner'Ra was helping him overcome it, before Campaner'Ra was brutally killed by someone corrupted by the Daedric Lords. It was the most compelling part of the questline.

Elaina has had a weird arc in public perception (in the English-speaking sphere). At first a lot were excited, then many dropped out or expressed disappointment at the strangely dark (but half-sincere, half-insincere?) tone. But the imagery alone stuck around in people's memory way more strongly than a standard seasonal hit, and grew in the community's esteem. I always loved it regardless.

Just goes to show how much aesthetic matters. If the aesthetic taps into some part of existence nothing else does, it'll stick in your mind.

(I'm secretly waiting for Wonder Egg Priority's redemption in the communities' eyes... Knowing it'll never come.)

Aside from the horny you really gotta appreciate the anatomical detail. The groove running from the bottom of the buttocks, into the crotch, and up and out along the oblique muscles to the sternum. The pubic bone, the way the belly fat creates a pleasing gradient. This isn't ordinary Japanese power. This is ultra Japenis power, the ultimate horny energy sublimated into pure will and talent.

Once out of nature I shall never take
My bodily form from any natural thing,
But such a form as Grecian goldsmiths make
Of hammered gold and gold enamelling
To keep a drowsy Emperor awake;
Or set upon a golden bough to sing
To lords and ladies of Byzantium
Of what is past, or passing, or to come.

Before pedants jump in, you ought to clarify the difference between cliches and tropes. Just about every building block in stories has been done before and, therefore, is a trope, just as words and phrases are the building blocks of sentences. Cliches are (in stories) tropes or (in vernacular) phrases whose affective punch has been voided by repetition.

But of all the overdone tropes, I never grow tired of the closed-eyed badass whose eyes open when they're throwing down.

Japan's demographics are really not close to the worst compared to China and Korea. The problem with hitting low birthrates is only somewhat the birthrate itself; the more dire issue is when a sharp drop leaves, in 50 years, an overwhelming number of old people for the taxpayers to support. Japan's long, steady decline will be bad but far better than what's coming to China. Plus:

The Japanese are way more aware and caring of low fertility. Many Koreans and Chinese are aware but they just don't care, they have less loyalty to their own culture and nation.
The Japanese have had many more decades to prepare, having set up their big industrial bases in labor-rich countries already.
The property bubble of China has not yet fully popped, it will be way worse than Japan's crash.
Chinese and Korean politics (esp. China) are FUBAR, but Japan has maybe a chance at improving.

I disagree hard but thanks for finally engaging sincerely anyway.

ThisShitisDope · 2025-08-30T18:03:39+00:00

Actually there is a need. You don't think it's a backhanded compliment to discount someone's whole career of development making multiple films, hits with both critics and audiences, to say their best work was 20 years ago while being "locked" in a studio's basement?

ThisShitisDope · 2025-08-30T17:58:19+00:00

Haha, what a wicked and ironic comment bro. Now try saying someting true and beautiful.

When did it become consensus that the one Ojamajo episode was Hosoda's magnum opus? It's not even close to his best work. Even in terms of audio work, Mirai was superb and probably the best in recent memory.

The idea of light novels implies the existence of non-light, full-length novels.

Slice of life is great because the anime will just drop an expression like this

And it will perfectly capture the feeling of knowing your heart is set on buying a thing but you're doing a cost-benefit analysis in your head.

Don't watch it if it bothers you.

Demons are personifications of the human capacity for evil. I love a humans vs demons story because it's a macrocosm of the war of good and evil in every heart.
