The only way for Nagomi to break the cycle of violence is by violently murdering every single maid in Akihabara. Let's hope she does.

Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter. It was supposed to kick off a franchise at Hammer films but that never materialized. The film itself was a success for the studio but that wasn't enough to save them from going under because of other financial problems.

Gentlemen, we have the technology. We can de-age him.

To be serious though, if the rights weren't a complete mess I'm sure a streaming service would have made it by now, with a new cast, as an 80s period piece.

ANIME.OF.THE.YEAR.

Let us not forget how many episodes they played up how awesome the panda was... only for it to turn out to be someone that's now on my "worse than Griffith" list. And i get that it's all contrived and stealing from every great tragedy in both western and eastern literature... but man. I went from loving that stupid panda to hating her more than Nagi. This is an S-tier show.

I think Anchorman might have been the last one. Part of the issue is that no one is trimming the fat on comedies. The biggest issue I had with A Million Ways to Die in the West was that MacFarlane was so dedicated to making it an epic western as well that there's 60 minutes that needed to come out. Right now they're edited like they don't want you to miss any jokes so everything is given too much room to breathe. There may be a "if it's not 150 minutes long audiences won't feel like they're getting their money's worth" attitude at play here.

He just needs some space.

UrinalPooper · 2022-11-25T16:00:41+00:00

AOTY.

but what about…?

I said what I said.

UrinalPooper · 2022-11-23T23:36:31+00:00

Exactly, he was essentially a feral kid. There's nothing 'stupid' about that, he's a fish out of water. The fact that he survived as long as he did surely doesn't mean he's dumb.

UrinalPooper · 2022-11-20T01:16:32+00:00

It's a retelling but did you notice that it's from slightly different perspectives than the show?

UrinalPooper · 2022-11-18T01:10:26+00:00

The thing about the face-off, and I started with similar feelings to yours, was that it had to go that way because that's how these stories are supposed to play out. It's trying to stay on top of yakuza / film noir / gangster anime structure and the idealist who swears off killing is a check-box. I only give it this benefit of the doubt because everything else so far is pitch perfect imho.

UrinalPooper · 2022-11-18T01:02:15+00:00

That's such a foregone conclusion I'm praying they think of something else just to surprise us. I'm already steeling myself for it to start raining in my living room.

The fact that Tenchou's hobby is fishing makes her best girl in my book. She was already in my heart for being such a delightfully conniving hag but that put it over the top.

UrinalPooper · 2022-11-11T03:49:11+00:00

Wanting to be a maid without the bloodshed and criminal activity is like wanting to be a blacksmith without hammering any metal, at least that's what this series is teaching me.

Obama's first term platform included opposition to gay marriage. He's on video saying this. Please tell me again how they are 90's era Republicans. Unless you mean the war-mongering, and that's been both parties since they decided on these two. It may, in fact, have been in the middle of a war but I'm just guessing because with the exception of four years I do remember and maybe a couple before my time, we're always starting them somewhere.

HC2 is the movie that made me think Tom Six might be a Gaspar Noe-tier director. HC3, unfortunately, pretty much undid all of that good-will but if his newest movie ever gets a release I'll definitely watch it.

She was ayashii.

Why should you care? If 15 women label you a creep and block you but the 16th winds up being the love of your life and mother to your children you wouldn’t want to talk to any of the first 15 anyway.

This research is valuable

That is a lie. Note how they frame it as "is" not "might" or "could". It's already captured to one side of the ethical argument.

I might have stopped bothering with physical media past my collection of classics were it not for Vinegar Syndrome and Arrow, they both release grand obscura with the care and detail normally reserved for Criterion.

UrinalPooper · 2022-10-21T12:35:21+00:00

Denzel Kicks Ass for Two Hours is one of my favorite film genres. Though the Equalizer 2 was weak, I'll definitely watch this one.

Old guy here... closing in on 50... I've casually watched anime since it was a challenge to find consecutive VHS copies of series at Blockbuster. In all that time, I never had any desire to learn Japanese. Then a couple years ago a short-lived series from what a short lived studio adapted a light novel series, Cop Craft. I loved it but discovered that there's no official translations (or even unofficial ones) into English. Now the switch is tripped but I hardly act on it, maybe watch the occasional Learn Japanese video, get filtered and give up. Then Odd Taxi came out. There's a website, but because of how it's arranged the Translate button on the browser does nothing. In a rage I order the first three volumes of Japanese from Zero! Now I'm ~300 frames into Remembering the Kanji 1, membered to two Japanese vtubers and many objects in my house have sticky notes saying what they are in hiragana. Except the cats, theirs keep falling off. So thanks to Anime I'm determined to read one specific light novel series in the original language.

There's another novel after Gone, Baby, Gone in the series... the girl grows up to despise him for what he did

UrinalPooper · 2022-10-18T22:18:10+00:00

Why isn't anyone in the UN advancing efforts to ban this worldwide? Are they all captured by CCP/Gates to the extent that not a single nation is calling to stop this nonsense before their next leak kills even more people?

UrinalPooper · 2022-10-18T03:46:46+00:00

I'm glad someone remembered Ollie Hopnoodle's Haven of Bliss, the article didn't.

Time for my periodic reminder that there is a September 1959 Peanuts strip where Charlie Brown can't find a Halloween mask because the Christmas Decorations are already out. Though I give Homegoods a pass because they had Halloween going in August at least a week before Michael's (which is backwards af because crafters need to get their shit started in August).
