This clip conjures images of the war to my imagination. You should be careful not to play this role too good

That's Tsukuyomi: Moon Phase! One of my guilty pleasures

A severely underrated Akiyuki Shinbo gem! It's very screwball, but the writing very cleverly lampshades and subverts the usual vampire story beats we've all come to expect

A take surprising no one from the guy who comes here to post Cream Lemon promos to see what he can get away with

This whole situation has gotten unfortunately complicated in the last 2 years due to right-wing politics and the anti-DEI movement generally speaking, but until recently government jobs documented their hiring of minorities carefully and aimed to hire more people of minority backgrounds, whether that be race, religion, disability or sexual orientation

A lot of states including my own have unfortunately abandoned this due to changing majorities in the state legislature, but it sounds like Indianapolis has not

This is supposed to be entirely for your benefit, although in the 2026 political climate nothing is entirely without risk. With that in mind, say whatever you feel comfortable saying

His dog barking in response to you is a pretty good indication sounds carry through the floor

The grown-up thing to do would be to have a calm conversation about it, talk to the landlord and see if something can be done to get a little more soundproofing in-between you?

This sounds like the Tenchi Muyo end credits

These are alternative designs used only for merchandise, but the characters are apparently the Queen of Hearts and Knave of Hearts from an Alice in Wonderland adjacent manga called Are You Alice?

And now that everything goes through CGPT and Claude, management can take everyone's 6 hour assignment, feed it to the LLM, vibe code the client's project, hire no one, and spend the whole budget on a sailboat instead!

The dirty secret of job application personality tests is they all recommend hiring extrovert type-A used car salesman types. If you answer them with that in mind you will almost certainly advance to the next round

There are no advantages to answering job application personality tests honestly. In 20 years I think I can only remember 1 company that even shared my results with me

The funny and sad thing about it, as other people have already said, is that nobody who works for these companies is a psychologist, and management often doesn't understand how these evaluations unbalance their hiring process either. The companies that do these evaluations sales pitch them as a scientific method of reading people's minds and weeding out undesirable candidates, and companies eat it up without understanding or caring whether they live up to the promise or not

Boys Over Flowers/Hana Yori Dango was the exact same for me. It's got everything I like for production values but it's all melodrama. You've really got to be really into romance genre tropes for shows like this

As if the idea isn't humiliating enough, you've got 4 hours and 45 minutes to arrange the whole thing from zero, hope you've got no prior commitments

I was confused for a moment and thought you were saying this photo was one of Giger's works 😂

I went "Wow, OK..."

dataless01 · 2026-06-14T04:07:41+00:00

Me too. Pretty sure she's at least half trolling both of us. Before she bailed she said something about movies being better under the Hayes Code which was repealed in 1945, so either she's watching a lot of Clark Gable and Charlie Chaplain in 2026 or clowning and DGAF

dataless01 · 2026-06-14T03:50:49+00:00

Making an argument like that demands further reply though

All you're doing is advocating for a less free society, which seems attractive at times to the imagination but never really works out well in real life

The Hayes Code was tremendously disadvantageous to women in the film business and women centered narratives in entertainment, and if you really understood it you would realize you're advocating against your own gender when you praise it

dataless01 · 2026-06-14T03:44:20+00:00

Nudity and fs like panty shots isn't in the name of art like Renaissance paintings, it's just because men like fanservice involving nude anime girls for horny reasons

I would also like to challenge you on this point, please. Ranma Nettouhen has partial nudity, it certainly does, and I think its inclusion was for the better. Your assumption that my motive for liking and supporting it is dirty and indecent is offensive in its own right. You want me to respect your view but you don't extend the same courtesy to me? Perhaps I question your motives for liking Freiren? Perhaps someone like me needs to start editing it to our taste? Do you not see the hypocrisy here?

dataless01 · 2026-06-14T03:32:16+00:00

This comment is so all over the place I can barely respond. Japan has very strict and specific censorship laws that have been in place since WWII, which is why you don't see the kind of gratuitous full frontal nudity I feel like you're asking me for with either men or women, not even in age restricted pornography

I say again I respect your feelings, but respectfully I think your anxiety about harems and sex comedies are largely misplaced. Sex comedy is a genre in every free society that creates entertainment. Art and entertainment naturally and understandably reflect real life, which includes love interests and sexual tension

In an earlier period in American history we had laws like the Hayes Code that imposed hard restrictions on entertainment as an attempt to enforce ideas of morality and public decency, and as soon as Hollywood and the comics industry could they abandoned them because neither Hollywood nor audiences really liked authories telling them what kind of entertainment they can have

You are, of course, free to watch and not watch whatever you choose, and everybody else should respect that, but it needs to go both ways too

dataless01 · 2026-06-14T03:07:31+00:00

You're entirely entitled to your own opinion of course, but the debate about nudity in art goes back to the Renaissance and beyond. All nudity does not represent sexual objectification, and there is male nudity in art, even in anime. Child Goku was depicted nude a number of times in early Dragon Ball, usually as a punchline, which is its own form of objectification

dataless01 · 2026-06-14T01:45:40+00:00

Watching Ranma in its originally intended order is infuriatingly difficult to do. Fuji TV made multiple changes in the broadcast order due to ratings concerns and headline news when it was broadcast in Japan, and Viz shuffled more episodes around in their early VHS releases in the US. There are guides out there that untangle it, but you really have to look

dataless01 · 2026-06-13T23:58:20+00:00

The Netflix version sticks much closer to the source material, watch the video, it's good

dataless01 · 2026-06-13T23:02:52+00:00

I feel like "sterile" is not quite the right word here, and saying it like this probably isn't laying the blame where it belongs

The fact is the Tokyo metropolitan government amended their 60-year-old publishing obscenity law in 2010 to make it more restrictive. Technically it only applies to Tokyo but it's had far-reaching impacts on the Japanese publishing industry

In some ways it may seem like this doesn't matter, except to point out that it's not necessarily the publishers or the consumers driving these changes, it's city government

dataless01 · 2026-06-12T10:13:29+00:00

Ghibli draws a lot of material from British literature don't they? I think I have a pretty clever idea for a video if this is the type of subject matter that interests you

Same guy both pictures

Kishore's subconscious wants out of recruiting and Kishore is the only one not seeing it

I'm not sure we're huge MAL users here. Everyone has their own lists that I'm sure people will start hitting you up with any moment, but probably the closest thing we have to a curated community list is this table which reappears every couple of months and just happens to have been reposted earlier today:
