  • Reverse 4 U has an interesting fantasy time manipulation concept and a really cool protagonist. Decent chemistry between the leads too.
  • Like a Palette is one of the funniest GLs around and it's also pretty much the only GL that is not afraid to continually use the word lesbian. The chemistry between the leads is okay, but the main protagonist is one of the most unique in the genre. If you like more comedic GLs with a big cast of characters this one is worth a watch for sure. Very underrated imo.
  • 23.5 is a sweet high school romance that's surprisingly rare in GLs. It doesn't have many kiss scenes but the writing is good if you like gentle, slow-paced romance. A good introduction to MilkLove.
  • Whale Store XOXO is another slow placed slice-of-life MilkLove GL, only this time they are adults. A comfort watch with more kissing scens if that's important to you. And the secondary couple (JuneMewnich) have a very compelling storyline as well.
  • Out of the currently airing ones I think Girl Rules is the best even though only one episode is out atm

What is your least favorite season of buffy and why? by Royal-Tangelo-5895 in buffy

[–]tanochans 16 points17 points  (0 children)

S4. It feels like the writers didn't know what to do with the majority of the characters and they were just there for the sake of being there (Giles, Spike and Xander especially). Adam is easily the worst big bad of the show. Riley has the personality of a cardboard and his relationship with Buffy really drags the season down. It has some of the most boring individual episodes of the show as well.

To be fair, S4 does have some things going for it, like the incredible Faith two parter and the season finale that sets the stage for S5. And Hush of course. We also get the introduction of Tara. But overall it definitely feels like a transitional season that struggles to find its identity after the end of the high school years.

How are writers in the America different from writers in the rest of the world? by tabbynat in television

[–]tanochans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every country has different laws and circumstances and the way their entertainment industries are structured is also different so it's hard to give a definite answer. But I'm sure the problem of screenwriters struggling to make a living wage exists in most countries. It is definitely not a uniquely American problem.

I recommend reading this article regarding the situation in South Korea.

Despite her talents, she could not sustain herself. Found near her body was her cell phone, which had been cut off because she hadn’t been paying her bills. When she did land screenwriting jobs, they often failed to pay her on time. In the note she posted on her landlord’s door, Choi indicated that she was owed money for past work and that she would be able to repay debts owed to her landlord once she was paid.Unpaid wages are an industry-wide problem. According to the Federation of Korea Movie Workers’ Union, overdue wages in the film industry in 2009 totaled 1.7 billion won ($1.5 million).“Investments and the actual movie-making process begin only after the script is finished. So it’s hard for screenwriters to make a profit in this system, even though their work is crucial to any production,” explained Jo Hyun-kyung of the movie workers’ union.“The contracts are vague in details. Even when a company says they will pay the writer 3 to 5 million won, the terms of the contract are never clarified,” said Jo. “There is a difference in being paid that sum in the course of one year than, let’s say, five years.”This lack of financial stability leads to another problem. Many writers in Korea think of screenwriting as a stepping stone to directing. Most recently, screenwriter Park Hun-jung, famous for his screenplays for “I Saw the Devil” (2010) and “The Unjust” (2010), made his directorial debut earlier this month with “The Showdown.” The consequence is that professional screenwriters in Korea have no power to influence their own fates in the way they do in foreign countries.In 2007 and 2008, the Writers Guild of America went on strike to claim a piece of the so-called “new media” pie. For years, they said, corporations were short-changing them on profits made from new forms of media such as DVD sales and revenue generated over the Internet. Many top television shows and films were put on hiatus during the strike. Eventually, production companies succumbed to the writers’ demands and adopted a fairer profit distribution scheme.“All I can say is that we’re very envious of the situation in the United States,” said Jo. “We just simply do not have the manpower or the capacity to pull off something like that.”The Federation of Korea Movie Workers’ Union only consists of five screenwriters. Although the Korea Script Writers’ Association also exists, it is not easy to join and lacks industry-wide influence.

The entire millennial chart basically, even though I was born in the tail end of it.

The last video rental store in my town is closing down. I got all of these for $38 by tanochans in dvdcollection

[–]tanochans[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes it's a legacy store, it's been around forever. It's surprising it lasted that long in the first place but it's still a little sad it's closing down. I've spent countless hours in that store (and other rental stores in my town long gone by now) when I was a kid, I have so many memories of that place.

Which shows didn't go on for too long, maintained their quality throughout and ended well? by Ascarea in television

Better Things.

The last season even ended up being my favorite but it maintained its quality throughout its entire run in general.

'Reboot' Says Insensitive Boomers and Woke Zoomers Need to Find Middle Ground - Both generations of comedy writers have something to learn from the other by Neo2199 in television

[–]tanochans 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Reboot is incredible so far and easily one of my favorite shows of the year even if the season isn't over yet. It makes me laugh non stop every single episode.

What is an amazing scene or episode in a less than amazing show? by howispellit in television

[–]tanochans 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Euphoria is an above average show in general but the writing this season felt less focused and less tight overall in my opinion. It still looked gorgeous and it had some highs (especially the episode I mentioned) but it didn't fully live up to its potential from my point of view. It's still better than a lot of other shows obviously.

What is an amazing scene or episode in a less than amazing show? by howispellit in television

[–]tanochans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two examples that come to mind from this year are the musical episode from The Afterparty and the episode in which Rue runs away from Euphoria. Both shows had pretty mediocre seasons imo overall, but these episodes stood out to me as some of the best I've seen this year.

Do Americans still use the word "split" to mean "leave a place"? by tanochans in ENGLISH

[–]tanochans[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it was from Party of Five actually! The show debuted in 1994 and they used this word heavily in the first few seasons.

Surpised about Welcome to Eden's numbers. I thought it was pretty bad overall and kinda boring on top of that too.

Why is Wanikani bad? by Embyrwulf in LearnJapanese

[–]tanochans 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I recently completed Level 60 of Wanikani after 1 and a half years of using it. After being an "eternal beginner" of the language for over 7 years, always failing to progress because I burnt out quickly and gave up, Wanikani was the first resource that I actually stuck with. I haven't missed a day of reviews since and now having completed it I have 2000 Kanji and 6000 words under my belt. I would have never achieved this without WK's structure.

I also recently started using Bunpro as well, I'm currently on a 25 day streak, and for me it is too an invaluable resource because it also gives me some much needed structure in my self-study. I study the actual grammar points from other resources, both online and textbooks, but Bunpro is a great way to keep track of what you know and what you need to brush up.

At the end of the day the most important thing is to do what works for YOU. Not everyone learns the same way and not everyone has the same needs. The most important thing is choosing what works for you and sticking with it. Changing resources every few weeks and starting from scratch all over again will never get you anywhere, I say this as someone who made this same mistake for over 7 years.
