Remember when there was an absolute fucking menagerie of search engines? How many of those still exist in any meaningful way?
Have you tried Bing? I can't see it being any better considering how hard Microsoft is going on AI.

Nona from Pete & Pete passed away. She was only 39. What a world.

Went to The Monkey. I liked it, but... is it supposed to be a horror movie? It's not scary, nor is it upsetting. It's too bizarre and completely unmoored from reality. I would recommend it, but it's just such an unusual thing.
I'm curious about the original short story now.

I played through Mouthwashing the other night. I know I'm late to the party, but I was able to have a mostly spoiler-free experience. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on whatever the dev team comes up with next.

Yeah, I'm definitely feeling better about the show as it progresses. Having her finally lose in the previous episode really got me on board.

First episode of Esca is off to a good start. They really designed the hell out of that dragon for maximum revulsion. Blech.
I'm also watching Zenshuu, but I've avoided talking about it because I can't decide whether I love it or hate it.
Take the most recent episode, for example. The "villain" has lived so long and seen so much death and destruction that she just wants an end to it all, and the MC "cures" her simply by turning her into a bishi simp. "Oh I have a new zest for life so long as I have these pictures of beautiful men to look at!" It's almost a meta commentary on certain types of anime fans. Yuck.

See, having never engaged with the TV series, I thought the movie was alright. At least, I remember enjoying it for the most part. It looked really nice, didn't it? Maybe I don't actually recall any of it and I'm just giving it the benefit of the doubt.
Anyway, I'll watch the show.

I could probably watch Escaflowne. I think I've only ever seen the fancy movie version.

My attach rate for new stuff lately has been so grim that I've found myself going back to old favorites as well as things I may have overlooked.
Vintage anime I've been watching:
Air Master
Akagi
Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo
Kaiji
Monster
Turn-A Gundam
Bo-bobo I was surprised to realize I had never finished. Also, that the manga had a follow up series titled Shinsetsu Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, even though I think the actual run in Shonen Jump from one to the other was unbroken. I've read it all now. You could tell he was running out of steam by the end, but he was at least able to pull off a mostly satisfying conclusion.

Super pretty to look at. No real conflict to speak of. Just a nice story, I suppose.

Not only that! In the first episode, it's established that the vampire works as a jack-of-all trades around the family-run bathhouse, and after he finishes scrubbing the tile floors he does a little celebratory dance... and it's just a straight-up Michael Jackson routine! It's like, what are you even trying to allude to here, people?

Well that didn't last.
I guess it had been resolved before I even made that post.

First issue of this dropped. Interiors are heinous. Whack artwork, zero titillation. Can't say I'm shocked.

« on: Jan 19, 2025, 12:00:54 PM »Finally saw an ep and a half of Sakamoto Days. Kind of boring.
That's how I felt back when I tried reading the manga. The show still has me for now, but I can see myself losing interest eventually.
I'm also watching that Vavamva Vamvam Vampire thing. Super weird premise. Also, can't help feeling there's some kind of double standard going on, because if his "prey" had been a girl as opposed to a boy, the show probably wouldn't even be allowed to exist.
The way his "bloodlust" is portrayed by having the front of his pants stretch out cartoonishly as a result of his visibly massive erection, and it's all played for giggles is really something else. I guess it's because we're meant to understand that he doesn't actually want to fuck the kid, just drink his blood? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I watched that one where the old dude isekais into an otome villain. It was kind of good? I'll stick with it for the time being.
Honestly, the most obnoxious character presently is the "protagonist" and how she's endlessly fawning over the MC.
