I definitely shouldn't have read all of Uzumaki before going to bed.

I'm giving every spiral I see the meanest side eye.

I completely agree.

On the Anime front, Manga released Urotsukidōji right after Akira.
So when people thought you like anime (which over were called "Manga cartoons") they thought you liked fucked up porn.

Tier offices even got raided by the police for obscenity because of it.

In the same breath, Manga created the anime market and killed it.

I haven't herd that name in years. Damn Shy we old.

Man the way the companies handled the anime boon should be required reading in any marketing course. 45 dollars for 3 episodes, some times 3 random episodes. They pretty much

It really should. They completely fucked it.

Over here when Guyver was first released it was £15 for a single episode per cassette. Which were released every month or so. (the gap might have been even longer, it's been a while)

Uff, that's expensive. I remember paying that for three episodes per cassette. Poor Guyver team. They tried to jump in late on the Silver Fang hype by marketing like the best since but people didn't bite here.

Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs and Voltron/Golion were my first experience with the medium.

That takes me back. Did any of y'all ever watch Venus Wars back then? That shit along with Akira, Ninja Scroll, and Project A-ko blew my little kid mind. I haven't seen any of those except Akira since I was little and they probably don't hold up at all these days.

Let me start by saying that I am no genealogist. I couldn’t tell you what blood runs through Mike Tirico’s veins, but I can tell you what my grandfather, who also was not a genealogist, would say about Tirico’s claim of being Italian:

“That dark-ass black boy needs to go sit his ass down somewhere in a dark-ass corner until he finds himself.”

I know a black nose when I see one. I have one. It protrudes off my face like a calling card to the ancestors. It is the first noticeable thing that makes it clear at least one of my parents is black. Tirico is black. He is blacker than a Caprice Classic sitting on dubs parked outside a wig/barbecue/fish-fry/church/liquor store. He’s blacker than a Jack and Jill cotillion. He’s blacker than syrup sandwiches. He’s blacker than Slick Rick’s eye patch.

Everything about this is confusing. Everything.

The Legend of The Overfiend represented everything wrong with anime during the nineties.

Hey did you know that it's apparently a legit argument to compare eating meat to being a Klan member, Nazi and /or rapist


Also the GOP.is trying legit make it so that trans folk aren't protected by the CRA but no one gives a shit hooray.

Yeah man just two more places, first half of August I'll be going to Aussieland, and then Thailand following right after. That'll end my three month vacay to get back to that September grind.

Sound alike you've had a great summer. Beware the spiders in Aussieland. Thailand should be a lot of fun. Are you gonna go parasailing or paragliding?

To show how ridiculous some folks can be and someone devil's advocated for it.

And I made this thread

You know the GOP will fail. There isn't enough support for it. It's grandstanding by a few. That doesn't make it easier to hear or experience though.

And that image...

I'm about to buy 10lbs of steak and go in. Fuck that image

Sure but no one talks about it...

No mainstream CNN story about how these fuckers literally want trans people to not have civil rights.

And yeah that image is fucked and that anyone can look at that and say it has a point os infuriating

Unfortunately it won't get the headlines because of everything that's going on. That and most don't believe it'll happen. Wasn't there a push to remove coverage for trans soldiers that got shot down recently? Seems like a barrage of this is happening and it's just grandstanding for the Bible belt vote.

Do you know if any organizations have reached out about this not being reported on? Not saying they should have to.
