akira is one of my fav movies and any time ive tried to make conversation w/ anime nerds in class or w/e its like 'never heard of it'

anime nerds are in an echo chamber of shamefully bad media

theyre lying

akira is the anime all anime nerds jerk off to because they can use it as the least shameful introduction to try to lure people in

its cause back in 1990 they were marketing anime to teenagers so it was all tits n guns n explosions and VROOM ratatatat kerplow instead of prepubescent girls

then the teenagers grew up and never left their moms basement and anime had 2 adjust

neat

i remember there was an anime dvd advertisement i saw back in the day when i rented some poo poo, anyway, there was this indie artist did the music for it and it was really loving good. i ended up downloading some of their poo poo from mp3.com when it was still a legit website. then i grew older and still listened to it, and when i went back to mp3.com couldn't find it anymore. i actually had to email a guy who had it in his online list of music and ask him to burn me copies of their discography.

i started looking for that music video that started this 12 year journey and i cannot find it, so i'm gonna scour my old dvds and see if can't locate it and upload it. its kind of a neat story in a way and it makes me feel like i haven't wasted my time by trying to find obscure music.

the dialog sounds like it was poorly translated from an eastern language, but, in fact, it was written by an american, one who grew up speaking english.

what's the over/under on seeing Ender's Game if you think Card is a horrible poo poo heel

I want to see it because sci fi movies are sorta a rare breed these days

on the other hand, I do not relish the idea of OSC getting more money from me

well there's having terrible personal views and then there's having terrible personal views which you have a record of putting money you earn from your media properties towards making law

I'm not going to see it partly for that reason but mostly because it looks like it will be a bad movie anyway
