I read somewhere in these forums that Call Center jobs are basically the modern equivalent of Coal Mining. I mean, they're lovely, but they sure as gently caress don't give you black lungs.

A demon girl ends up working at a restaurant once a week waiting tables. Ten silver coins (apparently this is good money?) & three staff meals per 14 hour shift.

I dunno, I watched one episode. Maybe the subplot about hardcore bondage play shows up later.

Maybe it's because I'm hungry, but "lovely instant curry" sounds really appetizing right about now.

there's a big difference between trying a wide variety of foods and dedicating your life to a vicious, all-consuming addiction to hamburger steak after eating it once.

The owner was gonna pay her 10,000 yen before correcting himself to 10 silver coins. So her wage is 88 dollars and 22 cents in usd. So she makes 6.30 an hour. Which still isn't great but maybe she also gets tips.

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!
federal minimum wage with tips in the US is 2.13. japan has a higher cost of living so 6.30 is probably not bad?

i think the real issue is the idea that japanese cuisine is super flavorful

whale meat is bland as gently caress, and yet all the murder

Didn't a goon mention a couple of posts ago that the FLCL sequel is going to have a buncha young animators working on it? Because that was my whole connection.

yeah, it will have staff who have trended towards storyboarding/KA/design rather than directorial positions that get recognition. anybody more closely tied to LWA/Mob would be a later announcement though, since so far you just have Kazuto Arai (FLCL 2 director, KA on Mob ep3) and Yuichi Takahashi (FLCL 3 character design, KA on Mob OP). FLCL2 has a pretty strong connection with Flip Flappers though, with Oshiyama on mech design and three of the directors having done KA under him on that series.

All I hear is that whale tastes real bad and is very expensive so nobody actually eats it. Not that even in Japan i've ever seen any place that sells it.

Whale isn't really a staple of Japanese cuisine.

I still get the occasional hankering for 25 cent instant ramen, so I ain't judging a taste for instant curry.

for a while they couldn't get anyone to eat the whales they researched so thoroughly so they tried using it as pet food. i don't think that worked very well either.

i don't think it's as much that s1 was incoherent as 80% of the show was directly adapted from an almost entirely episodic manga

anyway i'm looking forward to s2 a lot but i'm also a bit wary cause the only stuff i've seen from the new director was pretty plain, the music'll still be great though

I think it would be interesting to explore the difference that a modern, fully-equipped kitchen makes in an otherwise medieval setting. Isekai Shokudou is not that show, but it's got a bunch of footage featuring wizards enjoying the hell out of lovingly rendered food, which is more or less what I wanted out of it.

I enjoyed the individual episodes of BBB more than the overall plot arc, but goddamn were those some good episodes. They put out another 10 of those and I'll call it a win.
