There's now a place to discuss the frame story for Rainbow Shogun. I think it was named "Tada-kun" or something like that.

Megalobox owns. I still wish they didn't down-and-up-scale it, but every single other thing succeeds on pretty much every level. I'm totally hooked.

Bad news: With the two shows using the same "technique" this season being otherwise popular and great shows there will probably be more studios using that art style. Unless that actually costs a lot of money to do in which case never mind.

I'm two days late for the nuke derail but I still had the reply window open so whatever. I don't think the longlasting effects of nuclear exposure figure particularly large among the reasons why Japan gets a lot more sympathy for that compared to the worse fire bombing campaign. Going out on a limb here, but inhaling a burning industrial plant might also lead to long term health effects. For the main reason I'd put that everyone who lived during the cold war was half expecting that the nukes would end them. No one in America lost sleep over being targeted by a conventional strategic bombing campaign and I think the only country in the West where being the target of a bombing campaign is very present is the UK for some reason. It's a lot easier to sympathize with people if you can imagine the same thing happening to you. Also there is the fact that the US has been dropping bombs like candy for seventy years now, accompanied by billions of PR dollars to make that look OK. Finally there seems to have been a quite successful public education campaign about the dangers of nuclear weapons around the globe. Apparently the (late) Soviets made kids a watch a quite harrowing animated movie (though my memory about the source is quite fuzzy here I think the subject was Japan) and there was a lot of reading material in school about people slowly dying of radiation poisoning. And at least when I grew up you'd get assigned at one (semi-)historical novel set in Japan since that was the only time nukes were actually used along with some fictional account of people like you dying after a hypothetical conflict. OK, Sorry for the derail. Continue with the regular program.

iunno i think theres a difference between 'theres still undetonated bombs laying around' and 'you have an increased risk of cancer, forever,' there's kind of an existential horror to the latter, and it kind of would have that weight even if the former led to more deaths than the latter and kids are exposed to those films and books about the effects of nuclear bombs pretty young (i saw a pretty explicit film about it when I was like 10) so seeing such stark images as a kid probably also has an effect on perception. furthermore those long-lasting effects are portrayed in pretty much all the education material about them, whereas a lot of stuff about the bombings don't really mention anything about industrial plants getting hit or whatever.

I'm thinking about making a thread for Umamusume as it has turned out (in my opinion) to be a pretty legitimately entertaining "girls doing their best at sports" anime with a fun cast and lots of interesting references to real horse racing. The idol stuff (which I'm pretty sure is meant to represent the Winner's Circle after a race) is actually kept to a relative minimum, in fact there have been a few races so far where they just straight up skipped that part or it was like a 5 second cut. They do still run in fancy idol-ish outfits though, but that sort of "just playing the concept straight and not giving a poo poo" kind of feeling is part of what's made the show fun to watch for me. I'd recommend giving it a second look if you passed it up originally but are into stuff like GuP. Also the latest episode had an eating contest between 3 characters that was a reference to an actual horse race in how it played out.

I'll start working on it then! I'm stuck at work until late tonight though so it probably won't be up for another day or so, because I don't like to half-rear end OPs.

I think for it to count, the girls won't turn into cars, they'll just be car-themed, Kemono Friends style. To be honest I'm shocked it doesn't already exist. Moe anthropomorphism knows no bounds. The concept kind of weirds me out. I'm fine with animal-as-moe-girl but object-as-moe-girl is apparently my line in the sand.

I'd also toss Lupin on the pile. It had one moment hit an off emotional beat, but in general it's been fun to see Lupin and company take on the darkweb. Moving on to slightly longer shots, SAO is actually kinda fun this season, partially since it has very little in common with other seasons of SAO, and Darling in the Franxx recently pulled some pretty nice long game reveals recontextualizing a lot of earlier moments.

It doesn't bug me as a visual design theme, but when they get contextualized in-universe as literally that thing despite being, well, people it starts getting weird. Like how in horse idols they exist alongside regular people but are apparently just all racehorses by default.

I don't think motorsports is popular enough to support this endeavor anyways. Maybe MotoGP is doing better but I know Suzuka Circuit attendance has been down year over year for a while in F1. Definitely not stock car racing though....
