Wasn't the review that complained about horrible writing and misogyny in UBW, especially in comparison to noted bastion of feminism that is Fate/Zero also on ANN? I vaguely categorized ANN as "place that should be ignored and disregarded" in my headspace, but I realized I don't remember any real details as to why.

you still have four senses left. make use of them as best you can

also ann has a weird thing with fate. some of the writers there act like the series is literally impenetrable cause it's got a lot of entries and some of them have light continuity

Then please contribute to my kickstarter where a bored Russian man overdubs Japanese audio dramas. Just like in the old Iron Curtain days with the original audio faded but still audible under the dubber's voice.

remembering the time jacob chapman went on a giant rant on twitter about how transwomen who transitioned late 'missed their chance' and exist primarily to victimize young trans men

and also the time he said the lesbian in scum's wish should gently caress her male cousin

remembering when the first accusations about vic came out, back in like 2014, and ann ran a giant article condemning the accusers, saying it should be a private matter, and that even if he did do something, public accusations would just make him double down

I didn't know any of that poo poo about Chapman. That's really disappointing to hear.

It was an anime that was basically cheery propaganda about their leader who is (was?) on death row for the time for a sarin gas attack that killed 12 people.

yeah they ran an ad for an anime promoting a cult and all the staff instinctively doubled down on it and got really mad at people making fun of them. the dude who translated dies irae got a quick joke in at their expense, nothing mean, and the response was for multiple ann staff members to accuse him of being a nazi who translated a vn that promoted hatecrimes.

ann are ghouls

they also pay freelancers like poo poo when they pay them at all

Still enjoying Deca-dence, and will be watching Millionaire Detective and at some point catch up on digimon adventure: but that's about it for returning and new shows this season.

lol what a dumb loving last five minutes for god of highschool

completely dumping on one of your main trio and also structuring it so that they win the fight but the bad guy just finds and steals the priceless heirloom sword and waves it to taunt the trio while they're driving off? and mira just smiles and says it's fine because uhhhh. they ran down a drat purse snatcher in ep 1 so this seems like something you'd put a little effort into retrieving???

no idea how far i made it when i was reading but im surprised i forgot this

in my experience korean manwha just maintain enormous tottering casts so i expect every one of those characters to show back up when the plot moves past the tournament

I've let Deca-dence build up for a few weeks, I am instead watching SNAFU. I hadn't seen any of it, so I've binge watched the previous two seasons and now I'm up to date, I'm enjoying it!

Nothing else this season has particularly grabbed my attention.

When Gundam Build Divers Re Rise went on hiatus it was starting to get interesting, but I was still pretty sure that nothing they could do in the second cour could make up for how extremely boring the first cour was. But it kinda has. The payoff for the characters being so closed off and uncommunicative about themselves is pretty great.

I am completely on board for seeing these guys re rise.
