Megas XLR is a lot of fun. Shame it got cancelled but it also kind of ended on a near perfect finale at the same time.

That doesn't prevent one from being a redneck. Frankly being from Jersey is in many ways more hillbilly than being from the actual hills.

Anyway I forgot to mention I read the other Asano Inio mangas, Solanin and Goodnight Punpun after I read Dead Demon Dewhatever (is that name also really stupid and long in Japanese? Probably).

Solanin is really bittersweet, not too long, I'd give it like a 9 or 10 tbh. You should read this, it's worth.

Goodnight Punpun is one of the most sad stories I've ever read, probably because there's almost not a single part that feels melodramatic or like... Story-like, lol. It's really insanely depressing and about how hosed up being lonely or abused can make you.

Girl on the Shore is another one like that, but much shorter, and less depressing but really messed up. I don't think I could tell you what it's supposed to be about, exactly, because I'm either too stupid to get the message or it doesn't have much to say. This one's about teenagers banging, with a side of bullying although it's really just mentioned. Frankly I only remebered it because I was looking at the authors mangadex page.



If you haven't read Dead Demon you're an idiot and need to get on that btw, one of the best pieces of fiction about hopeless ennui I've read lol.

all I know about cultural references and New Jersey are the two movies Garden State and Harold and Kumar. The only cool thing I know of the former is that I learned that there was a Medieval Times outside of California. The latter is just all around good fun, and I want to go to a real white castle and try to eat a Kumar order, or maybe just the sliders.

EDIT: Oh, and also Clerks took place there.

Rushia's gone. Rushia is.. Gone. Nothing will bring her back. I've been through every hell hole I could find for some small source of succor, languishing finally in the Senran Kagura peach beach splash pc ranked discord, which btw is fairly freaking active tbqh-- I had an epiphany. RUSHIA would want me to play Elden Ring today. She wouldn't want me to be sad. So I will live on. I will play Elden Ring at 6:00 PM EST for a few hours before the Peach Beach ranked tourney. These wounds in my heart are deep and painful, but this is something I have to do. For Rushia. For.. For me.

every time I watch a bad mecha show I remember that one from adult swim where a redneck discovers a crashed alien mecha and like paints it up like a biker van, or what a loser thinks a biker van looks like. powder blue and flames with a big rear end 8 ball gear shifter. anyway I only saw bits and pieces as a tiny child but it's embarsssing when a show can't even hold up to that.
megas xlr ruled, the references were generally cleverly done and the intro was perfectly silly

it didn't overstay its welcome, and the general idea of "dipshit finds insanely advanced thing, uses it for stupid shenanigans" is always a fun plot device
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YESSSSSSS

I kinda liked their reimagining as...the Demiurg or something, I think the prototypes a long time ago were called? Really bulked out tech suits and really, really unhappy looking fellas in'em.

if keroro can get into an srw game I'll never 100% rule out something like megas xlr getting in somehow

did the recent srw game that got released on steam do well? I plan on buying it once my tax return goes through

The difference is that Keroro was made in Japan. SRW has never and will likely never use mecha series made outside of Japan. Even if they did, Cartoon Network wrote the series off to the U.S. government alongside Sym Bionic Titan.

Also, 30 did do very well for being a Steam only released, and before the game got officially announced for the West it was one of the top sellers on Steam.
