This was really nice, what a banger to be reminded of, and great to learn the guy is based. Plus Todd accidentally exposing himself to Britainology with that panto ad.

Really liked this channel's Craft Brewing video as well. Pairs incredibly well with this Vice piece visiting the first of Brewdog's chain bars in the UK, a horrifying monument to the soulless Attitudetm of Brewdog as a whole.

I've still got a physical copy of Women in Technology purchased in 1997 in Yokohama somewhere. 13 year-old edogawa rando used to listen to it all the time. It was only when I saw that video that I realised I still had no idea what Jotyi Mishra even looked like.

the absolute best one that series should do is "O Superman" which is just one of the best tracks ever recorded and i think somehow got to #2 on the british pop charts


the british charts own because they're "big" enough to matter but small enough for completely weird poo poo to get on them on occasion

Worth mentioning for anyone not familiar with Todd that they should watch his video on Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes. It's less about the title song and more about the weirdness of the British music industry and one of the stranger careers therein.

I read up to finishing Soul Society. Still feels like I need to at least finish everything in the anime pre-cancellation before I can figure out everything people complain about. Stuff about a Soul Society retread, Orihime getting an uber-interesting power but never doing anything with it, an epic battle that gets interrupted with a 30 episode filler arc before it begins, "The Heart", "Zeroth Espada", Aizen being behind the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, a bullshit last-moment powerup, and some guy who can retcon themselves into anyone's backstory.

Its not worth it, because while the show starts out good. The main cast ends up joining forces with the authoritarian government after the soul society arc. It really killed the soul of the show. Ichigo ends up becoming a one-dimensional character who is only concerned with training and protecting his friends and loses pretty much all of his personality. There is only disappointment ahead about what Bleach could have been if it hadn't lost its way.

I'm assuming the show wasn't really on your radar prior to him covering it (which is completely understandable if you were not an American teenage girl in the early aughts) but this sentence is killing me. Like as someone who used to get the theme song stuck in their head a lot as a kid it's kind of like hearing somebody say they were surprised the Transformers were in fact robots, in disguise,

Yeah, I have to agree. I tried to like Bleach so much after the first ark, but a lot of what gave it a wild charm just evaporated into the tired "gotta protect my peeps, that's my entire character" thing.

Apparently those dead guys in the sealed bureacracy room were the entire problem with Soul Society, even though nothing really changed afterwards!

Another spring commute
I mean Bleach is fun enough as a shounen series with cool powers and fights. It definitely peaks in the Soul Society arc though, after that too many characters keep getting introduced and so many ancillary fights pile up that it can stop being cool and start being annoying that you haven't seen Ichigo in like 60 chapters. But yeah there's a ton of blatantly obvious missed potential that seems to mostly come down to the fact that the shinigami were extremely popular with readership and so Kubo had to flip SS from being at best a mixed bag to a collective force for good, and continuously shoehorning them back into the story at the expense of Ichigo and his friends. Orihime, Ishida, and Chad in particular all get done absolutely dirty in the later parts of the manga. I still really enjoy it for what it is, and there some absolute banger moments well past the Soul Society arc and beyond.

IShallRiseAgain posted:

Eeeeh, I see this take a lot and don't really agree with it. Yeah Ichigo is predominantly interested in protecting his friends which is kind of a static motivation, but he has a fairly satisfying character arc of starting off as a brat who doesn't really understand the weight of the powers given to him to eventually really mellowing out and maturing as a person. People point to stuff like the famous five ambulances page as proof Ichigo used to have "character" that he no longer has, but his whole punk routine is explicitly stated to be an act he adopted out of necessity because morons kept trying to pick fights with him over his name/hair/both, so it makes sense he drops it once he feels like it's no longer necessary. And he caries his fantastic dynamics with characters like Renji and Rukia all the way through to the end of the manga.
