Zettai Karen Children is a title that has a whole new meaning with today's vernacular so now I'm imagining a show about the most obnoxious kids imaginable calling the cops on people in the park and getting caught on camera bring insufferable.

My favorite translation for I from Japanese to English was the pro-dub of "Ouran High School Host Club" when Harhui says "Maybe I should use boku" and the dub is "Maybe I should call myself bro."

I remember Jon Bois mentioning the 'img ###' search, pretty sure it was an ending bumper to a Chart Party but I have no idea which one. Basically-
"Thanks for watching. Want to see more cool videos? Me too, man... oh wait, actually theres a cool thing you can try, just put 'img' and a number, and you'll get random videos with no views. I think most are auto upload processes. I found one of a nature camera, which was recording a deer and a rabbit sharing a lettuce, which nobody else had every seen."

Geoff had a react video previously about the live action one piece, but now he's put out his full hour-long discussion of the show itself, and it's fun, he's having a great time and I'm here for it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43K-H_dtQ9g&hd=1

with the second season already fully written and scripted, only waiting for the strike to end to possibly begin filming, I'm actually surprised and excited for what they might do with season 2. His argument of "muppets make you subconsciously just accept the inherent unreality of what you're watching just a bit more" would help all the insane poo poo happening in one piece otherwise feel natural, like how the Transponder Snails are all muppets, I like that idea. make Chopper a muppet.

I love his line of "now, is the show ACTUALLY worth burning a city down over? .....ehhh, that's subjective. I would, but, I'm from Vancouver, rioting's the only sport we're good at." :allears:

Despite the format of this video suggesting a massive crime on the par of the original novel, I'm not entirely sure a shyster duping a theatre production and an overzealous agent doing some light blackmailing loving everything up hold the same drama and intrigue as the original novel. That burning staircase in Vienna rules though! It's a fun video

This one has a really great final 15 minutes, dealing with Asimov adaptations in general. People who don't care about Foundation should fast-forward and watch that.

The show is quite fun once you recognize that they are just borrowing some concepts (but not the main concept, which is funny as gently caress. How!? ) and names and just doing whatever the gently caress they want.

In the last episode a dude named Hari Seldon violently bashed in the skull of a granny with a wooden stick.

“Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent my robot rear end!" was heard over the sound of cracking bones as blood splattered over his face. "You're psychohistory!"

In any case, a super high budget adaptation with total disregard about the material being adapted is a treat.

Early D&D was some fascinatingly buckwild poo poo. There was a used bookstore near my college I used to visit that had a bunch of 1st and 2nd edition sourcebooks in the back and it was like diving into some dark cache of forbidden knowledge.

They also had a bunch of sourcebooks from a ton of other obscure pen-and-paper RPG's that no one's ever heard of. Someone could probably make a solid career out of trying to document all of that nonsense.

There is actually a podcast called System Mastery that has been reviewing old roleplaying games for a decade at this point. One of it's creators is even a goon.

I haven't seen Altered carbon but I believe that some dude read the foundation series ten years ago and, over drinks, explained to someone else what it was was about. Then that second person decided to make the show using only what they heard as the material to be adapted.

So, in the end, you have some familiar names and events happening so, very superficially, you can say it's an "adaptation" but since they are taking nothing from the books besides that it's more like a reimagination.

And it's wild.
