finished bomb rush cyberfunk. it was okay but i am pretty heavily disappointed with a lot about it, it fixes a few things about jet set radio future but otherwise has all of the same problems, sometimes even amplifying them pretty badly, and despite taking a more story heavy direction the story is... honestly way worse than either jet set radio game. way more thematically confused and for its heavier character focus really lacks any actual characters and the main villain kind of sucks a lot. the bad guy of jet set radio was never a complex character but it's more inherently fun to take down an evil rich guy than, a guy who is just sort of a dick for petty reasons they explain five seconds before you kill him and weirdly gives the whole police force a pass on being evil by being used as a plot excuse for why they're evil instead of them just uh, being evil because it's jet set radio and the cops are supposed to suck. this is the first time i've ever seen a jet set radio-type game portray its major cop character in a sympathetic way and it's kind of surreal. also tries way too hard to be dark and violent sometimes and it always comes off really stupid

otoh it was incredibly funny to have the main villain appear in a giant death robot (recycled from an earlier boss fight with zero changes) saying "I HAVE LEARNED THAT ART IS WAR"

The biggest thing I remember about JSR is spending hours upon hours completing the last few missions, where each area is finally rendered as big gigantic maps and I had to seek out the big murals to complete first before just doing the small and medium ones real fast.

Mew was the best because of her incredible paint capacity and overall style.

I just realized this week is the perfect time to start the challenge because How Do You Live comes out in 12 weeks and it's his 12th movie. One a week.

You could make a thread out of this.

Work today has obliterated any desire I may have held to be a person and not semi-conscious sludge

New priority tasks have also been created for after work, which I must do rather than lay in bed and groan for 3 hours

My commitment to writing about women's hairstyles in gundam thunderbolt today is wavering, however, for now it remains intact

looked this up and they're 5'9" which is pretty much average for male height even in America. 5'4" is average for a woman, so you're probably fine

if youre watching the miyazaki canon you should also watch the film thats extremely mad about the miyazaki canon, one piece and the island of baron omatsuri

especially if youre a big fan of howl. it exists because hosoda was originally going to direct howl's moving castle but he and miyazaki kept disagreeing on it. according to hosoda despite miyazaki saying his ideas were terrible some of them still made it into the final script. so omatsuri is about an old guy who refuses to move on from the past and steals the dreams of the youth in order to feed an unfeeling, abstract monster. the animations also really cool. its one of my favorite anime movies.

this is the anime forum and i have been reliably informed that miyazaki is not anime. off topic

tbh i joke about the miyazaki connections/themes but also baron omatsuri is just a fun adventure movie with a lot of goofy comedy in the first half and a lot of incredibly cool shots in the second half

if you know that there are some friends on a boat and some of them have magic powers that's probably enough to watch the movie.

nah you dont really need to know anything about One Piece Lore other than theres a goofy group of pirates that go on adventures. its all poking on the basic themes of the series not really specific plot points, so 'a group of guys that travel the sea together probably mean a lot to each other' can be inferred
