Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

This activated a long dormant neuron cluster that simply poked anime tie fighter, nanite vampire, ai ship wifiu, and it's weird mythic history intro. I watched like 3 episodes and dropped it why did this burn in so many neurons?

The pseudo-tie fighters owned. The part where the enemies come up with the strategy of "literally just mashing hot plates of metal into the Valvraves to take advantage of their overheating weakness" was great.

The lore of that show "almost makes sense." I don't think the show ever fully explains what's going on with the lady in the protagonist's Valvrave and her "brother" who Cain talks with. They're Magius, but for some reason they have their own appearances while other Magius just seem to be these pure energy lifeforms that take over peoples' bodies. Otherwise it's actually pretty coherent, though. Main character is turned into a sort of artificial Magius (he and all his classmates are basically genetically engineered to be "primed" for this), and he powers both his Valvrave and those of all his companions using Runes, base units of information he absorbs from other people when he bites them (the vampire thing is him - sometimes involuntarily - sourcing fuel for the mechs). Later we're shown how you can further empower the Valvrave by "over-using" Runes, which eats up all the information in your brain (your memories) and ultimately leaves you brain-dead.

I feel like anime dubs still basically suck but game dubs are pretty good.

FF16 apparently even has better voice acting in English than Japanese in all versions, I've seen Japanese people complain about it (probably related to but separate from the fact they recorded all the mocap in English and didn't even fix the lip sync for the Japanese version)

I thought the dubs in things like FF7 Remake and Dragon Quest 11 were really good personally

They weren't "gay-baited" for 12 years, they thought their incest headcanon was real. The show even made fun of them for it.

If I had a show where a huge amount of the fans were really into incest between the two main characters I'd probably put some baity poo poo in there for financial reasons

Apparently the apothecary diaries writer lady absolutely hates the main male romantic character Jinshi but her sister says she'll shiv her if she kills that guy off so she's stuck writing that guy. Sad stuff. The fans are the real authors...

Anyway it's amazing supernatural lasted so long. I remember my dad watching episodes of that when I was in middle school

Supernatural is a show with fanart that shows one of the characters tied naked to a pole with his dick and balls shoved through a meat grinder. The internet has informed me that this is more the norm than the exception for Supernatural fanart.

Supernatural fans are very very VERY hosed in the head.

Does Dungeon Meshi ever reveal some important detail to recontextualize that Shuro did not own Izutsumi as a slave? Like, his father bought her for money, they made her work for room and board, and Maizuru put a curse on her to prevent her from leaving?

No. You just have to accept the fact that this is how "servants" actually changed hands in feudal societies. Technically Shuro's retinue isn't his own, all of those girls were bought by his dad to be his companions. Most of the reason Shuro abandoned his retinue to go dungeon diving was to get out from under his father's shadow and learn how to take care of himself without the doting servitude of his bodyguards. That idea didn't work because Falin ended up taking care of him instead.

Well the other girls clearly are clearly feudal servants but Izutsumi is the only one who clearly resents servitude but is compelled to obey on the threat of death.

edit: maybe servitude is implicitly on pain of death for all of them and only Izutsumi needs a concrete reminder idk. now we seen the violence inherent in the system.
