Dragon Age II's 15th anniversary just passed. The broader discourse is still pretty hard on it, though folks like myself have learned to love it. Here's one of my favorite pieces of my own discussing how it, Citizen Sleeper, and The Wire handle their city based settings and the politics of them.
Baxter is correct. Watched it a couple years ago and loved it. I think there is, or at least was, a prevailing popular opinion that any live action Oshii, and all animated stuff post Jin-roh, is bad. Couldn't disagree more.
I'm so excited to see the rest! And yeah I get it, the score goes craaaaazy (I mean Kenji Kawai so obviously but still!)
It's literally just live-action Patlabor! That first episode is kind of perfect!!
I cannot comprehend the general reaction to this show.
And all the practical work is just ๐
from Patlabor The NExt Generation, girl with gun sitting on tank in field with a blue and orange umbrella
guy riding his bike but really quick so his legs look like sonic
three people on a couch in an office at night, eating ramen and watching tv
a giant explosion and paper cutouts of officers floating away
getting reminded that I must never listen to the opinions of other patlabor fans because I ADORED the first ep of The Next Generation just now, wowww what a delight
finished this btw! pretty essential for anybody who is or had a period being deep into Japanese underground music.
Explicitly (in part) grappling with being part of the scene during the insane live shows of like The Stalin, Hanatarash, and Gism and why some of us find a sort of home there
New translation!
This week Iโve translated the short documentary Ise-Shima, the 1949 directorial debut from the man behind Godzilla, Ishiro Honda!
Enjoy the start of one of the most famous names in movies, the first instance of underwater filming in Japan, and lots of post-war anxieties!

Heart surgery coming soon and I got a better idea of the cost (a few thousand)
Everyone has already helped so much, so DON'T feel like you have to, but if you like the stuff I do on the web, one way to say thanks is throwing a dollar to my ko-fi! It's all being set aside to help cover those costs ๐โโ๏ธ

nerds online have been too coddled into thinking harem ntr isekai is wild "barely disguised fetish" content, they have no appreciation for how much manga out there just under the surface is the most gonzo outsider stuff you'll ever see
