This was PTSD-triggering in ways I can't explain.

30 episodes in and I'm genuinely shocked by how much I'm enjoying Kamen Rider Kūga.

One thing is certain: your entitlement has nothing to do with this discussion.

Depending on the answer, Newell's solution might not be the right one. Spotify and Youtube Music gave to many people a reason to stop pirating music, but I'm not sure they did much to help compensate the artists/authors.

Gabe Newell's statement about "piracy and service" gets thrown a lot, but before accepting his reasoning we should discuss why we want (?) to fight piracy: is it because it's illegal? Or is it because we want the artists/authors to be properly compensated?

That immigrants cause extra costs is such an insidious right-wing lie. Most immigrants are raised and educated abroad, then pay taxes and contribute economically in their new country, and are often excluded from care/pensions (or sent back) after they are no longer an economic net benefit.

I assure you: you don't look that smart when you start using sturgeon's law as a serious argument to discuss anything

『ヤマトよ永遠に REBEL3199』第五章は公開中ですが、YAMATO CREWのECサイトでBDを購入されると、オイラのこんな感じの絵が特典のポストカードとして付いてくるはずです（この絵はラフに仮彩色したもの）。男の子成分多めの絵にしてみました。
2199の連載のほうは掲載されたものの、自分には感想とか反応があまり届かないので（そういえば掲載時に感想のフォームがあるのに編集部からそれをいただいたことがない）、間があいてしまう不定期連載の不徳と、少し凹み中。友達欲しくて漫画家してるのに孤独が深まるばかり。

Protagonist: "And you'll always have a place where you belong."

"As long as you're alive, then wherever you are is where you belong"

Protagonist: "Everyone worries their way into growing up"

Monologue of a teacher: 'You don't need to worry'

'Just buy something that's fun to have. Spend your money having fun,'

'and live without thinking.'

"It feels like that's what everyone is saying [to the children]"

Monologue of a teacher: "They're surrounded with distractions that help them avoid thinking about it."

This episode (ep. 26) also a really touching scene about the importance of embracing the act of questioning your life path and worrying for the future because it's the only way to equip yourself for the uncertainty and the sense of bewilderment you can't avoid feeling while growing up.

Screenshot from Kamen Rider Kūga ep. 26 with the kaijin villain in its human form spending the time reading Camus and other literary authors while wearing sunglasses.

Halfway through Kamen Rider Kūga.

This kaijin was the definition of aura-farming.

The true reference in the new Evangelion short that nobody noticed.

Bonus hypothesis: he thinks that he has completed the "shin"-phase of his career and he's preparing for a different phase.

will be called called Cosmoship Yamato シン・宇宙戦艦ヤマト [Shin Uchū senkan Yamato].

3) Shin is only used when live action stuff is involved (Shin Evangelion is animated but it has a lot to do with live actions both on a production level and on a thematic one) (this one makes sense only in my mind)

don't want to get associated with the rest of the shin universe, it's hard to say.

2) the movie is going to have a double title eng-jp like the evangelion movies (Evangelion 3.0+1.0: Thrice Upon a Time シン・エヴァンゲリオン劇場版𝄇 [Shin Evangelion Gekijōban]) and

Three hypothesis:

1) the "Shin Japan Heros Universe" that formalized the whole "Shin-affair" may have made it harder for him to use it. Maybe he needs to get the approval of all of the parties involved in the other shin movies, or maybe the commercial partners involved with this movie

Anno is preparing the field for the greatest pun of his career: the movie will be called Cosmo Shin Yamato...

Btw, yeah, I was expecting him to call this one too "Shin something", but he keeps using this other title, so who knows.

Hideaki Anno's lantern for Kamakura's Bonbori Matsuri.

Cover of the first volume of Leiji Matsumoto's Space Battle Ship Yamato tie-in manga.

Uchū Senkan Yamato is usually translated as Space Battleship Yamato in english, but Cosmo Ship Yamato is what was actually written on the first volume of Leiji Matsumoto's manga tie-in for the original anime.

Anno had already used it for the drawing he did last summer for Kamakura's Bonbori Matsuri

Moyoco Anno's sketch and signature.

A photograph from the event (no people in it, only the decorations)

He did the drawing on the wall of a bookshop in Kyōto.

He was there for Moyoco Anno's autograph session for the release of GO! Happy Mania's final volume. On the same wall, she did a drawing of Colette from her Memoirs of Amorous Gentlemen (amazing manga).

New drawing of Anno's "Cosmo ship Yamato" just dropped.

Is this going to be the actual title of Studio Khara's Yamato movie?

actually go somewhere and not just to "shake up" the status quo. This constant moving back and forth between change and status quo that Marvel (and DC)'s soap opera approach do gets boring very fast, at least for me.

a "point" that they want to get across in the end, but here it's just change for change's sake.

I prefer either a well-defined status-quo with a greater emphasis on self-contained stories that can go on forever (Lupin the Third) or a completely serialized approach with a story that is moving to

in the future, etc... I don't like it at this stage of Marvel Comics especially because writers like Stan Lee don't seem to have any "vision" for the long running plot except for "these poor characters have to suffer because tragedy is entertaining". At least more contemporary runs try to have

going to college" didn't sit well with me at all. It reminded me of the reason I can't get invested in Marvel Comics as much as I'd like to: the soap opera approach. The story moving forward for the sake of moving forward, lessening the weight of what's happening now in favor of what might happen

for something "more" without achieving anything at all. Kirby's art is amazing, but "humanity is beautiful, so we (Silver Surfer and Uatu) fell in love with it" felt more like a cheap cop out than like a serious theme. And the fact that part of the final issue is devoted to "Johnny Storm is finally
