    The only time I ever genuinely wished for an author to retcon their story was during the Railgun adaptation of the Sisters Arc. It already elevated itself way above the already good original Index version by telling it from Misaka's perspective (the perspective that actually matters), but they done blew the emotional payoff by not giving her a bigger role in the Accelerator fight.

    It's so good. Have you read Index New Testament yet, or are you watching the anime?

    Anime-only for the series. I tried to read past where the Index anime ended back in highschool, but just kinda forgot to continue :blob_hmm:

    Guess I was holding out hope that it was going to get a season 3, and that the season 3 would be a good adaptation :sweating_profusely:

    Yeah, the season 3 adaption is only bad because they were trying to cram 5 arcs into 1 season. Some say it was Kamachi's decision because he wanted to start animating NT but there are no confirmed sources for this. The LNs are better than any other medium despite it's questionable content.

    Durarara was tight as fuck. TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT

    They don't make 'em like that show anymore.

    The first opening is the perfect encapsulation of how hard Durarara FUCKS. Just 100% pure uncut CROCK. I can smell Ikebukuro at sundown just by listening to this song

    I wish I saved up my money and got into investing 20 years ago instead of being a kid and buying Yugioh cards and Bionicles

    When I was a kid, the local channel that aired shows like Spongebob and Naruto would actually not pause episodes during commercial breaks. So after a couple minutes of commercials, you'd go back to the show with a couple minutes of missing context.

    So yeah that's why I'm now a terrori-

    AWWWW YEAAAHHHHHHH

    Ping Pong the Animation is an incredible show with a transcendent opening song. Just pure, hard, and unapologetic rock with lyrics that resonate with the show's themes.

    "There's probably nothing that only I can do, but no way I'm just gonna disappear without doing anything."

    Male romcom manga protagonists be like "I'm an unpopular loner with no friends and no bitches this is my lot in life" while having a loyal childhood friend who unconditionally cares for them

    Manipulation in and of itself is kind of abusive. Yes, there is good and bad manipulation tactics but isn't the act of manipulation an abuse of the manipulatee?

    :blob_hmm: :blob_hmm_two:

    Fair point on manipulating = abuse

    When I stated positive connotation, what I meant is the impact on the manipulatee rather than supposed tactics used.

    Positive connotation as in the manipulatee did not feel any negative emotion ie sad/ angry/ fear. Also, it meant that the manipulatee's wellbeing isn't negatively impacted ie socially withdrawn, loss of health and wealth.

    Having someone willing to serve you hand and foot might be enabling, which will lead to future spirals of dependence, in the short run it does make you feel good.

    Fuck it, let's just say it's anisong week.

    Today's anisong is Rashisa, the everwarm opening to Barakamon. This song makes me feel human, no other way to put it. It's so comforting in sound and in message, like a bowl of miso soup in a home you know you can return to.

    I've seen this sentiment floating around in the anime community that modern anime fans hate (straight) romance series, like it's a shift in the tides.

    As a guy who reads a lot of romance manga and is also jaded as hell towards a lot of it, I can assure that that is not the case. A lot of romance manga is just slop. So much of it is ass.

    We don't hate romance. We just hate—if I may say—heteroslop

    I wouldnt call it brazilian spirit, i would call it a shameless move by certain advertising individuals over there. The guy running the poll even sent a letter to the 8th place guy apologising an said they were morally one of the New 7 Wonders.

    I heard some kids were saying sombr's the reincarnation of Jeff Buckley, which like... I don't think being a hot skinny white boy who can sing makes you Jeff Buckley.

    Anyway, Grace is one of the best-sounding rock albums I've listened to.

    I've got like the weirdest mancrush on Cameron Winter of Geese fame. I am enamored by the man's face, stinky appearance, and unconventional voice and singing style. But I am a boy and will be punished.

    How strange it is to be anything at all.

    Whatchu know about Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora? In all likelihood, probably not much. UNLESS YOU'RE A NERD

    Anyway, I thought the show itself was kind of underwhelming for a "sick girl romantic drama," mainly due to the characters being insufferable.

    The opening song, on the other hand, is a shot of mono no aware straight into the veins. Perfect for this kind of contemplative mid 2000s light novel adaptation. It's so breezy, but a melancholic breeze. Like it carries some scent that you recognize but can't put a name to. So you're left to linger along with it, or something.

    I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna actually write today. I'm gonna do it.

    A good friend gave me the incredibly obvious advice of "Oh you know just write even if it's messy and shitty. You can fix it later. That's what a first draft is, dumbfuck", so I'm going to write. I'm gonna do it. It'll be an elucidating experience for all parties involved

    It might be the middle of November, but this is the perfect song for those hot and humid summer days. Like, it kinda makes me wanna burn stuff. Anyone else?
