  1. I don't know who that is. Maybe the emperor is naked. Maybe we are all naked. Silencio!
  2. Majestic's pain is so much his mind split and he counts as two viewers. I still have not seen a single episode of nutrek.
  3. For real though, Alan Moore hates adaptations of his work and all that but I'd much prefer to see bizarre and profane deconstructed takes on fairy tales than Disney's overly grey reconstruction of their classic animation in cgi liveaction.
  4. Probably. In Lost Girls, Peter Pan rides the schlong.
  5. I think we can all agree that the perfect Peter Pan adaptation would be Alan Moore's lost girls. That would be pretty cool.
  6. With two mythic paths down I have to say so far I prefer the regular endings to the sekrit one. The sekrit ending tends to rewrite a lot of the ending slides and makes it less reactive.
  7. Halibut with lemon butter sauce, roasted cauliflower, and a spinach salad. Not bad and healthy.
  8. Three Pines 1 and 2. It's somewhat like Canadian Twin Peaks starring Doctor Octopus, but more normal and focused on mysteries than a surreal deconstruction of small town America and television. It looks like every two episodes are about Doctor Octopus solving a strange murder while also searching for a missing indigenous woman who ran off to New York or got killed. I like it, would reccomend. I don't use emojis because there are way too many combinations of them that are propositioning someone, such as being widely used as an invitation to [redacted]. When I do use the emojis it is almost as always as part of a bit, because I am naughty In all fairness after seeing what Swedish people eat I think calling their tastes crap is less toxic than eating ketchup on plain macaroni. This looks like one of those AI that can't comprehend hands tried to cook. Feeding this to your kids should be considered child abuse.
  9. Yeah, I'm talking about how they're not separate mediums and how there is some influence between them. I think that it's a mistake to put anime into a category unto itself because within anime because well....I would struggle to put JoJo, Berserk, Sailor Moon, and Komi Can't Communicate under the same umbrella despite all three being anime adaptations of manga. So I guess my argument is that Western Animation and Anime are both animation and do influence each other somewhat and that both Western Animation and Anime are too broad to categorize simply by those labels, and you've got enough potential subcategories to give me a headache. Good news, climate change and/or WW3 will kill us all within a few decades. I don't think the number of shows is necessarily the problem so much as the glut of repetition with the types of shows/movies. A lot of anime coming out is isekai adaptations with increasingly long-winded and silly names, and it is pushing out original animation or adaptations of other stuff that could have been made instead. To some extent it's always been this way because copycats make money....but it feels like it has gotten worse in recent years with virtually all kind of audio-visual entertainment, like whole genres are bein crushed to make the next superhero movie or a police procedural with a silly quirk. I don't think a lot of iconic stuff would get funding today because the entertainment industries have become much more lock step in producing similar things. If this doesn't make sense I'll try to elaborate more, but right now I'm tired. It's easier to make movies than it was 10 or 20 years ago and that has been a real boon for a lot of indie cinema, like the (not quite) one-take films from Japan. We will probably see a contraction with this as more would-be creatives get squeezed by rent and stagnating wages, but in the meantime we're seeing a lot more interesting stuff that people are able to make for less and get money from sources outside of studios, who I think we've established I view as myopic and overly conservative. This isn't good if you're looking for a tarantino clone or big budget action thrillers reminiscent of the 80's and 90's but I think it's a big mistake to use that as your benchmark for cinema. I should probably post less when I am running on 4 hours of sleep. They're extremely cgi heavy and look very bad to me. Finding Nemo is an exception I think because the characters aren't human(oid), while human characters tend to look awful.
  10. Wenduag is the perfect romance for a Lich. Beeg boney spoilers ahoy.
  11. Then I don't know man, maybe they changed it after people kept complaining you couldn't keep being Lawful Good unless you periodically picked the "[Lawful] You broke the law. Die!" dialogue choices.
  12. I don't believe so. There is an option to let you use class abilities regardless of alignment. It works with Druid spells so that may be what you're using.
  13. There's a handful of combos where the capstone is worth it, such as the (mod fixed) Arcane bloodline that let's you use metamagic without increasing the casting time but in general.....a lot of that stuff isn't as good as the Loremaster's ability to expand your spellbook. Probably the best prc for a pure caster that doesn't sacrifice caster level. Unless you're looking to roleplay a fascist wizard, the Signifier isn't a very good choice. I guess that's a reason, someone has to play as an Aeon > Devil. Slow is good with a caster heavy party.
  14. It plays better in TB. Stop being naughty
  15. If you're doing merged spellbooks with a Sorcerer chances are the unique Lich spells will be close to best in slot anyways, so the slower learning isn't as bad as it may seem. Of course I use a mod that bypasses that, because spontaneous casters are already a level behind for spells so Owlcat's fix seemed unnecessary. It's not like a merged caster won't melt half the game anyways. Off hand I'd say that you want to maximize caster level to get 10th level spells, so if you want to go outside Sorcerer a prc that gives caster level would be best. I think there is an argument for Loremaster, but just play around and see what works.
  16. I honestly forgot about them. I'm trying to play less videogames and watch more movies so I'll add them to my substantial backlog. Good. So the first thing I'll say is that I don't draw a distinction between anime and (western) animation in the sense that they are the same medium. The stylistic differences are akin to regional things similar to what we see in cinema, but it'd be hard to argue that Bollywood is a genre unto itself. So why are we in a thread specifically for anime instead of in TV or film? Because the rest of the forum is weak. Weak. Now that my unhinged speil is over....the western animated films and shows I see today make me want to [redacted]. They look like garbage. Absolute trash. Not fit to wipe your ass with. The kids shows are the reason that the coming generation is so depressed and the "adult" animation is d-list comedy with terrible visuals. I was forced to watch the Netflix film Marmaduke and in addition to very creepy designs (why are their legs like twigs?) it moved like absolute ****. Disgusting. Sam Neil had the right idea to gouge his eyes out in Event Horizon. Yeah, a LOT of work went into those classic anime films. It's not impossible to do that and using digital tools to aid drawing, rather than replace it, can make it easier to do.....but with LORD MARKET demanding over 9000 isekai adaptations a year to sell waifu bodypillows you're going to see a lot more ugly cgi stuff with minimal drawing because that makes bizness sense. Like you said it's not that different from western animation, but I'd also say that it's like tv and film as well in the sense of pumping out tons of cheap and ugly **** to hit market saturation while the medium suffers artistically. Though I'd say right now is a very good time for cinema, but you won't find it from any big hollywood studios. Which I suppose is par for the course. By the end of the weekend we'll see if we're on the road to the end of the world. Fingers crossed.
  17. This is hilarious. Not the fact that hand-drawn is going away from most anime, that's very sad. But the mental image of you doing a short rant about anime becoming trash because of the god damn cgi to your niece(s) tickles my funny bones. It's also something I would do, which is usually not a good sign. It's been a very long time since I've watched an anime feature, maybe I'll watch Whisper of the Heart this weekend as a double feature with Occult Bolshevism (2018).
  18. It's the thing after Iz that locks you out of stuff, if anything you get a bit more content, and a bit may be an exaggeration, by doing Iz first.
  19. Throne of Blood (1957) - Macbeth in feudal Japan. It's glorious, between the extensive use of fog and black and white photography it felt very dreamlike.
  20. Oxy-morons (2010) - some based on a true story flick about a small time crime family imploding. Not particularly memorable. Beast (2022) - Idris Elba fights a cgi lion and bonds with his daughters.
  21. Pschy - Dual Spires It was ok, but I doubt I'll watch more of the series. A lot of the jokes didn't land and the main character annoyed the **** out of me.
