But what about the damage to business by the antifa ? Surly that must count for one life per dollar ? Their must be a ratio !

It sure looks like the showrunner(s) expected to adapt the entire manga. The series is pretty condensed but otherwise fairly faithful. Seems strange that it never got finished, but on the other hand, it allegedly gets worse in the later manga chapters. It's probably unfit for adaptation as a series.

They're the Shadow Play Girls from Revolutionary Girl Utena. They appear once per episode and provide a very vague allegory for the plot of the episode. What they are or represent is a matter of personal preference, they're either literal aliens, self-aware shadows or Bodhisattvas - or whatever other explanation works for the viewer.

Chairchucker said their favourite JP Sears fact is that he's a lifestyle guru and also makes videos mocking lifestyle gurus to show he's 'self aware' or whatever and not a big freaking fraud like the ones he's making fun of.

Blood sausage is best when it is fresh from the cooker while it is still hot and creamy. Put on a plate, cut it open, enjoy with some sauerkraut and/or potatoes. If you don't make your own blood sausages (well, who does, it's predictably a rather bloody business ) and have no access to someone offering freshly cooked ones (difficult unless you live close to someone who still hosts a Schlachtfest - or as we call it, a Sautanz), this can be reproduced in some easy steps. Offer one blood sausage to the sausage gods. Cut it up, boil in water for a while, then reduce heat, add the blood sausages and wait until they're hot. Serve with sauerkraut and potatoes, add a mustard of your choice or freshly grated horseradish if you want. Result should look like this: Offering that initial sausage to the gods is an important step though, don't do this with regular water. You'll lose taste. Pretty sure I posted that already.

I'd love to argue against that statement, but it is impossible, as that is simply the current state of the anime industry at large, and worse, dubs everywhere are trying to emulate that. But anyway, here, have the best chipmunk experience ever:

I don't know, I didn't click on it, but it has pretty steep competition. There are videos where he called masks 'face suffocators'. Kinda hard to beat that.

That was a lot of episode runtime spent on something that ended up being mostly pointless. Crissy was killed off almost instantly and the only point was Max and Robin recalling something that happened with Crissy, which ultimately makes no difference.

I've read the plot blurb for the Pancreas movie. Now, bear with me for a bit, how about this setup: Girl is shown to be a normal schoolgirl, doing normal schoolgirl stuff. She is popular, has friends, is part of various school activities. Meanwhile Mr. Incel is just a random, not very popular guy in class. Schoolgirl gets the diagnosis and does not decide to hide it, but her friends suddenly start treating her like a delicate flower, she's no longer allowed to participate at some of the activities she likes for fear of hurting her (or whatever). Everyone is having pity parties with her. Some might distance themselves. Take your pick. Through <whatever> she starts to interact with random, not very popular guy and they bond over him treating her like a regular person. Done. The rest can play out in a similar fashion, but all of a sudden there's a reason for her conncetion to random guy, there's a decent emotional stake and the ending could be suitably tragic and poignant. In theory that would even be doable in feature film length. Sign of the times, I guess. Just skip the slow, boring introduction parts and jump right into the tragedy stuff. Plink, plink, plink plink... <funeral march> That's the car chase episode, right? That sure was something, especially with that abduction. But no, that was not Akira, just some other naked girl. Spoilerish for Akira, but that already came up:

The consistency is similar to softer sausages, e.g. like baloney.

Hyo?

I like my oats refined. It takes a while, but ultimately, they turn into this: Very tasty.

I did. Listen to the entire thing. I get too, sometimes, where I listen to terrible music on repeat because I can't stop, but that is very much not the case with the Husband Calling. Reminded me of the end of the skype laughter chain video. Does get a little fake at the end there. Wait, on topic? What? Right. HYOSTLE REMIX!

"Random system", as if that is not a shot of your rig.

Huh, first time, his videos keep being posted by the reactionary twits on the board, and one is unfunnier than the next - and that was before the guy turned into a covid vaccine nutjob. Hard pass.

It's a pity that Bandai Namco had the great live version of Dancing Stars On Me removed from YouTube, that was my go-to µ's song whenever I wanted to show off how bad music could get. Still, I'd rather listen to START DASH than that Husband Calling Rock edition thing. That made my eardrums bleed, although I suspect that was the original intention of the contest.

*mutters something about rather driving rusty nails up his scrotum than clicking on a JP Sears video*

A while ago, when I first heard of I Want To Eat Your Pancreas, I thought it would be a goofy zombie anime, why else would anyone want to eat someone's pancreas? Imagine my disappointment to learn it's one of those films.

And also:

Yeah, like, just google a random scene with Jadeite and Beryl, that should scare you off well and good. Tuxedo Mask is also doing a totally ridiculous mysterious but flirty stranger spiel (I did not find what I was looking for, but I saw something... interesting. *wink* Moon *wink*).

Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, episode 2. I'm not sure this belongs here, what with it being a live action show, but... man, I don't know what to say. This waffles between being hilariously overacted (Queen Beryl is a joy to behold) and curiously restrained, the costumes are terribly campy and Tuxedo Mask and his mullet are hard to believe without being seen. Skeletor from the Masters of the Universe film has nothing on her. Nothing. The jokes are delivered in such an earnest way it's hard not to burst out laughing, even if they're really old and tired, like Usagi going into the arcade with a faked one year membership pass with a doodle of Luna on it to drive home how ridiculous it is, and Motoki going "since when do we sell one year memberships?" just a second after she goes inside. The special "effects" are terrible, the CGI is hilarious and the acting is, uh... honestly, it's so bad it's... Dunno where this is going as I haven't spoiled myself yet outside of knowhing that we'll get a DARK MERCURY at some point. I wonder how often these 'swords' broke during filming. Anyway. Luna changing between horrible CGI, a plus toy and a plush puppet where you can see the hand of the puppeteer going into it at times round everything out. Make no mistake though, when Luna is the plush toy Luna, Luna actually is a plush toy. Look at this intro: So, anyway, episode two is more or less predictably about Usagi befriending Ami and her awakening. Usagi giving Ami a mini-disc copy of Minako's new album is a really curious sight too. These things never got to be popular here at all, at first I thought she was handing Ami a tape, but... well, a sign of the time when this got made. Too late for tapes, too early for widespread MP3-players. Usagi is as silly as in the anime and Luna is as snarky as in the anime. It feels kinda weird to say this, but if one can deal with the campy side, this is actually - so far - a real joy to watch. If there's a downside, then that it cannot truly stand on its own. Ami's and Usagi's interactions in this episode make sense for someone who has watched the original anime or read certain parts of the manga, but on their own? I don't know. Funny how the transformation sequences begin with the girls already wearing their body suits. I wonder why? Having choreographed fighting scenes in mini-skirts is a lot more revealing than the anime was, obviously, so you win some, you lose some, I guess. Ami has a damaging attack. Cheaper than a fog machine. Heh.

Under duress I bought Wobbly Life, a game that basically revolves around having terrible controls on purpose. What a joy to play.

What in the everblazing fires of hell... no, no, no. Nope. I'm going back to listening to µ's. edit: Hard to believe there's music out there that makes Love Live!'s µ's sound genuinely good.

And, if any of you want to develop ear cancer for some reason:
