It's sad that we started with almost everything being available on Crunchyroll with ads after a week, and by the end it was only enough shows to fill a paragraph.

I never used ad-free Crunchyroll but I know people relied on it.

The ad copy is about how Led Zeppelin released Communication Breakdown in December 1968, and now 30 years later the Pocket Station is released as a new communication tool, "not that those things have any relation"

Nobody important, but I watched it and loved it.

Watch Back Arrow. It's a fun time!
Back Arrow fucking ruled and combined all the camp of Code Geass with the hot blooded energy of Gurren Lagann (same writer) but no one watched it

The Darkside Detective is a modern take on the old point and click adventure games we loved on the PC growing up. I really enjoyed my time with it and its dadjoke-like sense of humor too.

For what it's worth, even Okouchi (the original Code Geass writer) seems to appreciate that mix.

I am surprised they went ahead and decided to make a manga crossover between Code Geass and Gundam Wing, but then again...I assume the SRW games and kits have proved there's a demand.

It's also from the same guy who did Wing's Glory of the Losers and one of the recently concluded Code Geass manga.

Okay, the new Code Geass project looks extremely different from anything else they've ever done. No CLAMP and no Takahiro Kimura (RIP) either.

I assume this is to establish a separate identity not just visually but also in terms of setting.

I was fortunate to compose the soundtrack for this gorgeous game, blending familiar arcade board sounds with Saturday morning colors and cinematic grandeur! It's a big one for me 😊

I hope y'all enjoy the music!

I think an underrated book in this set is Épopée - Tales from French Game Developers. You get to read a bunch of interviews with developers of weird French DOS games (and some non-weird ones too I guess)

I'll also say this outright: I remember people criticizing Code Geass and various modern Gundam shows for the politics being cartoonish, but...uh, real life sure is constantly proving that too many living political leaders and the ultra-wealthy can be both juvenile manchildren and cartoonishly evil.

I always was in the awkward position of being a Code Geass R2 apologist when it came to thematic analysis and character arcs, especially in light of genre and approach, but I also totally understood why folks weren't so happy about how exactly things turned out in terms of certain plot devices.

It's weird when you're simultaneously broke in reality yet not on paper.

Paypros censorship 🧵

As you all know, I've faced significant stress this month from having various online accounts dinged in some shape or form. I discussed this on stream earlier this week, but would like to break down the full timeline in post form

I was briefly tempted to say the current One Punch Man S3 anime controversy showed the dark side of the sakuga community, but I quickly realized that most of the people who actually know and care about the anime industry aren't the ones threatening creators or fueling the hate mobs.

Fantasy Maiden Wars is out right now!

I am very ignorant of all things Touhou, but the game's reputation is quite good and the Super Robot Wars influence is appealing.

F91 was released to theaters in an incomplete state, using TV-quality animation they had already made and missing many scenes. Later in the same year a "complete" edition was released to theaters, comprised of almost 100% redone animation. if you've seen F91 it was probably Complete Edition.
