Well, the next time someone brings up a terrible anecdote about Cambodia or Vietnam, I will definitely drop the Star Wars story to show that people have two sides.

and yes, WEGG was mentioned
“While I am not sure that Takopi will be able to handle its sensitive themes or will WEGG out, as we now like to say, I am glad to see it exists, and will be reporting back on how it does. In the meantime, if you want to find series that explore similar themes in thoughtful ways that we know land in a good place, I highly recommend Blood on the Tracks and Dead Dead Demon’s Dededede Destruction.”

Steven Universe: Storm in the Room: one of the most disturbing and accurate depictions of grief i have ever seen, embodying Thomas Mann’s dictum that mourning is largely consisting of shame about our inability to mourn and inability to love. The pinnacle of the show.

this is astonishingly deeply researched and well considered episode review. love to both get to geek out about one of my fave premieres AND learn about 80s anime history
text reads: “Despite her and Luke's objections, she must assist in the fight against the Void, this time coming in the form of countless flying insects. When she tries to summon the God Warrior again, her pegbar tells her she can't reuse ideas - “No stock footage!” After wracking her brain, she sits down and draws an Itano Circus, the signature action style of legendary animator and director Ichirō Itano consisting of the camera zooming and swooping along as it tracks the movement of dozens of missiles. This sequence was notably storyboarded by Itano himself, his first animation work in nearly a decade. It speaks toward ZENSHU's reverence for the work of the '80's, a time when the anime industry was evolving rapidly thanks to the bubble economy and bursting with experimental animation and storytelling as it shifted from a children's medium to something that served all ages and could focus on darker topics. The world of Tale of Perishing even deliberately resembles animation of the cel era, rather than today's high-gloss digital productions. Although it's too early to say for sure, one of the themes could very well be Natsuko looking back on what made her fall in love with the medium and finding inspiration in her roots as a fan, further suggested by the imagery of her at different ages sitting in an otherwise-empty theater, watching Tale of Perishing.”

Ah yes, Natsuki Takaya, famously the author of *checks notes* Ouran High School Host Club. Thank you Google AI
Screenshot of google search: "Did fruits basket influence ouran." AI Overvew: "Natsuki Takaya, the author of Fruits Basket, also created Ouran"

genuine question: when in Utena’s ending is there a “trip to Europe”? Let alone one to escape homophobia?

love when people just straight up make up things to be mad about to justify genocide!!!!
“We stand with those grieving the loss of children and loved ones, both Israelis and Palestinians, and against the murder of civilians.” “on October 7th Hamas retook control of several Israeli settlements using bombs and ground troops and killed over 1300 Israelis, most of them civilians.”
