I physically felt the recoil of the club hitting the rock face on stroke 2.

this is tangential but it reminds me how Fast and the Furious kept trying to slide Tokyo Drift further in the future to make the timeline work,

despite it being so blatantly early 00s that saying it happened even a few months after the film's release would be a stretch.

always the beyblade meme when it comes to spotting potential lol

like I will admit, Devola/Popola was sold in *less* time, this screenshot before talking

(the secret is- a character's significance is usually directly proportional to how bespoke and detailed their design is, and my FF14 lizard girl has a tonnnnn of custom design, straight down to her scales)

that's what I was taught to do at our local facility and I do crack up any time I have to say it

I'm suddenly more afraid of this happeneing than that booking I looked at in California

Enjoyed tuning in again!

I got burned again to a lesser extent with GQuuuuuuX tbh.

Which isn't like a "no no what have you done" mess like Wonder Egg but boy do I have feelings that largely boil down to "I would be fine if this 13 episode series was three thirteen episode cours"

instead of... four episode arcs

it has such a good hook to be a dark yet hopeful Quantum Leap esque anthology and they fumble the bag so hard

it's a show I genuinely wish I could have wrote because I would have so much to write

it's not even an adaptation, but the way Wonder Egg fumbled a perfect premise and great early episodes to an atrocious last cour and finale haunts me.

like beyond the plot nonsense what do you mean the misogynistic operators weren't meant to be interratogated on that and were author surrogates

this dub is charming- it does have the same energy the recent Gunbuster did of feeling like it was dubbed decades ago while only actually being dubbed in the last few years

@quicksparrows.bsky.social I also must know- how did it taste?

I was tempted- it would be very funny to sell two consoles and a drumkit only two leave with a decade old soda

So cute!

as a kid I liked him being a badass

as an adult I appreciate how he was a great foil to a carefee live in the moment lead and a tale of grief and trauma appropriate for a younger audience...

*and* that he's still a teleporting motorcycle riding badass

I have always been a Shadow girl, I have an old Christmas photo of me excitedly clutching his 2005 game,

but I've definitely shifted back around from looking on that memory and cringing to unapologetically loving him sincerely

16's prologue is very tight, I'll give it that. You'd hit the 2 hour mark right after playing as Phoenix set to Away.

I think 6 has a very compelling opening credits but yeah 7 probably has it overall.
