I haven't made much effort to keep up with anime in years. If we go back to classics, I highly recommend Slayers.

The last newish anime that I watched was Goblinslayer, and honestly, it did not disappoint. 91 Days not long before that. I guess I really actually enjoyed the drama in 91 Days.

As far as classics go, and as far as all anime goes, my favorite anime is still Samurai Champloo. Particularly the episodes featuring Sarah, the blind songstress assassin.


"Why'd you stop?! Why'd you pull back, you know you had me COLD!"

Spoilers for Mugen/Sara fight

It's probably one of the most talked about scenes, but also one of the most misunderstood. When Mugen takes off his geta, and swings at Sarah from behind, she actually only barely manages to dodge it. Unlike all of her dodges in their fights and Jin's fight previously, it is a dodge that lacks grace. Then, her weapon will reach Mugen first, both because Mugen spun around such was the force of his first swing, and also because of the length and pivot point of Sarah's cross spear. She stops it though, because she realizes that even though she will hit Mugen first, it will not stop the momentum of his swing, and they will both die, so she expresses her love for Mugen and stops the swing, dishonoring him to fulfill her desire for him to live. She dies, and most people think she let Mugen win, but the truth is that she let Mugen live. Even if she hadn't, she would have still died. He did win, but at a cost.

91 Days was really good. It's one of the best pieces of animated storytelling I've seen in a while. You should try Joker Game, it's got the same level of story telling and drama.

(The first being Robotech: The Macross Saga.)

I see you are a person of (proto)culture.

Bandai opened another Gunpla factory to catch up to demand. The upside is that a bunch of stuff on my want list got reprinted and I have a backlog again! The downside is that a bunch of stuff on my want list got reprinted and I have a backlog again.

Also, I forgot how loose Iron-Blooded Orphans HG kits can be. Gremory can barely stand up even fresh out of the box. Gonna have to take it to the garage and topcoat it later to stiffen it up a bit.

It's funny to me how much shit people give Vtubers.
Because they seem to consistently have funnier personalities than basically every big and popular Streamer, and more work and effort actually goes into them.

I think they had some group name that I can't remember, but Gawr Gura's group is hilarious and the pink lady one is legit a really talented musician and I know that one of the others is an artist.
There's some of the Japanese ones that are pretty funny too.
My only complaint really is that some of them definitely do play into the '' uwu girl of questionable age now here lets look at my lewd fanart and sexualize my character ''...
I uh, wouldn't watch them when other people are around...
But if one can overlook that or watch the ones who don't do that I find Vtubers to be much more fun to watch.

After several hours of work and a LOT of brain-ache later, I'm done rigging! Now I just gotta sit back and wait til I debut.

That moment when you realize you've got food poisoning and the sauce you used was just not under the recall notice but same brand that was recalled.
