There is still demand (from me!) and fansubbers are organized pretty well these days, I haven’t heard of any takedowns for a while.

€500: Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation

Es forziert die Produzenten energieeffiziente Geräte herzustellen und nicht über “Leistung” zu konkurrieren.

It’s not Clannad, that’s Takanashi Rikka from my favourite chuuni romance anime Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai!

Mimi is such a shit! I opened the peanut can she gave me and it was full of SNAKES!

I would only ever buy new HDDs tbh. But also, I bought a stack of 8TB HDDs in 2023 for €180 a piece and those same models are now €300… Thanks, Obama.

Anyway, I have 4 of those, 1 is parity, so 24TB of actual space. I started with a 2TB collection from my laptop harddrive and I’m now at 7TB used. I used to be more cautious with my space and I still have my *arrs set to stingy profiles now, to make downloads faster, but I also download and keep a lot more.

I do sometimes go through and delete stuff that I won’t watch (either watched and didn’t like or never watched). But that’s more so I won’t get tempted to watch it than for the space currently.

I think Angel Beats lost some of its cultural momentum when every following Maeda Jun project turned out to be a flop.

April 6: WITCH HAT ATELIER

That’s all

• Azumanga Daioh: gag comedy about high school, the dub is pretty good and the humor translates well (except for Blue Three/Bruce Lee, don’t know how the dub did that)
• Non non biyori: slice-of-life about elementary schoolers in a small town, lots of nature exploring and small adventures
• Ika Musume: squid girl comes to the surface to take revenge on the humans who destroyed her home, but she gets caught up in human affairs instead

I just started Sanda this week and I still have to catch up, but it’s already my sleeper hit of the year. What science are they doing at Science Saru to make Dandadan and this back to back?

I’m just disappointed in the AMZN subtitles and no fansubbers picked this up, so now I’m learning how to use Aegisub. For myself, initially, because it’s a bit late to retime the full season at this point.

Though if I figure out how to do signs and karaoke, it could still be worth doing a batch release for… next Christmas? (If no better groups pick it up before then. I’m just a single amateur with a grudge against badly timed subs.)

I wonder how the police even got involved. The article says the NCMEC reported him? But was he streaming the game? Did somebody on Steam or Discord see his game activity and ratted on him to the NCMEC?

Anyway, I don’t see why the National Council for Missing and Exploited Children should concern themselves with drawings of fictional characters. Nor the police, nor the law.

Reminds me of this cutie.

Sharks - Sweetness & Lightning

My only complaint about Frieren is the exam arc. Up till that point, it’s a tightly knit group of adventurers traveling with a very vague goal, it’s about their journey and their internal relationships. But the exam arc has an actual goal and introduces a lot of recurring characters, which really changes the vibe of the world. I liked it enough in the end, but I would’ve preferred more smaller arcs. On the other hand, season 2 could put the exam arc in a whole new light and make me appreciate all those characters much more when we see them again.

I was just thinking, can I honestly think of a perfect anime? But yes, Steins;Gate, without a doubt. It is so perfect that the second season, which is an almost-perfect anime and fits neatly in the events of the first, can only bring it down in perfection.

I recently rewatched it and there’s a lot of foreshadowing and plot points that hit harder when you see them coming.

Curling her arms around me, dragging me into the dark deep, holding me tight as I struggle to get free :3

And that’s ignoring the Uma Musume manga releasing earlier and My Little Pony: Make Your Mark enjoying modest popularity. And of course the simple fact that people can still be quite fond of cartoon horses who no longer get any new episodes.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Season 9 Episode 26: 2019-10-12

Uma Musume Pretty Derby Season 1 Episode 1: 2018-04-02

There was an 18 month overlap where you could watch two sets of animated cartoon horses.

For the English dub, yes. I even found Italian, French, German, Spanish and Russian. But none of the pirates set their VPN to Netherlands to get the Dutch dub.

And then you have me, who’s so hardcore I was forced to sign up for Netflix so I could watch the Dutch dub of Tonari no Totoro . If I was any more hardcore, I’d figure out how to rip it from there, because it’s the only home release it ever got, as far as I can tell. Can’t even find a second-hand VHS (wouldn’t be acceptable quality anyway).

But that whole situation means I’m a Netflix subscriber who “prefers dubs” for their stats, even though I rarely watch a dub.
