It’s up to the authors how they want to license it.

Plus or minus some amount of piracy, sure

I mean, look what happened with TCP/IP.

A fucking disaster for humanity on a global scale

I feel like I’m looking at a scene from The Reanimator.

Peak anime.

One Thrust Man

And the greatest of the three was

damn, says here its the Anime Adaption. Rock on, Danny Devito.

I’ve never had a hard #1. It feels almost vulgar to hold Evangelion, Samurai Champloo, and Golden Boy to the same standard.

But there are definitely shows I pick up on that bring the whole artistic style into a new light. The style and pacing of Frieren, especially early on, left me wondering why I haven’t found an anime like this sooner. The outro music mix in Chainsaw Man sets it apart even beyond the story. Miyazaki’s Spirited Away put all those hack Disney movies in the dust bin.

I don’t think I can pry Full Metal Alchemist out of my brain just to make room for One Piece in the top spot. So much of the appeal of the genre is in the invention and the artistry. It’s a space that still feels fresh and bold and weird in a way American media struggles to compete. But who can rate a Van Gogh against a Rafael or a Picaso? Who would dare to try?

Had no idea Kill a Kill was going to go as hard as it did by the ending arc.

Just one of those shows that starts strong and gets better with every passing episode.

Looks like AI generated slop

FLCL is now an 18-episode series.

Okay, yes. But the new stuff is mid at best.

I don’t feel like they were as good as the original series.

Feels like they jumped on the Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone bandwagon and did a remake nobody asked for.

FLCL is a quick, fun six part jaunt I love to revisit.

Cowboy Bebop is so episodic you can just throw any one of them on out of order and have a good time.

And anything Miyazaki. I’ve watched Kiki’s Delivery Service, Howl’s Moving Castle, and Princess Monanoke half a dozen times each.

Today’s environmental problems are certainly bad, but it’s nothing compared to 30 or 40 years ago.

What we lack in degree, we make up for in volume. “Carbon emissions aren’t nearly so bad as sulfur emissions” is technically true, right up until you’re living in a village that’s crushed by a glacier.

The global scale of industry is so much larger than it was 30 or 40 years ago. Even if you want to talk about microplastics, we’re creating such an enormous waste disposal crisis that it’s having cumulative effects at scale. The Holocene Extinction has not abated in the last generation. It’s accelerating.

Beaten to death by her own boobs.

Tragic.
