That’s too bad, the original -> A’s -> StrikerS series was pretty great if I remember (been a minute since I watched).

Nanoha-mama and Fate-mama was pretty peak though.

I only ever played her path. Felt like I didn’t need anything more after her.

The fact that the White Devil is not there is pretty blasphemous.

Edit: is it just that new generations don’t know about Nanoha? Did it die after StrikerS?

I believe all the claims except for the right wing operative, there’s likely embellishments and fabrications there. Everyone else tho, I believe straight up.

Feel the thrill of being alive.

Totally fair, and obviously the old HK cinema has plenty of great stuff with Maggie Chueng as well.

I don’t use letterboxd, but I’ll put my shit out there. In no order:

The Grand Budapest Hotel, Hard Boiled, True Grit (Coen Bros), The Seventh Seal

First two great, last two questionable (though I hate horror).

Based on Kill Bill, watch

Enter The Dragon (and all of Bruce Lee’s other films tbh)

Hard Boiled

The Good, The Bad, and the Weird (after The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly though).

Police Story (any 80’s/90’s Jackie Chan is good though)

Manga: Hyakkano remains great. The recent kanos have been excellent, and I’m hype for the anime this July, mostly for Naddy-sensei

Anime: Needy Girl Overdose has potential to be a Welcome to the NHK deconstruction of stan/vtuber culture, but we’ll see where it goes (I know it’s based on a game, but don’t have time to play it and spoil myself). Trying to stick it out with Witch Hat, but we’ll see.

, the no-bedtime anarchists are now in control.

the bodega cats will immediately seize your treats.

Yeah don’t love this. I’d really rather own all the companies other than AI first, but that’s just me.

If you need to wash your brain out, Torture Princess actually subverts the captured warrior woman trope.

If he purges a bunch of McKinsey contracts and saves money he’s actually doing good shit. He’s already touted moves like this in the past, if the commission basically kills contractors that’s a good thing. Semi cringe naming but could be good

However, the origin of both isekai tendencies is The Divine Comedy, where the social satire/reform and religious ideology exist in harmony. Ironic that it could critique the schism but became a schism itself.

If you can’t fart around a long term partner, what’s the point.

Obviously you gotta get to that point (I can understand holding it in for the first year) but you gotta eventually let one rip and laugh about it together.

Official hexbear party line here, report for reeducation if you cannot support this sentiment.

P.S. I am including “I don’t like Hasan, but” in the sentiment.

Yeah, not gonna lie, phone banking is fairly easy work, so I’m not like I’m giving myself the or anything.

I respect the anti-electoralist currents in our comm, but the irony here is that Hasan is getting smoke for real aid and propaganda work for AES.

We can have critical support for his support of Dems who are half-measures or other blind spots around left politics, but why bring that in here when this is basically the kind of praxis that any good ML should approve of wholeheartedly. We can disagree about some of the things Hasan supports (and I should say, some of his stuff around CA politics in particular is depressing though some of that is also just the left in CA’s fault as well…), but in this case I don’t get why folks are blasting him.

Yeah I’m too busy phone banking org members to post here.

Yeah, it’s “Shinbo Style”, btw, he’s the director at SHAFT who did Zetsubou Sensei, bakemonogatari, Madoka, among others.

Ume-sensei is the artist for the manga, and she also designed Madoka

To be fair Calvin basically is at fault for the turn to material goods by American protestantism
