    animals are multicellular by definition, which the smaller plankton aren't

    it's pretty hard to filter feed without getting some zooplankton with your phytoplankton, though, or even targeting protozoans over metazoans for whatever reason


    so the simplest answer if you want vegetation mermaids is probably just seagrass, seaweed, algae and whatnot. y'know, like actual herbivorous fish

    Zooplankton probably don't talk though, or nobody else in the ocean could get anything done, so they could probably still be on the menu without many ethical qualms.

    Unless you get Jainist mermaids.

    Day 3 of Theme Of King JJ being stuck in my head

    I barely remember what other songs sounded like. Were there ever other songs? I don't know anymore.

    Naruto had some really great OPs actually.

    Second one was cool for the song and giving glimpses at the cast really expanding

    And Heroe's Come Back is perfect for the first Shippuden OP.

    You're thinking of Richard Finder. He's a leader in the field.

    no see that wasn't a joke that was actually a guy's name and yes he would inevitably get shit for it whenever someone heard his name for the first time.

    I really enjoy the Death Parade OP

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjjTMNDZi-A

    It's one of those OPs which manages to be literally truthful (the various scenes and characters all appear in the show, and it even foreshadows some stuff) while still totally, bald-faced lying about the tone of the show.

    Also, obligatory anime OP post:

    A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

    I had a friend whose dad was Dr Payne.

    There's also a well known jazz pianist named Dick Hyman.

    Silent Voice was initially a really good one-shot, it was part of a contest and the winner got serialized. So it's great that it won, but also it kinda felt like the author had already told the story she wanted to tell, and a lot of the later pacing and stuff struggles because of it. Like there's still good individual sequences and stuff, but it definitely goes too long and gets too distracted with side characters.

    Oh, also that's the manga which had to fight a lawsuit to get published - a conservative group sued because (they said) its protagonist being a bully advocated bullying, and it shouldn't be published in a kids magazine. Meanwhile the Japanese Federation of the Deaf is like endorsing the manga as talking about issues that deaf people can face in Japanese society, which has such an emphasis on fitting in and being part of the group. Of course that's why the group was complaining in the first place - not really that it advocated bullying, but that it admitted that bullying exists at all. The publisher fought it in court and won, but it took a while, which delayed serialization.

    A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.

    Thanks Kana. I love hearing the background behind famous works. That does make a lot of sense: I kinda felt the movie was about 20 minutes too long, but I was also making the issue much worse by pausing it and studying the Japanese as it was going on. I think the emotions hit me a little harder this morning, so I might get a bit more out of it by giving it another shot. I’m going to try to convince my sister to watch it with me when I see her next week.

    Haven't heard anything about the game but playable Mako is a pretty good selling point.

    For the record, every other language option for that option uses a form of “sect” when translating that line.

    The “left-wing” is something that isn’t present at all in the original text
