    If you all wanted to keep your colony, then maybe you should've put some guards on that cliff side!

    Then you wouldn't have been out manoeuvred by a wimpy Englishman who whined about how he'd rather be a poet!

    Jujutsu Kaisen movie was pretty dang good

    Excited to watch it on Sunday.

    It's getting really positive reviews. I was surprised to see Slate devote an article to it.

    Also Seth MacFarlane made one of those pilots, and tho it didn't get picked up it was the first version of family guy

    He went on to write for Johnny Bravo
    Kid me didn't really get that these were pilots, and I remember being really disappointed that I never saw any more episodes of the one posted here. Me and a friend would quote some of the jokes from it for years after.

    On the other hand, I also really loved the Courage pilot, and ended up haaaaaaating the actual series for how much it changed in between, so you win some, you lose some.

    So I watched the first episode of Miss Kuroitsu from the Monster Development Department, and while I like the premise a whole lot (as I like literally anything tokusatsu-adjacent), there's a character introduced towards the end of that first ep that is at the very least potentially problematic. And I don't know how to feel about this.

    This was also my reaction to the first episode, and I even mentioned it in my recommendation. I don't think it's been bad enough to stop watching, but it definitely stands out.

    I was very much joking but I can see how this might look like me butting in to be a turd. Also, this is pretty much how The Fields of Abraham and Anglo/Francophone history is taught in Western Canada, or was when I was in school.

    Wolfe was brave and crafty and this was a big victory for "us", and then no more history of Quebec until a few paragraphs about the Quiet Revolution in a grade 10 history textbook.

    Oh.

    Well, for your personal culture... (information in spoiler)
    Apparently there were guards on that cliffside, but they were taken out by British soldiers under the command of a Colonel William Howe. Source

    Also, France did not consider the defense of New France a military priority, so, uh, well, to paraphrase 300's King Leonidas, Quebec City may have had more men defending it, but the British had more soldiers.

    You know, sometimes I wonder about the wisdom of the content of our compulsory education curriculum (so primary and secondary schooling).

    ETA:

    Anyway...

    To bring this back to the topic, French anime dub of Cardcaptor Sakura > that "Cardcaptors" bowdlerization.

    I honestly felt this way about Toonami coming home everyday. My stepdad was like a terror to us kids, Toonami came on in the 2 hour window between after school and the parents coming home. So to me it was a small solace in a shitty world for sure. Mission accomplished.

    Life With an Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated Into a Total Fantasy Knockout has an annoyingly long title but I like the first couple episodes. Romcom about two office worker men who get isekai'd and one becomes a woman, and then they have to both try really hard to pretend they're not into each other. I hope the queer and trans subtext I smell from this is intended. The comedy's pretty good regardless.

    I got distracted by Ranking of Kings so I went back and finished Dynazenon.

    Man, that was some good shit. Like, maybe my favorite thing from Trigger.
    The whole resolution with the Kaiju Eugenicists felt a little rushed but all the Kaiju stuff in general didn't matter a whole lot in my opinion. If it were up to me the last two episodes would've dropped the kaiju completely and just been about everybody, including the euginicists kind of coming to terms with life as it is now. Episode 10 absolutely ruled and felt like kind of a good culmination to everybody's various hangups and regrets and them having to literally breakthrough them to move forward and win.

    That said, everything still wrapped up really well. It was kinda melancholy but with a real sweet finish. Like, sunshine right after a rain storm.

    It got me, homies. It got me real good right in my sensitive bits.

I hope the queer and trans subtext I smell from this is intended. The comedy's pretty good regardless.

    I read a bunch of the source material. There is definitely some subtext there.

    The dude who did not get changed into a woman very explicitly shows no interest in women, or even men, except unconsciously for his friend. He kind of reads as like asexual and demi-romantic with like literally the only person he has ever fallen in love with being his friend but he doesn't realize it because he doesn't have a barometer to compare it to. If he does have a sexual preference it seems to be for men. I'll be honest I didn't really real a lot of trans vibes in the other character: he doesn't mind being in a woman's body he's just worried about how it'll affect his relationship with his friend. Like he likes being cute but I'm pretty sure he still identifies as a man. He could be bi, he does seem to have an appreciation for very handsome men.

    It's pretty funny, only like, one or two real problematic things in it. Has a pretty funny revolving cast of side characters.

    The main trans vibe I got from it was that his drunk rambling unconscious wish that led to the whole situation was wanting to be a super pretty girl. That feels like a trans egg moment to me. He doesn't admit it to himself when fully conscious but he sure does seem to be having fun existing as a woman by the second episode. It's for sure intentionally ambiguous though, as queer subtext anime often is.

    Also Thunderbolt Fantasy is just a D&D/Pathfinder game. Or I guess Sword World. These first four episodes have been gathering the party of clearly defined classes while the GM PC spells out the three magical items they need to gather to defeat the big bad, who is happy to sit in his evil tower and wait for them to show up.
