    Latest episode of Vinland Saga was real cute. Loved the musical remix they had:
    I'm pretty sure it was a rearrangement of this:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0A10nWz4PA&list=PLRcHkhbMNTBhxC935KTZysN0Malhd8k--&index=25
    But I might be wrong. I know I had had heard the melody somewhere in season 1, but without double checking real hard I can't be sure which part of the soundtrack it was riffing on. It's was an even softer arrangement than the above, replacing wistfulness with a sense of contentment: i.e. for the first time since he was a kid Thorfinn is starting to be a little happy.

    Also I've only known him for six episodes but Einarr is my precious boy and if anybody hurts him... I'll kill every man in Norway!

    I remember being introduced to Dirty Pair by a neighbor, both of us teens, who said he never misses an episode. So one night he puts it on and we watch it. It's pretty good but I don't know why he specifically is into it because I know him and this doesn't seem like his kind of thing. So I ask what makes him like the show so much.

    Shogakukan's website for its Big Comic series of magazines began listing on Tuesday that Naoki Urasawa's Pluto manga is getting an animated series adaptation that will stream exclusively on Netflix.

    Update: A now-deleted Tweet from Netflix Anime on Tuesday had listed that the anime will star Shinshū Fuji as Gesicht, Yōko Hikasa as Atom, and Minori Suzuki as Uran. The Tweet also listed a 2023 premiere.

    That would be dope, even if it's netflix-only.

    But really hope it's not gonna be one of those ugly cg jobs

    Oh hey, Kanojo mo Kanojo this week is, uh, not exactly subtle about Saki's sexuality. Guess we'll have to see if they keep following up on it but
    this chapter Saki's pretty blatantly like, hmm yes kissing Naoyo is pleasant and I like him... Also damn watching one of these other cute girls kiss him is hot af, I sure wish I was kissing a cute girl like that. Hey girls what if we just like... All dated each other???

    I love that Naoya is just immediately supportive of the idea, and not cuz he thinks it's hot but just because he's a supportive guy.

    Also, latest Komi-San (392) is heading in the same sort of direction (okay, not even slightly heading in that direction, but Kawai definitely still has herself some goals):

    Pluto is kind of like "What if Alan Moore's Watchmen was about Astro Boy characters"

    Also if was way better illustrated, and didn't accidentally poison comics for decades afterwards.

    Frankly, it's probably better than Watchmen, but I find Watchmen both overrated, and inevitably dated (Moore's real good work is in Tom Strong & Top Ten)

    speaking of reimaginings of tezuka stories, the other weekend i watched metropolis for the first time since, oh, half my life ago at least? long enough that it felt fresh, though the first time i saw it i was young and impressionable enough such that much of the movie was just waiting to come rushing back to me

    and what a rush it was—reader, let me tell you, that movie fucking holds up (although it took some getting adjusted to the amount of screen wipes used—like other aspects, it harkens back to an earlier era)

    anyway i could write a longer post but i'll just say re: the ending
    can confirm that i still have ray charles ptsd, that climactic sequence fucked me up but good as a 12 yr old and still gets to me now, it was a lot of fun getting to point out to my friends that 'oh yeah this ending photograph? this wasn't included in the dubbed release back in the day. i don't think i found out this movie had a happy ending for a couple years after the fact'

    but yeah. metropolis good. metropolis soundtrack good. watch metropolis

    Re: Kanojo no kanojo.
    It's pretty explicitly:
    https://youtu.be/jgFyCuKoEGA
    at this point.

    It also calls back to a chapter or two ago when Naoya told Saki she should also be free to date people besides himself. The twist is she takes his harem instead of finding new boyfriends.

    Re: metropolis.
    I saw most of that movie when I was younger without knowing what it was or what anime really was. I think it was on Toonami, but definitely on TV.

    Years later I found it on Hulu and watched the whole thing and it blew my mind.

    The ending with I can't stop loving you is deeply ingrained at this point.

    It's a surprisingly direct adaptation of a specific Astroboy storyline. Of course he added a lot to it, but it IS an adaptation.

    to summarize the original story, it's about an evil dude who built a robot named Pluto who has the mission to beat up the seven strongest robots on Earth:
    1. Montblanc, a Swiss woodcutter;
    2. North #2, a Scottish butler;
    3. Brando, a Turkish wrestler;
    4. Gerhart, a German detective;
    5. Hercules, a Greek gladiator;
    6. Photar, an Australian robot that IIRC runs an orphanage;
    7. ...and Astro Boy.

    the big thing is that he changed the POV character from being Astro Boy to being, well, Gesicht, Europol detective made of zeronium alloy.
    ...also he expanded it from an already lengthy 181 page story to eight entire volumes, I guess.
