    I wonder what the direction in the recording booth must have been. "Okay, so in this scene you find out everyone you ever knew or loved is dead and the entire world has been completely obliterated. We'd like you to read this next line like you just took like eight Valium."

    Not just the recording booth, the writing itself!

    "Upon finding out that your enemy killed everyone you know, you calmly start holding a speech for how you want to now suddenly not just give up fighting but give up any sovereignty and independence you had left and your people's way of life in favor of suddenly forming a federation where your enemies will rule while of course assuming that all of your enemies will just jump at the opportunity"

    Reminds me of some ST Enterprise plot where as soon as the ship encounters two species that have been engulfed in devastating bitter war and it takes literally 3 hours for the captain to convince them to just surrender and be annexed by the Federation. :wat:

    Netflix has a new season of Seven Deadly Sins. Five episodes in and I have no fucking idea what is going on.

    I think they doubled down. They’re doing a time travel arc of all things.

    I am starting to think Escanor’s real power is that no matter what his clothes always perfectly fit.

    I went serching to see if twin tails hair was actually a thing. Pigtails technically refer to two braided strands of hair.

    Unbraided pigtails, i.e., bunches, are extremely popular in Japan, especially in anime and manga fandom and Japanese otaku culture.[3] Traditionally a hairstyle worn by young girls, it has come to represent innocence, and is also known as the "twintail" or futatsu-yui (二つ結い). Anime and manga characters sporting twintails have been prevalent since the 1960s, and the hairstyle has since entered mainstream culture, in part due to VocaloidHatsune Miku embracing the look.[3] This includes the creation of a "Japan Twintail Association" to promote and celebrate the hairstyle, as well as running photo spreads of models sporting the dual tails.[3] "Twin Tail Day" is officially recognized by the Japan Anniversary Association and falls on February 2, when girls post images of themselves with the hairstyle onto Twitter.[4]

    Watchin' the Justice League Dark movies. I don't get how the live action films can be such utter garbage when the animated versions are so freaking good.

    It blows my mind that studios can actually manage to fuck up Comic Book movies. They literally could just make the cartoons live action and would make a fucking killing. Everything is already done for them, just turn the cartoons into live action movies/shows. That's it, boom, billion dollar industry.

    There's a guy at the local used game store who wears a missing-nin headband from the Hidden Sound. I've never asked why, because I'm pretty sure he would tell me. For hours. :eek:

    You'd be correct. They stopped that stupid stuff in Shippuden. But it was supposedly due to the fact Naruto had some mental issue.

    The anniversary associations in some countries don't seem to be especially picky and it will cause issues in the future decades.

    I mean aha, today is the "when Jussi lost his dog but later realized that he had not taken the dog along and it was safely at home all along-day".

    I mean, just about anyone would have some kind of issues after being snubbed by almost the entire village since birth. Doesn't make it any less obnoxious.

    The best part is how not only was it not remotely his fault, he totally saved everybody and all they had to do is just not be total dicks. You had one job, literally everyone in Konoha.
