Damn, even this isn’t quite what I was looking for.

I know the reason is to save costs, but holy fucking shit the anime just loves repeating scenes huh? I think the most egregious is the flashbacks to stuff already shown in the same episode, it’s like there’s only 8 minutes of actual content in a 22 minute episode. Part of the strength of One Pace is that a lot of those repeated scenes are completely cut out, which condenses a couple of episodes into one.

absolutely crucial. All my devices are always connected through a VPN, and usually I try to route my traffic through a different country. When your country is paying for a service to monitor citizen’s internet traffic, anonymity is worth paying for.

I still enjoyed it, but maybe a quarter of the way through you can really start to tell that it was based on a visual novel dating kinda game and a lot of that stuff turned me off.

I also hate that it gets recommended as a great time travel anime. It’s a terrible time travel anime, it doesn’t even count as time travel. It’s a monkeys paw anime!

Very early on, they’ll be in season 2 of the Netflix live action remake. Episode 81 of the anime.

I typically tell people to watch through Arlong Park. If you aren’t interested in it by that arc, it’s just not for you.

I’ll contend that pre-TS legitimately can stand with the absolute best of the genre, but recommending OP to people feels like a trap. It’s like “hey here’s 500 episodes of peak to get you hooked, now you get to watch 500+ episodes of mid because you just wanna know how it ends.”

I honestly wish Japan would split their genres a lil more. Shonen feels like such a default “anime” genre, and yeah most of it is just generic drivel. Then something actually wild and interesting comes along like DanDaDan or Gachiakata or SANDA, but you basically have to find them through word of mouth or knowing the animation studios.

Could I get a lil more info as to where to find this? I’ve long held the opinion that I would actually enjoy Naruto if there was a recut of it similar to One Pace. The big thing that causes me to bounce off it is the anime’s love of flashbacks.

I’m pretty sure you got wooshed lol, New World Order was the wrestling group Hulk Hogan was a part of

The Last Epoch subreddit is currently in meltdown mode, seems like this news has kinda ended any potential goodwill and community the devs had grown. Real shame, because it was a cool competitor in the ARPG space, but the last update was incredibly underwhelming. Between that, this, and the fact that they’re going to be charging for future expansions, seems p likely they go under in another year.

I think so, yes. I think the Earth would generally be a better place if we had never evolved.

It wasn’t really a decision, Leto was a major producer on the film. ig that’s the only way he can still get work, by financing the movies himself.

See you all in a decade when they try rebooting this franchise again!

It’s almost comical at this point how Disney just refuses to learn from their mistakes.

I know the natural explanation is coincidence, but those etsy witches cursed Charlie Kirk and he died only like a week or two later. I like to believe magic does exist.

You’ll never actually get studies “proving” this in a scientific sense, unfortunately, because there’s really no way to design an ethical experiment. You can’t force one group to take homeopathic treatments vs another group receiving medical care, just as you can’t force one group to take vaccines while another doesn’t.

That being said, there are longitudinal studies demonstrating the rates of autism amongst vaccinated individuals and I wouldn’t be surprised if someone had done a similar study regarding medical outcomes for people who take homeopathic treatments. It’s just that scientists will never call that “proof” because the bar is very high, and media will always conflate that with “the jury is still out who knows what’s right” because they’re profit hungry bastards.

That’s a fair difference, but do you think the controversy wouldn’t exist if there was the same degree of separation? I’m pretty sure people would take umbrage with the comedians at the festival as long as it was hosted in Saudia Arabia, irregardless of who ultimately pays for it.

I can’t help but feel like a lot of the controversy is fueled by Islamaphobia. Like, would anyone be caring if these comics were going to a Budapest comedy festival? Hell, the United States is currently killing citizens, but I’ve not seen any pushback regarding any American comedy festivals. It just seems strange that the autocratic nation critics seem to have the most issues with happens to be Middle-Eastern.

Personally, I’m in the same boat as you. Saudia Arabia has already stepped in to help prop up too much of the media my parents help produce, and it’d be hypocritical of me to claim that this festival is a bridge too far.

I really, truly, seriously hate modern implementations of AI and am willing to make concessions in my life to avoid using it. Windows 11 forcing Copilot was my last straw for using Microsoft.

Except the issue is that they were participating, and the ratchet effect happened anyway.

From my experiences working third-party and leftist campaigns over the years, this is a really common story. A lot of people have burned out on voting and activism because they have done it and seen it not accomplish anything in the U.S.

Still feel bad for Kinta doing 90% of the work only to lose out on his dream scifi girlfriend.

Even before he grabs Frostmourne, hiring mercenaries to burn your boats so that your men are forced to follow your revenge quest is pretty fucked up.

I think the thing people miss is that even though what Arthas did at Stratholme was strategically correct, he was already doing it for the wrong reasons.
