Hedge poet. I watch anime & am often accused of reading.
'Now praise those names on tombs of steel engraved | And toll this rotting country's countless bells.'
When we had our third child, we bought a surplus SDF-1 Macross. It's the only thing I trust to keep them safe if we're hit by someone in an Adrastea-class Zanscare motorcycle... er, battleship.
Good luck to anyone in the Adrastea.

I was playing it last year, and thinking about how its original release actually came quite near the end of the period when a lot of that would have made sense to the audience.
Every individual anime season is bad.
Anime in general is good in the sense that Gundam is good: many titles are bad but there're so many that this doesn't matter.
Unless you're professionally obliged to, you don't need to spend any time watching anime you don't like.
People joke, understandably, about light-novel titles, but what’s up with US popular history books all being called
Adjective Noun: Noun, Nouns and Adjective Adjective Nouns: The Untold Story of How Noun and Noun Verbed the Noun: A History
Just took me 93-year-old mum to vote, she’s registered blind. In a very loud voice she said, 'Which box to ban 3DCG giant robots?' and everyone in the polling station cheered.
“Microsoft acquires Activision Blizzard for $70 billion”, “King of the Hill might be coming back”, “Free COVID tests are now available through USPS”, and “Tifa Lockhart hentai was shown in front of the Italian senate” is a lot of information to take in during just one day.
Idc what ships make you angry. What is a ship that brings u unbridled joy. What ships make you squeal and giggle and swing your feet!!!!!!!!! What ships plague ur dreams!!!!!
This year Space Dandy will be as old as Monster was when Space Dandy aired.
And Monster will be as old as Fist of the North Star was when Monster aired.
And Fist of the North Star will be as old as Fuku-chan's Submarine was when Fist of the North Star aired.
While packing my suitcase I accidentally left a cup of Earl Grey brewing for eighteen minutes rather than three.
It has now advanced to the rank of God-Emperor Grey and is demanding blood sacrifice, please advise.
Anime has a really, really short history.
Someone who worked on Astro Boy directed a film that came out /this year/.
Japan’s oldest living person is a few years older than Katsudou Shashin.

Why do so few organisations understand that
'We'll form a team of super robots with the Yamato as the mothership'
is an acceptable answer to almost any professional problem.
Okay. I tried to sum up, as simply as possible, what we mean when we talk about anime's shift from analogue to digital:

This is excellent!
(It is Middle English, not Old: serve, royal, family, record, and age all enter English from French after the end of the Old English period. But I realise people pointing this sort of minor thing out on Twitter are insufferable so, um, sorry.)
believing that men go to jupiter to get more stupider isn’t bioessentialist at all. it says right there that men are not innately more stupider, they had to go to jupiter for it.

If you’ve heard even only a brief parody of an old robot OP, something of his impact has brushed you.
Occurred to me that that, in our present trouble, we might want that selective, working list of non-current anime for consideration.
Here's its latest form.
