Contrast Hideaki Anno and Yoshiyuki Tomino.

Both are depressed, but created some amazing stuff regardless (Gunbuster/Evangelion and Gundam, respectively).

Because they are creators, not parasites.

Why do you keep replying to yourself?

I think this was a Naruto plot.

Someone said "I'll kill your entire family."

So he did.

Absolutely everyone who was even slightly related, including all his cousins.

Are there really people lamenting the lack of roided out monsters these days? Are they smarts? Or marks / little jimmies?

Mostly fanatics about the podcast of that piece of shit Jim Cornette, who thinks wrestling should never have evolved past about 1990. They go on and on about how "no one looks believable anymore" and that today's wrestlers "look like they'd sell for a light gust of wind."

One of the greatest managers in the history of the business, yes, but there's a reason it's called the Cult of Cornette.

That and he might also be an actual cuckold--there are rumors, however unproven, that he loves to record video of wrestlers having sex with his (Cornette's) wife. Anthony Carelli (Santino Marella) is even on video telling Cornette to his face that "I know what you did," and it doesn't sound like it was in character.

This is one reason I'm so glad for Diamond Dallas Page.

Thanks to his revolutionary yoga programs, almost every pro wrestler no longer feels the need to do trenbolone, Anavar or the like to look good and heal from muscle injuries quicker, thus greatly extending careers and lifespans.

It sounds silly, but Page has saved countless lives with it. Today, if you're a pro wrestler, on TV or otherwise, and you're NOT doing DDP Yoga, you're a fucking idiot.

Some wrestlers do still take 'roids, such as "The Machine" Brian Cage, but today's pro wrestling is the cleanest it's ever been, largely thanks to him.

And yet, some very very LOUD people will still bitch and moan about wrestlers today not being as jacked as they were in the '80s. Yeah, God forbid they want to live past 45.

The most front-loaded movie of all time?

Boy, imagine someone saying THAT 5-10 years ago.

Ex-leftist here. It's true, trust is earned. It's why we doubt handshakes here.

And he hasn't earned shit.

looks up that word

Alegria: "any of certain herbs of the genus Amaranthus the red juice of which is sometimes used locally as a cosmetic."

...Did I miss something? I don't get it. Are you talking about Amouranth?

Are we talking about the Dragon Maid author or the Jobless Reincarnation author?

Because I've never heard of this, but I won't be surprised by either one.

Seriously, Jobless Reincarnation (Mushoku Tensei) was so, so good...and yet I cannot recommend it to people, because of all the overtones. Same thing with Bakemonogatari and its related series, which I also enjoyed.

(EDIT: It's the Dragon Maid guy.)

Yes, but how many get creepy scenes where they're manipulated by big-breasted women while looking scared out of their gourds?

It's why I didn't like Dragon Maid. Changing dub lines was just icing on the cake.

God, that explains that crap with Shota.

Including that the character was named Shota.

I swear, in the coming years, we're going to learn some sad, creepy shit about the guy behind Jobless Reincarnation, too...

So was the guy behind Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro!.

Known only as Nanashi (774), his old work can still be found online if you know where to look.

Holy shit.

I was never much of a fan of hers--I just happened to know the above info.

Suddenly I want to check out more of her stuff!

Thanks for linking me this!

Even Weird Al's parody isn't safe.

His parody "Word Crimes" uses the word "spastic" in one line, and he was later told that word is considered a slur in Europe (yeah, I know), and as a result, he changes the line when performing the song in concert.

The line remains on the official YouTube upload, however.

Interesting. She may be anti-woke on that basis alone.

Given what you just told me, I'll be cautiously optimistic about her.

I still have no interest in this actual show, however. There are too many underutilized villains that could use a day in the sun--I'd love to see an adaptation of Secret Six, specifically Giganta and her relationship with Ryan Choi, the then-current Atom, for instance. That was the most interesting Giganta had been in decades.

GATE was a very good anime that deserved more than the one season it got, but no.

Just a doorway into another world here. Noun, not title.

You're making me want to watch that again, though.

I don't know if she's anti-woke, but I've looked into everything I can in both that identity and her previous one--real name included--and I can't find anything to suggest that she's woke at all.

Could just be hiding to infiltrate, but who knows.

I know for a fact that she's from Texas, though.
