- Comment on My grandma passed away and my aunt sent me a selfie of her, my uncle, and my deceased grandma in the hospital bed, is it normal that I'm put off by this? 4 weeks ago:
“Victorian Death Photos” are a thing, and were probably more socially acceptable then than in present-day society
- Comment on What are your top three recommendations for someone new to anime? 4 weeks ago:
If someone has never really seen any anime before, I think Mushishi is a good one to recommend to people. It doesn’t contain any of the less-palatable anime tropes, can be enjoyed by any age group, and is just overall really chill and interesting. It’s also episodic, so if they watch 2 or 3 episodes and decide it’s not for them, they still get a full story without missing out on anything.

Little Witch Academia is what got me into anime, good pick.
- Comment on I'm leaving the US for good, anything I should do before I leave? 4 weeks ago:
I assumed for closure, to put it behind you after you leave.
- Comment on Best game ever? 4 weeks ago:
For me it’s tied between Dark Souls (2011) and Universal Paperclips (2017)
- Comment on How would world politics be like if the top 100 countries (in terms of military strength) all had their own nuclear arsenals? 4 weeks ago:
Vasily Arkhipov in 1962 and Stanislav Petrov in 1983 are usually credited as single-handedly preventing nuclear launches. If it wasn’t for them, perhaps people wouldn’t think that nuclear weapons are such a strong deterrent.

I’m never sure where to draw the line with metroidvanias. Does Dark Souls count as metroidvania? or Link’s Awakening? Cave Story?

Hibike! Euphonium was directed by Ishihara Tatsuya, who has also done a bunch of other must-watch anime.

Mushishi is awesome and is one thing that I think you can recommend to any age group-- 5 years old or 105 years old.
