1-Yeah, I was debating putting an asterisk there at the end to say ‘except the literal prepubescent child’ but I was already starting to ramble and I had some errands to run so I just left it as was. Also you’d probably have some trouble finding someone who thought that kid’s dad was attractive (for several reasons) but regardless, THE VAST MAJORITY of characters have at least one moment where you can’t help but gaze, awestruck at their beauty.
2-Oh they absolutely knew what they were doing with that dog and his hoodie 😂
3-Here’s what the mad doctor (actually the MC’s dad) looked like before he disguised himself and went into hiding: Image

I wanna through Kill la Kill’s hat into that ring. Does it deserve the TOP spot? No, but I like the origin story of where the power comes from.
Aliens come to Earth looking for food back in prehistoric times, if they go about it the usual way (feeding directly off the energy/electricity of a living brain) then the body usually dies very quickly BUT, if they feed off this energy from the outside via skin-to-skin contact then they have a host that lasts longer than 5 minutes. So they choose the most advanced species (us) and after setting up some intentionally-vague groundwork, they go into hibernation until humanity has progressed far enough for a worldwide monopoly on clothing to become a reality, even converting several humans to work with them directly.
Practically all the power in the show comes from/through the school uniforms which have various amounts of these silent, patient, alien beings as part of their fabric. Only real exception is the power of friendship but this is anime we’re talking about, that’s always going to win. Speaking of winning, the main villain of this show should’ve won like 3-4 times over by the time it’s all said and done. Oh well, “La Vie est Drôle” after all

Completely agree, I’m personally sick of the Medieval times being viewed as “the Dark Ages” where everything was objectively worse. Not only is it from a modern, first-world perspective as you’ve pointed out, but it’s also extremely Euro- and Christian-centric and ignores that most of the rest of the world experienced at least a couple ‘Golden Ages’ during the same time. Hell, even IN Europe, the Islamic states were often (though not always) better off than a lot of their Catholic counterparts. I think a large part of the modern view of the Medieval times being ‘backward’ come from two main sources: 1-propoganda that came during/immediately after the various Crusades/Iberian Reconquista (not to mention the subsequent discovery of the Americas); 2-the Bubonic Plague which, without a doubt, WAS awful for everyone involved, but for whatever reason we tend to forget that it was only a relatively short amount of time (roughly one decade towards the start of the time period during the reign of the Byzantine Emperor Justinian, and another decade roughly 800 years later) within the much larger time frame of a whole millennium

Battle of Stamford Bridge 2? Or would it be 3 now since that game felt like a rematch of the battle

I mean, by your very own definition, people DID vote for Gore. It wouldn’t have been an overwhelming victory by any means, but they did indeed vote for him
