Someone in the comments there said the same author called SD Gundam “perfect from start to finish” like a month ago but I couldn’t find the article where he said it. I basically agree with all his picks though, a lot of anime was needlessly bowdlerised and made (more) insipid at the altar of “localisation”.

Right, like a capybara

I’ve had good success buying second hand on eBay, but I bet you could also do worse than getting used parts off Gumtree, look for anyone selling a broken or outdated computer - or in the free section - and spend some time going through a pile of ewaste, shucking all the drives, and then running tests on them.

A shame the famous Mongolian tolerance did not extend to unconquered peoples, any of whom would balk at this depiction.

It wasn’t always so… My childhood largely featured an arms race of increasingly ridiculous squirt guns that culminated in some dickhead pissing in a backpack water tank and blasting everyone with a double-barreled multi-nozzled monstrosity.

I used to have really bad taste in friends.

Cheers, will give it a go

It’s funny because I’ve cut things off with people and didn’t do the symbolic knife gift, and they keep bugging me. And then the one time I accidentally leave a knife behind at a friend’s, suddenly there’s a definite distance between us and things die off organically. Interesting coincidence, can definitely see how this superstition came to be.

In my family there’s a tradition that if you give a gift of a blade, you have to make the recipient pay a penny for it. Might be related somehow.

about one sixth higher in some areas

That’s not insignificant.

We didn’t even get to fifty. How are dudes in their thirties supposed to make their whole personality about US history a thousand years from now? There’s not gonna be enough.

In the early 21st century, it was normal to enjoy losing the class war, the environment, and endless reboots and sequels on TV. People saw it as normal to be ruled by morally twisted oligarchs with unfettered political power and no vision for the future.

Subs or dubs? Doesn’t matter, I finish the series and then go read the original manga because I’m impatient
