Gatchaman Crowds

A little MESS-y (the ending really), but I generally like what it’s scratching at with its commentary on social media. Even when the characters are being woefully naive about the situation, you can piece together why. Especially given the time it was made.

From anime ending songs starting in the few final seconds of the episode to the rise and fall of the Yandere archtype, Lucas and Chris take a look at the anime trends of yesteryear.

Someone asked me why aren't folks getting laid off in the anime journalism community after seeing so many headlines about the game journalism.

Please keep sharing if you can - we're still 80% of the way from our goal, and we're still a long way away from the insurance companies exiting arbitration.

Blokees Galaxy Kickback riding on Cyberverse Skullcruncher

“So what’s Kickback up to these days?”

“Oh, he’s just crockin’ about”

It’s pretty nice to have some rad folks in your corner, especially these days!

Well, at least it’s been a long time since then! Glad to be around other folks these days!

That’s all pretty thoughtful in my book!

Especially #2. I have an experience with a person or two who’d get unreasonably upset when I shared some good news.

NEVER GIVE UP

Have a lot of mixed feelings on the mostly modern push towards extremely 1:1 adaptations so decided to get on a podium and soapbox about it

Game/anime research types, you should definitely put your words in

Incredible work by @minnmax.com & @giantbomb.bsky.social. Wow.

Now that we have a managing editor & PR/Marketing manager so I'm not having to do everything & burning out and now knowing I might either be out for 2 weeks or 4 months in March depending on how the surgery and biopsy goes...

More than ever we could use the help!

Please consider making a donation!

We're at almost $800 - amazing. Thank you all so much.

Please keep sharing the link to the gofundme.

Every share, and every dollar helps getting the car repaired as soon as possible.
