Still not convincing to not just watch Saber Marionette instead

Characters deliberately designed with very broad personality archetypes so they can be inserted into any improvised format -- now including 1/12 PVC figures

Touhou characters are like commedia dell'arte stock characters. What does that mean? It's why, if you know even the broadest strokes of the characters, you can slot them into things this way and have it make perfect sense:

This was 4 years before he'd start composing the Slayers themes. Structurally it's like the pretty standard kayokyoku songs he'd been writing for artists in the late 80s, but amazingly all the elements of the Slayers music sound are in place (extremely baked MV too)

No notes. By 2003 he was lowering the bass in the mix, but the bassline is as punchy as ever

This is a pretty close second. It has a similar polyrhythm and loping bassline, but with horns scaled back -- and replaced with synthesized sitar and bagpipes

I can't think of anything to post, so I'm going to start a thread of my favorite Hidetoshi Sato(佐藤英敏) compositions. I'll start with the one that's always been my undisputed favorite since I first heard it in the early 00s

I know someone who keeps LED lights up on their garage all year and cycles through preprogrammed color schemes to match every holiday

Do the guys who advocate this sort of thing smirkingly every five-ish years realize that making atrocities legal for the US military also makes them legal for any enemy who captures a US soldier or civilian in the future?

Oh man, they’re good

Maybe it's a quirk of the genre, like all the litfic authors who forgo quotation marks for dialog

Basic Daimyo got assessed at 10,000 koku and never progressed past that and had to ask the Shogun for assistance quelling their ikko-ikki in a way that was very cringe

Early 21st century - Soldiers bypass enemy combatants and target enemy civilians exclusively

19th century - Soldiers recruited by a nation-state fight soldiers of another
Early 20th century - Soldiers fight other soldiers and also target enemy industry and infrastructure; civilians sometimes caught in crossfire
Late 20th century - Poor countries' guerrillas fight rich countries' soldiers

Also I forget the context, but I once heard a historian say the one thing normal people can do to help historians of the future is write personal accounts. Reason being that the lack of them up until like the 19th century means a lot of what's asserted about premodern daily life is guesswork

You'd think people would realize that periodization is BS when they look back the experience of segueing from the 00s to the 10s to the 20s and how it felt seamless in the moment with the macro differences only becoming apparent years out from the transitions

People love storytelling and narratives. As I understand it history on a technical level is more like thousands of ongoing projects of finding and reading things and then contributing a thread of papers about them, the goal being the perpetuation of those threads not any kind of narrative
