Any pronouns. Active ttrpg player, forever GM. I like anime and video games, particularly stuff with giant robots. Omaru Polka is my kamioshii.
Hey Bandai, I have a game proposal: A monster hunter style game set in the Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans universe. You play as the Gundams who were designed to hunt mobile armors. I think that'd be sick.

Thinking about how this anime is about how AI wormed its way into all aspects of everyday life and creative spaces and these two cute girls are the only ones in a big song contest who write their own music. Also ai surveillance is being used to deport people and rig elections and this aired in 2019

Before Mario, Nintendo sold cards to the yakuza. Read the intriguing history of how hanafuda spread throughout Japan, avoiding the wary eye of the Shogun and eventually inspiring the visual style of manga.

I have not watched Jojo since part 4. I read part 5 and I was not a fan (tho admittedly it was that really old and bad translation, so I do need to give it a more fair shot). Part 6 I thought was okay but not my favorite. But man, I am fucking pumped for Steel Ball Run.

If executives were soulless husks purely motivated by profit and made decisions purely based on metrics things would actually be better, but CEOs aren't even that.
