the pope agrees that frictionless isekai is too common now and you need some rent-lowering classics like oreimo or made in abyss to really carry the medium
Some inspiring words on cinema in the streaming era from the Pope.
Yes, THAT Pope.

tetsuya mizuguchi truly, earnestly believes, with his whole heart and whole mind, that generic vocal trance from 2003 has the power to awaken humanity's shared consciousness and guide us to universal peace. The strength of his conviction is so powerful that it might actually cause this to be true

There are Chobits everywhere for those with eyes to see
it's always funny to learn about old TV shows like this one, or I Dream of Jeanie, whose premise is nearly identical to a 2000's ecchi anime.

i've really enjoyed the noclip2 channel because it has essentially recreated old gb quicklooks. sitting with an indie game for 40 minutes, one guy has played some of it and is showing the other guy coming to it fresh, for games that i would have never heard about otherwise

As I've been saying: real money to random reward pipelines should always be classified as gambling. Doesn't matter if we're talking digital or physical, it should be considered gambling and heavily regulated accordingly. Can't sell for anyone under 18, can't be advertised in most places, etc.
New research: spending money on physical #CardPacks is also linked to problem gambling. 🎰
We answer an FAQ: enough about video game #LootBoxes; what about Pokémon / Magic: The Gathering cards? 🃏💳
We surveyed ≈2,000 card game players in English-speaking Western countries: doi.org/10.1037/adb0....

Crunchyroll is destroying its subtitles for no good reason | Daiz.moe
With the Fall 2025 anime season, Crunchyroll demonstrates zero respect for anime as a medium as the presentation quality of its subtitles reach an all-time low.
