Banjo, Beauty, and Reika fight the Meganoids in a comic show of a throuple versus mind-controlled cyborgs. But things are not always so lighthearted, as the Meganoids suffer from a genuine injustice and Banjo nurses a heavy grudge.

Toppo is there, too.

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.

KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.

His reply was a doozy.

They call it "One More Time" because after playing it you go on to listen to the rest of the album.

Were learning that Tatsuya Nagamine, the director of Heartcatch Precure, and one of Toei's finest creative voices, passed away over the summer...

Its honestly a shock... and so young, at just 54.

Rest in peace Nagamine... thank you for everything 😢

RIP Tatsuya Nagamine. Gone too soon. He has worked on a lot of great projects, but my personal favorite has to be the Dragon Ball Super: Broly movie. It's such a visual spectacle and really one of those movie experiences, that I will never forget. Really sad news..

I think another problem is that this belief can also lead you to reverse the logic. "I don't like this thing, so the creator must be a bad person," or, "I like this thing, so the creator must be a good person," are both pretty dangerous beliefs.

Anyway, just to clarify, I'm just saying that you should be true to yourself. You don't need to lie to yourself about what you enjoyed, or put on a performative show of hating things you know you loved.

Life is complicated, messy & painful enough without short-circuiting your own internal wiring.

This does not mean you should shovel money into the pockets of bigots. That's obviously bad.

But knowing the artist is a bad person does not suddenly disrupt the timestream. What was once good does not magically become bad. You don't need to pretend you never enjoyed things, or performatively deny.

This is less a subtweet, and more of a thought I just want to get out there:

Bad people can make good art.

When a game that people liked turns out to have been made by someone shitty, it doesn't instantly become bad. You don't have to go full Sour Grapes on it. Two things can be true at once.

Daitarn 3 is such a good "put on a random episode and you'll have a good time" show. I rec it to ZZ fans especially (similar humor; Wacky Friend Group) and you get to see a lot of Direct Gundam Predecessors (Daitank; Daitarn Hammer)

apparently the devs themselves got in contact with Bandai to make a game with the gameplay style of their previous game, The Unholy War, for SD Gundam, and Bandai was like "magical girls. take it or leave it" and they took it

What a completely bizarre development cycle for this game. It was made by Toys for Bob! Toys for Bob! The fucking Star Control company! The fucking Pandemonium! company! They had to find a way to get Cutey Honey into this thing!
