Towards the end they introduce a female character with an actual character arc not revolving around romance or motherhood and you can tell they're so proud of themselves.

Yeah, excluding Swedish-speakers from the nation would mean giving up the Moomins to the Swedes, which is unthinkable.

Love the body horror in Abs Bats.

From what I've talked with European service workers from big tourist cities, they tend to think you guys are alright. The Ugly American stereotype seems more alive in the US than abroad.

Doesn't that criticism apply to pretty much every CRPG with romances?

Though he played Hannibal Lecter for three seasons, which is at least in the same ballpark.

His music is intentionally funny, though. Murder Ballads has two outright comedy tracks and ends on a studio sing-along of an 80s Dylan track.

What happens to orc souls after death?

She senses something about Ranko and is appalled by her tomboyishness, so she spends time with her teaching her proper feminine behavior.

Fandom likes to soften her, but she really is a hard conservative who absolutely intends to fulfill the contract if Ranma were to, say, like women's clothes.

She made a contract with Genma upon him leaving with their son, stating that if Genma failed to raise him as a proper man, she'd make them commit seppuku. Whenever she visits, Ranma stays in girl form and pretends to be Akane's cousin Ranko.

You missed Ranma's TERF mom.

Just putting some of the classics and the modern ones on Netflix where people can easily watch them would probably solve a lot of issues.

Way to read the room in 1945.

Yeah, and clearly coming up with good original material is hard. I can't say this latest episode was lesser for not having the stupid "Ranma accidentally gropes Akane and gets hit" gags from the old anime.

On the script level, they really drive home how unwilling modern anime adaptations are to stray from the manga. That UY episode where Lum leaves for a bit is nothing without the subtle anime-original scene where Ataru and Shinobu realize their romance is over.

Wish DC stopped doing the weird mean-spirited shit in their adult-oriented comics. Sure, Suicide Squad: Blaze, if there's two people who'd lead every major hero on the planet into a suicidal frontal attack on a bad guy who already got Superman, it's definitely Batman and Wonder Woman.

I don't mean this in like a gushing shipping way. It kinda unbalances the movie when you have to remind yourself Glinda's supposed to be in love with Fiyero.

I liked Šejić's Harleen enough to get it in hardcover. Harley Quinn's origin story's obviously going to be dark, but it's told with compassion so it feels like a tragedy rather than nihilism for 15-year-olds, like so many allegedly mature comics.
