The biggest funny / sad thing about all of this is that the ORIGINAL manga is a poorly drawn, utterly basic bit of juvenile genius that became explosively popular via an S-Tier redraw. One Punch Man needs crap or decadence-- nothing in between.
I can see a corpo meetings over subsequent seasons of One-Punch Man playing out as:
"People fell in love with the first season of One-Punch Man for being gorgeous, with almost decadent amounts of sakuga and expert direction by one a celebrated director.
... Obviously we need to correct that."

[Review] Despite branded or larger anime-centric social media accounts desperately trying to claim otherwise, One Punch Man season three has no hype, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.

It's often the years that *break* Rider that help it the most in the long run.
The evil Riders of Ryuki. The comedy of Den-O. And absolutely the musical, meditative, location-based Hibiki.

Hibiki is a really nice, relaxed, sweet show that puts you into a wonderfully-realised slice of an ongoing world with a large human cast (principally focused on hot dads on monster-fighting camping trips), and a shifted focus to the POV character being a kid being mentored by the main Rider (1/2)
Without spoiling anything necessarily - can you explain a bit about the show’s strengths (and why it seems like Hibiki has so many detractors)?

Was at the 50th Anniversary Expo in Nagoya last week, and there were big crowds and healthy merchandise sales. Not sure what the future holds, but Super Sentai remains in the hearts of millions-- young and old.

My take would be, "there is a version of American media seem exclusively as Westerns / John Wayne and rock / Elvis, which is about as accurate as seeing Japan as samurai or nerdy anime."
But the medium of anime CAN reveal lots of Japanese culture, given you go broadly in genres.

Anime does not give you any insight or knowledge of Japanese society and culture. No more than watching Rick and Morty gives you an idea of what America is like.
Anime Japan and Actual Japan are not the same thing.

I do not know how to talk about TAROMAN. It was relentless in its jokes and scale. Boundless energy.
Programmers at @discotekmedia.bsky.social, I am pleading with you to look at this thing.
Thank you to the staff at PARCO White for helping me into the exhibit. 🙇♂️

Clearly the greatest voice actor to ever do it. And was still spry when I met her this summer.
I will hold her enthusiastically growling「素晴らしい」to me in my heart as long as I live.

Generally: if they don't get out the phone, you don't get out the phone.
You can easily thrive in Japan with a half dozen phrases and some grace. You will run into racism, but it's rare, and given how some tourists act, nearly warranted.
Japanese hospitality is overall incredible. Be chill.

Tourists to Japan are always like "I'll just use my phone to translate and talk with people" and so far every person I've talked to in Japanese service industry/nightlife has said they find this the most annoying thing ever

Japanese racism and bullying has such a specific stench to it.
The desire to shame the "other" is so pronounced in some.

I haven't seen "Dragon Ball Z: Burn!! Hot Battle - Fierce Battle - Super Fierce Battle" in so long that it didn't dawn on me that Kuririn's karaoke pick was "TSUBASA O KUDASAI." 🤭

Wow, everyone! The TokuSHOUTsu channel just uploaded all the available episodes of Kamen Rider Zeztz. I’m not sure why, but maybe they are allowed to upload new episodes every four weeks. Either way, I’m super happy right now!

Saw "One Battle After Another" wedged amongst strangers yesterday. A very good way to experience it. Demands a big screen and a lack of distraction access.
Been sorta levitating since seeing it.
