Ice Weasel has been around for awhile now. Name makes a lot more sense than every random tech startup that sounds like a nonsense word even a small child would cringe to utter.

Is there a legal or technical reason for not having 4:3 episodes in HD? I would have bought this primarily for those if they were included. (I know, I'm being the stereotypical anime fan looking for an excuse to not buy the thing.)

Is there an HD scan of Dagger of Kamui? Or in the works? Or would that be an upscale job? Would love to see it again in the highest possible quality.

If I could find an apartment for $1100 right now it'd be the happiest day of my life. I can't even find 1BR for $1600 where I live.

The bit about the beard is embarrassing. I get wanting to keep things light from time to time, but I don't expect that kind of fluff from NPR, especially during times such as these.

HBO Max was the best streaming service by a huge margin for awhile. Then there was a sharp decline, even more it switched to "MAX." Countless classics have been purged and replaced with some of the most bottom of the barrel slop.

This a great encapsulation of my preference in anime on a visual level. Used to be common in the 90s, but almost nothing has looked like this since. It's like everyone forgot how to use color once things went digital.

And tech companies are obviously not the only nefarious forces out there in the world, but it's harder and harder to argue that they aren't still overwhelmingly nefarious.

I think the argument is that online communication is becoming the default for young people, and how that's effecting the development of children. Pros and cons to everything, but it's hard to imagine that losing in-person socialization is a good thing on the whole.

I felt similarly about Now and Then, Here and There, and Green Legend Ran. Definitely underrated, though I can understand why they're not for everyone.

I unironically love Legend of the Crystals. If the first anime titles I ever watched, and honestly, I find very little to complain about. It's kind of weird, and the art direction, music, and overall animation are kind of amazing. I don't think it's just the nostalgia.
