I like the Summer Hikaru Died dub, it's well acted, but it does feel like a missed opportunity not to go for Appalachian accents--the specific regional drawl was clearly a very important of the process for the Japanese cast, and someplace like West Virginia feels like an appropriate equivalent.

So, today I'm announcing a new book project... and doing a call for papers: crpgbook.wordpress.com/2025/10/31/t...
It's an anthology of video game history outside the usual US perspective - an accessible & exciting panorama of different realities - and I'll pay 300 USD per article.
Please share :)

Honestly this series and the largely rapturous reactions to it (from viewers who maybe haven't seen a lot of stories on this subject matter before) gave me strong DDLC flashbacks
Takopi’s Original Sin – Series Review
The series graphically depicts how abuse and neglect can break the minds of children, but it offers very little in the way of meaningful insight or solutions.

Glad they decided to put Reze's arc off in a movie; to me it's the nadir of part one (for 4 arcs out of 4) going "okay but what if, a woman baited Denji with the promise of sexual favors. And then betrayed him. 😲" just fucking over and over again. After Reze it finally finds other shit to do.

Damn, a show in the year of our lord 2025 providing a case study on how wlw ships end up in Straight People shows more often than mlm ones.
Granted, it's only a non-threatening hot fantasy when none of the girls are ACTUAL lesbians. If they were, they wouldn't be sexually available to a dude--

A lot of people didn't go back to Necronomico after they fixed the AI subtitles, and that's a shame because it's shockingly good. Also gay.
But really. If you haven't watched Summer Hikaru Died yet, what are you doing.
