I feel sorry for the people of Iran and Lebanon who are getting bombed by the terrorist states Israel and the US. Another spike in the cost of living for the rest of the world also sucks obviously, but it's nothing compared to having two old evil bastards drop bombs on you with impunity.

Who are Khara even apologising to there? Themselves? I'm loving the swift justice karma doled out to Khara on this one! Although I hope the poor sod who made the blunder didn't lose his job though.

It's looking like the Greens have (hopefully) done it at Gorton and Denton. Beautiful! It's the one result Labour didn't want (because they would have been pretty happy with a Reform win so they could have really leaned in on the "Greens are letting Reform in narrative). If Labour had any sense...

^ Is the reaction to this news one of "malding"? I wouldn't know as the only anime forum/space I use is this one so I've so far seen a total of about 5 reactions to this news and no malding. But you can't really blame people if their response is a little muted to the news of another 90s anime...

Thanks for the thread! Anyway I was interested to read what @sirijo wants from this new series (in the other thread I bumped, sorry about that!). Personally though when I really think about it, if I'm completely honest, I'm not sure I do really want more Evangelion. Don't get me wrong, I'm a...

So the announcement of the new Eva series, what's the forums thoughts? How excited is everyone? Is Yoko Taro a good writer and a good match for Eva?

Worry not I'll make a dedicated Eva thread if someone doesn't beat me to it (please feel free to). And possibly even a dedicated Yoko Taro thread too!

Should we start a dedicated thread for this Eva news? I dislike how the general news thread, which should really be restricted to very minor news stories, tends to swallow up all news stories which means they can be easily missed by people who don't check the thread daily and limits discussion...

Hold the phone! @ilmaestro just came sauntering back casually over 10 says ago and posted in this thread?!

Death Note eps 1-13 or thereabouts. Why did it take me so long to finally get around to watching this? I can't really remember what put me off back in the day (the show is nearly 20 years old already, which is slightly sobering!), I can only think it was my inner contrarian being repelled by...

GTO Eps 27 + 28 Oh man the Tomoko episodes of GTO are always GTO walking its tightrope between of pervy irreverence and warm heartedness at its diciest. On the one hand I love seeing Tomoko becoming a star and how the emphasis is always on empowering her, on the other hand it's pretty...

@BrokenPhoenix The comparison holds because you're essentially arguing in favour of the sort of power politics that led to the world being carved up by a few ultra greedy nations in the 19th century. Your justification is "that's the game of geopolitics we all play", but it's only a game to the...

But not this, there is no justification for it. The US can sanction or use diplomacy, they have the right to do that. What they do absolutely  not have the right to do is kidnap the president and demand the extraction of the country's resources! I thought that would go without saying. Do you...

Something may have had to be done, but not by the US, it has to be up to the people of a country to overthrow their oppressive regimes, not for some imperalist super power to decide for them. American led regime change never ends well, so it seems extremely naive to imagine this time, under the...

I'm sure there could be legitimately interesting things creative people can harness AI for, some people are always interested in blurring the line between human and machine, although even when I see stuff claiming to use it with such intent, it's usually not actually that interesting and it just...

First of all, happy new year AUKN! In that recent Forbes interview with Anno that got a bit of attention for him taking a stance against pandering to the west. He also, and for me much more concerningly, said it's probably not possible to tell the difference between an AI generated script and...

Merry Christmas AUKN! Nothing especially surprising here, but Anno recently has said he doesn't think the international market should be given much thought when producing anime and that it's the marketing people's job to sell it to the west rather than the creator's responsibility to make...

To all the One-Piece haters on here, few in number though you are, I, your long time former comrade and brother in arms, am ashamed and sorry to report that I have fallen. I thought I should finally watch the cursed show to better understand my enemy, to know just how annoying the straw hatted...

The Hunted (1995) This silly and violent romp through 90s Nagoya written and directed by the writer of Pretty Woman, sees Christopher Lambert as the hapless businessman on a trip in Japan who is in the wrong place at the wrong time, or rather the right place at the right time, and after a soul...

I've got back onto GTO again after being sidetracked for a while, I'm still only maybe fifteen or so episodes in but still loving it. It is one of those shows though that when you stop and actually think about what's taking place on screen, it's err the sort of thing you'd imagine Andrew...
