Good for the guy. Wikipedia says it started as short stories in a magazine starting 1986, became books in 1994, games in 2007. So it did take a while, work, and layers of recognition from the magazine readers to the Netflix execs. Showrunners just say skip all that.

No, there were books, then there were games. The games changed some stuff (probably, didn’t read the books didn’t play the games didn’t watch the show), the show changed more from the games.

The books were an original idea, but there were a few of them before it got notable enough. Point is the showrunners aren’t pitching original ideas that immediately shoot to popularity, original shows need time to build up to know if it’s good but networks and publishers can pull the plug anytime they decide it’s not fast enough. You don’t strike gold on the first 3 episodes.

They’ve been shitting out frequent movies on Pokemon, Naruto, One Piece, My Hero Academia over several decades that have always worked rather well with fans in Japan, but had a slower time making it outside; it feels like it’s been maybe a decade since they noticed the current biggest franchises had a real shot worldwide and putting more and more efforts in them. And it’s maybe because the Ghibli and the Shinkai movies in the last 3 decades have shown that people outside Japan do like anime movies when they’re really well done. Demon Slayer isn’t their first go, but maybe it’s the first real “anime movie from some popular manga,” not a big name like Ghibli, that movie people are really noticing. I think that’s where the trend is.

The hint was that the Aeneid is Roman and the Odyssey is Greek. Greece is centuries before the Romans.

The biggest party in the parliament, or a coalition, pick the prime minister. I’m pretty sure this one was from a coalition, and she was the leader of her party, and her party was the bigger of the coalition. Members of parliament do get elected into it by the people, who vote for a person and/or for a list. They didn’t pick her to be leader of the party, but they voted for the people in the party that she recently became leader of.

I don’t understand how but she’s supposedly a conservative.

Far right Trump lover who wants a return to traditional values. You know which tradition she’s talking about, and it’s not a Japanese tradition.

Also, prime minister not president, and not elected.

We should be passing bills that make President Trump’s executive orders permanent.

Can she though

I think Colbert also kept paying his full staff when in covid lockdown even when he was filming it from his bathtub and then his shed or something.

And then there’s also the whole freedom of speech, journalistic freedom thing.

Instructions unclear, ate burgers for 10 years and gained 30kg.

Not the basket D:

You can also add jets to make it shoot down faster.

saying it is against tradition

The fuck? She doesn’t know anything about Japanese traditions, does she?

Depends if we’re spinning this as “you should never attack a black Jewish trans catgirl, even if that person is Hitler” or “Hitler exists therefore I’ll attack anyone who shares a trait I identify with Hitler.”

This headline can be misinterpreted in many ways, first of all being what is the exact question they asked, as with any poll.

99.9% of anime is slice of life in real Japan with mostly real or real-ish names, what are you talking about

Define unwell. He and she are not talking about the same thing, he’s not agreeing with her, he’s muddying the water on what anyone is talking about.

Like “he’s committing genocide, he’s crazy” “but what about cinnamon rolls, that’s crazy too” is not him agreeing, it’s him changing the subject.

Not for the canary cry emoji

No, he’s changing the meaning of “unwell” by comparing what she says about Trump to what Republicans say about Democrats. Which is not that they are actually too old and sick to govern. Well, they do say that and a lot more, but that’s not the implication he’s making here. He’s downplaying how “unwell” Trump is. Because “unwell” is a fucking understatement, and this is him just pushing it further under.

Unfortunately, reporters also couldn’t find a single general who cares that it’s allowed to disobey an unlawful order and that they can overthrow a domestic terrorist.

“Doing things for attention” means attention for yourself. This is for the benefit of something that is not herself. Understand the difference when you say she’s doing it for attention, she is not. “She’s doing it for attention” and “She’s bringing attention to a good cause” are very different sentences.

That country is providing them with air defense missiles, so… (yes, it’s a shit situation)
