-and a lot of deeply-ingrained cultural elitism still needs to be unlearned from our community figureheads and cultural ambassadors.

Honestly, as someone who has been engaged with anime since a very young age, it's periodically exhausting to witness that this culture of elitism and blanket dismissal has been a thing since long before I got here.

Things are better than they used to be, but we still aren't where we should be-

-career at Toei Animation, characterizing it as "enduring work for hire" leading up to The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. Or the Mazinger Z ANN review that likened enjoying it to Stockholm Syndrome.

Not to mention many dismissive and disrespectful entries in The Anime Encyclopedia.

Western anime/otaku journalism has always had a persistent "faux arthouse" mindset problem where anything below a certain perceived artistic threshold is subject to bad faith critique regardless of cultural merit.

I'm reminded of that one ATT article in 2021 that glossed over Mamoru Hosoda's-

In Final Fantasy Tactics if a unit gains too much faith they leave your party to go find God. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you had Beast Tongue and got a monster unit to maximum faith? Of course you haven't. No one has.

Who gave them the right to have the nerve to have the gall to have the audacity

WHY DID THEY GENTRIFY THE AUDACITY LOGO
the regular audacity logo on the left (a waveform between two headphones) and the REAL NEW audacity logo on the right (flat style red headphones, where one of the headphones is a half-circle to fit with the rest of musehub's design Thing. It simultaneously looks extremely generic and like a sperm cell is flying out of a semicircle)

145.) COMPLETE - The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy (Slasher route, all endings)

This one is actually more like two connected routes, but the end result of fantastic. You REALLY need to play one half of it before the other half, though, otherwise it really fucks with the intended pace.

144.) COMPLETE - Scooby-Doo: Moon Monster Madness (rewatch)

Still a really fun Scooby-Doo movie, but I oddly couldn't help but notice how much it relies on awkward silences for comedy.

Still, it's got some nice ambition and design work, and the overall story is solid. It just needed to be tighter.
