Grabbing some footage from the CSM movie for EXPLOSIONS!, saw like ten other explosions on the way to finding the scene that I could easily also use.

I always forget about Japan's asinine TV licensing scheme until I want to go watch a news feature on the NHK's website. How do people live like this?

vtuber culture has spoiled me: I'm always surprised somehow that any given stream VOD doesn't have a comment dutifully recording timestamps.

"prohibition in the united states" has this time lapse map that switches from folksy banjo music to ominous industrial sci-fi for the 15 seconds when alcohol was illegal nationwide

I'm forgetting how novel it felt. Like *now* I can say "wait, the filmmaking of Suzumiya Haruhi inspired you to watch Death Note? And you *didn't* give up?" but c'mon, where else in 2009 were you gonna get scenes like "I take a potato chip…AND EAT IT!!!!" and lethal journaling montages?

New Misa is a really good sculpt though; a shame I don't actually like Death Note much.
It was one of the first anime I tried (because 2009), and to its credit, I remember it managing to be both unintentionally funny and legitimately compelling episode-to-episode for at least the first parts

He actually drew them himself, Saito loves dolls this much. The process was:
-Saito designs the puppets
-Professional troupe makes the physical props
-Saito storyboards
-Troupe performs as instructed
-Saito animates it with the live action references

Reminds me, a buddy of mine commissions me to translate documents about Japanese military aviation from time to time, and I probably ought to share some of them. The J/APG-1 radar set had some surprising teething pains
