"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

2007 Misa is straight out of the margins of a 14 year old girl's algebra notes and, for that reason, rules

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

I've been following the Artemis program for years of course, but I looked up at the Moon last night as I was going to bed and thought "goddamn, we're really preparing to send four people around that thing in a week!"
