Their opinion is their opinion, whatever, but they’re re-writing history here. TRON was Disney’s highest-grossing live action film in 5 years, a decent hit that made a lot from merchandise and arcades. Home video was also very successful for TRON, and Legacy didn’t flop, it made $400 million.

Pretty confused by how TRON became a big-budget movie franchise. Was it a bit hit when it came out? No. Did it become a big hit on video/TV? Also no. Do people have fond nostalgic memories of it? Eh kinda but not really. Was it secretly great and critically acclaimed? No again

Anyway I keep saying it what we absolutely need to return to in anime is fever dream magical girlfriend mecha shows with the aesthetic of someone getting really high, listening to some classic 90s trance and drawing the result

On the other side of things the sword one seems to go from strength to strength because it does give far more of a shit about history so that's very good

The boat ones seem to be existing, the one true gun one from what I've experienced might as well not have the anthropomorphic element at all but the horse one commits entirely to the idea that horses are deeply unserious animals

Thinking about how in a survival of the fittest situation we have gone from a vast selection of anime about a large number of things represented as girls to only a few strong survivors of which one, the horse one, still keeps closest to the idea

Came to a late-night realization that Betterman is the most PSP anime to have never received a UMD release

What I find so strange about middle aged people now is that many are completely unable to process that things they liked as kids were made for kids. They don’t have to magical think them into being “good” by adult standards. They did their job admirably, let them rest.

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.

the reason White Base never got any Balls to deploy is because Bright decided that How Fucking Annoying Kai Shiden Would Be About "EHEHEHEHEHE... BALLS" outweighed any benefit having the mobile suit would provide

With about 400 seats, the Shinjuku Moulin Rouge venue hosted witty satire, lyrical plays, and dazzling dance performances. It also produced stars such as Ashita Matsuko, often described as Japan's first idol.

Supervillains were invented because it quickly turned out when writing stories that they often work better when they contain a fucking antagonist.

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.
