I'm a cringe millennial (35) not-too-pretentious cinephile and gunpla builder (also a Forteana and shipwreck dork)
I'm "that guy who talks in movie quotes" but it's 70s Hong Kong Godzilla dubs

Let us even concede that point as “unavoidable.”
If we think of it as a business strategy similar to Twin Peaks or The X-Files, then that’s fine. The laser disc release will apparently include ten minutes of re-animation, and there will even be a Kadokawa-produced anime film.

As expected, I cannot help but write something about the final episode of the TV anime Evangelion.
Let us, for the moment, set aside the fact that most of the mysteries and settings teased out bit by bit were never explained.

Even though white-collar jobs are generally safer and better-paid than blue collar jobs, corporate culture is still infuriating because it shows the hollowness of the facade. You're a "knowledge worker". You're in the "information economy". And yet the boss/employee relation is just as irrational.
