Hedge poet. I watch anime & am often accused of reading. 'Now praise those names on tombs of steel engraved | And toll this rotting country's countless bells.' Read my work: https://thaliarchus.itch.io/cosmic-warlord-kinbright

I haven’t heard of any plans, at least.

I wonder whether the way it was made means that there would be less to be gained from a remastering effort?

Good night, and good luck.

Vega update: Vega cycling at high speed due to a mass power breakdown.

(Does this bike count as a mamachari? That's the sort of background joke the show would make.)

Gag that works in any language.

'Kirakuni's the son of the sister of someone who attends the same cultural centre...

...as the wife of the CEO of a company my father's company trades with. Apparently.'

Had seen just enough omiai paraphernalia before to get this joke visually ahead of the script delivering it.

Aiko and Susumu look at each other, each carrying formal omiai photograph holders.

It's not flashy, just a higher quotient of shots with lots of energy from tilting, focus pulls, internal framing and so on.

A focus pull shot of Altair with one of his assistants, seen from below.

Aiko accesses her workplace via a secure door in a back corridor. Tilted shot.

Another tilted shot, the scientist's reaction set against bright static screens.

Aiko and Susumu work to manually re-start the lift, framed by a ladder or grille out of focus in the foreground.

Dendoh 21 is comparatively more animated and quietly well boarded.

The drink itself comes from [disputed Balkan territory redacted] in this case, but yes, you're not wrong.

I remember my first two rounds with the vaccine, during the mass NHS vaccinations, I had no side-effects, then the third NHS jab gave me side-effects. So it seems pretty haphazard! But all minor enough to shrug off, and much better than having the disease.

Bit of rakia should fix that in a jiffy.

Let's say it's multicausal.

Ohh, this explains why it's Fresh specifically that they're parodying.

I'm not playing the game as defensively as I should, because I'm chatting away at the same time.

Today's stream! Had forgotten that Boss Borot is meant to be destroyed every episode and so costs almost nothing to repair.
