I was going to make a jokey post about how it’s obviously Goku, but once you mentioned Tucker from Fullmetal Alchemist, that pretty much sealed it for me. Tucker is on a whole different level of awful.

I just thought of another "Anime Bad Dad". Ivan Dryar from Fairy Tail. He turns his back on Makarov and tries to kill his son Laxus for the lacrima in his chest.

Got a new set of battery cables for one of my solar batteries the other day but I don't like the connectors on them. The ones that came on the cable are aluminum and the bolt hole is too large for the battery's terminal bolts. As a result the metal around the hole - the part that actually connects with the battery terminal and carries the power - is too thin for my comfort. So I'm replacing the lugs on the cable with ones that are a bit more substantial. Mine are solid copper and larger overall but with a bolt hole of the proper size for the battery's bolts. More importantly the surface area for contact with the battery terminal is much greater. The same power going through more metal means less resistive heating and a cooler connection.

Idk, I actually think it’s kind of nice seeing anime culture, collabs, and events popping up in places you’d never imagine years ago. It’s wild how mainstream it’s become, but in a good way; the reach is bigger, the budgets are bigger, and the variety of shows is bigger. And I’m really not sold on the idea that “the mainstream didn’t like Sora, so NGNL didn’t continue.” That’s just not how it went. No Game No Life got wrapped up in a plagiarism case, and the staff basically admitted wrongdoing. After that, the studio said they were open to exploring other possibilities with the IP, but not continuing the direct work. That’s a huge legal wall. To make a new season, they’d need rights, approvals, and cooperation from the original creator, and with a plagiarism admission on record, that’s a nightmare. It’s not happening, and it has basically zero to do with public opinion. Honestly, the legal side killed NGNL way more than any fan take ever could.

Maybe this has already been covered, but in Southern California, we have: L.A. Anime Expo (LA AX) in DTLA in July, Animé LA in Long Beach, AX Chibi in Ontario, and several smaller events. Plus, most Comic Cons have a lot of Anime content and other Japanese Pop Culture.

Been spending most of my time in Cyberpunk 2077 today, just doing side quests and exploring Night City. I keep getting distracted from the main story because there is always something interesting around every corner. Also finally started Hollow Knight which has been sitting in my backlog forever. So far so good!
