    "Global Kids & Young Adults Unit" huh. Way to make me feel old, ***holes laugh_laughing.gif
    Also speaks to the fact that for as long as it's been around and it's popularity, American companies still consider anime "kid's stuff"

      That's the demo they sell to.  Easy to get kids to nag their parents to buy them something.  Convincing the parents without getting the kids' help is a bit harder.  Same dynamic as breakfast cereal.  Or did you think they put cartoon characters on that brightly-colored box and toys inside for the adults?

      Sorry to see Crunchy caught up in this acquisition.  AT&T is slime.  They've been screwing their DSL customers for years with "unlimited" and "up to" bandwidth claims, their customer service is anything but, and lately they've even been hawking their old LTE hardware as "G5".  80 Billion-with-a-B dollars to buy (and probably ruin) media companies like Time Warner, but no money to upgrade their network infrastructure?

    While I’ve had limited exposure to the franchise, he’s undeniably one of anime’s iconic figures. Sad news indeed.

      81 is a good age to die. Not that dying is a good thing. 81 is a good long life.

      Man I know the feeling.  All I want to do from about November to March is sleep.  Finding the energy to deal with all the year-end holidays and such is a yearly struggle.  Maybe I was a bear or a squirrel in a previous life.  🤔

    It’s almost here 😁 Though I’ll have to wait until I get off work tonight to watch.

      You know one year I thought my birthday would be on Friday the 13th and freaked out... Real kicker is my birthday is the 15th

  9. 🎊 Congrats on top score for my MCU quiz. It would take a perfect score now to take that spot.

      Was afraid I made it a bit too hard for most. I feel a little better now 😁

  13. Can’t say that any of this season’s baseball  anime are really appealing to me, so using an image from Taisho Baseball Girls in my sig instead

  14. A week to go before the new anime season (though they're a couple earlier starters). Wish they'd hurry up and announce which series will be on which sites.

      What did you think of this season overall?

    2. Ohayotaku

      Ohayotaku

      There were some good series, butnot as many as some past seasons. Favorites for me were Shield Hero, My Roommate is a Cat & Love is War. Mob’s last episode is tomorrow and I still need to finish Dororo & Kemurikusa.

  15. After the holiday it’s back to work for 1 day before the weekend. Gonna be hard to be motivated though.

      Can't they just give you a day off? 🙃

      Management took the day off, so they need bodies in the office to take care of anything that comes up. 

      Though to be fair I did take off Monday because decided to take the roadtrip last weekend to beat the holiday traffic.

  16. animals that hibernate through the winter are definitely on to something -_-zzz

  17. Anime girls make cuter Easter Bunnies (just saying)

  18. Apparently tornadoes did some pretty serious damage North of me last night. Had no idea till I turned on the news this morning. Fortunately doesn’t sound luke many injuries

      Hope you're doing okay, friend ☹️

      Like I said, I wasn’t even aware of it. I’ve been lucky that those sort of things are generally north of where I live. Feel for the people caught up in it though. So far only 1 fatality but say it will take days to fully evaluate the damage.

      Are there more people here from Ohio or Kansas? HanaApril was from Kansas I think but she's not active here anymore unfortunately. I also remember that there was someone else from Ohio wasn't there? Glad to see that it wasn't in your area though

       

  19. Better start getting acquainted with Isekai Quartet and it’s related series as it’s apparently been confirmed on the japanese Twitter page

      Isekai quartet is just good tbh. Worth a watch regardless 😜

      Image result for isekai quartet funny

      But now that I’ve seen one of the shows it’s about, it will be 10 times funnier 

  20. Congrats on taking top score on my MCU quiz 🥇

      Awe, thanks! 

  21. Crunchyroll put up a special episode of School (Gakuen) Babysitters (a surprisingly cute & sweet series from last year) yesterday. The main story focusing on mid-terms was adorable, but it was the short Snow White reimagining at the end that really made me smile since I totally ship Ryuji & tsundere girl

  22. Currently under an ice storm warning. Started raining around 10 last night and hasn't stopped, currently around freezing. Reports of tree branches & power lines down throughout the area. I have yet to set foot outside my door & won't until there's at least some daylight.

      Yeah, supposedly the same here but I think our hurricane weeded out the weaker limbs and trees. They made school a two hour delay but I think thst was jumping the gun. Not a bit of ice that I can see.

      Some pine limbs took out part of the fence in the back yard but no damage to the house or car. Roads aren’t bad, just the deck & sidewalk

  23. Didn’t get to watch anime over the weekend, because I was on a roadtrip, so I still need to catch up on spring season anime. Fortunately the new seasons always start out slow.

      It was, but after a couple days away, I’m glad to get back home.

      Finished up AoT, Bokuben & got current on Demon Slayer last night. Still need to finish OPM, Sarazanmai & Cinderella Nine.

  24. Fine, I admit it. I'm jealous of a ball of goo.

  25. Good lord, how does Magical Girls Specs Op Asuka not warrant a content advisory?! It makes Goblin Slayer look like a Hallmark movie.
