@Dekafox, no DTP, but they DO have LILY Cat

For me, it's "chocolate therapy".

Tonight dough owns my soul.

Stupid, delicious Ben & Jerry's.

Ahh. I remember watching Bubblegum Crisis 2020 or whatever.

Next you'll say they have Dominion Tank Police and L.I.L.Y.Cat

Bubblegum Crisis, going by several shouts down.

BGC?

Enjoy the fudgy icing of this Hostess Cup Cake!

harlock is on tubi as well. not dubbed though

Blugh, the english dub of BGC is atrocious.

I might need to update my software, or they face regional limitations, cause I found no evidence of either.

DUDE! Starcom and COPS are on Tubi too!

Spiffy! The english dub of Bubblegum Crisis on Tubi. It's gotten so hard to find these oldies on modern streaming services.

And now I know and now I know and now I know that you can hear me, know that you can hear me, know that you can hear me.

Oh, oh, people can you hear me? People can you hear me? People can you hear me?

Let me go-o-o-o!

Galileo Galileo!

Very very fright-ning me!

*thunder and lightning*

Ah, ah, ah!

Already did. It didn't take long.

Count Zero?

Oh boy, here we go.

Or do Japan's cultural values vary depending on exactly who you're trying to shut down?

Could it be that, perhaps, these different cultural values might lead to a different approach seeming appropriate?

Hm. Back when we were arguing about the Legends comic, I seem to recall being repeatedly told that Japan had different cultural values than the US (and therefore anyone who had a problem with anything at all was wrong to voice that opinion ever).

Plus, as much as I hate to admit it, every single anime character is built to suit the audience's tastes so they buy more merch/do other things that allow $$$ to flow in the production committees direction, so the authenticity is certainly not for representation's sake.

Both those anime air at midnight and are aimed at a very specific audience in a whole other media landscape. Major projects have press releases about almost everything, and there are groups just waiting to pat anybody on the back for doing what they want (GLAAD, HRC, etc)

It's funny that a friggin' anime about zombie idols and an anime about a school of anthropomorphic animals can have really positive trans characters WITHOUT a press release about their inclusion in the series prior to the episodes airing or having the creators announcing it on social media and patting themselves on the back for doing a thing.

Vegan meat needs bacon

vegan meat must taste delicious. they're grass-fed and regularly exercised....

Vegans are better than kids if you don't talk to them. They'll keep the lawn trimmed anyway.

Do you want vegans? Because that's how you get vegans.

Hook up your sprinkler system to a canister of healthy organic carrot-juice. The kids won't be able to get off your lawn fast enough.

Just use the hose.

Ask bing. It'll be a FAR more effective answer.

Google, how do I get those durned kids off my lawn?

Please ignore.  Old man here apparently doesn't know the difference between the "Search" field and the "Shoutbox" field.

Also doesn't know how to delete from the shoutbox

Huhn. Penny arcade was right, the division 2 is literally 3 dollars...

Oh, Wicked Cool Toys got the Halo toy license. This is a big year for Jazwares

iTunes/Apple TV has the complete Cowboy Bebop series for just $5!

The Samsung Galaxy B-TOOM!

business is booming.

SAmsung has you covered. Exploding phones.

Modern problems require modern solutions.

Japan seems to have a tradition of murder things where cellphones facilitate the killing instead. Like King's Game and Doubt.

Or there's just conveniently no reception, or all of their phones are dead at the same time. Or they're just stupid and forget about them.

Now the slasher villain has to go and knock over the nearest cell tower before butchering horny teenagers.

Think of all the horror and mystery movies that involve the bad guys cutting the phone line. Now think about how many people don't even have a land line to cut anymore.
