Being a bisexual emperor must be the most stressful shit in the world. You go to the inner palace and all your wives are scheming. You go to the outer court and all the male concubines that you promoted to viziers through nepotism are fighting. Your wife just poisoned your favorite twink eunuch. There’s no peace

Having a "stupider people have done this" attitude about the things you want to do can open so many doors

RIP to the legend who is Kenji Ohba.

I finally caved and watched the first episode of Infinite Gavan (after ignoring it for sentai pouting reasons) and it didn’t hook me in the same way sentai did, or the same way the original Gavan did.

Now I’ve started, I will probably carry on because it’s toku and I want to support the genre as a whole. But I think it’s time for a sentai rewatch, because nothing is going to fill that hole for me.

Also, a small transliteration irk - Gavan is named after French actor Jean Gabin. The Japanese reads “gya-ba-n”. Toei international distributes it as Gabin.

Why do we insist on keeping the v?
