do you remember when for like 2 weeks you could prominently see the date a post was made on tumblr on every post. and then for some reason they were like nawwwwwww hide that shit again, only show the most recent reblogger's time of reblogging at the top. let's just have a mystery roulette of whether this is from 2013 or yesterday
the dad kept buying it tho. #ally
I've been thinking for a bit about whether Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu even really benefits from being an anime rather than live action. Of course it appeals more to me because I love this medium and am delighted the diversity of audiences manga and anime can be made for. But on the surface, this is overwhelmingly people sitting in rooms and talking, so there isn't much you couldn't capture just as well with a camera.
The thought is still forming but there was one moment where I was watching Shin's performance as he mimes the actions of a character drinking and 'The Treachery of Images' fell into my head. I'm not watching film of a person who is convincingly creating the illusion of a real action through gesture alone. I'm watching drawings that artists did of a person performing that illusion. An illusion of an illusion. My monkey brain filled in the missing cup as easily and completely as if I were watching someone drinking in front of the room i'm sitting in.
I don't know what to do with this thought yet but what an enjoyable sense of wonder it has provoked in me tonight.
ps- also the propaganda effectiveness of putting something niche or arguably difficult to get into into manga/anime format cannot be overstated. It is a great way to get people (like me) who would never seek out something a bit hard to understand and old fashioned without this kind of accessible packaging.
season 2 ending spoilers
Not finished yet- mid episode 11. I just fucking love the trope when a building or object or something shows up in the afterlife once it's destroyed in the living world. This vision of the afterlife is all just very dear. I'm grateful to have found and get to enjoy media that's scratching spots I didn't know have been itching. Bon's story has spoken to me deeply. The feeling of one's life and world gone, only in memory, people lost but ever present, oneself lost and frozen. The chance to pick up where you left off and straighten things out. The possibility to start again or keep going. The suffering of being trapped and then being freed as if it were never hard to begin with. ps- CRYING SO MUCH
Woman: would you still Love me If i was a Worm?
Her wife: *through gritted teeth, Seething cause she's actually a Worm who Had herself transformed into a human Woman at great Personal cost so she could be with her wife Ariel Style" yes honey. Of course i would.
About halfway through watching Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju and this is just exactly the pace of show I've been wanting. The word that keeps coming to mind about the writing, presentation, and subject matter is "sophisticated". it's not flashy but the reality of the characters and story is consistently present and continuously changes and develops with time. A story about storytellers. I find myself wrapped up in the flow, ready to keep hearing what happens next.
Easy recommendation, especially if you'd like a change of pace from fantasy or teenage protagonists.

they killed him for this
Reading Peace Maker and Minagawa Sensei keeps showing off his ability to draw these distorted wide angle perspective scenes
They look great, though for some reason i keep noticing the flex and I can't tell if it's just that there are more of them than most manga. I'm not sure I'm hooked by the story yet but I've had one genuinely enjoyable moment so far and the art is impressive. The titular gun and its holster and belt are particularly beautifully drawn:
After reading further and then skimming even further ahead, have to say if it doesn't hook you in the first few chapters I don't think what comes after really shakes things up or adds more compelling depth. The characters, setting, and plot all lack something that grabs me but I really respect the quality and effort in the artwork.
Every time I see someone take a picture of their fit on campus with their phone leaning against a bench or tree or whatever shit I remember this gif and honestly consider doing exactly this every time I see it
part of me wants to start a running tally of every fuckup i've made from the last two weeks in particular but its too much work to keep track. farcical levels of misunderstanding/misreading/forgetting, pinball game-esque comedy of errors ass life
