You almost can’t get a more generic list tbh

Definitely some recency bias in here.

And nostalgia bias

Honestly, maybe one of my favourite shows of this season

Indeed, even the largest numbers from Iran already shows that the US and Israel are worse. That’s why I said what I said. You don’t need to cherrypick one event Iran did to make the US and Israel look worse. It looks dishonest if you do and people won’t take it seriously

Yes, I’m not disputing any of that.

took umbrage at me pointing out how from all sides of that war, the most outrageously murderous is the one of the American and Israeli Regimes

As I tried to explain, I didn’t take umbrage at that. Again I am not disputing Israel’s or America’s brutality whatsoever. Nowhere am I saying I want America and Israel to win. In fact, I don’t. Fuck them. I want the Iranians to come out on top. I agree that they’re the lesser evil.

What I took issue with is your false equivalence of comparing decades worth of brutality of the American and Israeli regimes with 1 specific Iranian incident. You don’t need that kind of dishonesty to say that Americans and Israelis are worse.

Please note that I’m not trying to defend Israel or the US at all, I’m not trying to disprove or deny their imperialistic and genocidal actions.

But don’t try to reduce Iran’s brutalities in order to make that point. It cheapens the discussion and makes it easier to ignore your actual point. That’s what you did in the comment I responded to.

The Iranian “Regime” is so much less evil than the American “Regime” and the Israeli “Regime” that it’s not even comparable.

At least make an honest comparison when you say that. Comparing decades of events by US and Israel to one event in Iran as if it’s not a brutal theocratic authoritarian regime, is very dishonest.

That’s not to say the US and Israel should’ve invaded, fuck no, but at least be honest about it.

Generally to my mother tongue, unless it’s more technical (wider support) or clearly machine translated

That would require the people behind the trump phone to actually know what they’re doing.

Sure, but the hardware form factor is a big reason why it doesn’t happen on a large scale with the steam deck

Not even that. Since it’s just a PC, regular consumers can buy them without ever using Steam.

despite how well-received it was among the broader anime community

I haven’t watched it myself, but I get the sense that it’s because of the animation and not much more. I’ve seen plenty glazing about how well-animated it is, but not about story or characters.

I think not wanting to travel with a crystal that nullifies your magic until you find a buyer who knows when or where is a pretty fair reason by itself tbh.

I’m dropping this. Couldn’t even get through the full ep. The shounen-like style direction is such a poor fit

This is incredible

self-consciously edgy and relentlessly brutal.

Yeah, I guess that was the thing I liked in my late teens, but that’s no longer the case. Rewatching it several years back made it feel more like torture porn than anything else at times.

I watched another episode of Mnemosyne no Musume-tachi -

Oh damn, it’s been a while since I’ve seen that one. Also haven’t come across many people that watched it.

Used to be on my favourites for a long time, but at some point in my life I didn’t really vibe with this anime much anymore. Maybe I should give it a rewatch. I should have the DVD somewhere…

They don’t make the cut to what I consider “fan-serivce”

Yeah, that’s why I went with fan-servicey. I couldn’t really think of another word. By many other anime standards, this is nothing. Though, compared to other iyashikei-type anime, it’s more than usual I think

That cleavage picture, for example, is from the POV of the boy and shows why he might be flustered talking with the girl.

I see what you mean, but he didn’t really seem flustered by it. He had no blush, like when she was fixing his shoe, and by the time he looked away she was already standing straight again.

But also, the way it lingered made it feel otherwise to me.

I wonder if it’s just a child’s idea of an adult thing or her mother’s influence.

Probably both, but I reckon the latter part especially, given how Asa almost instantly recognized the pressure Makio was talking about.
