Yeah the setup with her keeping him prisoner in that house until he satisfies her demands is a pretty obvious reference

Been watching this show and it still tells a great story despite the absolutely atrocious cgi. It's an impressive feat when you fail to get the thing the medium is named after, animation, completely wrong yet still manage to tell a compelling story.

Hazamada is fucking stupid.

English Yukako is every bit as batshit as Japanese Yukako, this is a gureito dub.
You know...Yukako is bat shit as fuck, but she's dedicated, intelligent, can cook, can knit and is attractive. Just don't fucking cheat on her and you have good relationship material.
Fuck I love the Yukako eps...

"I couldn't give two shits about the guy!" That woman is channeling every woman I contact on OKCupid. Yukako's VA speaks Japanese really well. That's actually a really good translation for this scene. "Open up dat mouth, cuz here comes da knowledge" Why is this dub so good?

Unicorn Gundam being as low as it is on that list will always just invalidate that list for me. No way in fuck is it worse than Casshern Sins.

I might have to see Unicorn in full sometime down the line on Netflix

Edit: Once I've caught up on everything pertaining to it, to be sure. My s.o. loves the heck out of Gundam and most things to do with mechas, so this was gonna happen either way

From Demarco's Ask.fm:

"If things turn out good, would you consider adding SSSS.Gridman on the Toonami bunch?"

"If it turns out better than Darling in the Franxx, maybe!"

Also a statement about the whole LoL advertising after being asked that people thought they were "selling out":

"I mean, Toonami runs on as money. We have to make it. So by that POV we "sold out" a long time ago. I know the LoL folks are genuine, longtime Toonami fans and thought it would be cool, and we decided why not give it a try? Doesn't mean it will be a regular thing. Either way, it helps keep the lights on. Toonami is fan forward, but it's a business, not a charity."

Oddly accurate.

The next few JoJo episodes are fantastic. Episode 10 is a must watch for everyone though. I will move heaven and earth to make sure everyone in ToonamiERA watches that.

Surprised people expected otherwise. I just feel icky advertising LoL after everything that happened. It is like watching a Bryan Singer movie.

Don't know how much press the Riot games stuff got outside of core gaming circles. It's certainly possible they didn't know.

Heck some people didn't know in this thread about it.

Kotaku wrote an article about it here and I recommend reading the whole thing. Cecilia D'Anastasio wrote a great piece on how pervasive the problem was from the top down in riot games and it made my blood boil a little.

Some 'highlights' for a taste.

A 2015 e-mail about the hiring disparity written by a female employee and sent to Kotaku reads, "I've heard women described as 'aggressive' and 'too ambitious' during hiring panels rather than focus on their career skills or aptitude. I recall a lot of phrases that have given me pause, and I've NEVER seen these sorts of phrases applied to male hires: 'She interrupted me a lot during the phone interview,' 'she's annoying,"' or 'we don't want people in this role who are ambitious because they'll want to move out of it quickly.'" The e-mailer added that the problem gets deeper when "our hiring panels are, just by the sheer result of the ratio of men to women at Riot, mostly straight/white/male."

"It's more difficult to be a direct female than a direct man," she said. "I try really hard to be that on-paper Rioter, live up to those values. . . I observe male Rioters acting that way and being pretty successful, promoted to leadership positions, treated as leaders. I don't see female Rioters able to be leaders in that kind of way." She added that roughly two-thirds of her performance feedback is not about her work, but her personality.

Three months into her time at the company, one former Rioter was feeling frustrated by her manager's poor performance, she said. She decided to pick up her manager's slack. (He was later demoted.) Abiding by Riot's motto, "Stay hungry," she stepped up to become the team's de facto leader. She mentored new hires. She led meetings. She updated work processes and led new programs' rollout. At the same time, she says, she did her own job. She tells Kotaku that a manager said she was slated for the promotion, which a former colleague corroborated. Then, one day, at a party, she says a Riot superior came on to her. When she evaded him, she says, things changed for her at work. Although she was already doing her manager's job, "a man who probably had three years less experience than me," ended up getting that promotion. That man was a close friend of the Riot superior who hit on her.

She was fired a week later.

When you watch the commercials and see a largely white male audience playing the game it really gets to be a thorn up your ass. A damn shame too since they hire pretty talented animators for the projects all to send the wrong message they should be running away from.

Because this is still like one of the most fascinating gifs, let alone pieces of animation, I have ever seen. I think I even saw the scene where this came from and I was still not sure what I was looking at yet I was still dazzled none-the-less.

I still think about this movement.

...wait, Araki also brought that archetype into mainstream?
