I can see it - a face full of tea
oh, I see, those round edges are for the nose
I am a skeleton
In Overlord, there's a scene where the skeleton protagonist eats a cookie and catches the crumbles crumbling out of his jaw with his hand below. :D
Do you drink from the middle, with tea running down to the left and of your mouth?
Or do you rotate it and drink from one of those bumps, feeling like you're drinking straight from a teapot or tea pourer, in an uncomfortable off angle?
And Yet the Town Moves (2010) is very good. The first half of the season is great. A frantic, wild comedy. The second half(?) felt to me like it lost its core, and went on side tangents [and style] that I didn't enjoy.
The video I linked went into that as well. The clickbait title says it's a federal crime. Later on, when they actually go into it, they show and quote the law, and given that the package was sent to Crunchyroll, despite being addressed to a person at Crunchyroll, may be fine and depends on how the court interprets it.
Ah, nice, thank you. I looked at other nitter instances but those were down or did not work.
Man, why is Twitter X so popular. I hate the closed platform, unordered tweets and replies, no contexts on tweets, segmented content and texts. Otherwise I would have explored and added more links and context.
Fans created fan content and sent it addressed to voice actor David Wald to Crunchyroll. Instead of forwarding, they opened the package and put the stuff on a freebies table for employees to take.
Dear friends: if you sent me anything care of Funimation or Crunchyroll in the last 5 years, I apologize, I didn’t get it. I learned yesterday that @Crunchyroll opened my private mail, threw away your letters, and passed out any included items to their staff.
Dear fellow workers at @Crunchyroll - below is a photo of the complete contents of one of the packages addressed to me that was opened and distributed to employees. If you ended up in possession of any of it, I would very much like it returned to me.
According to his tweets, he received two items that were still on the freebies table.
A follow-up tweet of his voices further, broader dissatisfaction:
Me, thinking: “…Jeez, it’s a good thing I didn’t tell them about the gay discrimination. Or the medical discrimination. Or the union busting. Or the continuous culture of fear. Or the hostile workplace environment, or…”
I can't navigate or see Twitter unfortunately, but apparently; The disappointed fans commented as well. And other voice actors also vented some of their frustrations in interacting with Crunchyroll.
I kept the images under the urls as they were. They're probably still under wp_content :D That way it's not too hard to migrate.
I don't think I implemented anything for image galleries though.
I remember being quite disappointed and disliking it. Checking my stored rating and review note, I did put it under 8/10 though, which confuses me quite a bit now. Maybe it wasn't as bad as I remember.
Still, it certainly didn't reach the exceptional levels of the series and side/prequel movie (Eternity and the Auto Memory Doll).
A Sign of Affection (2024) is a very good romance series. (jp Yubisaki to Renren)
A Silent Voice (2016) is a great movie. (jp Eiga Koe no Katachi)
Both explore deafness in a very meaningful way.
Have you watched them? What were your experiences and thoughts on it?
My personal assessment:
A Sign of Affection starts great. Positive, vibrant, and meaningful and with depth, exploring deafness. At some point, I felt like it's kind of the same throughout (stylistically and the kind of things happening), but it never lost its continuous progression in fitting pace or its quality at least.
I've wanted to rewatch A Silent Voice for a while, which also has deafness as a central theme, and I remember it being great - albeit quite different to the aforementioned romance. It has more struggling themes, and is a movie rather than a series.
Both had very interesting, insightful, and respectful depictions of deafness, which certainly elevated them into something very good and unique.
