they probably will regardless

there are effects all throughout the pipeline because of use of outsourcing studios that are in other countries. some productions just won't be able to handle it and choose to delay/cancel, or could have production quality degrade

If RE:ZERO S2 gets delayed again I swear to god...

Grouchio, it is better for people to stay home and separated in pandemics, particular if they would be working in crowded office settings.

Yes you are right. It is also better for at least some good shows to still air in the Summer. That is a hope I cling onto.

Grouchio's list includes End of Evangelion, but not Neon Genesis Evangelion.

I know enough of the whole plot, and have watched enough clips and scenes, that I feel that a full watch would add nothing.

(And as an aside, the chronology is by the year I watched them, not the year they came out)

How do you live like this?

I have, since middle school, imposed a strict time limitation on how much anime I can watch per day, compared to my other hobbies, to my work, or to real life. I have cowarded out of many anime on occasion because I felt that it would conflict with my internal schedule, or that I felt that I did not have enough time to marathon it in, say, a weekend or a week. So I would dither on my backlog as the days passed, until I no longer had the will to watch them. I have lived like this for the past 11 years.

Going back to Evangelion, I felt that, knowing enough about the series, warranted I not putting it on my internal schedule. I have other anime to watch, other things to do.

I'm pretty sure these mind goblins date back to when I sat through Naruto and Bleach, and after a few years coming to the conclusion that the stories I was invested in were a colossal waste of my time and a waste of my passion. So from then on I would prioritize and cherry pick what I would watch (mostly action/adventure/comedy), because I had the impression that I had very little time alloted for this.

Jesus christ is my dedication to my pursuits half-assed. How do I fix this mind goblin?

# ¿ Apr 20, 2020 20:05

Grouchio: Aug 31, 2014

The other part of my mind goblins, that I forgot to mention, is that I suffer anxiety from wanting to watch something good, then going 'aw geez can I handle this after hyping myself for so long?'

Varinn posted:

a lot of the lovely isekai, tho, tends to be about going to a world that confirms everything you believed already. the kinds of people you don't like? they're actual evil villains here, so it's okay to beat the poo poo out of them to help people. you don't have to learn new things, the stuff you already know makes you perfect here. the world doesn't help the protagonist change for the better, the protagonist goes into a world that is changed to be perfect for them. its why, i think, people conflate this with power fantasy, even though a lot of good quality stuff is also power fantasy.

Re Zero I feel really turns this on its head throughout the first season, cause our subaru constantly eats poo poo from his assumptions about isekai backfiring and has to learn from them and improve as a character to move anywhere towards his goals; something I really appreciate about that series. Plus most of the cast can beat him in a fight easily and his powers involve groundhog day loops he has no control over, through constant agony and death, which sucks. And we're just getting started, with the best cliffhanger of all time.

I too am talking out of my rear end.

I may have commented during the actual watching that she did the sleeve pull too soon, aside from batting right. It should be just before returning the bat to ready stance, but that was left out anyway.

I didn't realize I was kinda into baseball until I realized I knew Ichiro's full routine.

what does sustainable war even mean

Before the French Revolution most wars in history were not very drawn out conflicts, since most of them ended in decisive battles that knocked one of the sides out of the war, if not out of existence. Marathon, Hastings, Poltava, Manzikert to name a few. With few exceptions most powers could only field small professional or mercenary armies that were un-replenishable in the event of a major defeat.

This all changed with the French Revolution, in which an entire nation's population could be mobilized for war; whether it for combat or wartime industry. By World War I, knockout battles were considered a relic of the past, now replaced by trench warfare involving millions of conscripted reserves. That, I believe, is sustainable warfare.

I pray that either 1) Japan ends its nation-wide lockdown before July or 2) Someone convinces the Diet to make anime an essential business.
Provided that the Diet ever gets poo poo done, that is.

That's not what I meant to say. I hope the amount of cases drops enough by July that some non-essential businesses can reopen (with social distancing), so that the summer season isn't delayed as well. I don't want all the voice actors or studios to go out of business/become destitute.

How about instead of wishing that people would be put in bodily peril so you can watch your Japanese cartoons, you hope that the anime studios develop effective work from home workflows to continue bringing the content safely.

Dear thread: I should have just said that. I was skeptical if they would even consider that. I also didn't get that anime = essential = more deaths. My apologies for being so tone-deaf everyone.

If you must know, most of my youth was spent watching the anime that I thought would be either popular or acclaimed enough that I could have in-person discussions on, before discord was a thing.
