Thanks to recent bullshit from shit like Anime Matsuri, New Mexico Comic Expo, & every usual chud on Twitter, folks are now relitigating this shit on Reddit, FB, & in the comments of my video, repeating talking points from 7 years ago that we have documentation of being wholly fucking incorrect.

I don't know how it is even the discussion anymore. Vic was innocent and no evidence sufficient enough exist to suggest other wise.

it is 2006. I am warning my friends that Vic Mignogna is unsafe and not to be trusted. it is 2026. I am warning the internet that Vic Mignogna is still unsafe and still not to be trusted. WHEN WILL THIS END?!

This is such a fascinating TV show. Like, you never knew what you were going to get from episode to episode in terms of plot, tone or just straight up genre. It is very watchable, mind you. But there's so much more to it than meets the eye.

You know what series I never hear anyone talking about these days? Keitai Sousakan 7. Yeah, it’s about anthopomorphized cell phones from nearly 20 years ago. It’s silly, but there was a great list of directors, too (including Miike Takashi, Oshii Mamoru, and Kaneko Shusuke).

"We've come up with this groundbreaking new Gundam scenario where a young boy has to pilot a Gundam left to him by his grandfather against an army of ancient machines left buried beneath Mycenae and resurrected by a purple mad scientist..."

"Witch From Mercury is about how we felt kids today don't understand conventional war so capitalism is the enemy. Oop, scratch that, sponsors were NOT happy. The true evil is civil servants who work to stop monopolies!"

More and more I feel like there's at least one executive in Bandai/Sunrise who is desperate to make Gundam about anything other than the things Gundam is generally about. Warmongers? Oppression? Environmental collapse? Corporate capture of the global war machine? Nah, Aliens! Gotta be aliens.

I've been using the expression "It looks good enough for radio," for most of my life, and now I'm just wondering if back in the days of silent films someone used to say "sounds good enough for the Movies."

IIRC, Katsushi Murakami was the one who pushed for Machine Robo to have the same level of engineering and quality as larger deluxe toys but in a small, affordable package that kids could buy with pocket money. He basically created a whole new paradigm for toys.

Another interesting race tonight is MO-8 (D) where construction worker Chris Reichard is beating former State Senator Frank Barnitz 55-45. Reichard is running on a progressive platform that includes abolishing ICE. This district is also in very red SE Missouri.
