How would you drink from this cup?

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.

    Crunchyroll is Investigating Situation After Voice Actor Claims Company Opened His Mail, Gave Away Contents | ANN

    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.

  • 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).

  • I'm a bit confused why the 2024 awards award a 2020 movie!?

    The Dolby Cinema Japan Awards aim to recognize the creators and works that have been produced using Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos technologies in order to contribute to the international development of Japan's content industry.

    I guess it's not yearly awards. Or it's the first one?

  • Now that I know the date, this is the migration blog post

    I used content exporters to export the Joomla pages and Wordpress pages and blog posts into markdown content files for hugo.

    Unfortunately, it's not more specific than "content exporter into markdown". But who knows if those specific ones would still be available today. :)

    So I would suggest to use any Markdown exporter that's available now.

  • I really liked Uncle from another world too, but I wouldn't list it to that question. I guess because it's more of a comedy than with a spanning story and depth or development.

    Scrolling through the comments to remember some of them,

    • Mushoku Tensei - great - the first two seasons have exceptional world building, story telling, contrasting, and developments; not everything is great, but a lot is; for me, last two seasons fell off a bit
    • Grimgar - very good - very unique, great world and characters and relationship between them
    • Ascendance of a Bookworm - very good
    • The Eminence in Shadow - very good - exceptional satire
    • The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady - very good until the ending, with exceptional visuals and vibrancy
    • Life with an Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated into a Total Fantasy Knockout - very good - great comedy with a gender bend/swap

    /edit: Found two more from my list of good/decent non-harem isekais I replied to some no longer existing lemmy post.

  • It has unique visuals, but what really sets it apart is the great - what do I even call it - significance through realism? It has a lot of depth and is very different. It has my definite recommendation too.

    Ninja Kamui (2024) - From Very Good to Mediocre/Bad

    Episode one has great action scenes and great peaceful-family-life with foreshadowing introduction - in great production quality. To the point where I can point to that first episode as great examples of action and mood-setting life-like family life in anime.

    Unfortunately, it quickly goes downhill - for me at least - and by episodes 6 and 8 onwards becomes a CGI mech story with silly over-the-top villains and characters.

    I was so excited and hopeful after episode one. Unfortunate.

    I sat through the rest of it, which was at times worthwhile, but I skipped through the end which was predictable and more of the same in a style I didn't like.

    I can certainly recommend checking episode 1 out for its production quality.

    Have you watched it? How did you find it?

    Deafness Explored in Anime - A Sign of Affection (2024) and A Silent Voice (2016)

    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 a
