I was going through some of Anno’s older works and found this gem. He also made an Ultraman fan film with him as Ultraman.

I see. Yeah, it would be confusing for everyone who didn’t see. Sorry.

It’s Taittsuu

Twitter would be ツイッター

I’ve seen I Want to Eat Your Pancreas. Kimisui (the short title, because it’s so long lol) kind of feels like getting stabbed in the chest then it’s over. Like what @wjs018@ani.social said, Look Back wasn’t top tier emotional, at least in the same sense as Kimisui.

My friend’s been bugging me to read the manga years ago so now I can say that I “read” it. It was kind of depressing to watch though.

I’m guessing Fujino and Kyoumoto are two parts of the author (Fujimoto) and it’s essentially his response to how a mangaka keeps on going. The manga was released during the Chainsawman hiatus and I’m guessing there are other references to his other past works.

Despite that, I’m still figuring out what Kyoumoto means to him. It’s a silly thing to think about but assuming he’s both Fujino and Kyoumoto, and he uses Fujino to represent the mangaka we know, then “who” is Kyoumoto?

And if anyone hasn’t, definitely read Fujimoto’s other one shot “Goodbye Eri”.

A bit late but happy birthday /c/anime! Honestly, I owe @wjs018@ani.social a lot for revitilizing this community and for making it into what it is today. They’ve been our biggest financial contributor and have also made me aware of some significant issues with the instance in the past. Thank you for your hard work! ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

I never thought of Spirited Away that way but now that you mention it, it does resemble isekai.

Lame. :/ Guess I’m changing my review then.

Kill la Kill

Last time a similar question was asked, I responded with Perfect Blue, The End of Evangelion, and Love & Pop.

So this time, I’m going to suggest Sans Soleil.

Three Days of Happiness which is actually the light novel title. The manga adaptation title is “I sold my life for ten thousand yen per year” but I like the LN title more. I recommend reading the author’s afterword in the LN if you finished the manga.

I also like The Flowers of Evil.

Persona series, maybe. The entire franchise is all about making friends, deepening relationships, and working together to fight monsters.

I saw somebody here recommend Kenshi, so I’m going to recommend RimWorld as well. It’s a colony building game, but it’s kind of anxiety-inducing lol

Maybe a small condenser microphone. The Samson Go is a bit old (not that consumer-grade microphone tech has changed much) but it’s small and just plugs into a laptop with a USB port. There are probably newer small models that do a better job and I’m not aware of its existence.

I suspect a conferencing type product will have the same issue since it’s made to record sound coming from like two feet away from the mic

This is the case with dynamic microphones (the microphones typically used for live events), but condenser microphones are usually very sensitive and will pick up almost every bit of noise with enough gain.

I’ve seen like giant fuzzy mics used on movie sets - should I look for something like that?

These are condenser shotgun microphones. The ones used in movie sets use XLR and need some kind of audio recorder (you’ll be carrying a lot of stuff with you). There are small ones that use 3.5mm connectors though (usually made for cameras). You need to have this pointed at the sound source at all times (hence why you see people manually operating these in a movie set).

Anyway, I recommend looking into handhelds with built-in microphones (like the Zoom H1) so you can move it around easily.

Disclaimer: I’m not an audio professional, just an audio hobbyist who works on student films sometimes. :D

The end credits mention 3DCG and motion capture so you might be right.

Surreal. Never read any of Junji Ito’s works. I’ve only seen his artworks through social media. I don’t like horror much, but let’s see how long I can keep up with this one.

archlinux-2024.09.01-x86_64.iso

I’m about >1hr in so I more or less just completed the tutorial(?). I have to set the game at 200% render scaling because the anti-aliasing is terrible at 100%. The mouth movement is a bit odd and the characters move strangely sometimes. There’s also a lot going on in the UI and it’s not nearly as clean as P3R. There are text boxes that kind of hover around your screen in the city. I’d much prefer it was anchored on the NPCs instead.

Also MC’s face looks funny in some angles.

Other than that, the game looks really good. I think they made the atmosphere quite well. I wasn’t sure I was going to like it at first as I’m not the biggest fan of fantasy but the introduction with the man talking about “fantasy” was interesting enough.

I’ll finish the demo this weekend but I’ll buy and play the game after I play the other Persona games first.

Oh I think I’ve heard of this one. It’s honestly crazy what some people do over a videogame.
