What do you think about mind-bending, experimental shows? What about eccentric, genius-type characters? Do they get too confusing or condescending, or do they ramp up your curiosity?

Which are examples for "weird done well"?

While I recommend reading the whole article, I'm also going to place a summary copied from tumblr (og post here) under a cut.

How Crunchyroll is ruining its subtitles, how we got here, and why it matters. )

Considering the average Dreamwidth user probably remembers when Crunchyroll was a piracy site, as well as the golden age of fansubbing, I'm wondering what people's preferred solution for monopolization, and subsequent decrease in quality, of official anime streaming is. Should we focus our efforts more on pressuring Crunchyroll (and streaming services at large) to fix its subtitles, or on re-invigorating and suporting fansub groups and fansub culture?

Happy Halloween, Anime fans

Along with Vampire Princess Miyu and Ghost Sweeper Mikami, I've been watching some Shaman King and Ajazukin Cha Cha, which stars an adorable magic apprentice named Cha Cha and her mishaps when conjuring anything, dealing with monsters and vampires at times.

The dubbed version aired on Cartoon Network in another country, not sure if it ever did in the US, but there are some episodes uploaded at YouTube if interested.

So Happy Halloween and all that, I'm going back to my own thing.

What makes for a memorable TV antagonist? Does any kind of redemption arc play into this?

Six Feet Under
Laced with irony and dark situational humor, the show approaches the subject of death through the eyes of the Fisher family.

Another surprise challenge. When you see this, write a 3-sentence story for one or more of the following prompts:

- remember when we met
- now it's too dark to shine
- I guess we tempted fate

You can use the prompt with the exact wording, or in a way where it's clear you've drawn inspiration from it.

(Prompts from Chasing Ghosts by Against the Current.)

Celebrating Halloween my way

Been catching up on Vampire Princess Miyu as a way to go with the Halloween thing without doing too much about it. Its still haunting, and it has become one of my all-time favorites. I'm hoping to finally finish the series and the OAV which I also watched way back then on VHS.

(In fact, that was the first time I began watching it.)

I'm also watching episodes of Ghost Sweeper Mikami with the same goal of finishing it up as well.

Anyone here also watching Horror/Supernatural themed Anime this month?

Good morning, afternoon, and evening!

We're doing some database and other light server maintenance this weekend (upgrading the version of MySQL we use in particular, but also probably doing some CDN work.)

I expect all of this to be pretty invisible except for some small "couple of minute" blips as we switch between machines, but there's a chance you will notice something untoward. I'll keep an eye on comments as per usual.

Ta for now!
