Not sure if it's 'anime' per-se, but Netflix just did castlevania?

It's about as anime as Avatar (American writer, American producers, American studio), so I suppose we could enjoy that lovely argument about "style" versus "national origin" all over again if we really want.  I would politely wish to head it off by noting that it may not be entirely germane or productive to do so, however, given how rarely it ends well.

Still, thanks for the heads-up.  I mean, I don't have Netflix and I never really followed the Castlevania games, but I do like keeping abreast of this sort of stuff in general.  It looks like they already ordered a second season, too. ^_^

Huh, I had no idea the Castlevania TV series was an American production. I even witnessed a brief sub-vs-dub debate regarding it and assumed it was anime.

Had to do some online training today for work, and every single thing focused on the Heavy Shit.

One film clip after another of traffic accidents involving trucks. Still images of other accidents. Stories of death, including one ever-so-lovely story about a driver in my own company rolling his truck over, getting pinned, and dying as EMTs tried to free him. Followed the whole thing up with a somewhat grim video about sex trafficking.

I need some happy stuff, stat.

"I am picking up whispers in the Immaterium. I can't yet tell what they're saying, but there is definitely some sort of astropathic message coming from that binary system."

Let's try Ciphers (Astropathic Sign) first.

All I know is that plenty of people here in the States believe that the world is roughly 6,000 years old and God created it as-is in exactly six normal days.


Back to the Flat-Earther stuff, I sincerely hope that it's a publicity shock stunt.

Y'know, sometimes I can almost (ALMOST) forgive a creationist or a moon landing hoaxer for their views. The evidence for those things, while plentiful and simple to understand, is difficult to directly observe for the average person. Evolution works relatively slowly over multiple generations, and obviously we can't just fly every lunatic to the moon and let them see it for themselves. They have to rely more on the observations other people make.

Flat-Eartherism is just plain nuts. Goddammit, humanity. We should have stamped out that particular breed of wrongness centuries ago.

Another set of pay increases at work. Small ones, but it'll average out to maybe an extra $20 per week, or $80 a month.
