Thanks. :)

There's some rumors about my workplace that they are thinking about ending telework. I like my job but I am absolutely going job hunting if they try and drag me back to that god awful office on a regular basis again. I'm extremely, extremely introverted and hated it with a passion, and the work I do absolutely does not require me on the premises 99.9% of the time. I hope it was just a rumor though, I'd hate to think the higher-ups are that stupid as to piss off almost the entire tech department!

So it actually, finally happened. The upcoming RWBY anime has my attention, due in no small part to the names attached.

Ok. Wait. An actual anime or just another season?

Actual anime.

Hmmmm. The trailer makes me think it's a retelling of the first season?

From what I'm hearing, yes.

Ah. Well.....I'm on board then. XD

I've only gone up to Vol 3 for RWBY and didn't bother to check the rest.
But this has my interest again!

Just yesterday, I ordered the DVD series sets of Gosei Sentai Dairanger and Ultraman Tiga from Amazon.

Everyone says that and yet it keeps going. This is as confounding as the near interminability of Supernatural.

Watching all 140 episodes of Futurama on DVD before Hulu starts Futurama X (Series VIII Part 1).

Also switching 007 to NTSC format DVDs.

I recently saw No Time To Die on DVD.

Today I have entered the second decade since my birth.

Enjoyable second decade to you!

Welcome to the Next Decade, pal!

UGHHHHHHH after a long night, I awoke to my Right arm Dislocated on its own.
Work will not be pleased but eff them

gashatfreak is Zi-O confirmed!

Happy Birthday.

Missing the 7th and final Roger Moore 007 DVD. My run resumes with Thunderball. May rewatch No Time To Die when I get to Daniel Craig.

I'm curious to see what Jumanji The Curse Returns does with Welcome To The Jungle and The Next Level. It'll be funny playing the original board with Ruby Roundhouse.

so do I get to be Mirror Zi-O come June

Yes.

Happy Birthday!

Thank you all! It's gonna be a wild ride for the next 10 years.

Oof, I hate it when that happens. Get well soon buddy.

BTW when you said 'dislocate' do you mean a muscle cramp or actual joint-from-socket dislocation?

As my birthday gift to myself, I've started watching the real reason why I binged all five seasons of Symphogear in the first place: Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

I have absolutely no idea what to expect (all I know is that it gets dark because Urobutcher) so I'm going in blind. Wish me luck.

Enjoy it!

I'll let you experience it first before I say anything. But I'd say out of Urobutcher's Anime works, this and Fate/Zero (for the most part) are his best (The Godzilla Trilogy is a subject all it's own, so I'll spare you on that front).

Straight joint-outta-socket. It runs in my family, this muscle dysplasia

Please enjoy. It's one of my favorites, I have some of the Figma and waiting on the Magia Record spin off continuation.

Also I must remind. Homo-ra did nothing wrong.

First off, happy belated birthday.

Secondly, welcome to Church.

Okay I meant to say
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!
in my original message?..(facepalm)

Pokemon Gen IX (Scarlett And Violet) coming out soon.

Thanks for all the birthday messages guys.

Up to episode 8 of Madoka now. I'm scared but I can't look away. I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight, this series is one of the most depressing things I've watched.

Okay, I've just finished Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

Well. That was a wild ride. If Symphogear made me feel new highs, then Madoka went the opposite direction and made me feel really depressed. At least the ending was bittersweet? Kind of?

The only real tragedy for me I got out of this experience was that Madoka retroactively kind of lessened my enjoyment of Kamen Rider Gaim. Like, don't get me wrong I still think it was an amazing show but now I can't help but wonder how much plot Urobuchi recycled from Madoka and toned down for kids.

This is something I hear as the most consistent complaint about Urobuchi, the man recycles his plots like there is no tomorrow. It seems like he can only really write one story. Just my passive observations of his other works though, I've only experienced Gaim myself and I plan to keep it that way quite frankly!

If you want to keep the bittersweet feel of the ending, I suggest not watching the movie then heh. But then again there is another movie coming out, so maybe you should watch it.

Also, if you want to wash that, there's Magia Record. One could argue Magia Record is just another one of Homura's timelines, but from what I've seen, I kinda keep it as its own entity. Separate from the main show. The OG cast are a little too different.

Edit: do hope you won't fall the same pitfalls as I did. Not really an egregious one, but the size of the cast made it hard for me to recognize or remember anyone but the main two. Not even recognizing characters by color worked, since, for example, there are two other magical girls beyond Mami that are yellow. :lol

As someone who's seen both, I can agree about the similarities. However, I also must admit that Gaim might be the better of the two? From the way I see it, because Gaim was a longer series, there was more time to explore and show off the designs (Nothing against Madoka, but the Gaim Riders have more interesting designs, though Madoka has a few that certainly stand out like Mami), really diving into some of the themes presented in Madoka and taking them slightly a step further. I do want to stress that I don't want to go into spoilers for those who've yet to watch either of them.

That said, Madoka has much that it holds over Gaim's Orange. Like the Witches Dimensions and designs go without saying, since animation can easily surpass lie-action, much less Tokusatsu. So Madoka has more visual flair and tone (no need to remind me that this was Evangelion in a Magical Girl dress), but in the end, I have to say both shows are still good (also, not sure if this is true, but supposedly Urobuchi originally planned Madoka's plot for Rider but turned it into a Magical Girl first), and either one would appeal anyone interested in either Anime or Tokusatsu.

I like how spot on this video is.

Interesting. I actually found it quite uplifting.

I really should get around to watching the Madoka movies. And Symphogear!
