  • I’m a huge fan of isekai - anime where the protagonist is transported to another world to become a hero, or at least live a more important life than the one he had in the “real world”

    Examples include:

    • Overlord
    • Saga of Tanya the Evil
    • GATE
    • Mushoku Tensei
    • Ascension of a Bookworm
    • The Hero is Overpowered but Overly Cautious
    • Konosuba
    • So I’m a Spider, So What?
    • Re: Zero
    • How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom

    There are lots of others, too. Give a few of them a watch and maybe you find out if you like them. A lot of people don’t and think isekai are slop, and that’s fine. I can’t get enough of them.


  • I absolutely adore Stand Alone Complex, 2nd Gig, and Solid State Society. I also own the light novels, which are nearly identical to the anime, but it seems that the SAC anime came first, and the light novels were written afterwards as a compliment to the anime.

    I can recognize some similarity in the art style of this new GitS and Black Magic M-66, which I also own, but I didn’t know that SAC was such a departure from Shirow’s manga.

    That said I prefer SAC exactly as it is, and I love the light novels. I like how it takes itself seriously and Motoko is presented as a strong, aggressive bombshell of a woman. I’ll probably skip this adaptation because it just leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I just don’t think it holds up to the adaptation which I love and enjoy.













  • I like most types of electronica. Trance, techno, house, bounce, phonk, and even some dubstep. I still find new songs on youtube that I enjoy, even in my 40’s. Growing up my dad listened to a lot of psychedelic rock. I don’t really listen to rock anymore but I do recognize a lot of rock artists like dick dale, iron butterfly, and many others who created the psychedelic sound that progressed into techno and trance. I still hear a hint of miserlou in a lot of modern electronica it has a very recognizable guitar riff.
