We should call it English (traditional) and English (simplified) instead of UK and US

It's hard to put into words the impact this film had on USian viewers. Like Ghost in the Shell -- which came *after* this one -- it helped create the demand for animation directed to an adult audience.

It's overt violence, style, and gore made it clear from the start that "This is not for kids". No doubt USian conservatives latched onto those same qualities for their own moralizing and proselytizing. It was often included as a bullet point in the Satanic Panic.

Even so, Akira helped to establish animation as a *medium*, not just a target audience. And who could deny it? The animation is a technical achievement.

[Thoughts Before Bed]

Suddenly thinking about the early 2000s, driving around a very quiet Hyde Park in Austin at 3AM.

Those were good times, with good people, and good vibes. And I miss that very much.

Feeling inadequate because everyone on Mastodon appears to be an author or a doctor or a rocket scientist?

Follow me and feel better about yourself, for I have the intellect of a clever potato.

I've started a rewatch of a show with an amazing premise, but I forgot that two of the supporting characters (who are supposed to be "good guys") are amazingly terrible jerks.

Even when they turn and are less terrible jerks, they're still terrible jerks.

I saw a Cybertruck parked along side a pickup yesterday, and it's really wierd to see how BIG those are. The pictures make them look like the size of a car.

I want Otter Pops. But JUST the blue ones. If you don't like the blue Otter Pops but like the others, you're welcome to send them all to me.

Thank you for your consideration.
