When he was a kid he specialised in front crawl, but as Haru only swims free tm Rin took the butterfly for the medley and has clearly just stuck with it.

so I just finished lain
that's got to be the most 1990s anime I've ever seen
it was pretty good, but the ending was kind of feh

'GOD': here's the plan to 3rd impact everyone with the earth's magnetic field
LAIN: lol nope

I wonder how the various superstitions about the Year 2000 played exactly in 80's and 90's pop culture...

I ask that because having grown in it, I don't have much perspective on the issue.

girls und lan party

[Oxymoron]

Yeah, by the way : with the introduction of Japanese vehicles into the game, there is apparently going to be an (official) "Girls und Panzer" voicepack for the tank crews. I don't know if it's going to be restricted to only the Japanese vehicles or if all nationalities will be able to have it.

[phongn]

That's a pretty spot-on parallel. Are there any references to it in the show or..?
I didn't know about the air-spirits bit of that story, I thought it ended with her just dying.

Man, her witch form!

[Infinity Biscuit]

Ugh gg why

why would you randomly change dialogue in titan to be sexist

is this revenge for me not waiting long enough for you

[Galvanized]

What did they change?

[Infinity Biscuit]

I forget the exact lines but the gist was "We need to deal with her" changed to "we have to bitchslap that skank"

[evilsoup]

that's glorious

[>:3]

Well

I mean

this is gg we're talking about

[Oxymoron]

what about it ?

GG, I mean ?

Because a lot of torrents for anime I see got their mark on it.

[Infinity Biscuit]

GG used to be pretty bad about putting in problematic shit in their translations (they play fast and loose in general with translations to avoid the shitty near-literal stuff a lot of fansubbers do) but they seemed to have gotten past that

Titan in general is pretty good about being genderblind as a show and so having shit like this put in just upsets me

[Oxymoron]

Yeah, having followed your tumblr a bit, I got what was upsetting you there.

Still, is that a commonplace occurence with their work, or just the kind of things that occur here and there ,

Because I watched Girls Und panzer through Horrible Subs, and I was pretty pissed when I learned that I missed whole segments of episodes that way (the katyusha song segment with the russian-themed school at least)

[Oxymoron]

But to be a merchant

[evilsoup]
