  • I love isekai anime but there are lots: the old ‘technical’ isekais that just involve going to another world, then there are reincarnation isekais, videogame isekais (& subsub genre of otome villainesses isekais), alt-history isekais, reverse isekais, death game isekais, … (Etc) there can be a ton of overlap where they sometimes borrow tropes and themes or are influenced by one another. Each has a history and a sort of genealogy, but there all isekai. The nuances, or even the very existence, of the subgenres can often be lost on casual viewers.

    It’s sorta like that. Less well defined, and often relational. Borrowing sounds and ideas, or tones and themes. Blues rock is rock than uses elements of blues music, like like how blues jazz is to regular jazz. It’s an independent dimension from the main genre in that case, like punk rock… I wonder if punk jazz is a thing? Punk classical? Hmm…

    Each subgenre has it’s own themes, history, and identity. For example, give the punk rock wiki a read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punk_rock





  • I always thought the “how dare you fuck my partner” instead of “how dare my partner fuck someone else” was really weird…

    … Story time!

    When I was about 14 I was with my second partner (17 or 18 then) in the back of a car with one of their friends. My partner started getting all touchy then leaned forward and shook their ass between the two of us, and they grabbed and put their friend’s hand on their butt. I thought it was weird but didn’t react much in the moment, just kinda withdrew. Later they said they were disappointed that I didn’t get mad at their friend and get possessive / tell the friend to stop. Like… What?! YOU moved THEIR hand and continued to encourage them; why on earth would I be mad at THEM?

    Unsurprisingly they took my virginity while cheating on me and left (: learned a lot of valuable lessons.

    But yeah, partners are responsible for their half of the monogamous contract: if they break it, I hardly give any shits about third parties (unless they should have told me, like a friend etc). But sueing them? That’s even another level of weird


    1. I haven’t seen your examples, but animating on twos and threes is common and how they animate different elements at different cadences and the techniques they use is what imparts the sensations of clarity, smoothness, speed, and impact. A well animated 24fps can easily be superior to 60+ slop that neglects the fundamentals. There are times where more can be beneficial, and there were some anime’s that leveraged ~60fps in specific scenes (in the days of interlacing) but it was used quite sparingly, usually during moments when they wanted an uncanny feeling or detail clarity in high motion; but they’d still use much lower cadences for the vast majority, and not just for cost reasons.
