$7.32 a share? That’s less than two issues of DC Comics.

Very much in a SPAAAACE mode this week, and so just watched Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise for the first time. I'd had a different expectation for it than what I got, but what I got was also much closer to where my head's been at. Great stuff, Gainax really kicked things off with a bang.

And that's a close on Rocket Girls this Stockpile Sunday. Still recommending the books over the anime, but the back half worked better than the front, and even as limited as the production was, they still made sure to provide some nice shots of the earth from space.

I have no words. For months, work's done things to fuck over 'my' customers so very badly, but even through that, while spewing invectives at the C-suite, those customers continued to have nothing but kind words for the help I've given them over the years as they're forced to move on. And now this.

most likely multiple outlets have been working on neil gaiman abuse investigations, so it’s a shame the outlet scooping the gaiman allegations right now did so for the wrong reasons. both the matter of fact and the matter of publishing are terrible.

And that's book 10 for the year, which comes with a bit of typographical trivia at the end. It's only been 13 years since the Alfredson/Oldman Tinker Tailor came out, but I've finally gotten around to what came next.

Intrusive thought: What if the Jetson's flying car future, but with modern American vehicle design principles. How badly do they blot out the sky? What sort of failures does the Cybertruck equivalent encounter? How much worse are they for the safety of everyone outside them?

From K-ON! to Kyon, it's a Kyoani Stockpile Sunday. K-ON! The Movie brings a close to the fuwa-fuwa time with a fun little adventure and more graduation feels. Then a rewatch of Disappearance of Suzumiya Haruhi for the first time in a long time, it's still a great cap on the series, but I want more.

I was very much skeptical about it, but Suicide Squad Isekai did, in fact, read and understand the assignment. Had quite a fun time with these first three episodes, especially with Jun Fukuyama channelling his Draluc performance for Clayface.

I also had to go back and skim the fist book, which this batch of episodes covered, and that lead to sighing at the afterward, where (circa 2010) the author was highlighting points where people had called the book prophetic in the years since its original 1995 release.

Kicking off Rocket Girls this Stockpile Sunday, the rare case where I've read the source novels before watching and... oof. The good core idea's still there, but bogged down by a poor animation budget, heavy abridging, and a very stereotyped take on the island's native population that's aging badly.
