i feel like people are sleeping on the occam's razor situation of how buckwild it is to outright accuse a guy of being a clone of your friend even if you DO have a lot of circumstantial evidence. there's other options is what im saying. they could just be like. a guy. that's a sensible deduction. you should explore that deduction. ignore my shirt that reads I <3 RED HERRINGS.
i still think odile has the correct theory on lock but she's smart enough to know it needs like... a real smoking gun to be able to bring it up without sounding insane.
anyway. (mirabelle voice) i know its rude to speculate but has anyone else noticed the grieving? they seem to be grieving. does anyone have any thoughts on the grieving? i have some thoughts on the grieving.
i understand the desire to make carrie the musical a cult hit bc of how hard it flopped but we need to acknowledge that like half of the songs are really boring
God bless the uBlock origin team. The internet is so choked with ads these days, and I really didn't know how much it was bothering me and making my life worse until it all went away--a constant background buzz that got turned off.
Also my self-esteem was MUCH improved by not constantly seeing ads--it's so much easier to look at myself and my life and see what's there instead of focusing on what isn't.
I get that websites and creators have to make money somehow, and sometimes people give me a hard time for ""stealing"" but in that whole conversation there is always a missing piece. People really downplay the actual costs of constantly being shown this crap. If it was just an annoyance, that would be one thing, but the huge quantity of ads add up to have a real, tangible, and undeniably negative effect on mental health, and I simply don't agree that choosing to spare myself that is tantamount to stealing.
it seemed that searching three words allows you to find all posts containing those three words
with two words, it seemed that both words have to be in tags, or else it doesn't work. maybe unless the post is popular
but what if i write a really long tag? the maximum limit is 139 characters per tag
i did this experiment in this post
i concluded that if your search contains common words, for example "what write really", it only retrieves certain posts where those words are in the text
for uncommon/nonexisting words in the text of your post such as "brasput yabet mituarb", you can find your post by searching just 1 word
for two words in any of the tags, it retrieves the post, even if the words are common. for example "eat above"
ULTRAMAN BLAZAR New Official Trailer | Coming July 8 JST
It’s like Ultraman Z meets Ultraman Nexus. It’s refreshing to see an “older” lead and a more serious tone, but not too dark as Nexus. Looking forward to see it!

A rewatch definitely 3 years in the making since I last graced my eyes upon this series, my relationship with this show is a bit of a roller coaster of coming out loving it versus coming out thinking it's an average show. So it begs the question: Does Ultraman Nexus rise again as a favorite? or does it end up in the average mindset once again?
Ultraman Nexus is the second brainchild of the N Project, originally designed to be unrelated as "Ultraman Cross" before the decision was made to alter it to tie into ULTRAMAN (2004) in some shape or form. ULTRAMAN (2004) was a film that reinvented the original Ultraman (1966) with the slick modern touches of the 00s era of rebooting series to fit with the period of more modern takes on classic properties (i.e. Batman Begins, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Battlestar Galactica). The film took cues from films like Top Gun while also tying in elements one would expect from this sort of thing. Moderately successful, the tone of the film would draw itself into Cross to generate Nexus.
Nexus is very true in tone to the showrunner Keiichi Hasegawa's style of mystery and drama, while also trying to push for inspirations from the Men In Black film series and J-Horror of the time. It pushes Ultraman into a lane of a world that hides the monsters from the people to prevent worldwide panic and later revealing that such panic is what these creatures feed on (in some way akin to the minus energy that Ultra played on, which even mecha series also adapted) as well as taking more unconventional routes with kaiju designs that seemed to slowly started with Ultraman Dyna and Gaia a half a decade prior. Monstrous and inspired by folklore and popular monsters of film legend, it defined a lot of Nexus' take on the wild and weird of the daikaiju.
Nexus has the elements of making such a great series, so many wonderful concepts and episodes and yet in other aspects it flushes itself into having a difficult time drawing you with drama and mystery when it doesn't have the greatest showrunner known for it. Hasegawa is a great writer, but mystery had never been the avenue he was best at. It really isn't until his work in Ultraman Ginga or SSSS Dynazenon I feel it achieved it.
The characters are great, albeit Shiori doesn't get much attention and the fact the EX episode is how you get an ounce to really feel for her as a character is a bit sad since her death in the climax of the series is a bit underwhelming without the EX episode. The eventual reveal of Zagi's identity in the Night Raiders also feels very sudden and not well built up to when the character he is revealed to be is the one you knew shit-all about throughout the whole show. I understand the rush of the finale, but I feel there should have been planted seeds earlier that aren't really noticeable until you rewatch the show.
