  • Great Pretender was a very fun experience, and despite I was getting a bit sick that the story never took a serious turn without being a big bait in the end, I still enjoyed the hell out of it, especially Laurent and Cynthia’s backstories.

    I mean, the finale seemed to close on Makoto’s character pretty decently? As far as I recall, he shouldn’t have any more business as a con artist, right? I just hope the new season/movie/special (hopefully not recap) doesn’t try to force characters into their old ways 'a la Despicable Me 3; but it is WIT, so I think I trust them to handle the characters well.




    • Fate/Zero (my current top 1)

    -Og Fullmetal Alchemist, because brotherhood was probably already recommended to the entire world.

    -Ga-Rei-Zero

    -Jin-Rou

    -Eiga Daisuki Pompo-san

    -Houseki no Kuni

    -Aku no Hana (yes, THAT anime adaptation).

    -Top wo Nerae! Gunbuster (or og Gurren Lagann, if you will)

    -Toradora!

    -Kaiba

    -Shiki (people should talk more about this and Kaiba, this one has also one of the best Special episodes I’ve ever seen)

    -Higurashi no naku Koro ni (not sotsugou for god’s sake).

    -Shinsekai Yori.

    In general, in a world where the conversations around horror anime almost always shift towards Elfen Lied and Another (where neither is particularly great in my opinion), I think Shiki, Higurashi and Shinsekai Yori also deserve their place in mainstream conversations (more than the first two, I’d even say).





  • 355/113 is the best fractional approximation of pi with less than 5 digits on both numerator and denominator, with 6 decimal digits of precision. It is constructed by taking the sequence of the first 3 odd numbers, each repeated exactly once, as such: “113355”, then splitting the resulting string in halves, taking the first half as denominator, and the second as numerator.

    A 4-set venn diagram can’t be constructed with circles because it wouldn’t show exclusive intersections between opposed sets.

    A talks to B, B talks to C; A is married, C is not married. Therefore, a married person is talking to a non-married person.


  • Can’t talk for everyone, but for the case of rplace, I’d say propaganda.

    I know of people who still use reddit as they always do, and its likely because they don’t know reddit’s latest (and terrible) corporate decisions, so using rplace to spread a message that tells people something is wrong with reddit is the first step for these people to find the right path: leaving reddit.
