I just watched this oddly third worldist Anime movie.
Best part is when a American soldier is doing some insanely evil shit and goes “I do this so we can live in a world of Starbucks and Amazon! So I can eat Big Macs and Jalapeño Pizza!” Not even exaggerating. Great stuff.
Also, crucially, before you even get to part where you are digging: you need to be able to just check stuff out generally. People used to act like I had some mystical weird anime detection power when the truth was I would just sit down and hit play on random stuff every season
next thing you like something, check what the author made before or after, check who they worked with, see what they worked on, check what their collective inspirations were, see who worked on that, it's an infinite loop guaranteed to give you something to chew on for a while
i'm often asked about how i find the stuff i watch/read/play and really it's that simple. i don't want for it to land on my lap, i'm scouring the web like crazy, i save aside anything that looks remotely cool then go back up the tree with its creator and inspirations
Random guy in my deadlock lobby: yo goomba did you used to play fighting games in Atlanta?
Me: yeah
Guy: yo I know you in real life we used to play injustice
Me: oh cool what's your tag?
Guy: I'm not telling you that all I'm saying is you need to shower more

@thegrayfruit the true ragebait is having a really good movie, but putting two stars and a heart with the review "one of the best movies ive ever seen but the cinematography gave me weird vibes"
that would ragebait anyone into oblivion
got letterboxd and trying to concoct a top 4 that is scientifically designed to get people on film twitter to make fun of me while not giving away the game that I'm trying to get made fun of
