The page you link says that Golden Hour and Blue Hour occur during both sunrise and sunset, so I’m not sure how that shows what the difference is between sunrise and sunset.
Hibike! Euphonium was directed by Ishihara Tatsuya, who has also done a bunch of other must-watch anime.
Kanon 2006, Clannad, Haruhi Suzumiya, Nichijou, Dragon Maid S, and of course Hibike! Euphonium.
I’m extremely skeptical that tens of millions of people, a huge percentage of the working population, make any significant income from TikTok. Do you have a source for that?
I looked up “bulldogging” and it seems to be where somebody rides a bull and then tries to wrestle it to the ground. You can see in the image the aftermath of the bulldogging; the bull has its head sideways and horn being held by a guy sitting on the ground. You can see his legs, coat, and face
Even something like “Tanaka” I often hear pronounced like ‹tə 'na kə› rather than like ‹ta na ka›
‹a ki ɾa› becomes ‹ə 'ki ɹə›
Not sure if the IPA is precisely correct in there but the schwa ə and the stress is what I hear oftentimes.
Mushishi is awesome and is one thing that I think you can recommend to any age group-- 5 years old or 105 years old.
The Evangelion rebuild movies have been untouched on my PTW for maybe 5 years now.
I think it’s interesting that 4chan has invented “anon” as, functionally, a naturally occurring genderless neopronoun. I would argue even more genderless than xe/xim because while xe/xim was created in relation to gender, anon was created with no connection to gender at all. Xe/xim is “not he or she” whereas anon is he, she, they, xe, or anything else.
There’s other words as well (homie, oomfie, bestie) that are functionally genderless neopronouns although these (and anon) are commonly used alongside gendered pronouns eg: anon posted his greentext on 4chan, I visited bestie and her dog.
Now I’m not recommending that anybody starts using anon/bestie pronouns or anything, cause if bestie wants to do that then bestie will have to deal with how awkward it sounds. But, I’m generally more partial towards these absolutely genderless naturally-occurring neopronouns over the relatively genderless constructed xe/xim. And I’m curious if anybody else has thoughts about these.
edit: mods what did you do to my parents 😭
The orca from this story is from one of the same pods that was part of that trend, although she’s too young (1998) to have been part of the original trend. But perhaps her mother once wore a salmon hat
Orcas are very intelligent, emotional, and social, arguably moreso than any other non-human animal. For this orca individual, the reality was doubtlessly just as much of a dramatic and emotional journey as it appears in the headline.
Yeah I don’t expect so many people to have the same opinion but for me I didn’t really like anything in 2023. My personal “golden age” is 2006-2011 and I can pull up any year at random (say, 2010) and find a bunch of personal favorites (second season of K-On!, best season of Hidamari Sketch, The Tatami Galaxy, my beloved B-Gata H-Kei) and other stuff I think I might enjoy (Katanagatari, PSG, Kuragehime, etc.)
Whereas the only things I liked in 2023 were the Hibike! Euphonium movie and (to a much milder degree) Frieren.
Probably not a widespread belief, but yeah 2023 is the worst year for anime imo
I think of 2023 as the worst year for anime. Not a single good show out of what I watched and the ones that I heard were good I’m just not interested in (Jujutsu Kaisen, Zom 100, Bleach, etc).
Compare 2023 to any single season from 2006-2011. So many classics compared to… Frieren? and that’s about it.
Not that I’m upset about it, there’s enough gems anywhere from late 70s though ~2017 to keep me occupied indefinitely
Cancer treatment also has had lots of improvements but they aren’t newsworthy if they’re not the Cure to Cancer™️
I’ve never seen this before and I don’t know what it’s from
Do you mean English loanwords or when people switch back & forth?
I also love Yotsubato! :) sometimes it blows my mind that’s it’s the same author as Azumanga Daioh
My #1 favorite is Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, it’s several times longer and more complex than the movie.
10/10: Nausicaa, Girls’ Last Tour
Almost 10/10: Himegoto: Juukyuusai no Seifuku
9/10: B-gata H-kei, Genjitsu Touhi shitetara Boroboro ni Natta Hanashi (the Nagata Kabi alcoholism memoir), Mata Onaji Yume wo Miteita
Other favorites: Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid, Nichijou, Onimai, Melancholia & Nickelodeon, March comes in like a lion, Onanie Master Kurosawa, Gakkougurashi. Maybe parts 6 and 7 of Jojo’s
Lots of other languages have days named after the sun, moon, and 5 planets or the gods associated with the planets. Obviously we have Sunday and Monday, or lunes in Spanish, but that’s also why in Spanish, Mars = Marte, Tuesday = Martes. Probably most famously in English is Thursday coming from Thor’s day (Þunras dag) with Thor being the equivalent to Zeus or Jupiter, which is where jueves comes from in Spanish. In Spanish though their sun-day got remained to God’s day (domingo) and saturn-day to sabbath (sabado). Probably most interesting is that the connection even applies to Japanese. The days go in this order: 日月火水木金土 which means “sun moon fire water wood metal earth” which are the classical Chinese 5 elements connected to everything from the 60-year sexagisimal calendar to the bagua tao trigrams on the Republic of Korea flag. And if course, they’re also the names of the planets with Mars being fire-planet, Mercury being water-planet, Jupiter being wood-planet, Venus being metal-planet, and Saturn being earth-planet.
So the planet Jupiter (etc.) is to some degree represented in the Thursdays (etc.) of three different languages. Not really saying that this makes more sense than Portuguese, but I think it’s cool

This only includes data from 2024. Anything Trump has done as president is irrelevant to this ranking. If you think 28th out of 180 sounds bad, wait until the data for 2025 comes out
