Immaculate vibes and hot action packed into a tight package--and all the 80s cheese you could want, complete with a nun armed with a pistol and a stripper armed with a shotgun (they're the same character, btw). Being shot in 80s Okinawa seals the deal aesthetically. #AHWatching

It could stand to be lighter, though. For all the 80s cheese, it ends on a downer. This works for 70s Toei films, because they're kinda all downers throughout. Just the one death at the start would have been fine, here. Also, the action gets too explodey for me--but that's the 80s. #AHWatching

oh man

We're owed a president with some virtuous scheming viziers after this. Some guy hissing "We must ban the SUVs sire"

フルアーマー・ガンダム (ver Thunderbolt)

sakamotos new record is a treasure. deep spacey sounds, mellow funk and bossa, with nice psychedelic energy here and there. just all the shit you want from him, and extremely polished. I think it’s my fave from him so far.

like many of tenmas full albums, this one was kinda uneven. I like when he leans into more sentimental sounds and disco/jazzy stuff, but his more genki jpop pieces typically require time to grow on me. the nomiya maki collab was not what I expected. kinda kitschy but it worked.

itz friday babeeyyy

lol why is this kinda doing numbers

*sonny chiba; he is not a walkman

Starts strong with Chiba breaking apart a bunch of goons in good ol' bloody fashion, and maintains a cool seedy atmosphere filled with neon lights, prostitutes, and drunk US servicemen. That said, by the end it loses the plot--which would be fine, but it also runs out of karate, too. #AHWatching

Being based on a manga, it feels like it's rushing through multiple arcs. It builds up a huge evil organization that we never really get to see much of before they're dispatched by the "real" bad guys, who seems a bit less intimidating in comparison. And again: NEEDS MORE KARATE! #AHWatching

Hey y'all I'm at the store, you want some WnW??

family mart tandoori chicken sandwich ain’t bad—and properly spicy (at least for conbini food)

I'm always glad to find a new useful anime screencap.

picked up tenma-kun’s new album was looking for it in the “new releases” area since it dropped this week but I guess tower records in shinjuku didn’t even buy enough to place it there, lol. it was already lost in the midsts of the jpop section with a small post-it noting it was a new release.

that third star wars movie started to drag near the end, it is a good thing this guy shows up

this put me over the edge and got me to figure out how to get VLC to play blus :V it seems good on a test run! gotta see if the sound of the disc drive annoys me when im watching stuff, but on a quick test it didn't seem too bad.

rn the only streaming service im paying for is JP hulu. it still has some on-screen clutter but its not nearly as bad as the other services.

Finally getting caught up on CITY and decided to just throw it on with Amazon Prime cuz I got a free month--I was stealing it before then, and I think I will continue to do so. What a shit show watching this on Prime.
