OH MY CALYPSO'S BIRTHDAY!!! OFMD is sooooooooooooooo fantastic.

Better than the live action Cowboy Bebop. And I think, better even than the anime. Mostly because I don't especially love the early seasons of the OP anime.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I tried watching One Piece when it first aired on Toonami and I just couldn't get into it. I really didn't like the art style and nothing else on offer from it was enough to overcome that.

The One Piece anime made Drag-On Ball Z look like a paragon of efficient, taught storytelling.

Oh yeah, I have no desire to watch the One Piece anime or read the manga. But I was surprised at how much I ended up enjoying the live-action One Piece. And I especially loved the set design.
And, in keeping with the pirate theme, we started watching OFMD (as in, season 1) earlier this week. I've already seen tons and tons of posts about it, and so many GIFs, so I'm 100% spoiled. And yet, the one thing I was surprised by was Izzy Hands' voice. I expected it to be deeper and louder. (Also, Taika Waititi is so fucking pretty.)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I've been rewatching OFMD S1 with Aeryn and remains, as ever, a complete fucking delight. I'm so happy she's enjoying it. (And I can't wait to get caught up to S2.)

By the time we get through S1, I think all of S2 will have dropped, so we won't have to wait like it's the 1980s or something.

These kids today with their binge watching and their ad-skipping buttons. Back in my day we used to watch 3 and a half minutes of commercials every ten minutes. (Uphill in the snow! Both ways!)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I remember ordering a pizza and being told how long ‘til we got it and my roommate looking at the clock and saying “that should be the first commercial break” and being AMAZED

After rewatching OFMD, a filthy fic popped into my head fully formed. I like to think JZ is watching out for me.
