For those with questions, I’ve started a Q & A over on the ODeck.

Since we seem to be sharing Eva stories...

People forget that the like/love debate has been going on since the time of fansubs. This is only the latest iteration.

No, don’t watch the original dub. People seem to have developed a nostalgic attachment to it, but they forget that it, too, was problematic and divisive. Watch the subs and support the official releases.

No one who uses American English says “mustn’t”, but people are all up in arms about Netflix not using “I mustn’t run away.”

ADV.

Netflix doesn’t do the onscreen text. I think because their softsub formatting doesn't allow for specific screen placement across all their platforms. 

And here’s the B Side to the above single:

I can’t wait until people dig out the old VHS subs and find that the subtitles used “like” originally.

Bullshit. If Crunchyroll could get Yes, The Bangles, Pat Metheny Group, Savage Garden, Jodeci, & Enigma for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Netflix can get a remake of a song Sinatra covered.

And this is why Florida needs to start posting food inspector ratings like they do in more respectable states.

Maybe. And Jon and Dany are William and Mary. Well, at least they could be if things play out differently than the show.

Not in the books. Cersei’s storyline is at the point where she just finished the walk of shame. So he’s still alive... for now.

I’ve said it before. The books, if not the show, will end with the establishment of a constitutional monarchy.

I wrote a similar piece last year over at the ODeck about GoT and unfinished manga-to-anime adaptations. Please check it out. https://observationdeck.kinja.com/got-book-spoiler-thread-s7-ep-7-1798488911

These things are street herpes.

I’ve known and loved City Pop ever since Patrick Macias posted some sample songs on his blog a decade ago.

I usually have one of these as my phone’s wallpaper.

I present to you: Katori Shingo pretending to be everyone’s mom. (Special guest star: James Brown, for serious)

OMG! I don’t know who this is, but it’s fucking hilarious!
