When you said most depressing anime I thought you were going with (also very anti-war) Now and Then, Here and There.

When somebody complains that something is NSFW my instant response is WHY AREN'T YOU WORKING.

Ha!

I clicked on this just to see how the author was going to get to how this actually not about tunnels in space-time.

Because not knowing stuff is much, much cooler. Got it.

First the bloop is due to "icequakes". Then an island doesn't "exist".

Reconciling two of the most prominent theories: it's a balloon AND a pokemon.

That was my first guess. But I think it's a drifbloom.

Sure thing. Icequakes.

This probably goes on in a very small number of schools... right?

Amazing.

Yeah what everyone else said.

Charlie Jane, are the religious scenes toned downed in the movie? I remember the book being somewhat confrontational about it, especially in one "scene".

Drop everything and go now.

I think it's kind of weird that NASA keeps doing these "trailers" of big news. Couldn't they just do it the normal way and present results when you have said results? It's not like they are feeling pressure and their budget has suddenly been put under danger (it always is).

There's no consent to give I think. Since it's a thing. Like a stone.

Thoroughly entertained.

Cyriaque definitely expanded our minds when it came to weird videos, obscure uncomfortable comics and just plain nonsense.

To be fair, half of it was climactic. The series of events on the island were exciting and sad, and you wanted a happy ending for them. Especially JUST BEFORE THE SUBMARINE.
