I read the entirety of the manga, and this is nothing like it. Battle Angel Alita is grim, life is shit, she is from mars and an original human. The world is shit, people are shit, and nothing is clean.

I don’t care either way, since I don’t care about live-action adaptations at all, specially coming from Hollywood, but this one is gonna backfire hard, for some stupid reason no less.

Or as the friend I sent this article said

Making her look like Gollum’s teenaged sister does not endear me to her, at all. If there was one thing about an anime you should be true to, the eyes are not it!

In my family, we do gifts for kids and then a Secret Santa for the adults with the rule that every gift has to be something consumable or related. So you can bake a tin of cookies, or give someone a box of their favorite tea, or a bottle of wine, or a cool corkscrew or some candy. My daughter made chocolate ganache…

This would be a great remaster. So many of the 3D style PlayStation games could benefit from updated graphics.

I was informed that the author that wrote that is also an investment advisor for EA and sits on the board, which is probably why he thinks entertainment should be charged at a flat hourly rate.

The thing that drives me crazy about the new wave of advent calendars is that they’re almost all Twelve Days of Christmas, leading up to Christmas.

Just like calling someone a faggot or a dyke for rejecting you as a sex partner, choosing someone of the same sex instead, or preferring fashion (or other interests) associated with the…

It’s a very common bully tactic - Bluster and attack people like mad, then as soon as anyone calls you on your shit start whining about how you’re the victim being bullied here. Trump uses it constantly.

“This used to be a god damn community of gamers, nerds, kids that got bullied, kids that got fucked with, kids that resorted to the gaming world because the real world was too fucking hard, too shitty, too lonely, too sad and depressing,”

Holy shit.

The “siblings” claim has been a fairly consistent refrain in replies to my OP. I think this is something I missed out on; I’m the oldest of two kids, and my sister was just never into games. My dad would play games with me (he helped me beat Mario Bros. back when it first came out), but for the most part, I was the…
