I saw a screenshot of this episode, and I was reminded that I rewatched it (and recorded some scenes) last month. Anyway, just thought some of you might want to see it.

(edit: added the tag "out of context detco dub" to all the related videos on my blog for easier searching)

#dcmk #ran mouri #conan edogawa #kogoro mouri #ran's VA absolutely destroyed me in the first scenes #and of course kogoro's VA being iconic as usual #kogoro literally being japanese taking (and flunking) a japanese class just to explain how he knew the word “king” dubwise is hilarious #like if we're talking about the dub series the characters are supposedly american?#but i know in movie 6 (at least) they're japanese?#i know its just funimation and their weird choice of localization (canadian heiji!) but i find it funny #out of context detco dub

I’m fascinated by horror and for me, I feel like I’m drawn to it because of all these things. However my main reason is probably because I relate to it or find it oddly comforting in a way—and no, I can’t elaborate unfortunately. I do not know why the Horrors™️ give me the warm fuzzies

I love the new TMNT movie, and I’m currently on the first episode of Tales of the TMNT.

So far it’s great, but I just feel like this whole universe is a little off and I think I finally know why. There is barely any Japanese influence left. they took away all the Japanese influence Splinter had by making him a random New York rat, and left us with a rat who only learned Japanese fighting styles from tv. That’s the only connection to Japanese culture he has. This then bleeds into the turtles and it just really takes away from the Japanese American influence the turtles always had.

I mean, even in iterations where Splinter wasn’t Hamato Yoshi, he was always connected to him. In the original story and in the 2003 universe, Splinter had intimate ties with Japanese culture. Now, he just…doesn’t. And it just feels like the story would be a lot better and more succinct if he did. But hey, maybe they’ll add more to Splinter’s backstory in the next movie since they are introducing Shredder. I doubt it, but who knows.

Anyway, Idk if I’m the only person who thinks this, but it makes me sad

#I miss when tmnt was intrinsically Japanese American ;(#even in the old show where there wasn’t much shown about it #they at least had Splinter BE Hamato Yoshi #they didn’t really shy away from the Japanese influence #but this new iteration feels like it is #in some parts it feels like it’s making fun of it #especially with the ‘learn from the tv’ thing #which I realize is also similar to the live action movies #and no #having Donnie be obsessed with anime doesn’t count as Japanese influence #anyway rant over #tmnt #tales of the tmnt #teenage mutant ninja turtles #tmnt mm #tmnt mutant mayhem #mutant mayhem #is this a weird gripe to have??

Hey did anyone else own the VHS tape of this supperrrrr underrated Dreamworks movie called Camelot??? It was TOTALLY real guys trust me. TRUSSST MEEE. DID YOU SEE IT???

#camelot musical #this started as a joke I made with my friend that I took far enough to draw lol #anyways yeah the cartoon vibes would be 2023 is a 2D dreamworks movie that is panned by the critics but #the next generation of bisexual tumblr users form a love for it #I think 1987 Camelot is an old Disney movie that flopped but has an attraction at the parks that people love even tho #they have no idea what it's referencing #and the 1967 movie is like one of those pretty but a little weird 60's Japanese animations that gets a janky but charming English dub #and becomes lost media until someone on the internet finds a way to resort it #yes I'm normal.#my art #camelot

Tell me why I only found your blog today😫 I’ve been reading through your works all morning and wanna bow down to your writing like the royalty it is!

For sleazy mechanic ghost, you’ve got me giggling and wondering what would happen if she Johnny couldn’t successfully chat her up and she just…leaves when her car is fixed, no giving into flirtation. Would love to hear your thoughts on if they would stalk their little bird or what not.

Omg ty anon 😭🩵 I don’t have very much posted yet since i’ve spent the last two years essentially just rambling my incoherent ideas and headcanons in friends DMs but now i’m like fuck it why shouldn’t i post them and try to get better at writing. The first and only fic i’ve done so far was really fun and i’m excited to do shameless self insert x reader stuff haha.

As for the second part im literally cackling right now because that’s well… basically the idea i have outlined 💀 probs won’t be full blown creepy stalker for this AU. but without spoiling too much yeah basically rejects Soap coming on super fucking strong that initial meeting at the shop but they just can’t quite seem shake him. Relatively small town after all, of course he’s going to spot you in the bread aisle at the grocery store and make a beeline to you to bother and harass you. and he’s gonna make sure you have to bring your fine self and your pretty car that he’s obsessed with back to the shop

#the way i’m still researching which like late 90s early 2000s japanese sports car to give reader lmao #something flashy and cute. kinda that has that early 2000s popular girl in a high school movie vibes #but it’s still something that car dude bros kinda go crazy over yaknow #anyways he gets really fucking weird about reader’s car too #mechanic au #cod #ask

The two stories/series/media creations that make me want to gnaw on the drywall right now are Revolutionary Girl Utena, a masterful deconstruction of tropes rooted in sexism and queerphobia but with pervasive racist/imperialist elements* in the background, and Dune, a masterful deconstruction of tropes rooted in racism and imperialism but with pervasive sexist/queerphobic** elements in the background. it's hilarious it's like they're made to cancel each other out

#shitpost #rgu #sky #revolutionary girl utena #shoujo kakumei utena #dune #dune series #dune movie #*i'm not the only one who thinks that akio and anthy being the only ones with skin darker than snow white's is kinda weird right?#that's not just me?#something something japanese imperialism and the exotification/fetishization of Desi people or darker-skinned people in general #**the recent movies do a better job of this but hoo boy the books are Utterly Saturated with heteronormativity and the gender binary #the whole thing with the Bene Gesserit and the Kwisatz Haderach can really only exist with the acceptance of the gender binary #and it breaks down once you try to analyze why it's in place. in order for it to work you just kinda need to ignore the existence of #intersex/transgender/genderqueer/nonbinary people and treat the categories of 'men' and 'women' as mutually exclusive homogenous boxes #and then of course there's the fact that in the books all the female characters are either Bene Gesserit or Fremen (wives)#the Dune books very much treat men as the default #as a final note i'd joke like “posts that are gonna get me cancelled for enjoying Problematic Shit” but like #i don't think either the rgu or the dune fandoms are that kind of community lol

i was going to make a post telling yall to stop calling godzilla minus one a low-budget film (because it isn't) but then i remembered disney regularly drops 12 million for ONE EPISODE of their shows without nearly the same cultural impact so. yeah godzilla is low-budget as far as i'm concerned idc

#uhhhh me #film budget is such an interesting thing to think abt #for those curious: godzilla had a budget of 10 million #which seems like a lot until you compare it to an average hollywood action movie which is like. 100 million easy #incidentally that is oppenheimer's budget!#so seeing that you go wow! why the discrepency?#as far as i can figure. american movies go for the big mass appeal so they'll out more money into international releases etc #whereas japanese films only rly care about domestic release so they save a stupid amount of money there #(i'm sure there's more to this and i have my theories but i don't have hard data rn to back it up so i won't say it)#so anyway. 10 mil is a very modest budget by hollywood standards but by japan standards it's above average actually #oh yeah the other thing about budgets i always come back to #is the fact the percy jackson show had 12 million per episode #but did not look or feel nearly as good as shadow and bone which had average 4 mil per episode. literally a third what percy had #the allegiant movie had an estimated ~120 mill budget and somehow was worse in every single way than the scorch trials movie #which had 61 mil. HALF what allegiant had and yet literally everything about it was more pleasing #one of my fave sci-fi films prospect has less than 4 mil budget and yes you could tell the cgi was unreal sometimes #it was done in a way that looked artistic instead of cheap and glossy #and i would watch that over whatever new movie the mcu pops out with like. 200 mil budget that somehow looks uglier-#-than a movie on 4 mil #oh my god what in the fucking world. antman 3 had 300 million. whomst.#and the movie didn't even look good? the audacity #7 times prospect's budget and looks like shit #anyway. budget is a weird thing #it rly comes down to who's handling the project and how smartly they use that money #oh ya the other thing i was gonna say is i do think there's a difference between 'low budget film' and 'film with a lower budget'#i think godzilla is a lower budget film (comparatively to hollywood) but not a low budget film. if you catch my drift.

Yokai Monsters: Spook Warfare 👻 Mega-weird 60s Japanese folklore film. Tons of cool costumes, creatures, demons, masks, puppets, and even some laughs. A whacky ride with cool double exposure edits and a solid pace throughout. Fun experience for fans of the strange and unusual. 6/10 streaming on AMC+
