If your commitments are that resource restrained, I'd wait a couple of episodes and read comments to see how things are shaking out.

I feel like this is going to be like a shoujou anime from the 70s: Girl uses her magical powers every week to solve the problems of people she meets on her journeys, is rewarded with a little token that puts her that little bit closer to her goal. i.e. "The real gift was the friendships she made along the way".

Except back then the goal was aspirational, e.g. becoming The Queen Of Whatever Kingdom, and in this one, the goal is surviving the Curse Of Doom Death.

How expectations have changed in Japan...

Pretty much your standard "reincarnated, and getting a fast start to developing my magical powers" story.

This is being played straight.

The only twist is having his prior incarnation being a violent sociopathic conqueror from a somewhat modern technological world, but we'll have to wait and see how that affects things.

This was competently directed, and didn't feel slow at all.

The plot feels like it was stolen right out of a classic shojo manga, but the protagonist's attitude is very modern.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was revealed as all being a trick by the old witch as a character building exercise.

Just look at the authors: "Marvin" "Richard" obviously they researched and wrote in more detail about what they were interested in, and structured the book from their perspective.

Hey, I didn't know Snow worked in accounting!

 

Blind Rage is fucking awesome!

Snow's Jamaican Patois actually more-or-less legit, but this song will be forever linked to the Jim Carrey parody "Imposter" from the In Living Color show

That makes having a MAL account just feel icky now.

"Blockchain, AI"

This just screams of a company that's out to exploit for maximum profit at the expense of their (L)users.

Okay, but what does the duck mean?

[–] zabadoh@ani.social 1 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

There's a school of acting where you're supposed to more-or-less keep a blank face, and let the audience project emotions onto your protagonist. Richard Gere was famous for it. I want to say it's Method Acting, but that's not it.

It doesn't work if the writing doesn't work.

[–] zabadoh@ani.social 1 points 19 hours ago

Upon reflection, one of the concept mistakes was slavishly following the original plot.

The embellishments like the happy citizens, Evil Queen's love for cheap plastic jewels, apple pies, etc. just felt unnecessary and tacked on.

Disney already made Maleficent relatively recently in 2014 as a meta take on the original, so where could they go from there?

I think in this case, Godot was miscast.

I understand any actress wanting to expand their range, particularly her wanting to be known anything else other than Wonder Woman. See Leonard Nimoy and his "I'm not Spock" phase.

Sometimes, you just gotta own it tho...

A friend who watched Snow White with me thought she was okay, but I didn't think she sold being EVIL enough.

Re:Zero - I didn't even finish S2 before starting S3. It is kind of hard to watch because each season's predicament seems so hopeless. Just gotta have faith that the writer makes it pay off, and it does!

Lyrics:

Oh! ¡Ay!

Fonsi, D.Y. Fonsi, DY

Oh, oh no, oh no (oh) Oh, oh no, oh no (oh)

hey yeah Hey yeah

Diridiri, dirididi Daddy Diridiri, dirididi Daddy

Go! Go!

Yes, you know I've been looking at you for a while now Sí, sabes que ya llevo un rato mirándote

I have to dance with you today (DY) Tengo que bailar contigo hoy (DY)

I saw that your gaze was already calling me Vi que tu mirada ya estaba llamándome

Show me the way I go Muéstrame el camino que yo voy

Oh, you, you are the magnet and I am the metal Oh, tú, tú eres el imán y yo soy el metal

I'm getting closer and putting together the plan Me voy acercando y voy armando el plan

Just thinking about it makes your pulse accelerate (oh yeah) Solo con pensarlo se acelera el pulso (oh yeah)

Yes, I like you more than normal Ya, ya me estás gustando más de lo normal

All my senses are asking for more Todos mis sentidos van pidiendo más

This must be taken without any rush Esto hay que tomarlo sin ningún apuro

Slowly Despacito

I want to breathe your neck slowly Quiero respirar tu cuello despacito

Let me say things in your ear Deja que te diga cosas al oído

So that you remember if you are not with me Para que te acuerdes si no estás conmigo

Slowly Despacito

I want to undress you with kisses slowly Quiero desnudarte a besos despacito

Sign the walls of your maze Firmar las paredes de tu laberinto

And make your body a whole manuscript (up, up, up) Y hacer de tu cuerpo todo un manuscrito (sube, sube, sube)

(Go up, go up) Oh (Sube, sube) Oh

I want to see your hair dance Quiero ver bailar tu pelo

I want to be your rhythm (uh oh, uh oh) Quiero ser tu ritmo (uh oh, uh oh)

That you show my mouth (uh oh, uh oh) Que le enseñes a mi boca (uh oh, uh oh)

Your favorite places (favorites, favorites baby) Tus lugares favoritos (favoritos, favoritos baby)

Let me get over your danger zones (uh oh, uh oh) Déjame sobrepasar tus zonas de peligro (uh oh, uh oh)

Until I provoke your screams (uh oh, uh oh) Hasta provocar tus gritos (uh oh, uh oh)

And may you forget your last name (dirididi Daddy) Y que olvides tu apellido (dirididi Daddy)

I know you're thinking about it (eh) Yo sé que estás pensándolo (eh)

I've been trying for a while (eh) Llevo tiempo intentándolo (eh)

Mommy, this is giving and giving Mami, esto es dando y dándolo

You know your heart with me makes you bam bam Sabes que tu corazón conmigo te hace bam bam

You know that baby is looking for me bam bam Sabe que esa beba 'tá buscando de mi bam bam

Come taste my mouth to see how it tastes to you Ven prueba de mi boca para ver cómo te sabe

I want, I want, I want to see how much love you have Quiero, quiero, quiero ver cuánto amor a ti te cabe

I'm not in a hurry, I want to take the trip Yo no tengo prisa, yo me quiero dar el viaje

We started slow, then wild Empezamo' lento, después salvaje

Step by step, soft little Pasito a pasito, suave suavecito

We are getting closer little by little Nos vamos pegando poquito a poquito

When you kiss me with that skill Cuando tú me besas con esa destreza

I see that you are malice with delicacy Veo que eres malicia con delicadeza

Step by step, soft little Pasito a pasito, suave suavecito

We are getting closer, little by little (oh oh) Nos vamos pegando, poquito a poquito (oh oh)

And that beauty is a puzzle (oh no) Y es que esa belleza es un rompecabezas (oh no)

But to assemble it here I have the piece (slow, oh yeah) Pero pa' montarlo aquí tengo la pieza (slow, oh yeah)

Slowly (yeh, yo) Despacito (yeh, yo)

I want to breathe your neck slowly (yo) Quiero respirar tu cuello despacito (yo)

Let me say things in your ear (yo) Deja que te diga cosas al oído (yo)

So that you remember if you are not with me Para que te acuerdes si no estás conmigo

Slowly Despacito

I want to undress you with kisses slowly (yeh) Quiero desnudarte a besos despacito (yeh)

Sign the walls of your maze Firmar las paredes de tu laberinto

And make your body a whole manuscript (up, up, up) Y hacer de tu cuerpo todo un manuscrito (sube, sube, sube)

(Go up, go up) Oh (Sube, sube) Oh

I want to see your hair dance Quiero ver bailar tu pelo

I want to be your rhythm (uh oh, uh oh) Quiero ser tu ritmo (uh oh, uh oh)

That you show my mouth (uh oh, uh oh) Que le enseñes a mi boca (uh oh, uh oh)

Your favorite places (favorites, favorites baby) Tus lugares favoritos (favoritos, favoritos baby)

Let me get over your danger zones (uh oh, uh oh) Déjame sobrepasar tus zonas de peligro (uh oh, uh oh)

Until I provoke your screams (uh oh, uh oh) Hasta provocar tus gritos (uh oh, uh oh)

And forget your last name Y que olvides tu apellido

Slowly Despacito

Let's do it on a beach in Puerto Rico Vamo' a hacerlo en una playa en Puerto Rico

Until the waves scream "Oh, blessed one" Hasta que las olas griten "Ay, bendito"

So that my seal stays with you (dance it) Para que mi sello se quede contigo (báilalo)

Step by step, soft little (hey yeah, yeah) Pasito a pasito, suave suavecito (hey yeah, yeah)

We are getting closer, little by little (oh no) Nos vamos pegando, poquito a poquito (oh no)

That you show my mouth (uh oh, uh oh) Que le enseñes a mi boca (uh oh, uh oh)

Your favorite places (favorites, favorites baby) Tus lugares favoritos (favoritos, favoritos baby)

Step by step, soft little Pasito a pasito, suave suavecito

We are sticking together, little by little Nos vamos pegando, poquito a poquito

Until I provoke your screams (eh-oh) (Fonsi) Hasta provocar tus gritos (eh-oh) (Fonsi)

And forget your last name (DY) Y que olvides tu apellido (DY)

Slowly Despacito

 

After some thought, the recently created original group https://kbin.earth/m/2010s didn't have "music" in the actual group name, and therefore wasn't super-obviously a music group, so we're relaunching as https://kbin.earth/m/2010smusic

In kbin, you can't just change a community's name, so the mod had to create an entirely new /m or magazine.

I hope y'all will post your favorite music from the previous decade and help us build our community!
