Safety first!
Buckle that shuckle
I feel like this is more for everyone else's safety because a shuckle in a crash is going to be like an untethered indestructible bowling ball
americans use imperial because theyd get too scared if their sodas were measured in ML
devastated to open my soda can of pepsi only to reveal 330 Marxist Leninists rushing out like the fucking trojan horse to attack our brave country.
A screaming comes across the sky.
It has happened before,
but there is nothing to compare it to now.
Since this is going around without credit and a lot of the tags and comments seem to take this as an actual piece of propaganda, it’s actually a parody song produced by Robert Davis in 1942.
The Chicago Film Archives link above describes it as “made as an exercise in DIY sound-on-film filmmaking,” and those guys look to me to be barely, if at all, out of their teens. This is basically a 1940s tiktok.
1975: There is mass panic in Adelaide after a house painter / part time psychic claimed God was about to send a tsunami to wipe out the city, should a plan to legalise homosexuality become law, with news reports reaching as far as London.
In response to the media frenzy, and to reassure the public, Premier Don Dunstan announced that he will be travelling to the beach to fight the sea, where he was met by hundreds of locals who had used the apocalypse as an excuse to take the day off work.

I'm really hoping that the lesson taken away from this is "mecha anime watchers want more gay protagonists" but I know in my heart it's "split-cour lets you offload the majority of theme and character-writing onto the fandom which can then be reinforced in the second cour"
sunrise and other studios are understandably wary of a lot of things. a huge concern for them is obviously having fandom abandon a show or turn on it. you see it in the rest of the anime industry, with shorter seasons being a method of ensuring that committees don't have to gamble large sums of money on a show out of the gate (or else risk the hype cycle dying when it hits the end of its 25 episodes and there aren't more at the ready)
this is much more disappointing to me than if it had been disastrously bad in a risky way, because the feeling I'm left with instead is that this was softball that held back at every turn, always careful not to do anything that might sour it for anyone. it's a 6/10 that felt worse for me to watch than some 3/10s
