Looks better side to side than up and down. This #strangeanime This #oldtaku These easy jokes that used to be 30$ in Bush Senior money.
@wyatt ElysiaOS was toooooooo weebie for me 😂

I guess I am more of an #oldtaku

Because tangentially #anime related, I gather from the former birb site that Elon is imagining Grok as Misa Misa and himself as Light Yagami.

My #Oldtaku ass just scratching my head like bro did you just stop watching that #anime after L's downfall? Just assumed it went well after that?

Bought a cheap new tablet basically just to read Galette and Bookwalker. It's nice to have a big page for those. Reading off a monitor or a phone was killing my eyes. #oldtaku

I just loved being in Toronto so much last time that I've been itching to go back if AniRevo Toronto really did get their 💩 together and put on a convention this year. Saves me from biting the bullet and making do with Anime North 🇨🇦 which I'm sure is a lovely con for younger #weebs but for an #oldtaku like myself I want to stay in the heart of downtown Toronto with easy access to Union Station, the Metro Convention Centre, the CN Tower and Lake Ontario waterfront.

Watching _Spy x Family_ and hearing the intro song and thinking, "This sound, is … familiar." Then seeing Bump of Chicken proudly displayed in the credits. "Oh, sweet! They're still making rad music!" I found out about them in the early 2000's but then kinda fell of the J-Pop/J-Rock scene, so it's nice to see a band I liked back then still busting out music!

Also loved the old school #anime shoutout dropping the wash pan on pink haired girl's head. It was so retro it made me bust out laughing. If you know you know #oldtaku
New Read - Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (Naoko Takeuchi Collection), Volume 10 (Final Volume)

This was the end of Sailor Moon. The final volume, frankly, gave me all I wanted and more. A confrontation with Sailor Galaxia, the truth behind the source of the Sailor Scout's power, a twist about the nature of the Sailor Scouts and the origin of their power / enemies, and entirely unnecessary time traveling characters.

I did not know what to expect, but it exceeded it. And Usagi's Christ-like willingness to offer herself up not only for her friends, but for her enemies had me tearing up as I'm reading it.

I included an early panel from the volume where Sailor Moon is confronted by two enemies who clearly are only doing the bidding of Sailor Galaxia to end the eternal conflict in the universe. So, Sailor Moon offers her own life it it will end the conflict.

No one expects a person to willingly sacrifice themselves for someone they love, let alone someone they hate. It was jarring for everyone. And yea, it was an emotional moment.

Now that I've read it all, I need to re-read it again. This time, though, I think I'll do a thorough re-read starting with Codename Sailor V first, followed by all of Sailor Moon. But, that's for another day.

This finale is worth experiencing yourself, so I definitely recommend checking out this older series.

New Read - Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon, Volume 9 (Naoko Takeuchi Collection)

Holy cow did it get real in Volume 9.

After the defeat of the Dead Moon Circus by the end of Volume 8, there was relative peace. Mamoru was going off to college in the US. But then something happens. Usagi keeps mentally blocking the horror so she pretends it isn't happening. But she has to face it as the volume continues.

Sailor Galaxia has arrived. Another Sailor Scout who is bent on becoming the most powerful Sailor Scout in the universe by stealing the power of others. In the process, she is decimating other Sailor Scouts across the Milky Way Galaxy.

Sailor Moon mentally blocking things which had upset her to avoid thinking about them...sadly, mood.

New Sailor Scouts as both enemies and allies are introduced in this wild volume. The ending is a huge setup for an amazing battle to come with Sailor Moon going after Sailor Galaxia!

I have Volume 10, which is the final volume of Sailor Moon for this edition.

I can't wait to see how the series ends. I also am definitely planning a reread in the future now that I have them all. Maybe even checking out some of the anime. When I am done.

Either way, this is great and I look forward to more.
