I was going through some of Anno's older works and found this gem. He also made an Ultraman fan film with him as Ultraman.

I see. Yeah, it would be confusing for everyone who didn't see. Sorry.

I've seen I Want to Eat Your Pancreas. Kimisui (the short title, because it's so long lol) kind of feels like getting stabbed in the chest then it's over. Like what @wjs018@ani.social said, Look Back wasn't top tier emotional, at least in the same sense as Kimisui.

Kimisui / Look Back spoilers

Kimisui banks on the audience's anticipation on when Yamauchi dies because it's pre-established that she does die (movie opens with her funeral). The twist takes a different form. There's also the reveal of the main character's name. After Yamauchi dies and the MC goes through a cathartic moment, life goes on for him.

In Look Back, I kept thinking to myself "oh it's not over yet?" There are several moments after the "twist" when I thought the movie was going to end already but it kept going (for good reasons) so the emotion you feel is a bit different. Perhaps a bit dull. Maybe you can say Look Back doesn't have a "climax" in the same way Kimisui does.

Also, Kimisui is grounded completely on reality while Look Back has a segment where two timelines converge. So maybe the realism in Kimisui makes it more emotional.

My friend's been bugging me to read the manga years ago so now I can say that I "read" it. It was kind of depressing to watch though.

I'm guessing Fujino and Kyoumoto are two parts of the author (Fujimoto) and it's essentially his response to how a mangaka keeps on going. The manga was released during the Chainsawman hiatus and I'm guessing there are other references to his other past works.

Despite that, I'm still figuring out what Kyoumoto means to him. It's a silly thing to think about but assuming he's both Fujino and Kyoumoto, and he uses Fujino to represent the mangaka we know, then "who" is Kyoumoto?

Also this shot reminds me of Misato walking in the corridor:

And if anyone hasn't, definitely read Fujimoto's other one shot "Goodbye Eri".

Archon Quest Spoilers

Sometimes I forget what happened in previous archon quests (and the story in general). I'm happy I remember Caribert from the cloth tied to his arm though.

His bit with Atossa was really emotional. Especially with the dolls on the tree in his island.

I found Caribert more interesting than the twins for some reason lol. I was a bit disappointed that the traveler doesn't remember their conversation with the other sibling. I was expecting something like what happened in the Sumeru Archon Quest.

I knew there was going to be a gift/ornament though but I wasn't expecting a photograph. It was a bit funny.

Anyway, I can't wait for the next summer event. Genshin Impact's summer events are always fun.

The only screenshot I was able to take:

I made a comment in the gacha pull thread earlier this month with Tighnari. I was short around ~30 pulls for another 5-star guarantee. I spent the last few days playing through the rest of the Fontaine Archon Quest. With the extra primos and fates, I managed to get Furina today!

KQM also just posted their Furina guide so I guess I'll be spending the next few weeks building her.

Please do not say anything hateful to the Lemmy.ml admins or the developers. Before commenting on this thread, please read the post completely.


We (ani.social) have been defederated from Lemmy.ml a few hours ago presumably for the reason of being "full of CSAM" which I disagree.

What happened?

The Lemmy developers recently launched the new redesigned join-lemmy.org webpage which provides information about Lemmy and a list of servers that people can join. The redesign looks great! It details a lot of new and useful stuff such as a categorized server list and mobile apps. However, I noticed that our instance (ani.social) was not in the list despite previously being there before the redesign.

After looking through the joinlemmy-site code, I discovered that ani.social was added to the "excluded" list in a commit a few weeks ago. I thought that this was a mistake so I made a pull request to remove us from the excluded list (and also to add our instance's category and language).

Unfortunately, the pull request was closed with a comment that reads "No, that is full of CSAM". The thread was locked so I couldn't reply. I tried to reach out to the developers via Matrix, politely explaining that ani.social has a content policy rule against CSAM which reads:

  1. Do not submit content depicting a child (both real and virtual) engaged or involved in explicit sexual activities. A child is defined as a person who is under 18 years old; or a person, regardless of age, who is presented, depicted or portrayed as under 18 years old.

Unfortunately, my invitation was rejected and I did not hear back from them.

Shortly after, I discovered that Lemmy.ml had defederated from ani.social. The last post ani.social received from Lemmy.ml was just after the pull request was closed.

What does this mean?

This means that no user from ani.social can interact with communities from Lemmy.ml and vice versa. This affects those who subscribe to communities from that instance.

This also affects the anime community on Lemmy as a whole because the biggest anime discussion community resides on Lemmy.ml (!anime@lemmy.ml) in which their episode discussion bot, @shinobu@ani.social, is hosted here. It's very concerning that as an anime-themed instance, we're now completely disconnected from this community and other related communities.

This also affects ani.social in the long run as our exclusion from the join-lemmy.org webpage will reduce our visibility. The exclusion from join-lemmy.org and defederation from Lemmy.ml may also prompt other instance admins to defederate from us. Generally, ani.social will be seen in a very bad light.

As the admin of ani.social, I genuinely feel heartbroken after what had happened. Not only do I feel like I'm doing a poor job of building ani.social but I also feel like I've disrespected the work of the Lemmy developers. I really apologize to those who are affected by this. I hope that this is just a misunderstanding and I will do my best to resolve this problem.

which government? there are plenty of those.

[-] hitagi@ani.social 102 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Out of curiosity, other than fmhy.ml, lemmy.ml, and lemmygrad.ml, what other Lemmy instances were using .ml domains? Also, how are the latter two still running but fmhy.ml isn't?

edit: This has triggered a chain of comments I wasn't expecting. I'd appreciate it if someone can answer on a technical level. Is the latter two using a different registrar or name server which is why it still works for them?
