Smash Bros? Plenty of people play it as a competitive fighting game while others just like to goof around with their friends.

Apparently America only elects milk toast centrists or right wing lunatics. Genuinely progressive politicians are completely out of the question.

Because they are deeply insecure losers who only feel okay when they lash out at others.

Unfortunately auto manufacturers have lobbied billions of dollars to make sure that never happens. Plenty of us would love to try it, but as long as money rules politics it will never happen.

Happy to help! :]

I think so. It’s the story of a punk kid who dies pushing a small child out of the way of a speeding car. Because he died committing a selfless act he gets a chance to earn his life back.

This leads to him being a “spirit investigator” where he has to track down rogue spirits and other evil influences of the “other world”. There’s a lot more to the show too, but I don’t want to spoil anything. I’d say it’s definitely worth a watch.

I mean you say “of course everyone deserves equal rights” but the Republican Party actively fights against them.

My best friend is trans and the conservative ideology says that she should live her life in shame, or not exist at all according to some.

There’s just no room for me to want to be nuanced with anyone who supports that message. If you vote Republican then you support oppressing LGBTQ+ people and I cannot be okay with that.

Eh if you want to scratch that itch I’d say just watch Yu Yu Hakusho instead. It’s slow to start in season 1 but it has the best animated martial arts combat I’ve ever seen. Absolutely worth a watch IMO

Idk if you don’t think LGBTQ+ folks deserve equal rights or think that social programs are “too generous” I’m not really interested in how nuanced the rest of you is.

Not saying that’s your beliefs specifically. Just that enough of us are actively harmed by the results of conservative laws and governance that I’m not really interested in knowing the nuanced part of someone who supports those policies.

I fell in love with this game for that theme. It really felt like a Japanese take on Toy Story.

So for me it would have to be the original Dragon Ball tv show. I fell in love with the show around the Tien Saga for how meticulously animated the fighting was. Every punch and kick was seen and the focus was on martial arts. This continued through the King Piccolo saga, which I also loved.

However, I was massively disappointed with the Piccolo Jr saga. To me, it seems like the show switched from being focused on martial arts to generic energy blasts and poorly animated “flurry of blows” that really watered down the quality of the fights. Where before we had well drawn punches and kicks now we had people yelling loudly while blasting energy beams.

I’ll die on the hill that this was a “jumping the shark” for the Dragon Ball franchise that it never fully recovered from. Future DBZ seasons were a bit more creative (thinking of Goku holding Raditz while Piccolo blasted him) but the show as whole never really returned to being about “martial arts” the way it was before.

I feel like an old man shaking my fist at a cloud though, as I’ve yet to meet one single person who misses that focus/aspect of the old show.

The best anime, IMO, are one or two seasons long. Cowboy Bebop is one season and it’s a masterpiece.
