Don’t forget that Crunchyroll is also owned by Sony, who have basically picked up a monopoly on anime streaming services by buying out all of the competition. Aniplex, Funimation, Crunchyroll, Kadokawa, all under the Sony umbrella.

Just not to worry about them, explaining a bit more about their relationship with their producer.

If that is truly the case, then it is just a bit potentially concerning that you might be codependent on this person, given the extent to which your conversations with others keep circling back to them.

I am not one to judge others on the way they want to live their lives, so it’s all good as long as you’re happy and safe.

But if you happen to feel like this person might be restricting your autonomy or that everything has to revolve around them, it might not be a bad idea to reach out to other people you can confide in for some support.

Ok, forgive me if this sounds offensive, but I am legitimately curious. Is this “producer” that you mention in almost every single post just a pseudonym or alternate personality that stands in for you? Like is this a dissociative thing, or just a bit you’re doing, or…?

The very first sentence of the article and the body of OP’s post mention this is being made for Crave, so not a Netflix series.

If you’re referring to having customizable icon silhouettes, Android has been doing that for a while with Material Design, which has gotten old at this point.

I don’t believe any desktop environment behaves similarly because they don’t have a dominant app store and OS-level app standards encouraging design compliance like Android/iOS do.

It was $15/mo before it’s first price hike, too.

And before that, a lot of people were taking advantage of the Xbox Live Gold conversion deal, where folks were getting access to GamePass Ultimate for $60/year.

I once spent $180 for 3 years of GamePass, and now that same amount only gets you 6 months.

Reminded of the time when RuPaul put the fear of God into Jimmy Fallon.

The man is spineless and clearly doesn’t know how to navigate any subject he sees as too touchy.

That and Defiance were trying to capitalize on this short-lived trend of cross-media projects. They failed because along the way of trying to make both a show and an MMO at the same time, they forgot to make either of them good.

RIP Alaska and half of New England (and presumably Hawaii as well).

That season was a fairly close adaptation of The Last Wish, which is a collection of short stories in the Witcher universe and explains why the first season was more fragmented and episodic.

It is the first book in the Witcher series and sets a lot of the very formative worldbuilding details that resurface later on, and so it makes sense for it to be the first season, but subsequent seasons would have to be different.

From my anecdotal experience, I think more people liked the first season than the ones that followed. But I don’t think it was necessarily because of the shift from episodic plots to the serialized season-long plots that followed. I blame the fact that the writers for the series felt they could write better than the original author and started doing their own thing with it.

Original writing can be good, and there are definitely some parts of the Witcher books that haven’t aged well (or simply wouldn’t be good fits for TV), but the TV writers took a chainsaw to the plot when they probably should have taken a scalpel, and if that happens too early and too severely in a story, it just snowballs and gets worse from there.
