Just want to point out that he used the N word once, got hugely criticised for it, and didn’t do it again.
Not trying to defend nor minimise any of his actions, btw. Take from that as you will. Just want to clarify, as in my opinion your wording kind of implies he did it regularly.

Oh I hadn’t realised that you’re on Lemmy too, @ClearTheLobby@feddit.uk. Thanks for your work!!
President of where
I knew the art style looked like Oglaf!
How did I miss this post?! I have a duty here as a fujo/dan. *rolls up sleeves*
Doukyuusei: This one is a movie. It was the first BL anime that I watched and actually liked. Devoured the manga after.
Given (Season 1): This was a turning point in my relationship with BL. Before this anime, I had only really read/watched old-school rapey BL, so I thought it was always like that (with the exception of Doukyuusei, which I thought was a one-off). This series showed me that BL was much more than that, even though it gets a bad rep.
Yarichin Bitch Bu: What can I say 😅 It’s definitely not for everyone, but I enjoy it because of how crazy and ridiculous it is. Plus it helped me find my #4 pick…
Saezuru Tori wa Habatakanai: The quality of this adaptation is actually not that good, imho. It’s carried by the story and vibes, which were more than good enough to capture my attention and spur me on to seek out and read the source manga.
That being said, there aren’t very many good BL anime, because it’s niche and so whenever there’s an adaptation (which is relatively rarely), the resources it gets assigned are usually low, and so production is subpar. Manga is where it’s at.
Anyway, gonna go rewatch Doukyuusei.
Most of my ebooks are large as they are comics. You also have EPUB3 ebooks now, which can contain images and audio in them too (think combined ebook + audiobook). So they can get pretty large.
… comics and manga, which is another aspect I’ve been noticing calibre does not do such a great job
Absolutely. Calibre is horrible with anything that is fixed format. I recently backed up my entire Kindle library with about 1k manga volumes, expecting to be able to convert from KFX to EPUB format as I have been doing for my regular books for 15+ years. Calibre failed awfully at this. The only thing it’s reasonably good at with comics, is converting to ZIP format. So I had to write a Python script to take the KFX -> ZIP outputs from Calibre and convert them into working EPUB files.
This is what they’re referring to: https://www.reddit.com/r/UNBGBBIIVCHIDCTIICBG/
UNBGBBIIVCHIDCTIICBG is an abbreviation for “Upvoted Not Because Girl, But Because It Is Very Cool; However, I Do Concede That I Initially Clicked Because Girl”.
Info on the series:
I’ve been getting it for 1-2 years now. Won’t let me view most Reddit pages without an account.
You can choose to delete them or leave them, at least in the EU due to GDPR.
For me, I mainly use Bandcamp, 7digital & Qobuz for Western music. Sometimes the artists sell directly from their own sites though; for e.g. I bought Willow’s empathogen album directly from her website.
For Japanese music, I use Ototoy. They accept foreign cards, but for some releases they won’t let you add it to the cart unless you use a VPN set to Japan.
For less available stuff, I sometimes buy second hand CDs from Discogs / eBay / Music Magpie / similar sites, rip and then resell the CD if I don’t wish to keep it.
For new CDs that I do want to keep, I buy from wherever the artist is selling. CDJapan for Japanese stuff.
Finally, I have been waiting for this for so long! Will post thoughts once I can watch in a few hours.
Edit: Few hours turned into a few weeks 🙃
Anyway, I loved it. They’re doing Tomoko Yamashita justice, after the Tri-Coloured Window adaptation was so meh. 🤩
Omg we’re so back
