"Oreimo director says the anime industry is in a downward spiral"
https://animeisdead.wordpress.com/2014/05/26/fanimecon-2014-hiroyuki-kanbe-qa-panel/
Q: As someone who’s sort of seen both sides of the process as an animator and director, what’s your opinion of the current state of the anime industry, particularly in regards to the bad working conditions for animators? How can things improve?
A: I’d say the the anime industry is definitely spiraling downward, and as a genre Japanese animation might disappear. Of course, there’s still directors and senior staff who put in the best effort and quality into making a good anime, but the number of talented animators is dwindling, as less people want to become animators. I desperately want to change this mentality. It seems like more young people want to become idols and voice actors these days. I’ll do whatever I can to change it though.Q: Which project are you most proud of?
A: OreImo.This is the most hilarious thing I have heard all day

The worst part of being an adult is being so intimately familiar with your own bullshit yet consistently succumbing to it over and over because you’re apparently not ENOUGH of an adult to overcome it.

"I was shooting heroin and reading “The Fountainhead” in the front seat of my privately owned police..."
“
- (via powerburial)
I was shooting heroin and reading “The Fountainhead” in the front seat of my privately owned police cruiser when a call came in. I put a quarter in the radio to activate it. It was the chief.
“Bad news, detective. We got a situation.”
“What? Is the mayor trying to ban trans fats again?”
“Worse. Somebody just stole four hundred and forty-seven million dollars’ worth of bitcoins.”
The heroin needle practically fell out of my arm. “What kind of monster would do something like that? Bitcoins are the ultimate currency: virtual, anonymous, stateless. They represent true economic freedom, not subject to arbitrary manipulation by any government. Do we have any leads?”
“Not yet. But mark my words: we’re going to figure out who did this and we’re going to take them down … provided someone pays us a fair market rate to do so.”
“Easy, chief,” I said. “Any rate the market offers is, by definition, fair.”
He laughed. “That’s why you’re the best I got, Lisowski. Now you get out there and find those bitcoins.”
“Don’t worry,” I said. “I’m on it.”
I put a quarter in the siren. Ten minutes later, I was on the scene. It was a normal office building, strangled on all sides by public sidewalks. I hopped over them and went inside.
“Home Depot™ Presents the Police!®” I said, flashing my badge and my gun and a small picture of Ron Paul. “Nobody move unless you want to!” They didn’t.
“Now, which one of you punks is going to pay me to investigate this crime?” No one spoke up.
“Come on,” I said. “Don’t you all understand that the protection of private property is the foundation of all personal liberty?”
It didn’t seem like they did.
“Seriously, guys. Without a strong economic motivator, I’m just going to stand here and not solve this case. Cash is fine, but I prefer being paid in gold bullion or autographed Penn Jillette posters.”
Nothing. These people were stonewalling me. It almost seemed like they didn’t care that a fortune in computer money invented to buy drugs was missing.
I figured I could wait them out. I lit several cigarettes indoors. A pregnant lady coughed, and I told her that secondhand smoke is a myth. Just then, a man in glasses made a break for it.
“Subway™ Eat Fresh and Freeze, Scumbag!®” I yelled.
Too late. He was already out the front door. I went after him.
“Stop right there!” I yelled as I ran. He was faster than me because I always try to avoid stepping on public sidewalks. Our country needs a private-sidewalk voucher system, but, thanks to the incestuous interplay between our corrupt federal government and the public-sidewalk lobby, it will never happen.
I was losing him. “Listen, I’ll pay you to stop!” I yelled. “What would you consider an appropriate price point for stopping? I’ll offer you a thirteenth of an ounce of gold and a gently worn ‘Bob Barr ‘08’ extra-large long-sleeved men’s T-shirt!”
He turned. In his hand was a revolver that the Constitution said he had every right to own. He fired at me and missed. I pulled my own gun, put a quarter in it, and fired back. The bullet lodged in a U.S.P.S. mailbox less than a foot from his head. I shot the mailbox again, on purpose.
“All right, all right!” the man yelled, throwing down his weapon. “I give up, cop! I confess: I took the bitcoins.”
“Why’d you do it?” I asked, as I slapped a pair of Oikos™ Greek Yogurt Presents Handcuffs® on the guy.
“Because I was afraid.”
“Afraid?”
“Afraid of an economic future free from the pernicious meddling of central bankers,” he said. “I’m a central banker.”
I wanted to coldcock the guy. Years ago, a central banker killed my partner. Instead, I shook my head.
“Let this be a message to all your central-banker friends out on the street,” I said. “No matter how many bitcoins you steal, you’ll never take away the dream of an open society based on the principles of personal and economic freedom.”
He nodded, because he knew I was right. Then he swiped his credit card to pay me for arresting him.

gentlemanbones: gentlemanbones: The doors to the lab are open!...
The doors to the lab are open! I’m taking commissions for Pokémon of any type - competitive ready, breeding pairs, or just a specific piece of cute you’re after. Prices are set at $3 a Pokémon - or $5 for a breeding pair. I can make anything from Gen 1 through 5, and can breed you a good Gen 6 Pokémon but it’ll cost you extra.
I can make shinies, or put a ‘mon in any kind of ball it can legally be in - like Premier or Luxury Balls for extra flash, or the rare Apricorn balls if your Pokémon of choice appeared in HG/SS. However, I won’t make anything that isn’t otherwise legally obtainable; i.e., Shiny Jirachi, or starters/fossils in anything besides a standard Poké Ball.
For $1, I can also put your Pokémon through training; give it the EV spread you’re after, or max out its PP and level. I can also teach any TM/HM move, or teach a forgotten move via Heart Scale.
For 50¢, I can also sell you any single rare item, such as the following:
- Discount Coupons
- Ability Capsules
- Lansat/Starf Berries
- Leftovers
- Any Mega Evolution stone you want/need
On top of that, any Pokémon you order from me will come with a complimentary hold item, usually the one it may need for battle, or an Everstone/Destiny Knot set for breeding pairs.
All prices are in USD, and payments are made through my PayPal @ sonicteamtoadie@hotmail.com. You can contact me through the following channels to discuss orders and payments:
- Skype: gentlemanbones
- Steam: gentleman_bones
- AIM: PretentiousBones
- Here, through Tumblr asks
My Friend Code is 5112.4246.0058, so everyone can see it. Once you know what you want, be sure to give me your own, and as soon as I have your payment and your order ready, we’ll do the trade ASAP. Thanks for your business, in advance!
I can also now offer Enigma Berries, and will temporarily be accepting Steam Summer Adventure cards as payment; one card will get you one X/Y backpack item from me, a full set of ten regular cards will pay for a whole Pokemon (complete with hold item of your choice), as will a single foil card that I don’t already own.
