While I Haven't Heard Of The Last Show Here (not Even From My Editor), These All Seem Like Good Shows.

While I haven't heard of the last show here (not even from my editor), these all seem like good shows. Sometimes, adult animation really does live up to its name beyond crassness & am quite glad this is happening more outside of the 'western world' & my mother's home country (where it's long been done in seinen & jousei form).

adult animation appreciation post bc we've got some good shows lately

Bojack Horseman

a lot of us know it and love it, but for the ones who never got around to it, PLEASE watch it at some point in your life. it has so many good storylines centered around depression, addiction, sexism, repercussions of child abuse, and the daily struggles of living in this messed up world that we all know and can relate to. it'll punch you in the gut with some of the most unique storytelling you'll see in your life

Tuca & Bertie

created by the lead character designer of Bojack, this show may seem like a spinoff from the look but it isn't in the slightest. created and starring amazing women and letting women be funny in their own unique way that feels so genuine and following the story of these two crazy bird friends, I cannot tell you the emotional rollercoaster this one took me on. our mains struggle with anxiety and sexual harassment, with some great queer rep, and the stories are so fun and inventive that you can't help but have a blast

Final Space

I could talk about this show for DAYS, but I already have in this post so I won't go on a massive rant rn. it may look like a normal little scifi comedy show at the beginning, but this show'll blow you away with plot for days. if you want an action show that has consistent storylines, here ya go. it's so heartfelt, and it has stories revolving around coping with loss and loneliness by building new connections and new families, and it rips your heart out while leaving you shook over how great the animation and the soundtrack is

Castlevania

this one is insane. it is super gorey and violent with tons of swearing, but if you like that stuff you'll love this one. vampires and action with some stunning animation drags you in quickly, and the plotline is actually really good and you'll end up feeling for the characters so hard. their struggles are so investing and even if there's blood every second, it still manages to hook you quickly and wanna know what happens next. still haven't seen the new season yet, but I bet it's great

Primal

created by Genndy Tartakovsky, the legend behind Samurai Jack, so you already know this one is good. it's a short miniseries but whoo boy is it good. the animation is so nice, and this one is so unique. following the story of a caveman and a dinosaur becoming unlikely companions after loss, there is no dialogue. that makes it such a unique experience and it gets so emotional with some pure raw emotions that just crush you

The Midnight Gospel

the newest addition to the family, created by Pendleton War, the genius behind Adventure Time, this one messed me up in ways that I can't even put into words yet. it's an animated podcast with crazy trippy animation behind it and holy shit it is so unique. it takes time to process everything going on, but once in you get in the flow of it it hits you with emotions. following a guy who goes into a simulator to different worlds to interview people for his spacecast, expect for some great discussions of the struggles of hoping, coping with loss, and meditation. take your time with this one, it is so beautiful and funny

adult western animation is finally swinging up, and these are only some of the good ones. thought it would be good to advertise how not adult animation is ugly and just gross humor all the time, because people are finally telling stories that only adults can understand and relate to and feel, and I for one am absolutely here for it

Generous Colorado Landowner Returns Ancestral Land to Tribe

After discovering Native American ruins on his land, white man gives it, and his house, back to the tribe that once lived there A Colorado landowner was inspired to return his land to Native Americans three years after purchasing it and being “haunted” by the “spirits” of its “rightful owners”/guardians.

Now isn’t this heartening to find? My editor has shown me this & now I can see how greys really can be shown.

Google introduces Woolaroo, a tool for learning indigenous languages

With many indigenous languages worldwide becoming endangered due to a dwindling number of native speakers, Google has introduced the app Woo

Got this from my editor, looks to be a pretty useful way to get it more accessible & publicly involved especially for Native learners & speakers to keep it living on in the long run.

Some help for fellow denizens despite disparate backgrounds.

Good day everyone. Its me again, Maria. I will never get tired of asking help for my family, just a little recap: From the start of the pandemic I was laid off on work and because of all the people who helped me and my family, I was able to helped my brother in his last days, he is a dialysis patient but unexpectedly passed away last Nov 13, 2020. I was able to provide food for my family, my mother, brother and 8 kids, they're my nephews and nieces who is orphan. We were able to live in a safer house because of the donation i received from all the generous and kind people. Its 2021 and there is still no sign on when the pandemic ends. Im asking again your help for donations for food, medicines and bills. I promise to give back to people in need when I can. 😭🙏❤️

I guess the efforts to convert old human material wouldn’t be an awful effort to help along in something like #TeamCorals after all, since those can be foundations for new growth. It goes to show that the surrounding life’s adaptations usually work out for the better, especially since long term survival majorly factors in said adaptations.

If anyone wants to go veg (vegetarian or vegan) & can afford to do so, please support them no matter what their kind is, but know that specialised eating is a first world luxury outside of cases where they stem from Indian religious scriptures. Veganism (especially of the all-organic kind) would often turn out to be very impractical, as is very much the case back in my homelands. Try to eat locally if you can, but the occasional partaking with traded foodstuffs won’t necessarily hurt & it would be even better to start growing at least some of your own stuff from scraps to rack up the savings made.

What’s even cooler is that most of said produce don’t necessarily need much space or even soil (yes, soil-less growing is way cheaper & easier than many may think) & can definitely encourage growing locally by neighborhood gardening (if possible). All I’m saying is that ye should try to support yer local food sources & make some efforts to grow some stuff yerself while getting to know the already bestanding (existing) edible plants & food sources to supplement yer needs & making them usable. My editor (who isn’t particularly wealthy) does this very much, so why can’t we use the growing seasons we’ve got for such as part of hobbies (in sundry kinds of growing)?

I used to be vegan and anyone who is vegan or cares about factory farming, colonization, or why veganism is not the way to go (and why locally sourced foods are the way to go) should watch this video <3
