Me: The Elric brothers ain't shit, I could easily make a woman using alchemy. :neocat_smug:

Them: Oh sure you could. :neogob_glare:

Me: Yeah, they just got the ingredients wrong. All you need is Tungsten, Iodine, and Iron. :neocat_fingerguns:

Them: That's not... Wait a second...

Them: *checking periodic table of elements* :neogob_book:

Them: ... Son of a bitch... :neogob_book_owo:

Showing off my modest anime LD collection: This one is for Metal Fighter Miku. It is sealed, and doesn't have the usual adhesive flap of Japanese media. So I will probably never watch it.
What's nice is these were produced when Digital Audio was standard to pair with the Analog video. It also has CLV playback, giving you 60mins per side.
One cool visual feature is the big image on the back. It's a frame from the ending theme, but Miku's figure has a cast shadow that looks almost like this was from one of the original animation cels.
This series is a pretty basic. But still a cool sythesis of pro-wrestling and magical girl themes.

"Phi. Don't grieve the grave of a man who never lived anyways..."

I've been having fun figuring out the lore that sits outside of the game I want to make. This is the first time Ive gotten to write some heavy story narrative in almost a decade, so I am enjoying myself.
