It's a screen capture from JoJo's Bizzare Adventure with an uno card photoshopped in @Alex C. The art style in JoJo is a bit different from your typical anime. Also, everyone seems to eat nothing but protein and spend all their off-screen time working out. These guys are huge!

 

I'm not far enough into the series to tell you what scene that is though.

 

I've been collecting Anime since the 80's. I think I started with the original Bubblegum Crisis.

 

Hugs!

There's that time whiplash again. Though my parents started me with Gigantor, Kimba the White Lion, 8th Man and Transformers, I didn't really start till Pokemon, Digimon craze days. Wouldn't be long after till I was a well versed Otaku hunting for those box sets of Naruto before it was even looked at by official translators. Loved how inclusive, yet not-inclusive Japanese entertainment can be.

OMG, I used to tune into Kimba every day when I was short. It was on the .5 Watt UHF channel coming out of Detroit (seriously, you'd get a bad signal if you could SEE the tower from your front porch) so it took a little luck and some squinting to pull it in. Gatchaman (Battle of the Planets) came later. I want to say 1978 or so. I was so hooked. Sometimes you could score some Speed Racer early in the morning, but that was hit or miss.

 

Now I have a Funimation subscription. The hobby changed a LOT in the last forty years.

 

Hugs!

Holy hell fire, I forgot Speed Racer...palm slap forehead. My mom specifically loved my dad cuz he looks like Speed Racer. So much anime. I tend not to do subscriptions, only have so much money, but have a bunch of free streaming sites and then there's always torrents. Plus, I could get better quality torrents than what the streaming sites allow, yeah I have to delete stuff after a while cuz saving it on my computer only has so much room for HD quality stuff. I need to buy a new back-up drive before my shows go missing. So much tech watching. But I don't miss the signal antenna TVs had regular tv till 9/11 then got direct tv then the real fun started. Never had cable.

Osamu Tezuka started lots of people into anime. For me, it was through Unico in the Island of Magic in a vhs taken from the Disney Channel late 80s. That movie is seriously not for kids, but is at the same time. 

 

Oh, and speaking of anime. Gotta love Team Rocket.

Same here. It especially resonated with me since due to various reasons, my family moved house 3 times before i graduated high school. Every time, it felt like i was being whisked away by the West Wind. But it also meant that i got to make new friends.

I always loved Team Rocket for that! 

My friends in high school and I were getting shipments of untranslated bootlegs of Naruto long before it came out in America. 

 

I think I first got into anime watching the various Gundams. My favs have been Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell. 

 

Unrelated, but here's another wholesome meme from my collection

I just found this one. I'm gonna try using it as my new set of answers to those questions i keep asking myself when i start spiraling into self-doubt and overthinking, trying to make myself fit into a specific box or label instead of looking for what makes me feel most comfortable. Try to focus on the inside instead of the outside for a change.

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.

      Love it! This is great news. We need more of this to combat the excessive hate-filled rhetoric and misinformation. 👍

      The experience was the same for me @April Marie. I slept much deeper and I woke up each morning feeling so much more restful sleeping with forms solidly in place. For me, wearing breast forms at night started when before I was a teenager. I had no access up to modern breast forms and certainly no way to buy mastectomy bras back then. I wore a basic bra my mom had put in a donation box and two pairs of soft cotton socks. I have some crazy memories of things I did in my youth to combat my GD but regardless, these makeshift concoctions helped me work through it all.   All My Best, Susan R🌷

      Colorado isn't exactly a Republican place, and won't become one anytime soon.  I think those folks might be better off not spending their time playing Don Quixote.    We certainly have our share of California "refugees" moving into where I live, so I wouldn't be surprised to start seeing Coloradans too.  I suspect the trend over the next few years will see the blue areas getting more blue and the red areas getting more red as anybody who can relocate tries to find a place where they fit better.
