Toei Took Down My Youtube Channel

Not that it was ever a part of this blog anyways, but Toei issued three copyright strikes against my Youtube channel three days in a row, so now it's gone for good. I only used it for posting funny or cool short tokusatsu clips for a few years now, so I don't know why they decided to suddenly take it down when they were still running ads themselves on the clips. Regardless, it looks like it's unretrievable. 

If I ever start a different Youtube channel for something else I'll announce it, but for now I'm not gonna bother with setting up a new one.

The Importance of Big Cool Sci-Fi Stuff

I finished watching Turn A Gundam recently, and it’s already cemented itself as one of my favorite Gundam shows and anime in general. But one detail I appreciate is that, even with its Americana setting, it still works in some interesting, immense technological set pieces that give a great sense of scale to the show in the portions where it heads to outer space. To put it bluntly, I appreciate it when science fiction has what I like to call “Big Cool Sci-Fi Stuff,” both for the novelty but also realizing the unique potential the medium has to create a unique sense of wonder.
