If I could find a version with better dubbing, that would be great!

Am I Too Old for Animé?


Love, Death and Robots Love, Death and Robots

I watched Howl's Moving Castle on Netflix a little while ago. I've been meaning to do so for a while. I know it's a cult classic and a seminal work of Animé (like Akira and Spirited Away), but it just didn't appeal to me for some reason. I'd suggest that maybe I'm getting too old to enjoy animated content, but I don't think so, since I binge watched Love, Death and Robots (also on Netflix) and thoroughly enjoyed it, with its stylistic differences from one episode to the next. I guess it's just a matter of personal taste and some things just don't appeal to mine.

Still on the subject of good/well-loved Animé, I loved Death Note, but I am reluctant to watch the live-action remake in case it's lame or stupid (which might ruin it for me). I won't know unless I watch it, though.

One thing I do want to watch is Neon Genesis Evangelion, but the English dubbing for Shinji's voice gets on my nerves and there seems to be only one version in English. Perhaps if I could learn to speak Japanese and get hold of a non-dubbed version, that would be great (but that's unlikely to happen).

In other news, I've reactivated my Torum account as part of my move away from Noise and Tangled. However, I'm not sure how to go about earning Torum tokens on the platform (or what to do with them once I have). That's something into which I should look at some point.

I'm currently seeking fixed employment as a S/W & Web developer (C# & ASP .NET MVC, PHP 8+, Python 3), hoping to stash the farmed fiat and go full Crypto, quit the 07:30-18:00 grind. Unsigned music producer; snarky; white; balding; smashes Patriarchy.

SW/Web developer: ~12 years of C# (yay!) & ASP .Net MVC, Java (blargh!), Python (woot!) experience. I'm currently hitting faucets and writing for crypto to stake/invest . | I work part-time with animals. Sadly, my cerebellum and medulla oblongata aren't Einsteinian in proportion. However, I possess a Brobdingnagian vocabulary and get by with being a barbigerous logophile. I can probably write you into bed, if smashing Capitalism and Patriarchy turns you on. Kink is political!
