can we stop repeating this bullshit that cowboy bebop was some sort of abject failure until the west saved it, when *ALL* available japanese home video release sales data of the time indicates it was a clear success?

<1999 sales data over 10k, showcasing cowboy bebop at 11th in average sales and 3rd for rereleases and total sales

oricon dvd sales data of cowboy bebop's japanese singles from volume 4 onwards, showcasing a range of minimum known sales from around 6.8k units sold to around 11k units sold

aniplex inexplicably deciding to create an official fgo discord *nine* years after launch and having it immediately implode upon itself because they didn't have the resources to moderate it sure feels like a metaphor for something but I haven't decided specifically what

between nintendo's game key cards, and this shit, I'm gonna be having a lot more money to spend on other hobbies (or just older games), especially assuming that this continues into the next console generation so thanks for that, ya'll

In case you are unfamiliar with this animation: it was created by Hideaki Anno, Hiroyuki Yamaga, and Takami Akai in 1981 for the Daicon III festival (they will also make the Daicon IV opening). And a few years later, these three young men (at the time) co-founded the Gainax studio.

Tagging this on here, because holy crap this thread still keeps going! I'm highlighting some upcoming games that might be of interest, and honestly we can all rail against AI in multiple ways, but a great way to do it is highlight and uplift neat games, like all these wonderful looking ones here:

I care that the art I engage with is made by humans, regardless of how "good" the tech may become, that is the underlying contention, that is important to me and cannot be bargained away. I'm sick of hearing about compromise this and middle ground that, do you want to hear my compromise? Remove it.

I am constantly aggravated by this tech, it is foisting so much extra work on me, because throughout the last couple of years, the sheer amount of games using generative AI that are flooding my inbox, many that DO NOT DISCLOSE THIS, is forcing me to scrutinize everything that ends up in my inbox.

Why am I so against generative AI in games? Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.
