The hill I will die on is that almost everybody complaining about Lanolin completely missed the entire fuckin point of her character

I saw a scant mention of the Dirty Pair Kickstarter in reference to Crunchyroll’s ongoing tomfoolery, and thought it’d be a good idea to reshare my investigation into the situation.

Last I knew it was a Regional Brewery (between 15,000 and 6,000,000 barrels/year), which still makes it a craft beer by definition but like, admittedly that's not th most useful metric.

Maybe not the worst on a technical level, but holistically, Akikan made me decide that I should probably be watching less anime.

Also, just a reminder that its Bandcamp Friday and y'all should go out and support the musicians who make the music that you love. Most of the music on The Bonus Stages can be found on bandcamp. Also, this excellent new album from Mother Iron Horse that dropped today (this is heavy)

As for why Lanolin ? Cause she's my favorite IDW original character. What do you suppose is her genre of choice? I think its gotta be liquid dnb.

I failed to post after the show last night (10pm is past my bedtime!) but The Bonus Stages has excellent new show cover artwork (and a new logo!) thanks to @stardroplet.bsky.social , who has been great to work with. You can commission them over on vgen (vgen.co/stardroplet) #vgm #dancemusic

Thank you all so much. At 160 people backing #Arisan we're less than $3000 from funding. With less than a week left I know time's a factor, but I appreciate all of you for your help. If you can continue to share and support as you can, it would mean a lot: www.kickstarter.com/projects/526...

That one (Dropkick) is actually outside the Gai, across from Godzilla, apparently theres a different wrestling bar in the Gai I havent been to. Either way still paying that Kabukicho premium. Anyways, hope y'all have a blast, I was in Japan only 5 months ago but it already feels like an eternity.

DJ_LvL @djlvl.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

Cant imagine its gotten any better over the years, some of those theme bars can be quite pricey. I had fun watching wrestling at DDT's bar but man, definitely paying a bit of a premium.

And dont forget that tomorrow is #bandcampfriday, a large proportion of the music you hear tonight can be purchased on bandcamp, and buying on BCF ensures the musician see's the highest percentage of your dollar.
