Indiana Court of Appeals rules in favor of watching anime on YouTube:
Forbidden by the terms of his probation from accessing obscene material, Michael Bedtelyon landed in hot water with his probation officer after watching sexually suggestive anime cartoons. The court concluded the material constituted obscenity and revoked four years of Bedtelyon's suspended sentence. On appeal, Bedtelyon argues that the State failed to prove the videos constituted obscenity as defined by statute. We agree….

Bedtelyon was convicted of Level 4 felony sexual misconduct with a minor for criminal acts he committed with a 14-year-old girl he met on a dating app. After serving part of his eight-year sentence, Bedtelyon was released on probation. As a term of his probation, Bedtelyon was "prohibited from accessing, viewing, or using internet websites and computer applications that depict obscene matter as defined by [the Indiana obscenity statute]."

Through software required by the terms of his probation, Bedtelyon's probation officer learned that Bedtelyon had viewed several anime videos on YouTube with concerning titles, including: My Mother and Sister Pretend to Be Expecting My Babies After I Lost My Memory; I Seduced My Cousin and Let Him Do Everything He Wanted; and I am the Seventh of Sextuplet Girls and I Am a Boy. After viewing these videos, Bedtelyon's probation officer determined they were obscene and therefore violated the terms of Bedtelyon's probation….
Quote
The videos were not admitted into evidence, and we cannot determine that the court actually viewed them. Instead, the court relied on the testimony of Bedtelyon's therapist and probation officer who watched the videos and obliquely described the content. Their testimony reveals that the cartoons feature "provocatively dressed," though never naked, women. The animated characters all experience incestuous attraction. Overall, the evidence suggests that these videos might have erotic themes, are erotic in tone, and describe erotic feelings. But the State did not present evidence that sexual conduct as defined by statute was depicted or described, rather than merely implied.

In the first video, My Mother and Sister Pretend to Be Expecting My Babies After I Lost My Memory, the titular mother and sister pretend to care for their shared brother and son. Bedtelyon's probation officer testified, "At some point he impregnated them both and they were carrying his children." {Bedtelyon testified that neither woman was actually pregnant, which the video's title corroborates. Considering only the evidence in favor of the judgment, however, we accept Bedtelyon's probation officer's description here.} The sister "was clearly in love with him."  These details suggest that the video heavily implies incestuous sex but not that such sex was depicted or described. This is so even though two of the characters become pregnant. Without evidence that the video showed or recounted the act leading to conception, we cannot say the video depicted or described sexual conduct.

The second video, I Seduced My Cousin and Let Him Do Everything He Wanted, features an "attractive" sixteen-year-old girl telling a story about her crush on her sixteen-year-old male cousin. "After great efforts of trying to seduce [him], he ended up spending the night with her cuddling, kissing all over."  The two begin dating and wrangle with how to disclose their relationship to their family. Again, none of the actions depicted or described satisfy the statutory definition of "sexual conduct." "Kissing all over" could describe "other sexual conduct"—namely mouth to genital contact—but it could also describe behavior squarely outside the bounds of the Sexual Conduct Statute. Where multiple witnesses testified that the characters were never nude, and there was no testimony that any character exhibited their genitals, it is too great a deductive leap to determine that this testimony describes the sexual conduct the Obscenity Statute was intended to reach.

The third video, I am the Seventh of Sextuplet Girls and I Am a Boy, stars sextuplets, the seventh of which identifies as a boy. {Careful readers will notice that sextuplets are only six, not seven, siblings. The record contains no explanation for this discrepancy.} By the end of the video, two of his sisters fall in love with him.

They are feeling his bulgy muscles. They are continuously all over their brother to the point where they make him feel uneasy about the situation. They end up sleeping in his room … And I think at the very end of the video, the brother wakes up and actually finds his two sisters in bed with him. And, you know … they are sitting there smiling.

This video, too, fails to depict or describe anything more than implied sexual intercourse. That the sisters were "all over" their brother and "in bed with him" alone is not "sexual conduct" as defined by statute. The content is certainly suggestive, but suggestion of sexual conduct alone cannot constitute obscenity. If sexual suggestion alone triggered the Obscenity Statute, censors could train their scopes on clearly constitutional expression, from great literature to soap operas to internet memes.

Bedtelyon's probation officer conceded that the type of sexual conduct forbidden by statute was left to the viewer's imagination, describing the videos as largely "thought provoking" and "intended to … provoke … deviate thinking." Bedtelyon's therapist testified that the videos were concerning because their content "feeds that deviate fantasy."  But matters that encourage deviate thinking are not necessarily obscene—which Bedtelyon's probation officer also acknowledged when he testified, "I guess where I said obscene maybe doesn't necessarily make it illegal." Here, the probation officer is right. The United States Supreme Court has limited regulation of obscene materials to those that "depict or describe patently offensive 'hard core' sexual conduct specifically defined by the regulating state law, as written or construed." …

The Initial D car popped up for sale in GT7 and I remembered my friend who was really into Initial D. That was in high school. Those were VHS fansubs.

Fuck, Initial D is old. Doesn't feel like that long ago, just feels like Naruto/Bleach kind of times, but it is. Makes me feel old.

Never knew anybody else who watched the anime. But between the arcade game and music, friends were oddly big into Initial D as a broader franchise. Goes hand to hand with general car culture passion of the time.

Saw one of those on the street in Osaka last week. That’s impressive when one considers the “sha-ken” scam that the government uses to pressure Japanese people to buy newer cars.

I remember going to an anime club when I was in HS. It was in a gym or community center, and they were watching laserdiscs imported from Japan by the senior members of the club, and VHS decks were daisy-chained from the LD player, with the "junior" members of the club having their VHS decks on cable splitters, further generations away from the source. I enjoyed the anime, but there was clearly some geek hierarchy they were trying to enforce, so I never went back.

Power Antoinette 2022

"If the people don't have bread, let them pump iron!"

The queen's proclamation echoed across the Place de la Révolution. Chased from her palace and sent to the executioner's block, Marie Antoinette exploded in anger at the people who were basking in the euphoria of the Revolution. The people she loved were no more.

The muscular queen (of France) Marie destroyed the executioner's block and confronted the revolutionary horde, wielding the guillotine she had taken from them!

"I am France. The one and only France."

This is a story of rebirth. Muscles only become stronger after it has been injured.
The story of the strongest queen who reversed the French Revolution with her own strength!

Japan loves bringing nostalgic items back. There are even many modern cars here which are designed to look like models from 3 to 4 decades ago.

Dragonball Z Kai is basically a retelling / re-edit for clarity, remastering, bringing to a current audience with current attention-level constraints.

Evangelion is being trotted out again and again, trying to tell the same story repeatedly.

Urusei Yatsura here is just re-doing the series, from what I can see. Maybe it's like DBZ Kai, and a retelling with a purpose.

About a million years ago I was majorly into Trigun. I’m of that generation. The old anime adaptation took liberties and diverged from the manga. Thinking this’ll be a Hellsing, FMA Brotherhood, and HxH 2011 type of re adaptation sticking to the letter.

Can't tell if this is gonna do a version of the manga story. Some people are saying it might just be a prequel story of Vash & Knives leading up to the anime. Which could be fine but still would be a shame not to do a proper Trigun series like FMA Brotherhood. I guess they can gauge interest with a prequel season?

Fuuuuuuuuuuuckk I didn't know he was that old. :( Edit- Wait he died snorkeling??

Yu-Gi-Oh! was an absolute pillar of my childhood. The anime was meme heaven that birthed YGO The Abridged Series, the manga's influence is still felt today, and the TCG gobbled probably too much of my childhood time and money. And I still play -- Master Duel on Switch and Steam has been amazing. But we're never getting that DSOD sequel now (one of my favorite anime films ever). :(

Rest in peace. :( :( :(

Catching up on some of the (bad) more recent Gundam I've skipped. Finally watched Gundam NT/Narrative.

So, it wasn't as bad as I expected. I thought the action was generally good. The story is nonsense, but then so was Unicorn and that was alright. The mechs were all just crappy clones of Unicorn or ugly like the Phoenix Gundam. Movie was ok enough I guess, but it really felt like it needed more room to breathe/develop the story/cast. I think this was the one where it was supposed to be a full length show and got truncated into a 90 min movie? Definitely feels like it.

Also pretty sure F91 was same deal. Bad movie, nice animation, meant to be a TV show and instead is a super rushed movie without much development.

Gonna watch Twilight Axis next. At least it's only 26 mins...

Gundam Twilight Axis was pretty bad. Originally released as a bunch of web shorts that were 3 mins each, I watched the compilation movie and the pacing is really terrible obviously due to 3 min ep limitations. Pretty hard to follow and more ugly mecha designs (coffin gundam is super bad). Oh well.

Out with the Ryan Murphy deals, and in with the modest-sized bets on cheaper, “stickier” animation and anime fare.

...Demand for animated content has grown consistently over the last several years, making up just over 7 percent of the total global demand share for content in 2020, according to research firm Parrot Analytics, where I work as director of strategy. On top of that, demand for adult-oriented animation and adult-oriented anime has consistently grown, with a projected global market share of $43.73 billion by 2028, according to global marketing research firm Brand Essence.

Something positive, maybe.

Rare anime I watch is what’s on Netflix, because it’s there. More is good.

Isekai Ojisan on Netflix is pretty fun. Gag show about a nerd returning to the real world after years in a magic fantasy one. Most of his concerns revolve about Sega.

It makes no sense and doesn't it retcon the explanations given in Dragonball Z?

Which as far as I remember had a few
- The Saiyans power greatly increased every time they survived a near death experience
- Once Goku figured out how the Super Saiyan transformation worked the others could train to achieve the same
- Mixed race Saiyans are stronger than pure blood Saiyans (Gohan/Goten/Trunks)
- The Hyberbolic Time Chamber sped up their training even more so than the conditions on Namek did

Hope he’s healthy and continues. Anime fans can be vicious, tho. For a minute after Miura passed, people realized the toll these things take, and vowed to not be bratty towards Togashi et al. That didn’t last.

If anybody else reads One-Punch Man, sounded like Murata might stop soon. Or take a long break. It’s an unusual undertaking. Covering and expanding One’s web comic. People got mad about it.

Anyway, in the last issue they announced One-Punch Man anime season 3 is coming. And Hollywood is making a live action movie.

Yeah, I watched it. Thought it was alright. It's no IBO ep1 and the animation isn't on the level of the recent movies/OAVs like Unicorn/Hathaway, but it's not bad. Will watch the show for sure and keep expectations in the middle.

Some people really liked it tho.
