Do they rename the Major? She's supposed to Major Motoko Kusanagi right?
also is it bad that this trailer vaguely makes me want to watch the show/movie a little more than i previously did
She goes by Motoko Kusanagi, but the original manga noted that this was "an obvious pseudonym" or something to that effect. It'd be like an English spy giving her name as "Jenny Excalibur".
THAT SAID, using the fact that she was something of a constructed identity in the original, as an excuse to whitewash the role, is just a really skeevy move.

I think part of the thing is that it needs to show in X amount of anglosphere theaters before it can be considered, so it kinda just got screwed on the timing.
Legitimately one of the best films I've ever seen though. Not that I'm a hardcore cinephile, but god-damn.
I didn't know about the tonal shift at all, which I think helped a lot.
Reports are that Little Witch Academia is going to take a week off and then start airing its second half immediately, as opposed to being a split cour like was originally reported. There's still a new episode this week but I think they're taking off the week after that.
SO HEY IF YOU WANNA CATCH UP ON THE BEST SHOW THIS YEAR NOW'S THE TIME JUST SAYIN

there is or at least was at some point a place in the world where you could buy what appear to be Ai Mai Mi stickers out of a fucking vending machine and that blows my goddamn mind
I really like that article on Mayoiga - though I like all of Bobduh's articles - but it still makes me feel weird about the show. Down for horror comedy, down for riffing on the point of everything, except shows like that where you're trying to create A Bad Version Of X can still be hit-and-miss with me, and Mayoiga was primarily a miss. Ah well.
Looking at: BnHA S2, maybe an episode of Warau Salesman, Sakurada Reset, Sakura Quest, Clockwork Planet, Zero kara, Alice to Zouroku after it's been vetted, Fukumenkei Noise, Tsuki ga Kirei, Ancient Magus' Bride OVA 2/3.
I know nothing about the other one but that one is based on a novel by the author of The Tatami Galaxy and The Eccentric Family, which are both must-sees.

OH MY GOD THIS IS GOING TO BE A RUNNING THING NOPE NOPE NOPE

note: neither this post nor the one immediately above should be construed as excusing whitewashing
I need to start this.
Still hype as fuck.
