Besides its shitty animation the Naruto vs pain fight is easily the best of the 2. Like someone else said Sasuke growing hand wings is lame asf
You should really watch some stuff about sakuga and why the animation looks the way it does. That animation director worked on pretty much every good fight in the series.

Both Naruto V Sasuke during retrieval and Pain v Naruto were the same key animator. You're comparing his works against each other.

He also did Sasuke v Orochimaru which gets memed on a lot as well, but is one of the best fights in the entire first part. 3rd Hokage vs the first two Hokage as well. He did so much great work.

Atsushi Wakabayashi, if you were wondering

I'm not touching it.

I kind of see where Google might want their data for models, though . Reddit has a decade of user to user interaction that's rated positively or negatively BY USERS, that seems hugely useful on a surface level. However, reddit is a scumsucking one-upmanship/karma farming cesspool where a lot of the interactions are centered around being as corny and jokey as possible for fake internet points; I don't see that being really representative of true human to human interaction and I have doubts about it's value as good training data.

Also, artist work gets posted on reddit without the permission of the artists all the time. Even if reddit claims in TOS that anything posted is fair game, it seems legally shakey that they actually have the right to monetize the works of others by offering their work up as AI training data.

Tbh, I was under the impression that The Boy and the Heron was one of Miyazaki's more "eh" movies from a story perspective. The thing is, the Oscars does have a little bit of politics in play where, legacy + lack of wins can play a part in a movie winning.

I also don't really think the animated Oscar has nearly the same prestige/weight as the other awards.
You should watch it and decide for yourself. I think what you get from it depends on how much you know about Miyazaki's life and career ahead of time.

It's a Miyazaki movie, his movies get the Pixar treatment when it comes to the Oscars. Though I agree, I would've given Spiderverse the animated movie of the year imo. The Boy and the Heron movie was alright. The premise is interesting and I did enjoy the "boy meets mother" angle but I thought the execution was pretty bad. Still has gorgeous animation though. Spiderverse was just an amazing movie overall that blew me away, though I will admit I was a little sour when it wasn't a "complete" movie.
It's more than just it's plot, it's semi-autobiographical and there is a lot of metaphor for things that took place over his life/career. it's not a very "face value" movie, but it is excellent.

i think so. maybe not in a year, but the next few years. the actual job market is strong, but I think there's going to have to be some level of reckoning in the near future. there's only ever been one economic soft landing, it's more likely that a recession will happen. no matter what the lines on charts say, the reality is that a lot of people are struggling to afford food and housing at the moment, and at some point the market will have to reflect that reality.

japan and U.K. are already in recession, China is on the way. might be wise to save some money, just in case.

I think there should be enforced treatment, not jail time. But having recently been to Portland, it's a huge problem. I think they decriminalized right as fentanyl was starting to take off, and it just completely demolished people out there. I understand why they stopped, and I understand why they're starting again.

Same issue as removing juvenile detention centers and bail reform. It's completely half assed, they eliminate these things without having a clear and well supported alternative. You cannot half ass these things.
