Patlabor is very much Looney Toons.
Today would have been my surgery date, had insurance and credit fuckery not prevented it. I'm now scheduled for 17 September, and I can't do it without your help. Please, consider sending a few dollars my way.

Y'all, I am exploring new directions for my Twitch channel as well as for Friday Night History, so, what are some examples of media featuring Japanese history in any capacity-- books, TV shows, games, film, and so on-- that you'd like to see me give a reaction to?
Let me know in the replies.

In the Edo period, sushi was cheap street food sold from yatai stalls. A piece cost about 8 mon (roughly $0.63 today). Ironically, fatty tuna, which is prized today, was dismissed as low-grade fish because it spoiled too fast.

Want to eat sushi like they ate it during the time of the shogun? A shop in Shinjuku Station is offering this experience for cheap.
