One of my favorite YouTubers made a video about playing the Kingdom Hearts games for the first time so I couldn't resist. It's just refreshing to see that even now, people can pick up the games, play through them and enjoy them the way that the rest of us that got into the series proper did years ago.

No, this is not me trying to write up some hackneyed creepypasta, this is a thing that actually happened. This is just a little bit of Disney/Pixar/film history I thought I'd share with you since there doesn't seem to be a thread of it already made on the site. So, do you remember how in the first Toy Story movie Woody was kind of a jealous asshat but still likable enough for us to sympathize with him by the end of the movie when he and Buzz Lightyear make up? Well imagine if he was a full on dick. Like, Lotso-esque. (In fact, I'm pretty sure the version of Woody you're about to see served a little inspiration for Lotso.) See, that was the original intention for his character, and the film itself was actually very mean-spirited in general because it was originally a more cynical, edgy take on a kids film. Yeah. One of the earliest forms of "edgelording" in film, I'm sure. This was all ordered by then Disney chairman Jeffrey Katzenburg by the way. You know, the guy who left the company some time after and went on to make Dreamworks which then spawned the cynical fairy tale potshot fest known as Shrek? Makes sense now, don't it? And that leads us to the "Black Friday Reel", a test screening of the movie done on, what else, Black Friday, specifically November 19, 1993. This was way before the animation process even began, so the entire thing is shown in storyboards with voice acting. Here's it is in full: This, of course, got backlashed by pretty much everybody down in Disney and even by John Lassiter himself (if the opening clip of the video didn't give it away ) and the entire film was re-written into the more homely smash hit blockbuster we know it as today. Imagine the timeline where Pixar and Disney decided to go ahead and stick with the original vision. Not only would everybody in Pixar be out of a job, but literally everything that Pixar has accomplished since this film would not have existed. All because of edge.

Just something I wanted to share to ring in the new year and look back at all the crap we had to deal with this year through the perspective of one of my favorite YouTubers.

... Well... if you just close your eyes and listen to the voice acting, that is. Although, the ending sequence might be a bit awkward.

Well, this is a first. I'm actually making a thread about a series that I've finished. But yeah, I just got done with the anime, so I decided to make a thread for it (also considering I couldn't find a thread for. For those of you who don't know, "Black Lagoon" is an anime/manga series by Rei Hiroe about a team of pirate mercenaries called the Lagoon Company, that smuggle goods in and around the seas of Southeast Asia in the early to mid 1990s, with the series also being featured in other real life countries and locations around the world. Its got lots of action, gun-slinging, gore, blood, dark themes, and overall, its a really serious and mature series. So if you're looking for something that's a little more heavy set in real life and not too silly like, say, a shonen series, then this is for you. I personally loved the anime. Studio Madhouse did a great job with the animation and the overall presentation of the story. I haven't read the manga yet, but I intend to. Also, there's this 5 episode OVA series that adapts some more story in the manga so I'm gonna check that out too. The only complaint I had with the anime is that ended after only adapting 43 chapters of the manga. To be fair, though, the ending did leave room for the series to continue, and though it might be a long shot for it to get more episodes, it's still possible. Also, I've heard from other fans that the whole "realism" vibe was ruined by a few over the top action scenes at times, but eh, this is anime. You can't expect it to be that realistic. lol I also heard them say that they like the first season better than the second because the first is a little more comedic, and while I agree that the comedy is good in this series, its not what I personally care about, so I can't really agree with that. Besides, there was more character development and serious vibes in the second season than the first, and I thought it sent the message of the show better that way. So then, if you guys are interested, check it out. All the episodes are available for dub and sub, and so is the OVA series, and you can find manga translations online for the manga. Be warned: from what I've seen, the process of releasing new chapters and volumes is very slow, so you might want to have some patience. Other than that, have a blast. Literally... t-that's a gun joke... Bang. *shoots*
