Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

What do you mean? Where would you find fit bodied and mentally stable man who love to take orders instead of anime convention?
Can't they try the femdom convention instead? Those guys are way more pleasant.

fucking misato Evangelion cosplaying there lmao. A series very supportive of the military
milfs, hanging out with your dad, cool robots, flirting with a german redhead, what do you people want
I really think it's just solider finessing their way to go an anime expo on Uncle Sam's dime.
Its that (most recruiters are mid-20s and thus were exposed to and like anime) and the demographic they want to hit is the same as anime cons 18-26 year old male or females.
That’s probably the case when ya think about.
Its certainly that
You gotta keep all the transfems whose eggs cracked while enlisted interested.
Instead of telling the teen weebs they can get a Mustang if they enlist, they are going to give them a "grown-up kiss" and promise to do the rest after (their deployment).
Does this mean they're starting a giant mech brigade?

Hideaki Anno is spinning in his grave rn, and he's not even dead
is anno out of the picture when it comes to selling out the NGE IP? Because I'm pretty sure that one is known for appearing on everything. There was a NGE toothbrush. Either my man is rotating at googolplex numbers at all times or he's fucking hustlin', the US military has deep pockets
I wish them all a very get isekaied into the most hellish fantasy world they can imagine
MISATO WOULD NEVER- ah, who am I kidding, she absolutely would
In Evangelion, the entire fate of the world depends on the ulterior motives of two paramilitary organisations acting independently of the UN and endangering the lives of civilians in the world's last remaining cities so that their superweapon can trigger a doomsday scenario. If there's one thing I took away from Evangelion it was not pro-military.
The Japanese military put on a big show recently where its orchestra played Evangelion music in a grand blue curtained patriotic display. 
call me western centric but the "fortunate son" / "born in the USA" effect transcends borders because it is tied deeply to nationalism
The only place they're less likely to get recruits is a furry convention.
What’s the deal with those 360° photo platform things? Like what does the output look like? Is it cool or just a stupid gimmick?
