Don't fall for the onigiri meme. Daifuku though, daifuku are legit. One of the varieties I bought today reminds me of a canned drink I used to get at an Asian restaurant that I haven't been to in probably 15 years and can't remember anything about, oddly enough.

Thoughts on Dies Irae

In an era where fascist ideologies are actually enjoying a global resurgence, “Nazis reframed as stereotypically goofy anime characters” leaves more than a bad taste in my mouth. This episode's cavalier treatment of some of history's greatest monsters ranges from “aren't Nazis cool” to “aw, those charming Nazi girls”—even though this is a prologue episode that's presumably introducing us to the show's villains, charged symbols like these demand far greater contextual and narrative care. The world really doesn't need more reasons to find Nazis sexy or rakishly charming at the moment. * Too scared to answer the door after ordering pizza crew *
* Steal easily affordable things to avoid talking to the cashier crew *
* Sniff really hard when a girl walks by crew *

I agree 100%, burypinkgirl.

Let's get this out in the open: I am Jewish. My family suffered greatly in the Holocaust. Simply put, this show is therefore very, very uncomfortable for me. Although it isn't overtly about the real-world Nazis, if only because there are no swastikas, there's still plenty about the “master race,” the focus character is a blue-eyed blonde, plus it's 1939 in Germany. It's not hard to do that math.

for some reason I don't think the intent of Dies Irae was to portray history * Too scared to answer the door after ordering pizza crew *
