I guess it's a sequel to Assault Girls Kentucky which is a short film that is up on youtube. I think someone needs to go and put together the continuity between all of his live action films. I swear one of the characters in Assault Girls is one of the dine and dashers from another film
Sarah Horrocks (@mercurialblonde.bsky.social)
I don't get why Assault Girls was made. But I think I like it. It's very bare bones.

He's not wrong. Both parties have been complicit in making the president into a king. You can draw a straight line from the Patriot Act and Citizens United to this. Most of the solutions people have had for this kind of thing too have been along the lines of "a King is fine if it's my King"

You could probably do an edit of the series that is exactly that. The flashback episodes were such a waste of resources.
Sarah Horrocks (@mercurialblonde.bsky.social) reply parent
Gquuuuuux would have been better if it got rid of all of the flashback episodes, and just did slice of life with a big action scene at the end of every episode. Which is something you can say about all of his post FLCL work.
Sarah Horrocks (@mercurialblonde.bsky.social)
Beginning to understand why Gquuuuuux didn't quite meet my expectations...whoever told Tsurumaki that he should be spending decades doing mecha franchises instead of doing more short slice of life things like FLCL badly dropped the ball.

FLCL "Firestarter" is maybe my favorite singular episode of anything. I always start rewatches of FLCL with it.

Maybe the soul exists in 4D or 5D or something
Sarah Horrocks (@mercurialblonde.bsky.social)
I do think consciousness is non local. I think it's like a temporal spider connected to other temporal spiders feeding time into the universe. But without the connection to the body it dissipates. It requires a certain kind of consciousness in the same way that you have planet eaters/meat eaters.

But for someone outside looking in, the person is the same. Only the internal has changed.
Sarah Horrocks (@mercurialblonde.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah i think something like that too. Though I'm not sure the soul is in the brain, I think your soul relies on the relationship to it's whole body. Maybe it would be better to say internal sense of self is preserved in the brain? But just transporting the information is just making a copy

Sarah Horrocks (@mercurialblonde.bsky.social) reply parent
So since you can't move the soul bringing the synthetic to the soul makes more sense to me.
Sarah Horrocks (@mercurialblonde.bsky.social)
The whole idea of putting a human conscioness in a synthetic body does my brain in. To my mind it means you died and a synthetic has stolen your identity. But then I dont feel the same about cyborgs. Maybe the difference is adding to vs moving? Maybe I see the soul as immovable
