And this

Oh Makemeaspark especially this " at the Olympics, they're playing 'Song of the Ancients' from NieR - a game about the spread of a disease that ends up destroying the world."

.....ahaha

sometimes there's a fine line between poetic symmetry and tempting fate...

(relatedly, a part of me wishes for an OVA-length AKIRA anime remake, so it can hew closer to the manga)

How does the manga end? I never had the chance to read it.

I don't know what language that was originally written in, but it does not translate well.

Oh really? I m planning on watching tonight in primetime in the US EST.

Streamer: let me know if there are any cool events at the olympics!
Me, inwardly: does spreading the plague count as a "cool event"?

Rosesrosabella lemme see... I think the ending actually isn't super super different, but like a half or more of the story is carved out of the middle, leaving a lot of bits that don't really make a ton of sense because their context and development were cut out

Was flipping through...South Korean I think? Been finishing up work at home since it is suppose to thunderstorm tonight
