Like that single decision means there are literally millions more videos now with whole extra minutes just to get another ad break or some shit, all taking up space on a server somewhere for no real reason whatsoever other than that every facet of our society seems to need to be its own monument to waste, excess, greed and short sightedness

AND WE "NEED" MORE DATA CENTERS

I thought about this because I found out today Netflix (with WIT Studios animating it) is remaking the One Piece anime and then i saw some nerd video like NETFLIX IS DROPPING THE BALL and was like, oh no! expecting there to be some weird executive meddling, but no, the guy's just super mad that Netflix is going to release all 7 episodes at once, calling it anti community or whatever.

The video went on for EIGHT MINUTES that i didn't watch, and that got me thinking about this shit

Anyway, super excited about the one piece remake personally, even more excited i don't need to sit around waiting for it to drop every week (and wonder where the fuck it is when the Japanese have one of their weirdo holidays).

It's kinda wild to me that it's taken this long, given how tremendously bad the animation and pacing of early One Piece was. It's like they gave the best shounen of all time to one of the worst animation studios. You'd think they'd have re done One Piece before doing Dragon Ball Kai since it's far and away the best selling manga of all time (but maybe dragon ball has made more profit? Idk)

while i'm shit talking Toei i just wanna say I would be FUCKING EMBARRASSED working at an animation company whose animated logo looks the way theirs does, like, off-brand Puss-in-Boots from Shrek looking piece of shit. shameful, bad craftsmanship

now imagine this post was a 10 minute video taking up a gigabyte in some data center in some shithole in Arizona because i needed another ad break for you to skip/block
