I saw a bad take about "personal info being concealed on a small website".

There are plenty of reasons why someone might not want to make their personal info public, particularly if they are a one man show. Harassment for one.

"Zen teaches us to to actively focus on one thing at a time..."
"Eating, walking, wringing out a wet rag. Just focus on that. It can be anything. "

"So right now, take a moment to focus on eating a piece of candy. This is your entrance into Zen."

"Welcome to your 'Inner Trip'."

🤔The 'meditative drop' is made from gotu kola (Asiatic pennywort) and flavoured with yuzu oil (from fruit grown at the temple).

At the heart of the sweet (letting you know your meditation is over) is cedar powder, believed to help with digestion🍬🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️🧘🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️🧘🙌

💧A DROP OF ZEN (ひと粒の禅)🫴

Today's afternoon snack is a little unusual...a hard candy sold by the nearby temple of Taizō-in (退蔵院).

👅🍬As the sweet dissolves (over 7 minutes) empty your mind, relax your body and experience a refreshing moment of zen😇✨

Our Garden Teahouse sits alongside Hō-zaka (法坂), very close to Ryōan-ji's South Gate.

With the guests gone for the day, and the snow falling, it's a chance to enjoy the gardens before the light completely fades.

The old road that connects Myōshin-ji (妙心寺) to Ryōan-ji, one of its many sub-temples, is known as Hō-zaka (法坂 'Dharma Hill').

In times past the path would be lined with monks going to and fro, but nowadays it is filled with visitors come to see Ryōan-ji's famous garden.

🌨️⛄️SPRING SNOW🍵🌸

There is a saying in Kyōto at this time of year that goes "sankan shion" (三寒四温), "3 days cold, 4 days warm".

I think we may be deep in those 3 days...

Even studios which you wouldn't expect have gone bankrupt.

Evangelion's studio? I think there were a few flops and some other things and they went bankrupt.

Stein's Gate? The developer for the game has gone bankrupt.

I haven't counted it specifically, but it felt like twenty, there were quite a few.

Two titles produced by studios which have since gone bankrupt.

When a puritanical troll watches two titles which virtually everyone knows about and calls themselves a "fan". #anime

Also, it's probably not the anime adaptation that is the main product there. It's the book or the game or something else.

There are generic titles but the fact that there's a generic title out there doesn't live rent free inside my head. I don't watch them so I don't care.

Adapting titles is expensive, so some part is bound to be generic.

Apparently, there are new light novels for Infinite Stratos being published, so maybe there will be another season for that.

I guess that with the transported to another world genre taking off, we're no longer going to get like twenty generic looking titles with the same themes as Infinite Stratos?
