The article is an excerpt from the full report, which comes out next month.

But they aren’t just preferring cheaper sources, they’re funding production houses that crank out music cheaper than it would cost to pay a single artist, and then putting that “mass” produced music on playlists that they themselves promote, allll to avoid promoting actual artists and paying them potentially more than they’re paying the production house.

It’s in terribly bad faith because I myself am an artist that distributes through Spotify, not only because I can reach the widest audience, but I’m hoping on some level Spotify is promoting my new music to people outside of my own purview. But they aren’t. They’re flooding the market with cheap music and only promoting it.

My brother has one that I eventually got, and at the time it was the easiest way to save phone numbers, which was a side function.

Just found it, here’s a few other niche “older” anime:

Real Drive - one of my favorite shows that really shows how far technology could go in the future.

HeatGuy J - another sci-fi futuristic one that premiered on Toonami in 2002; the premise is similar to Blade Runner

Dennou-Coil - this one deals with augmented reality, and it is what I think we’re getting closer to the more companies invest in AR. It’s also well animated and family friendly.

The Big O - another one that premiered on Toonami 20 or so years ago, I used to make the joke that The Big O was if Batman was an anime with mechs.

Desert Punk - I won’t spoil much; post apocalyptic dark comedy.

Aaaaand one of my favorites with one of my favorite anime openings ever:

Kyouran Kazoku Nikki - regular dude gets thrown into a marriage with one of the most powerful beings to exist

See you in a year!

Did you delete your reply? I was going to read it again but can’t find it. I have more recommendations if you want, let me know!

Canaan was the shit! Try finding fans of Bubblegum Crisis, Noir, Eatman, or Bakumatsu Kikensetsu Irohanihoheto; 90s anime kids don’t get together and have rewatch parties lol
