Some surreal and stylish imagery from the cartoon Judo Boy/Kurenai Sanshiro

Kurenai Sanshiro #10 Sanshiro braves the illusory castle of Sandoria, where he faces various traps set by an ancient king. Directed by Hiroshi Sasagawa, it's one of the most surreal & delightfully eerie eps in the series, making fantastic use of silhouettes and limited lighting.

Kurenai Sanshiro is a constantly experimental, visually ambitious show, and this episode is no exception. One of the most notable parts is the scene where Sanshiro walks through a dark corridor, his silhouette being the only window offering us a glimpse of what's inside the tomb.

I also applaud how surreal visuals don't detract from telling a story about a martial artist honing his skills. As Sanshiro sits in complete darkness, trying to catch silently falling waterdrops, our field of view is also limited to further showcase how focused he is on the task.

Backers of the massive data center campus say at full buildout it will consume 9GW of electricity, more than double the entire state of Utah’s current energy use. They say they intend to burn fossil fuels on site to make all that electricity. Box Elder County will vote on the proposal Monday.

Kind of a perfect metaphor for the media and the role they've played over the last ten years

The "If" endpapers are from the book "If Apples Had Teeth"--lots and lots more scanned art from books and games and more at the site.
