Steins;Gate gets quite dark and serious, but it starts out pretty goofy, so if you're trying to avoid comedy it would leave a pretty bad first impression. I don't think I would recommend pushing yourself through the earlier parts to get to the later parts either, because you do need a certain attachment to the characters to appreciate the latter.

Vinland Saga, from what you've written, seems more up your alley. In a similar vein (bloody serious historical fiction) I also recommend Orb.

Other than that, Pluto and Monster, both thrillers based on manga by Urasawa Naoki, are very straight-laced.

Actually, I wonder how light would interact with something that is infinitesimal in width, but does have a significant amount of depth. Have any experiments of this kind been done with graphene or something?

The biggest issue with the three-pedalled bicycle is that humans have, at most, two legs.

I would argue that's actually the last situation you'd want to use an LLM. With numbers like that, nobody's going to review each and every letter with the attention things generated by an untrustworthy agent ought to get. This sounds to me like it calls for a template. Actually, it would be pretty disturbing to hear that letters like that aren't being generated using a template and based on changes in the system.

It's weird, it feels kind of like watching a Japanese dub of an English-language show, which I haven't felt even with other adaptations of works originally in English. I guess it's because it also uses the visual language of the comic? Pretty luxurious cast, though.

Anyway, the writing isn't very good. A bunch of things just don't seem to make any sense; the dumb incident at the office it sends half the episode or so on, the whole deal with the rating of the protagonist's game by the streamer. Still not sure what the show is about, either, but I don't think I have the motivation to find out.

I will hate the game and the player, thank you very much. Even under this system, other choices could have been made that are neither illegal or financially nonviable, so Monsanto is very much responsible for the choices they did make. They're not victims of the systems, they're gleefully pursuing everything the system lets them get away with.

Of course, if you want things to change, it is indeed changes to law and government incentives that need to be pursued. But in order for that to happen, you need enough people to get upset about the current state of things, and for that you need concrete examples. And it doesn't get more concrete than this.
