GOLD SHIP'S FAVORITE BAND IS PARTY CANNON

Stuff like this is why PlayStation-era Squaresoft might be my favorite game company. That's one hell of a lineup, covering all sorts of genres. I think the only game there that didn't draw me in was SaGa Frontier, and even that was interesting enough for me to play through Emelia's arc.

If you head out to see Umetsu's new anime, Virgin Punk: Clockwork Girl, in theaters, you might just catch a promo ad for Anime News Network! AFAIK, this is the first time we've had an advertisement in theaters!

I take out my trusty Discotek License Prediction tool once again. It has yet to successfully function since it’s just a coin that on one side says “Fuma Conspiracy HD with a Tony Oliver crew dub” and on the other side says “Project A-Ko in 4K.” I ready the coin and flip it but it may land in a truck

ah! tails was right this time. good job daryl

by the way, if you want a spy movie with an A-list cast and director about a weirdo billionaire using AI to make decisions while sporting Nazi-inspired iconography and battling what he considers effete leftism, The Billion Dollar Brain is on Tubi right now.

Don't know too much about Fafner, but @pixeldoesthings.bsky.social said somethin' that immediately inspired me to draw it

It always comes back to this

Kickstarter spells it out in the help subsite: help.kickstarter.com/hc/en-us/art... Try and reach out to Jake. He’s been really responsive to me, and he helped @jikorijo.bsky.social resolve a similar billing issue.

they tell you that dirty pair (1985) has an episode with a trans woman in it, but what they don't tell you is that the antagonist of the episode used her and her fiancee's love of hamburgers to manipulate her

The true Dirty Pair Kickstarter was the friends we made along the way

Finally picked up the Dirty Pair kickstarter set from my folks' place. Apparently one of the disks is mislabeled, but I forgwt which one. Complete fiasco.

So, I backed the dub kickstarter for the Dirty Pair anime remaster a couple/few years ago run by Nozomi Entertainment, and just got the delivery. But there was no box or anything, and missing disks 1 and 3. Did anyone else have a similar issue?

Again, it was intended to be satire, but this Twin Peaks parody of mine accurately predicted the exact date Kickstarter backers would get their fixed Dirty Pair discs. Despite all the undelivered campaign promises, for all intents and purposes… it’s done? forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.php...

Obscusion B-Side #100!!! The Short (But Memorable) Life of Fresh Games For this milestone edition of Obscusion B-Side I take a look back at the label Eidos created for "Quirky" or "Odd" games in 2002... which Eidos then pretty much killed later that same year, minus one "Final" game in 2004.

Especially in comedies, the jokes delivered in Japanese, combined with the voice actors' performances, are incredibly funny—even gags unrelated to the original language. Films like Mel Brooks' Spaceballs had me laughing so hard as a kid I nearly couldn't breathe.

A giant of cinema has left us. RIP Tatsuya Nakadai (1932 - 2025).

This terrible news

Z'Gok duck is always the third wheel...

If you see this, post your bird art! 🪶

I can only express my gratitude that such Blu-rays are being released in Japan.

Mapped out how many live-action shows Discotek's saved from Viz's old Viz Pictures line. I learned 1) It's not much, 2) Viz licensed one movie pre-2009 and one post-2010

Typhoon Fung-wong has blown out of the northwestern Philippines after setting off floods and landslides, knocking out power to entire provinces, killing at least two people and displacing more than 1.4 million others.

So it wasn’t a dream! Whoa GRAMMY-NOMINATED. WOW.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Power got knocked out for a while but it's back on for most of the neighborhood over here (one street's pole got clipped by debris and needs more extensive repair after the wind dies down) so otherwise it was a calm night Anyway, Livestream of uwan coverage so far. m.youtube.com/watch?v=GV6H...

'The Sopranos: Road to Respect' released on this day in 2006. A PS2 tie-in to HBO's hit show. Pits players in the role of "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero's previously-unseen son, as he works his way up the ladder of the New Jersey mafia. Weighed down by boring brawling and shockingly low production value.

How Doujin Illustrators Influenced The Aesthetics of Japan’s Underground Music Culture: Kai Redfield explores Japan's underground music scene and how doujin illustrators have played an invaluable role in defining the aesthetics and vibes of the landscape. #music

'WCW Backstage Assault' released on this day in 2000. From the dying days of WCW comes their last and worst video game tie-in; which stripped wrestling of all its ring-centric mechanics, and re-centered the action entirely around half-baked backstage brawling.

Ok, I’ll make a sign for a Fugazi song

Funny Coca-Cola meme that was apparently spotted on LinkedIn

'Highlander: The Last of the MacLeods' released on this day in 1995. An action-adventure adaptation of the animated Highlander series, released on the ill-fated Atari Jaguar CD. Contains clunky controls, poorly plotted progression, and deeply frustrating combat encounters.

I specifically held off on watching Kill Bill for my entire adult life because I hit a point where I wanted my first experience to be this version of the movie. I finally gave in and watched them a few months ago because my wife wanted to watch them with me and I figured it'd never release...

I know so many people who had their egg cracked by FFVII that it's almost a meme among my friends.

"yeah but they didn't shove any of that down your throat" take a shot every time Barret talks about the planet or mentions Shinra, corporate greed, or HOW HE HAS A FULL STORY ARC ABOUT LOSING HIS ARM

“0% woke shit” a black man with a physical disability leads an environmental terrorist cell trying to save the planet from mega-billionaires and you play as a cross dressing twink femdomed by two different women ending and the final boss against the gayest angel of all time

The big difference between Trump's first term and second is that he didn't burn down a strong economy with tariffs last time around. It's a lot easier for voters to overlook his bigoted nonsense and authoritarian bluster when they feel good about material conditions.

Media Blasters update video: Mostly about AnimeNJ++ next weekend (sounds fun) Also, Kamen Rider Dyad is in replication youtu.be/234Ou9wcr7k?...

This is a solid read for those who are looking for a better handle on AI situation in localization space right now. Specifically in regards to light novels.

for perspective, I was a sad, lonely person in a dead end, abusive relationship who gamed, watched anime, was very online - a prime target for the grift. the way out - for me - was an acknowledgement that my rote, set role as 'male' in a relationship made me unhappy. and I think that scares men.

I think one reason masculinist podcaster types got so inflamed about trans people over the last few years is insecurity that more lonely men may rather transition than be sold supplements by a bald baby man. the very idea of being able to prevent being a lonely, sad man cuts into their bottom line.

Back when FUNimation used the heck out of alternate angles and seamless beaching on the DVD’s. I always thought it was a really cool use to show Japanese and English title/credits/etc. but it did end up tanking the video bitrate.

Sick coal miners deep in Trump country fight back, saying they are being suffocated by government policies aimed at helping industry while stripping away worker health and safety regulations written in blood over decades.
