Found a drive through in the backrooms. The service is shit.

Finally picked up a set I’ve wanted for years: a mold-free Ghibli ga Ippai LaserDisc box set, with the rare Streamline Kiki’s Delivery Service dub! Kinda bought my LaserDisc player last year with the primary purpose being to play this set…

We've kicked off our annual funding drive for Pride. We're matching everything we raise through Patreon and Ko-fi this month (up to $750) with a donation to The Trevor Project. As a publication founded by a trans woman, we're proud to stand with the LGBTQIA+ community Link: hera.fyi/funding2026

Barber of Seville at S.F. opera last night. Long ass play but incredible staging and full-camp performances that elevate writing which is still sharp 200 years later

Earlier this week, we revealed Anime Herald Magazine's second issue. This handsome edition will feature cover art by Tim Eldred and design by Katy Castillo. Order today to ensure that your copy's in the first shipment. 💖 Preorder: hera.fyi/buyahmag2 Bundle (1&2): hera.fyi/buyahmag2bun

Sure, I can do #RandomGameSaturday! Here's Namco Museum Vol. 3 for the PlayStation! Most of these games have been reissued elsewhere many times, but this collection has a few neat extras, like a hint book for The Tower of Druaga and a museum featuring, among other things, Pac-Man's toilet.

Evangelion was a yearly-release first party franchise for Sega during the Saturn era, it makes too much sense!

"Dancouga Blu-ray re-release is expensive!" I agree, list price of $100 is ADV boxset days but still a good value for what you get. Looks like we are unfortunately coming out of the "I'll try that for 35 bucks" era of vintage anime just the same. For Dancouga though, look what the alternative was...

As I slowly go through and remux all the videos in modern bitrate for the almost decade-long run of my Vintage Anime panel, I am as always incredibly grateful to those who share clean rips of vintage anime. Doubly so to those who label and document their torrents properly.

Just watched Assemble Insert, a mostly forgotten OVA based on a Masami Yuki manga The plot makes no sense, the budget was seemingly ¥11 and some pocket lint, it’s so 80s it hurts and it’s absolutely hilarious. Highly recommend tracking down the Right Stuf DVD for like $15 youtu.be/4TQugiLxneY?...

First guest announcement for AnimeNJ! #animecon #animeconvention Register today! www.animeNJ.com

There's a whole bunch of Tatsunoko anime coming to Hidive this month (six, to be exact), and unlike Gatchaman & Casshan from prior months most of these are much lesser known. So here's a quick rundown of what each one is about, for those curious!

Hey everyone, we have our big Town Hall reveal for Anime Herald Magazine #2 on TONIGHT, at 8PM Eastern / 5PM Pacific! Everyone's been working hard to make this one even more amazing than the first, so be sure to check it out. Details: hera.fyi/ahmag2up1 Preorder: hera.fyi/buyahmag2

OCN is releasing the Gits documentary? Holy shit vinegarsyndrome.com/products/the...

Dendoh METEOR chapter 1, part B, is out in English! (Same link, scroll down to the latter part)

Big civic engagement day! I voted in our local primary elections, and watched a video webinar organized by @standupforscience.net about fighting back against the administration's full-scale attack on US scientific research.

The only secret is how much I loved The Nib and missed it, and was able to recruit Matt (and designer Mark Kaufman) to be part of a Matt-celebrating book that features Nibbers! Niblings?

🎵 Midnight submarine 🎶 I can't believe Future Police Urashiman is going to stream again. Sentai let it die on the vine years ago. Koten_Gars actually ripped the subs and released a 1080p version in 2018 (96.7 GB)! Largest single show torrent I've ever grabbed. This is a stupid fun series.

Looking for new projects for the rest of the year! I have samples ready to send, so if anyone has anything open, please lmk! RTs appreciated

Oops, this was supposed to go on my account. Too many social media accounts on my phone.

Happy Pride! So I heard you need more gay in your bookshelf. Let's talk about sword lesbians and how I came out of the closet at an anime con on Disney property in my debut book, "The Fangirl Diaries" by your new favorite chaotic femme she/they author! info here: scarlet-rhapsody.com?page_id=22298

New podcast is up! Did you know there was an Emily of New Moon anime? Did you know it was forgotten everywhere except in Arabic-speaking countries, where it is still a huge hit today? @miketoole.com, @skyorkis.digital and I chat about the show, which we all enjoyed! www.zannen.ca/2026/05/epis...

Emily of New Moon is overlooked. @tmsanime.com oughta put it on their YouTube channel, if such an option is open to them.

This will be the first book length analysis of a single comics panel, by @glennf.com based on my Mr. Gotcha comic w/ remixes, essays, and new comics. We have 10 days left in this Kickstarter with $20k to go. If you're curious (!) now is the time to back it: www.kickstarter.com/projects/gle...

If you've ever wondered "What happens after the ending of Maison Ikkoku?" this animated clip can give you some idea. Created for the Maison Ikkoku pachislot game in Japan, this animated ending depicts the decades after the series' ending. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFKq...

Spectacularly amazing cosplays at FanimeCon 2026!

Then something for all the shoujo fans... Hana Yori Dango TV! One of the big shoujo classics is here, with upgraded subtitles & the English dub! Plus the 30 minute-long anime film!

Hi there. How's going in bluesky people?

First up, a return to a much loved franchise... Digimon Season 3! (Digimon Tamers) The English dubbed version of Tamers gets a solid HD upscale, like our prior Digimon TV releases. Just in time to watch it for its 25th anniversary! Digimon Tamers subbed will come later.

It is pride month, and I don’t yet have even a vaguely gay anime in the AnimEigo catalog. I’d better change that. 🤔 (No announcements planned til AX tho)

Speed Racer: The Complete Series Blu-ray Collector's Edition - August 25 gruv.com/collections/... www.amazon.com/dp/B0H1JPXMFQ

Let her cook.

Today’s discovery: this delightfully retro site dedicated to the long-dead Ani-Mayhem TCG. The best part? It’s still getting updated, as recently as December 2025! www.ani-mayhem.com

This new fansub is leaps and bounds better than the old one. I think the old one had been partially based off an ancient VHS fansub. I guess I should also preface that Mellowlink is way more violent than the rest of VOTOMs. Has more of a wandering gunman western vibe as well. Classic revenge story.

I think Devilman Lady still holds up and is my favorite of all the Devilman productions. And since Jun is a supermodel in the anime, it also counts as part of the idol subgene. 😆

Thanks to @nicknickgoose.bsky.social for alerting me to this Sailor Moon budget rerelase at the Kinokuniya booth at Fanime. I've literally lived down the road from the SJ location since it first opened, so I usually don't dig through their booth. I bought a second for the future panel prize pool.

The is going to be a fun release. #tokusatsu #ladybattlecop

Both sessions of Vintage Anime Name That Year at FanimeCon 2026 were very close, the final scores don't tell the whole story. Session A was looking like a tiebreaker was imminent (I was getting prepped) but contestant 3 held them off. Session B was much the same, wit some back and forth to the end.
