In typical Aaron Boone fashion, he got outmanaged because he had a gamescript that he wasn't going to deviate from. He took the bat out of Rice's hand, had asinine reasoning for taking out Fried, and swore by the "WeaverWilliamsBednar" battery because "that's the lane." #yankees #nyy #newyorkyankees

Wrote about the end of CITY: The Animation and how it once again raised the bar of brilliant animation, design, music, and sheer imagination to breathe life into Arawi's world. Many thoughts about an all-timer production & how it might connect to KyoAni's future blog.sakugabooru.com/2025/09/29/c...

Review of KyoAni's "CITY THE ANIMATION" "When a piece of media vibrates at just the right frequency, it radiates warmth even in its moments that affectively “don’t work.” anilist.co/review/29424 myanimelist.net/reviews.php?... #kyotoanimation #kyoani #citytheanimation #anime

The more older stuff I see, the more the whole "I don't like how older anime looks" take gets worse and worse. From: Toki no Tabibito: Time Stranger (1986) Dir: Masaki Mori Animation credit: Umetsu Yasuomi

When I started doing this years ago, I never would have thought I'd see 100 subs, let alone 1000! Thank you to everyone who finds my content worth your time. Hopefully, I can keep up the good work moving forward :) www.youtube.com/@znotetakure...

Adding to "these people really don't understand anything they pretend to be passionate about": Exhibit one million of people assuming that a writer in anime has orders of magnitude more decision power than they do. Forget the author's vetoing power, the director could stop anything before that check

Finding Kyoto Animation IV: Munto Kigami's passion project is cool. Let's talk about that! youtu.be/usgSpsXpyxo #kyotoanimation #kyoani #munto #anime #kigami

About this Witch Hat Atelier vid: Anime projects (like anything with that big a scale & involving so many parties) can spend several years in talks before meaningful work is done, let alone before reaching a point where the production is regularly ongoing. The boundaries between those stages is hazy

Ravens gonna Ravens! #bills

Keiichi Arawi is an all-timer cartoonist, but episodes like #09 show CITY's team (including himself!) attempting to best him. The magnetizing effect of consecutive spreads becomes one (almost) single cut that draws you in just as much, even more packed with chaotic energy than it was before. Insane

New video on #TwelveKingdoms / #JuuniKokuki Trust in the world is at a premium! I hope you enjoy! :)

Andrew Scott is a contemporary artist renowned for his bold "frame-breaking" creations, where characters in his paintings seem to penetrate through glass. Through this unique creative approach, Scott explores themes of freedom, solitude, and resilience. Artist: @andrewscott_art #art #visualart

If you're going to review a show that has been done to death, actually offer something different for once. The universe does not need YET ANOTHER review of "Your Lie in April" that talks about it as though it saved Christmas or ended world hunger.

Finally public! Ridiculous collection of veteran talent (Takahiro Kishida designs, Takuya Sato scripts, Takashi Mukouda action, Yuji Kaneko art direction, hell even Kutsuna as director counts!) in conjuction with some younger folk who Get their styles. Cool stuff www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRju...

Don't know where I'm going with this, but... An otaku trend that I am sick of is characters making overt references to game / otaku convention, as though remarking on it is somehow an automatic comedy dispenser. "Meta" has become so beaten into the ground that it seemingly has no meaning anymore.

12 episodes in, and all I can say is that, so far, the 1999 version of #HunterxHunter is vastly superior to the 2011 version, and it isn't even close. Aside from its aesthetics, it is a great case study in how filler / digressions can actively improve upon the material in nearly every way.

A friend of mine, @thehornswoggler.bsky.social, is helping to crowdfund an independent film in their hometown. If this sounds like something you'd be curious about, feel free to drop a little something to help them out. www.indiegogo.com/projects/fea...

Last time he was listed for genga in a TV episode was in 2014, and only because someone else directed it. You have to look back 22 years to find him credited for animation in an episode of his. Once KyoAni took off, people like him & Ishidate embraced Kigami's approach of self-uncredited animation

Wrote about the intersection of fascinating careers (a crazy producer, an undervalued director, the most textbook rising anime studio) that led to the Takopi anime, and how their attitude aligned with the show's wish for communication among disenfranchised people blog.sakugabooru.com/2025/08/15/t...

Happy ChaO release to everyone who chooses to forget this

As @das.moe so said, GIVE THIS TO GOHANDS, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD I WILL LOVE THIS FOREVER IF THAT HAPPENS!!! Surely they will save anime once again!

You think the CITY anime can no longer surprise you, and then Keiichi Arawi himself shows up to compose the music for one skit. The relationship he's built with Ishidate and the rest of this team is the best thing to ever happen

One of CITY's greatest achievements is pushing veteran artists to tackle new challenges. Joji Unoguchi started as an in-betweener in the 80s, became a leader of KyoAni's budding BG art crew, then spent decades as art & 3DBG director His role in CITY #05? Creating a diorama to set the episode into

The Summer Hikaru Died's sound director Koji Kasamatsu has been working exclusively on the highest profile anime films for decades. I believe he's making a difference, though it'd be moot without the show's directors helping turn haunting drawings & comic stylizations into sound and new imagery

"With the overwhelming presence of violence in the children’s everyday lives...a seemingly immutable truth is conveyed: violence is the response to circumstances beyond a character’s control..." #takopiioriginalsin #takopiinogenzai myanimelist.net/reviews.php?... anilist.co/review/28803

Can't we skip the flute part and just tell me you've denied my claim already

Last night's loss against the #bluejays by the #yankees is the perfect example of the past several years. Lack of baseball fundamentals, lack of quality at-bats, overly reliant on the home run - it's a cobbling together of guys rather than an actual team. A bit of an unsorted rant incoming.

Taichi Ishidate said that rather than forcing anyone to laugh, CITY's goal is to endear viewers to a cast of weirdos… and if by doing so they find themselves laughing, that's true success. Riko's intro embodies that: lovely rendition of someone's life flashing before their eyes with a hilarious turn

It's only been off the air for a short time, but I miss "Apocalypse Hotel" and its genuinely sweet setting and cast in the lovely twilight of post-catastrophe Earth. At times super funny, at others serene and calm. Serious AOTY contender <3 I reviewed it here on AniList: anilist.co/review/28338

I miss this show so much already, and seeing Yachiyo fanart makes me the happy one :)

Glad they made the executive choice of not stretching Takopi to one full cours. Not because that would make it a worse show (it would), nor because it would risk overusing the fundamental constrast in perceptions (it might), but rather, because sitting through 12 weeks of this would erode my soul

This meme sees me, and I feel so attacked XD

don't leave me GQuuuuuuX.....(´；ω；`) #GQuuuuuuX #ジークアクス

Print reviews for "GQuuuuuuX" "They knew this process...would be an alienating one, but it’s a risk they took on with full knowledge of that. Gundam at its best has always taken risks, be they narrative or metatextual." myanimelist.net/reviews.php?... anilist.co/review/28327

Print reviews for Apocalypse Hotel: "And I can think of no higher compliment that I could give Apocalypse Hotel than I would give anything to check in to a room there for a time, or perhaps even work there as an employee." myanimelist.net/reviews.php?... anilist.co/review/28338

"Mobile Suit Gundam: GQuuuuuuX" as a phenomenon is so fascinating, in part because it's a series in which the director, Tsurumaki Kazuya, has been quite upfront about what he hoped its legacy would be, but it's being lost in the dearth of the ways we typically understand media analysis.

Print review of Shoushimin S2: "Shoushimin season two cares about how the detective perceives themselves and their interactions with the universe as actual tangible objects and spaces...You found the truth, but what actually happens here?" myanimelist.net/reviews.php?... anilist.co/review/28280
