I think Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Part 1 fans need to realize that the film was never going to have a chance of being nominated at the Oscars. The academy has always, even if it's very little, cared more about "original" Japanese animated projects over franchise stuff.

Really glad my tin foil conspiracy of Elio getting a To Leslie-style redemption tour was actually not that far fetched. Should have gone to 100 Meters though.

Time to finally see if this Marty is supreme or normal. #martysupreme #filmsky #A24 #timotheechalamet #joshsadfie

It’s great when we can get early ideas of what’s coming out this year for animation. This looks visually stunning.

RT if you’ve never had a tab of ChatGPT open, period.

You can tell we are about to have bad weather in Texas because of the man made of objectively literal pig vomit overly stuffed into a tube sock Ted Cruz some again abandoning his state despite the fact he should technically be helping it.

Time to check out some zombies, idols, and aliens! Luckily, they are all in the Saga prefecture of Japan! #animesky #crunchyroll #anime #zombielandsaga

I want to hear us discuss Lupin the third, and a little bit about @gkids.com bringing over the new Shaun the Sheep? We’ll take a listen!

Saddened by the passing of director Roger Allers, who will certainly be remembered by THE LION KING. But I also love his ambitious omnibus project KAHLIL GIBRAN’S THE PROPHET, where he brought together animators from around the world including Tomm Moore and Bill Plympton. RIP

It’s Sunday and the world is burning, but you can’t fight if you’re burned out, so take care of yourself. Read. Create. Check on your friends and family. Spend time with your pet. Go for a walk. Watch a movie. Eat tacos. Hope you have a good one.

I really need a lot of YouTube essayists to really stop using the "YouTube video Essay voice". I understand you are trying to sound professional with your videos, but you sound unnatural, and it's way more distracting than it is engaging. It's so bad sometimes.

All you need is love to kill. Second time seeing this movie since Animation is Film. #allyouneediskill @gkids.com

I love Medalist, but I do find it hilarious that Medalist can get a movie first, but Yuri on Ice has basically struggled and given up on ever getting a movie.

Seriously, if you haven't seen the two recent CGI films, or the The Big Fight adaptation on Netflix, they are wildly charming and creative. Also, the dub for the films has some noticeable voice actors for those that are fans of Canadian dubs for anime and Ed, Edd, n Eddy.

We have been watching all of the Asterix and Obilex animated movies and shows we can and this is my new favorote big boy in media! (Also, if an ANNO 117 dev follows me, did y'all get inspiration from the series?)

Everyone should be sending Alamo Drafthouse emails nonstop about how bad their new mobile-only ordering is. It's really bad that they are doing this, y'all. Or just don't order anything, or be cheap af and just order a water before the movie. This is such an asinine decision.

A huge misconception bad animation fans have is that everything needs to be fluid and animated at 24+ frames at all times when animation can be wonderful at any budget or frame rate if you got amazing and well timed execution of your limited animation. Always a great example of how less is more.

I would feel bad that Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, died, but I don't care. I'm more focused on making a fun editorial about the fact that Elio has had a bit of a redemption tour, and that's taking up more precious space in my brain than some mediocre guy who died mad that people hated him.

Time to see what’s attached to this dead man’s wire. #deadmanswire #film #filmsky

Watching Zombieland Saga to prep for the movie. Imagine getting hit by a truck in an anime but instead of being sent to a fantasy world, you get enrolled as an idol in a literal zombie idol group and metaphorically worked to death in the brutal and horrifying idol industry.

Even if the director is stepping back lightly due to burnout from S1, I'm still hyped for Frieren S2. But the industry 100% shouldn't be burning out its talent through absurdly unrealistic and brutal working conditions. I would rather wait longer if it meant the creatives were paid/treated better.

Enjoy a brand new episode of Renegade Animation! This time, @camseyeview.biz, @crazylemur.bsky.social, and I share our thoughts on the nominees for the 53rd Annie Awards, plus a little 2025 catch-up!

I understand if they couldn't get the rights to them fully, but it's a shame GKIDS couldn't do a big Whole Bloody Affair release of the Lupin IIIrd Specials that lead up to The Immortal Bloodline. You must see those specials before the movie.

Hey, Alamo Drafthouse. The entire reason people go to Alamo Drafthouse is the fact that people get reprimanded for TAKING THEIR PHONES OUT DURING THE MOVIE. No one wants this. No one wants to see people's phones lighting up in the theater. Just pay your damn employees better.

It's great that folks are finally able to see this. Too bad most critics groups and most folks ignored it until it got a release back at the literal end of 2025 on Netflix. It truly deserves more award noms than most films getting the nominations this year live-action and animation-based.

When I was at Animation is Film, this short played in front of Little Amelie and made for a great companion piece for that movie. A really ethereal short that is full of charm. Definitely give it a watch.

"100 Meters" is currently the 6th most-watched non-English film worldwide on Netflix 🏃 x.com/NetflixAnime...

It's funny, every time Rob Schneider opens his mouth, he never says anything correct. Plenty of republican-leaning actors are still getting work. You just suck as a person and as an actor. People just don't give a shit about you dude. He should get a real job.

Just got done watching train dreams and now onto my next catch up movie. #filmsky #jaykelly

As a writer and observer of animation and awards season, it is kind of wild to see Elio get some kind of nomination across awards like Pixar and Disney were trying to give it a To Leslie-style redemption tour with how many times I have seen that film pop up.

First major animated film release of the new year! Glad it’s with the notorious thief Lupin III

Last theatrical animated film of 2025 I need to see..let’s see spongey and square. #animationsky #filmsky

"100 Meters" is now available on Netflix. I think back fondly on the first film by Kenji Iwaisawa, "On-Gaku". Long live rotoscoping and its many possibilities.

Enjoy a brand new episode of Renegade Animation! For one last time in 2025, you can hear myself, @camseyeview.biz and @crazylemur.bsky.social yap about anime: the good, the bad, and the ugly!

Having the little drive thru mechanic in Mario Kart World adds so much personality to an already charming franchise. Haven’t gotten the open world part yet, but I’m loving this game.

Time to see how much this Anaconda wants this #filmsky #anaconda #paulrudd #jackblack

I really need critics on here who follow music more than I do to confirm to me that pop music was bad this year, because I find it hard to believe that so little was relased as I have seen a few folks say. Also, any lists that are full of music critics are worth following on here would be helpful.

The anime "fans" that are complaining about the whole KyoAni announcement of them adapting RuriDragon have a lot of basement-dwelling loser energy who don't know how anime or animation works.

It's frankly insulting how I can't play Monster Hunter Wilds on Steam Deck. I'm sorry, but why aren't PC versions of games not frankly tested or able to be Steam Deck verified?

There was no other choice, I had to see this movie. #filmsky #neon #nootherchoice #parkchanwook

Time to watch something secret about some agent. #neon #filmsky #thesecretagent

If Level 5, the devs behind Professor Layton, want us to stop hating on them for using generative AI, then they should stop using AI and hire real artists instead of cutting corners and killing the environment using data scraping machines.

While I generally agree with Anno about making the anime you want and not have to think about pleasing everyone, I will argue that catering to certain otaku tendencies does hurt certain anime and I’m not gonna be blind to the fact that catering to a certain crowd makes for worse products.

So you know those starter packs we love on here? Is there a way to find ones you have followed? I need to cleanse my TL, and I hate to say it's because of political news folks on here, but some of y'all gotta stop sharing AI on my TL.

Yeah, I think I'm losing patience seeing certain kinds of tweets these days. Not the obvious ones I don't want to see and why I came here not to see, but some of y'all get too flippant, and it's mentally draining.

Here to see blue cat people fight in amazing visuals that are straight and ashy.
