Speaking of Pittsburgh (re: my earlier post), WTF, why does all the nice stuff happen after I leave the area??? >:C

Via @bloody-disgusting.com on Twitter - Pretty bummed that, in the decade of me living in Pittsburgh, I only went there once and I didn't actually explore the mall. I might need to consider checking it out when I visit the area before it's gone forever. 😭

Amazon: "Hey, that Ultraman Blu-ray you pre-ordered came out this week." Me: "Oh, awesome, when do you think you'll be getting it to me?" Amazon: "LMAO ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but thanks for shopping!"

I have so much work to do this evening. The work:

Genuinely one of the biggest surprises of Justin's marathon from last year. Plus it was an introduction for me to the same creative team behind these two Japanese shows I started watching on Netflix recently that I'd wholeheartedly recommend. 💪

I became aware that applications for the Namahage festival open in a couple months and now I'm once again planning hypothetical trip scenarios online for something I'm not even certain I'll be able to attend.

Another spoooOOooOOky #ThrowBuThursday over here. Oh noooo, it's zombie Bu!! 😭 This is a convention sketch from back in 2018 by the consistently amazing and wonderful @87octane.bsky.social!

Tonight was the right evening for just a good old-fashioned Japanese ghost story. (The Bride from Hades, 1968)

Yeah well, society thinks Jason Blum should stuff it up his ass and go back to producing movies that aren't dogshit.

I've watched the first three episodes of the new Kamen Rider. Honestly? The only time I've watched a modern KR show and didn't feel immediately checked-out. I'm still more of a Showa/early Heisei era guy but the dream stuff is fun. How long until he fights Freddy Krueger?

Autumn Oni (Namahage) Bu, protector of the forest. 🍂 by @lyttav.bsky.social, 2023!

Oni-Bu catching some sun and some waves and taking it real easy in this new pic by the totally awesome @ginacookie.bsky.social. This is perhaps very mildly spicy but I have to show it off. 👀💦

Uh-oh, a new thing has shown up on my phone. 🫨

This tweet is over here reminding me I'm hitting my 5th anniversary in just a few months. 😲

Reito-kun the polar bear is the mascot of Haier home appliances.

The amount of shame I feel because I'd probably ask myself the exact same question if I was in the same room with this statue. 😂

I've been very slowly opening up the cards. Unsurprisingly, the Namahage card has been my favorite so far. 🥺

Ah yes, it's finally the time of the year where I have to ask myself, "Do I bundle up and just feel chilly or do I switch on the thermostat and make my electric bill skyrocket but I'm comfortable?"

Going back to the blue people before Cameron ruins it with AI.

Even the ads on mobile websites are getting very seasonal. 😈

One of my goals for the next Japan trip is to cafe-hop as much as possible. I'm pretty pleased with all the totally amazing cafes I checked out in 2023 and I want to see if I can find even better ones. ☕

#Ultratober #Ultratober2025 Day 4: "Favorite Merch Design" Does it count if the merch isn't official? I'm pretty sure this plump Tiga that Neek bought me isn't official, lol. But I like his juicy cheeks.

First appearance of Pigmon since 2018, I think, and it's the clip show episode. 😭

I guess this is because I kept mentioning Ne Zha but now I'm getting notifications about character figures, etc. Although I'll admit this one has my attention. 👀💦

Hmmmmm. I wonder if I go see "Goke, Body Snatcher from Hell" later this month. Sure, I own it on DVD and it's not a good movie, but I imagine it'd be a heck of a lot of fun on the big screen.

Hey I’m short a few bucks for rent right now despite my best efforts (by like $80) so if anyone is interested in donating or getting a commission here are those links! It would be hugely appreciated! ko-fi.com/ixellent vgen.co/ixellent You can also message me directly for comms :3

It's the first spoooooky #ThrowBuThursday of the year, featuring one of my favorite pics drawn by wonderful @astrozerk.bsky.social back in 2012. You'll see that zombies stand no chance with Bu-Man, especially when donuts are in peril. 🧟🍩💥

Sits among the very few poster artists that were, and still are, the best to ever do it. R.I.P.

Oh LMAO. I genuinely thought this was fake but it's 100% real. I know it's a glorified repackaging of episodes I already own but I think I'm going to need it.

Another set of Ultraman trading cards have arrived!!!

We're still a couple days away, but I think it's time enough for me to finally enter my "Oni-Season" (as if I ever leave it lately? lmao).

Ah yes, October. Historically my least favorite month of the year - mostly because I always felt like I had bad things happen every October for a few years. Then again, this past month wasn't so wonderful, so maybe I'll be able to coast through this month without worry? 🤷‍♂️

Oh hey, big software update for my TV, I wonder what new features I can enjoy. O-oh... 🫤 *Dismisses notification*

As of a couple weeks ago, I booked a trip back to the east coast for the end of next month. As a birthday present to myself, I invested in a first-class ticket on the flight home. It's my one big treat for myself this year and I'll be dreaming about it for the next few weeks.

Honestly, the more I think about One Battle After Another and the more I see folks talking about it, the more I like it. Benicio is the clear MVP for me, hands down.

Thank you for the recent Ko-fis ❤️ I appreciate it!!! I keep putting it off bc their interface is terrible on mobile, but I finally updated my Throne with items that were on my bike when it was stolen, which also need replacing: throne.com/neekko/colle...

Steve name-drops Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad (aka Gridman) in the episode and I can't believe I hadn't thought of it first!

I just love this game so much.

Trying to make the most of a streaming free trial and I'm feeling truly blessed. We live in an era where it's easy to make a boring/nothing CGI monster. And yet we still have folks out there putting monster costumes in front of a camera. 💪💪💪

I'm sorry to all the sunlight/summer fans out there but nothing makes me feel cozier and happier than crashing on the couch after work while wrapping myself in some blankets and I can enjoy a movie with NO light blasting through the windows. 🥰

A Bu sneaking some birthday cake. 👀🎂 (A pic made my the always amazing @ju5t777.bsky.social, who I hope won't mind I show it off because I love it. 😭)
