HECK YEAH. 😍

Zebraman (2004)

Tongan Olympian Pita Taufatofua in attendance at the ceremony. Unfortunately wearing a shirt and not dressed like this. 😭

Seeing Winter Olympics coverage is again making me a little sad I'm living in such a snow-adverse area. 🌨️💔

Watching Olympic opening ceremonies while working. At the risk of sounding mean, I'd give anything just to see one of these guys trip and fall.

Curious about what percentage of followers of myself and Neekko think about us primarily as a duo/couple vs. the percentage of followers that only think of us as our individual selves. Not sure if that makes sense but I often wonder. 💒

Winter Olympics start up tomorrow. Get ready for me to talk once again about wonderful Olympic mascots. The ones this time are pretty great! Not my favorites ever but such a *vast* improvement over the last couple of Olympic games.

Happy #ThrowBuThursday once again! It's so rare for me to be able to get any transformation sequences, so ones like this are so valuable to me. This sequence from 2014 is by the always wonderful @87octane.bsky.social! Careful with those mysterious donuts, folks. 🍩

This has been on my watchlist since last year. Still can't believe they found a way to turn a game you can beat in 10 minutes where you're just walking through corridors into a 95 minute movie, lmao.

Sending good vibes to my BFF @neekko.art who is just starting 24 hours of juggling back-to-back work shifts with freelance projects and the slimmest promise of sleep and rest in between them. 🙏 Some old Neek pixel art as a rough approximation of how that feels:

命の守護者

By sheer coincidence I'm importing two different DVDs from two different sources right now and neither experience has been particularly fun. Further enforcing my frustration at how bad it is right now to access obscure movies/TV while we live in an age where it *should* be effortless.

Getting this movie in my hands some time this month! Buyee shipping is weird now because of tariffs (yaaaay...), I could only choose ECMS shipping or air mail. Chose ECMS because I didn't want to spend $50 for a $25 DVD but then I look online and see people being like "don't use ECMS!!" Sigh...

Counterpoint: JCVD's ridiculously gratuitous ass shot.

Yes, I'm browsing oni art during my down time today. I see lots of cute stuff! But it kills me at how many Japanese folks on social media have embraced AI generated images. The majority of beefcake oni stuff I've found are from bodybuilders who used AI to alter photos to look like oni. 👎💔

And BONUS Oni-Bu alt image, by the wonderful @lyttav.bsky.social! Yes, if you know me, this alt comes as no surprise, lol. 👹

Revisited an Oni-Bu pic from last year by the ever-wonderful @zillabean.bsky.social, but I added some detail and gave it some color. Hope folks like how it turned out just as much as I do! I haven't done a lot of digital coloring recently so I'm probably a little rusty. 😅

Showing off Neek's Oni enamel pins because they're still my favorites. 👹

I put some more time into digital coloring practice, this time working on a color version of the Oni-Bu sketch from last year by the always wonderful @crispy-ghee.bsky.social and I'm decently happy with how I did, but I'm sure I have plenty of room for improvement, haha.

歳の数だけだよ！ #節分 #loop

The boys kicked off a theme month that feels catered specifically to me by covering a movie that also feels catered specifically to me. Really hilarious episode with Lambert impressions aplenty.

‘Kintoki Scattering Beans to Oni’ - Torii Kiyonaga, 1803. #JapaneseArt #ukiyoe #Setsubun

Love seeing all the cute oni pictures from Japanese artists today. Not enough sexy oni pictures though, which is unfortunate.

It has come to my attention that Taika Waititi directed it. Suddenly it makes perfect sense that the commercial is so unbelievably unfunny and awful.

Watched that Jurassic Park Xfinity ad and I think my soul has officially left my body. ⚰️ (We must put an end to de-aging technology)

I'm simultaneously rolling my eyes at this and wondering when and where and how I actually pay this. How much do they expect me to fork over for a $25 DVD that I'm 99% sure is a crappy bootleg, lmao.

If I had a bowtie, it would be SPINNING!! (Photo credit is x.com/muscleplus_f.... Wouldn't normally post someone else's stuff but they allow fair use of their work)

Since I'm watching some Christophe Gans movies lately, I might as well keep it going with a long overdue revisit of Brotherhood of the Wolf, which has a totally awesome Mark Dacascos performance.

Me: Oh hey there's this Asian dept store I've never been in. I should check it out but surely I won't spend any money there. Me (5 minutes later): God damn it.

I know I probably look dumb going out to see this a second time. But I'm also alone and have the whole theater to myself so it kind of rules too. (Admittedly also a little sad to see this stupid weird movie flopping hard!!)

Setsubun this week and the Namahage Sedo Festival in a couple weeks. Time for me to hunt down all the oni art. 😍👹

1. "I illustrated it [...]" lmao, okay. 2. The amount of dick-sucking of this guy on Twitter is I guess unsurprising but also absolutely insane and deeply pathetic.

Okay I cleaned the living room today so I went out for a burger and now I'm home with a bubble tea and looking for a movie to watch. Saturday, baby. 😎

Seeing independent action figure makers that put together the coolest Ultraman figures. 😍 Meanwhile, I'm sitting here with a couple figure bases that I want to use to make a Bu figure and I have no clue how to start, lmao.

This genius newspaper headline in Death Wish 5

Kamen Rider Black Sun (2022) Episode 7

I have an unreasonable need for this shirt featuring Pigmon in an oversized hat. 😭

Man, that sucks. Another one of the best to ever do it is now gone. 💔 R.I.P.

I'm either catching the new Raimi picture or there's a heist happening at the theater and the staff tried to discretely ask me to call the cops? You decide.

Always thankful for those folks out there putting together beautiful Blu-ray sets and allowing me to have a very steady and bountiful supply of Hong Kong cinema. 🫠

Post a picture you took.

I'd say once every few weeks I think about this scene from Kung Fu From Beyond the Grave where Dracula shows up for some reason. Villain: *Burning USD* Count Dracula, come to my AID!!!! Count Dracula: *flying in from above* I'm commmiiiingggg!!

Happy #ThrowBuThursday! This is a very old one @neekko.art did for me back in 2009 that I still love. It's a light reminder that I now have nearly 20 years-worth of Bu art and I still love it all. 🥰🎨 🥰

God damn it.

Wondering if I'd be crazy enough to actually go see Return to Silent Hill in theaters again. While I'd be interested to see how I feel with no expectations... I also kind of don't want to waste the time. 😅

What flavor is your OC? (pic courtesy of @de4thpunch.bsky.social 💪💕)

Post a picture you took.

Hurray class-action settlements!!! 😍💰

Genuinely wondering if I'm crazy enough to use a Japanese Amazon account to buy this on DVD and have it shipped overseas. No subtitles and probably $40+ with shipping.... 😔 Then again, I can't see this movie ever coming out in the west so it might be my only option?
