Today I restored the Anime "Hana no Asuka Gumi" (1987) from the original VHS tape. It is now available with English subtitles for anyone who would like to watch it. youtu.be/lRrkKC_n2PM

This is the 1990-94/1996-97 logo for The Disney Afternoon, which turned 35 years old last month. 😊

One of the articles I found in the Fan Book I picked up recently was this one where the Jumbo Size Convoy and Megatron costumes where introduced to the public by the President of Takara Yasuta Sato and 2 representatives from Hasbro🤖#Transformers

A crossover that so badly needs to happen.

You know, when you look at what Rockstar achieved with CGI facial animations... there's no reason why we can't have "realistic" looking CGI animated movies. It doesn't all have to look like caricatures and doodles. www.youtube.com/shorts/SCL_y...

I would like a MOTU game like this: youtu.be/ayAjwXFEtdc Y'know, with actual care to get it done right on all fronts, something that taps straight into nostalgia, rather than pseudo-nostalgia.

FYI, Midjourney isn't getting sued because they trained data on movies etc. They're getting sued because they profit on copyrighted characters through running subscription service. "The lawsuit argues Midjourney’s ability to return copyrighted characters is a “clear draw for subscribers,”

Silverhawks character designs went incredibly hard. Their chief villain was Werewolf Space Satan.

Oh, without a doubt.

I don’t care what the “official” story is, I’m certain that Silverhawks was originally an attempt to make an american produced follow up to gatchaman/battle of the planets which was subtly changed when licensing deals and such fell through. #anime #animesky #cartoons #gatchaman #silverhawks

I seem to have bumped into a lost media. In 1991 was a French-Japanese series by the name of Cupido: youtu.be/xMNG4l5rK4s Intro song and credits are in English which greatly implies that it exists in English... but not a single ep in English appears to be online. Info is also extremely scarce.

"The mark consists of at 8 kHz fidelity" So they're literally using a recording they lifted from some website (or usenet) during the dial up age and now they wanna trademark it... news.tfw2005.com/2025/09/25/h...

different story. The "discourse" we see online is not reflective of reality. It's nothing but an attack on our collective psyche to con us into supporting things we shouldn't. Realizing that makes the world whole lot less depressing.

the Russians are about to invade whole of Europe, oh and they better be nuked - from SPAAAYCE! Thankfully we have Hollywood to remind us of reality. How? Because they have shills of their own constantly going on how the latest garbage project is actually bestets ever. Yet finances tell a whole

Whilst "Discover" feed is better than main feed on X, there's still a massive problem with political shills. No matter what party they represent, no matter what country they represent, it's all just reality warping BS. On X you feel neo-nazis are successfully conquering the world, here you feel

Here's the problem with this - Travis Knight's hands are tied. Even more so than on Bumblebee. He's surrounded by hacks who are trigger happy to veto anything they don't like. Hacks thanks to whom the shoddy comedy script by Nee brothers is being used. he-mania.com/2025/10/new-...

Seems like Kanye’s in a good mood

On in "Key to Vector Sigma" seems to be baed on this one:

Anyways, that's the end of this rambling wobbly timely presentation.

And in case you're wondering - Shockwave was in another castBUILDING. His death was to be earlier, right after Unicron slammed Cybertron. Well... IMPLIED death. Previous draft of the script showed walls collapsing and crushing him.

Though the bridge was supposed to make one more appearance - the movie. There we were going to see Unicron destroy it.

BUT WAIT! Later on they fixed that! Now other buildings appear properly sized! This is literally the bridge's final appearance BTW and for it they finally set eeeeverything right.

Aerial shot also tries to avoid reverse TARDIS. Of course, maybe those other buildings aren't really buildings at all, but... just not very well thought out.

Especially as "Revenge of Bruticus" goes back to the stone. And again there's an attempt to rectify reverse TARDIS... but the size of two Combaticons just makes EVERYTHING look smaller...

"War Dawn" came and it went straight back to round mega-building. Albeit in fairness there was miscommunication going on with this episode. Just look how bizarrely trashed the interior is. Basically this episode doesn't count. It's a fluke.

In "The Key to Vector Sigma" we see it again, with a seeming attempt to rectify reverse TARDIS... but now the computers are all too big for Decepticons to use... Still, exterior is set in stone.... OR IS IT?

The reverse TARDIS effect reaches its peak. Now it's the size of a small mega-building (for the record, Cybertron is same size as Mars). All in all, this episode set the definitive exterior in stone.

Till oversized tower pops up... and then it goes off the rails... they show the space bridge... FROM SPACE....

as the episode concludes its size goes wild with the reverse TARDIS effect. First it's much bigger than earlier, but then... for first time ever it's basically properly sized!

Then came "The Search for Alpha Trion". This ep set out to finally put everything to rest. We get an aerial shot. It's not the round mega-building. We also get a clear look at the entrance, the TARDIS effect is still present, but not as bad... HOWEVER....

you could say that the shot lacks the reverse TARDIS effects. But alas... Anyways, the next time we saw the bridge was in season 2, "Desertion of the Dinobots part 1". Wheeeere they go back to implying round mega-building houses it...

...the next episode apparently goes back to implying that the round mega-building houses THE space bridge:

Anyways, it wasn't till "Ultimate doom part 1" when they finally showed the definitive exterior, with all its reverse TARDIS glory. Although... it coooould be argued it's a different space bridge because interior is now different. Plus...

Save for "Roll for it". That episode went "Take your pick" with the exterior:

And perhaps that is the reason why they initially avoided showing full exterior of the space bridge. We'd often see the rising tower and surrounding buildings. Albeit it could be argued that they intended the round mega-building to house the bridge as they kept zooming on it before cutting to tower

Take a close look at Decepticon space bridge on Cybertron you'll notice that the glass top with the tower has been pasted on. My guess is that this was originally designed as a launch site for Nemesis in MTMTE. Sadly the revision introduced a reversed TARDIS - it's smaller on the inside than outside

Here’s the Macross Valkyrie from Fight or Flee. The other Paradronian looks rather startled by his presence! Interestingly neither Valk is the early Jetfire model (no armour) so it isn’t a case of pulling an existing model off the shelf, rather someone was deliberately inserting Macross Easter Eggs!

Yeah, there’s a Valkyrie in Fight or Flee too. I think the FoF one is a use Jetfire’s first animation model though this one is clearly unarmoured with the elbows and ankle circles visible so definitely not Jetfire’s model. Someone seems to have snuck an Easter egg like the Gundams in TF:TM

Off-topic: You guys ever notice this Macross VF-1J among the damaged Autobots in War Dawn at around 15:36? 👀
