New He-Man trailer has made me once again ponder that the franchise, in all its incarnations, has always been, at its base, an isekai.

So many times this last year, I've been reminded of that old Soviet era joke about a man in Moscow scanning the front page of the newspaper every morning. Eventually, someone asks him what he's looking for. "I'm just checking for obituaries." "But obituaries aren't on the first page."

Slowly getting sicker over the last week, today being the worst so far, snow covering the roads, and now a power outage. I really don't feel like it's worth it to go to work.

I went and put together that Gunbuster model and it really is small. Here are Buster Machines 1 and 2 next to a tape measure for scale.

Okay, but how did they track down Dante?

You mean to tell me that a company called Gru is planning to own property on the moon? This is a Despicable Me meme just waiting to happen. arstechnica.com/space/2026/0...

I've been waiting for months for this bad boy to ship. Guess what song is playing in my head on repeat.

"Noiseman" is back for free on Youtube (for a limited time). Koji Morimoto x Masaaki Yuasa x Yoko Kanno (Studio 4°C, 1997). >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOhd...

If they're going to make movies with four hour runtimes, they need to start making intermissions a thing again. Or, call me crazy if you want, but maybe make shorter movies.

Her problems could have been avoided if the car's gaydar wasn't on the fritz. This is why public transit needs proper funding!

There are those who would downplay Rakugo as just another kind of standup comedy, and that's an unfair generalization. For one thing, they're kneeling down on a cushion.

What's your favourite thing that was made by an absolute cunt? I still feel the parasocial sting of betrayal after all these years, from the person who first got me into sci fi literature when I was little.

BANG BANG On the door baby, knock a little louder! BANG BANG On the door baby! BANG BANG You're what??? FEUER FREI

I'm in several kinds of pain this evening and I curse whoever came up with the idea of aging.

When Dinsdale Piranha is able to trace his family history back 2500 years.

Be careful, Tigtone! For, even in her home dimension, her wardrobe is impractical.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

100% seriously, European leaders and Commission officials should plan on the basis that the US might do this to them too, about Greenland, about tech regulation, about “Christian values”, about “free speech”, whatever.

Feeling numb. I wish I had something witty to say, but all I can think about is what will happen next in the world. Living next to a volatile country whose leader has already voiced his disregard of Canada's future sovereignty, I'm genuinely worried. I don't like these feelings that I'm fighting.

Spent all New Year's morning putting together a new gunpla and I can only say one thing... It's Goofy time!

Modified Instrumental Convergence Theory: A tech CEO whose only goal is to build AI data centres will divert more and more resources toward building data centres, resisting all attempts by humans to slow their progress, thereby preventing the efficient manufacture of paperclips.

You mean to tell me that Steel Ball Run is getting released during the Year of the Horse?

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

On the one hand, Oshi no Ko getting taken by the Crunchies does mean that it will get more exposure from general weebdom. On the other hand, do we really want another series that's broken up between multiple licencors? Really?

Well, here we go again... Another year older.

Last-minute gig idea! A knock-off VHS that looks a bit like a classic Disney cartoon:

Vietnam flashbacks from my years at UPS intensify

I have so many hopes for this. That it keeps the same pace as the original series, that more people will learn of the Happy Hungry Bunch, and that there's enough fan support that it at least gets to the BIG MOMENT in volume 30 (IYKYK).

Every time I see a headline like this, I keep thinking of two words: Kessler and syndrome.

I'm giving out this star, so get it while you can folks

Caved in and finally started watching Heated Rivalry.

Me: Ah, Sunday morning. It's time to wash the towels. *puts the towels in the washing machine and proceeds to turn on the dryer

You will be visited by three spirits.

Anime you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Streamline, Manga Ent., or... what in the heck is a Toonami?

The question that this raises is, would the gender aspect of the movie inspire Klinger to embrace a more nuanced performance, or would he reject it outright due to his prejudices?

I decided to delete the last couple skeets I made because I'm pretty sure I was only giving the people who printed it free advertising. Basically, all the cars in the hospital parking lot got a newsletter filled with antivax propaganda left on them and I'm mad about it.

A Nickelback song has been stuck in my head since I first woke up this morning, and, just because of it's nature, it's got me constantly asking how the hell it wound up like this.

"Excuse me, could you please show me your receipt?"

Cardcaptor Sakura hurt me deeply as an adult and deserves to bring emotional harm to as many people as possible.

Wishing you and yours a contemplative #GazpachoSoupDay. Save a career today. Tell your friend that Gazpacho Soup is served cold and watch them go up, up, up the zigurat, lickety-split.

I was trying to Google the box office results of Angel's Egg over the last few days, and I found something I never thought would exist... A live action Polish language science fiction movie directed by Mamoru Oshii. Just... How? I must find this movie at any cost. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avalon_...

licensors/distributors, there has never been a better time to put a 4K scan of Adolescence of Utena in theaters. I am an unbiased professional industry commentator and critic. you can trust me.

If Chainsaw Man eats the 13 Devil, does math completely collapse, or does it somehow self-regulate to work without that number?

45 minutes away from Angel's Egg. I don't think I've seen an anime movie in the theatre since Spirits Within. Weird that I'm now seeing something almost as old as I am.

When I send a fax at work to a particular doctor, the melody and tempo od the fax machine exactly match the opening bars of the OP for Steel Angel Kurumi, leading to it getting stuck in my head. Weeb problems, I guess.

Post your fave Star Trek character, wrong answers only

I'll be honest, it really shows that the CGI department has gotten some major budget cuts in the latest season of the Witcher.

Today, it sleeps. Tomorrow, it will be awoken by the sound of children's song and laughter, which will soon after turn into screams of terror as it sets its eyes upon them.

One can not describe the horror I felt during my commute when I realized the stuff falling from the sky wasn't rain. At least it's not cold enough yet for it to stick for long.
