Speaking of $65 for all four days at Anime Expo, it’s $195 at the door now. 103K turnstile attendance in 2008 compared to 410K in 2026. Uneven economic recovery aside, the unemployment numbers and CPI are higher than last year. I don’t expect people to lobby con. www.forbes.com/sites/kalaic...

Voices aside (which aren't bad whatsoever, they're just not what I'm used to for almost 30 years), the Star Fox 64 remake is great. Playing it with an NSO N64 controller feels perfect. Already did a middle-route run as that's my favorite level order and it was a ton of fun.

No one on Earth will ever have the courage to make Next Episode teasers like Tomino did for L-Gaim. ︀︀ ︀︀No one on Earth will also just press random letters on their keyboard to create names like the writers for L-Gaim.

Since I will have zero chances to ever post this again since L Gaim is on everyone's minds today, this has been bouncing around in my head forever.

With @discotekmedia.bsky.social we've put together a list of their titles that are out-of-print. This list will be kept updated. mediaocd.com/out-of-print... If it's out of print nab a copy while you can. Some have been part of the Deep Dives at the MediaOCD store mediaocd.com/brand/discot...

My favorite weird out of date Crunchyroll thing I never see mentioned... On the release calendar page... Ignore the newest equipment listed is the PS4 and Xbox One. It still has a link related to VRV.

I have a few pairs of "dumb" OLED glasses that are just wearable USB-C mini-displays, and while I don't walk around wearing them because that would be a stupid way to use them, I always wonder if someone's gonna think they're the Creeper Goggles when I use them in an airport or on a flight.

I miss William Friedkin

This is legitimately one of the stupidest decisions ever when Gundam X has very recent and very good professionally made English subs that Bamco has already been using.

Due to an outage with our email provider, order confirmation emails are not being sent. We hope to have this fixed soon. Please make sure you’re logged in before you place your order.

The funeral scene from episode 3 of Giant Robo (1992-98) is reminiscent of the end of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982), right down to the capsular casket. Given Imagawa’s love of all things Trek, the similarities are possibly not accidental.

Also, to go along with those reposts, here's a handful of typesetting examples from Master of Martial Hearts. The title logo has a color change effect on it as well.

We did not lack for amazing artwork to use on this package. Will feature both English and French 5.1 tracks.

For fans of Flow and other recent EU animation, the style will look familiar. An absolutely jaw dropping re-imagining of several Greek myths. It's a must-see.

Announcing... our next Whole Grain Pictures release. An incredible European animated feature from 2022.

Got to watch this last week and it's a really impressive film. It plays with animation in varying ways, including a really striking sequence set in the dark that uses minimalism to its advantage.

I made sure to use a Showa-era accurate business card font when lettering the English version of this panel.

Sketchbook ~full color’s~ is out on Blu-ray in August! The calm & fun series has gorgeous upgraded video & plenty of extras! Exclusive slipcover at the MediaOCD store! mediaocd.com/product/sket...

Based on the date... Today is 8 years that I've been doing anime stuff at MediaOCD, @discotekmedia.bsky.social, & @animeigo.com Still fulfilling & fun & working w/ good people. Each yeah stabs at me thinking there's nothing left on my list of stuff I can hardly dream to work on. More to come.

Dealing with releasing a movie in two languages neither I nor anybody else on the team speaks is a learning experience

I'll take a remake of Pilotwings 64 next, Nintendo.

[Review] It's undoubtedly a unique experience: a little cute, a little off-putting, a little horrifying, and more focused on being intriguing rather than satisfying.

Lower Decks x God of War Laufey mashup nobody asked for

Well, that sure is Toronto in Ace Combat 8's walkthrough video

New @discotekmedia.bsky.social Deep Dives! This time is a wide selection, with a good number of the discs having been nearly impossible to find for awhile. So if you missed out on some of these before, now's the time to get them! mediaocd.com/brand/discot...

“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”

happy pride month to him

I did something absolutely silly for one of the sign subs on HanaDan. Of course, this was just a prototype for something I did on one of the upcoming Otakon announcements that blows this simple animation out of the water.

Last up, something a lot of you have wanted, w/ a bit of an upgrade... Kamen Rider: Skyrider! Call it Skyrider, Kamen Rider (New), or just Kamen Rider, the 1st time the Rider returned to TV after the original run ended is coming! & for the first time in HD on disc, anywhere.

Over to a live action movie... Journey to Japan: The Kyoto Connection! The exploitation classic starring Christina Lindberg has a really gorgeous HD remaster! The trailer on the disc is much longer & uncut. Shortened & cleaned up a bit for social media.

Then something for all the shoujo fans... Hana Yori Dango TV! One of the big shoujo classics is here, with upgraded subtitles & the English dub! Plus the 30 minute-long anime film!
