An Ainu group in Hokkaido has filed Japan's first lawsuit demanding the government return 279 ancestral remains held at the state-run Upopoy memorial. They argue that under Ainu tradition the community, not the state, holds the right to care for its dead.

The continued survival of GoHands continues to be one of the anime industries greatest mysteries

Folks, when I tell you that Nippon Sangoku contains some of the most badass shit you will see in any anime this year, I *need* you to believe me.

Fanime is pretty ok this year. This is my favorite cosplay so far.

First up for our Monthly Moonie Marathon is this next episode preview for Sailor Moon SuperS, E154 of the series, scanned from a 16mm rush print by us in 4K! This marks the first ever time footage from a TV episode of SM proper has been shown in native HD! youtu.be/qgqvOARk3WU

We're officially dubbing the rest of 2026 the Year of Moon!🌙 Every month until the end of the year, we'll be sharing a short SM film scan with you all, leading up to the 35th anniversary of the manga, which will end with an absolute BANG. Follow this thread for monthly updates!

Aries: Today will be a good day to settle old scores. Bring a knife.

Georgian food is really good.

Seeing Detective Conan in the Precure artstyle is sending me into orbit

Yusuke Murata (OnePunch Man and Eyeshield 21) may have lost his mind (Warning : Islamophobia/Eugenics/Ableism) www.resetera.com/threads/15...

On Thursday evening Valnet issued new contracts to writers at TheGamer instituting a minimum article viewership threshold for payment. Most writers already have pay tied to article performance, but this new system would mean that if a piece didn't get X number of clicks you wouldn't be paid for it.

With each passing year, I'm increasingly of the mind that the people who got mad at the CR Awards the year Yuri on Ice swept were being far too harsh on it and should have let it enjoy its flowers, because nearly every year since then has just been the Shonen Jump award

I made a donation to the victims of the Islamic Center of San Diego and I encourage you to do the same if you’re able

Welcome to Washington state! A new Amtrak Cascades train is now being tested here so those trains can start carrying passengers in the fall. We're the first in the country to receive these new-generation trains with more capacity and improved amenities.

Reading the QRTs and, while I know lots of folks are champing at the bit for some kind of comeuppance: -This is the JP branch only and does not include the primary CR US branch. There's no way the primary CR company is operating on US$2.85 million profits.

My latest #Answerman is live on @animenewsnetwork.com. This week, I attempt to understand the maths behind #Anime's "$60 Billion Dollar Problem/Opportunity." A long way away from flogging #AKIRA VHS tapes off the back of a trestle table at #MCMComicCon. www.animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/20...

On today’s edition of This Week in Anime, @vestenet.bsky.social and I explore the beautiful math of Masamune Shirow’s Ghost in the Shell and its many interpretations!

What do I need to do to get you to watch Nippon Sangoku? Do I need to come to your home and personally threaten to stick you in a set of concrete shoes? Because I will do it! I am a man with nothing to lose, and there is masterful anime just being ignored and disrespected. It cannot stand!

Central to the story of THE DISSIDENTS is an incredible magazine from the early 20th century, The Masses. It was so provocative it was shut down by the US Government and its staff was put on trial for sedition. Let’s check out a copy. THE DISSIDENTS will be out Sept. 15.

Luther was shot in the friggin Westin Bonaventure gdi

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

This is not a serious planet.

You can attend via Zoom. Just be aware of the time difference between where you are and Japan.

I think I'm parasocial fandom immune and then I'm sobbing and vibrating for two hours at a Florence + The Machine concert.

Felix is the most empathetic human being I have ever met, to the point that he becomes quite emotional on the behalf of others. Then yesterday, Erik told me I, "Care too much about the opinions of people I shouldn't care about." He then quietly made me a coffee.

Maybe I’ll sack off writing about #anime and just focus on sharing #cat photos and videos, like this one. Welcome to #CookingWithSmokey.

If you find errors in news articles, please contact the news team. I'm not trying to put Chris here on blast but people do this to me a lot with no ill intent but it's very frustrating for me.

Second ultrasound done, second biopsy to be scheduled. Still not a concerning nodule, I just am getting all done at a better medical practice after being diabolically mistreated the first go around

Have you caught any references from Needy Girl Overdose?

Been a while since I put this together but wanted to talk about an old favorite that brought me both joy and pain in equal measure (okay mostly unequal but you get the idea)

I am very rich today. I got a painting!! from Felix, strawberry pancakes and bacon from the family, and, somehow, three hanging baskets.

Labyrinth (2025) (7.5/10) Easy to find cringe, but I dug it? Kawamori's Galaxy Brain may come off cheesier with age, but the way he visualizes "you are your smartphone (and your alt account)" with the same sense of bright-eyed curiosity he did with Macross still makes me smile.

My proposal: @discotekmedia.bsky.social do a Criterion style "Discotek Closet" with some known anime fans showing off some of their titles and recommendations.

My #cat likes plant pots!

This is being rescheduled for next weekend! Time: May 16th @ 5PM EDT

Thinking about SHIBOYUGI.

Since there is still confusion about this. ANN Editorial is the collective of employees and freelancers that run ANN's OP/ED section. This is opinions (reviews, thinkpieces), columns (Answerman, This Week in Anime, This Week in Games), and interviews.
