“It's not just that Fist of the North Star is bad in a way that recalls Berserk (2016). It's bad in a way that actively sets the medium of anime itself back. That's what makes it so insulting to both loyal fans & newcomers alike.” CG FotNS is the worst kind of bad anime: one a lot of people watched

For Anime World Order Show # 254 – This Island Didn’t Have Any Problems Until You White People Came, our special guest is @miketoole.com, for whom we have summoned forth after years away to review the 5-part OVA Macross Zero from 2002, now available here in the US. www.awopodcast.com/2026/06/anim...

i just remembered trogdor riki

This is so funny to me. Anime has been the domain of the gays for as long as I can remember. Didn't think I could love Witch Hat anymore but glad to be proven wrong.

The video games corporation is discontinuing their popular product, the video game

If AI was this wonderful, amazing thing, that is so much better than artists and developers and voice actors, that results in a better product, then surely we'd see organic demand for it? Surely there'd be comments everywhere from players demanding AI generated elements from game developers, right?

Tim Swindle cryarsing about AI disclosure being a scarlet letter lets slip something significant here, because if AI was all that slop jockeys claim it was, then surely such a disclosure would be a mark of pride, even a selling point! Surely people would be clamouring for AI games. But they're not.

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

We're proud to announce that @shoebill.moe is hard at work designing the cover art for the Gunbuster Fan Magazine!

Howdy I'm the sheriff of #makeaterriblecomicday

had a funny idea :)

Name a movie that flopped at the box office but is actually great #FilmSky

Don't forget your Master Asia fan during these hot temperatures

There’s gotta be some kind of allegory for this in The Odyssey

Might not have the same level of immediate accessibility as FMA, but Daemons of the Shadow Realm is further proof that Hiromu Arakawa's track record is nearly impeccable (Also I will not apologize for calling Silver Spoon her true masterpiece, not her fault the rest of you can't get behind farming)

Also, if you want to know why companies chop up 4:3 TV shows for widescreen like Funimation did for their DBZ Blu-Rays, I found this on Fafner's listing yesterday:

残っとるもんだな

来週もキリコと地獄に付き合ってもらう #ボトムズ #AKIRA

I printed a poster of the collage I did of fighting game characters engulfed in flames.

"Converting PDFs to presentation slides" is such a telling example because so much of what LLMs are being used for seems to be labor that doesn't need to be done at all. It's just renting a space heater in someone else's building to accomplish nothing at all.

I think the only 1930s-40s manga actually available in translation is Tank Tankuro, but I made a reading list of manga about WWII

Best comedy of the year

Genndy Tartakovsky’s ‘Conan the Barbarian’ is officially in the works for Prime Video. Cartoon Network Studios will produce.

Yoshiaki Kawajiri was already quite old when he showed the little demo bit of a hypothetical Ninja Scroll: Burst, so I wonder if he’s too old to do this new Ninja Scroll now? He said that’s the only thing he’d come back for to direct. I hope he’s not getting screwed out of his own creation with this

@timeldred.bsky.social is writing/directing "Icons of Anime," a documentary about the impact of anime in the West. It's produced by CREATORVC, the company that created docs like Aliens Expanded, The Thing Expanded, and more. They've posted this survey to gauge fan interest. iconsofanimedoc.com

Crusher Joe - pretty high powered advertisement / Family Soft PC-98, never played or heard this one, don't remember seeing it in my sound collection... #pc98

Happy Birthday, Sonic! 🎂 🎨: @rechi-c.bsky.social

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.

Always happy for an excuse to post this

コミッションにて鳥人戦隊ジェットマンより「グレイ」を描きました。

yeah the steam machine is expensive, but the good news is everyone is making so much more money thanks to our AI-enhanced productivity

A24 announces that they want to put storyboard artists out of work. That's what the headline should be written as. Becuase we should be honest about what these AI "tools" are trying to do, and who it is trying to circumvent. variety.com/2026/film/ne...

For @aftermath.site, I reviewed the Steam Machine. It costs $1049 base. It is beautifully designed. It might be one of the most important computers ever made, launched at the worst time imaginable. aftermath.site/steam-machin...

Crunchyroll, Netflix, et al are enshittifying subtitles in an effort to make a worldwide standard, and the heroes Gkids are out here using yellow subs and left-justified cyan supertitles in the year 2026

Okay this has gotta be my favorite meme I've seen on this situation

My recent emojis tell the story of Hokuto no Ken

Check out this sword stuck in a stone!!

AI has started blocking the Wayback Machine from chronicling the web. Considering that nearly 40% of websites disappear after 10 years, this will enforce a giant loss in collective memory.

The American Library Association is auctioning off a bunch of the classic celebrity “READ” posters along with a bunch of other full sized literacy posters. This is going to fix so many of my problems, I just know it. movieposters.ha.com/c/search/res...
