Lots to love in Iwaisawa's ambition, like the impressionist use of background art in tracking/first-person shots. Personally loved the scarce wide shots, almost tinged with a cruel irony, a periodic reminder of the apparent insignificance of devoting one's entire self to a stretch of land

Hard to find the words to describe an experience as strikingly immersive as Hyakuemu. Structurally tied to rotoscope as means of capturing the sport faithfully, yet quick to ditch its realism for a more chaotic expression when its characters seek to escape their reality or it falls apart

Hyakuemu's acclaim reminded me of the Uoto interview asking about anime influences where they went "idk I don't watch much, but I love Eupho & Shirobako so much they gotta be influential for me". Wanted to rant so much about Kumiko and Myaamoru it split off into a separate blurb. Truly based author

My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND boxd.it/coycW7 Balancing cringe comedy with humane character work, low-key charmer quietly gets under your skin. Screenplay juggles melancholy & regret with non-stop litany of hilariously awkward one-liners. Life affirming, funny & lovely. #filmsky 📽

This was a wonderful read! "It shows the importance of actual remorse and repentance, the need to draw a line in the sand with people who think the Empire were the good guys, the need to create space for both devout Catholics and those who worship at the altar of the rational."

Reposting with alt text!

Mamdani: "The cost of childcare will no longer discourage young adults from starting a family, because we will deliver universal childcare for the many by taxing the wealthiest few"

I am repeating myself, but I’m doing it for a reason. We need this kind of reporting and the Washington Post is still delivering it.

Just rewatched WAR OF THE WORLDS (2005) on 4k. Forgot how good it was. Top tier Spielberg/Cruise flick.

Sarazanmai my beloved I’ll stand by it forever as an Ikuhara masterpiece, a crystallization of the themes he loves to dive into. Its ridiculous and yet also equally earnest but also yeah there’s a lot of butt stuff ppl might find off-putting lmaoooooo

Great post too! More on That Coat and some cool background on Mamdani’s tie. Everything about these two is so considered without being performative.

You could have just let the audience figure out she's bad naturally, but nah, you gave her four eyebrows attempting to reach out and touch the sun.

Was watching an episode of Stand Alone Complex about the Individual Eleven and one of the characters said a quote that I feel perfectly relates to something I'm mulling over at the moment and it's just wild how good this anime is.

Miette trying out Glimi's pumpkin bed. I love it when animals are too excited to actually lay.

Lawful neutral cause the nightstand with all my library books fits in that top right corner.

Didn't think watching the final #DowntonAbbey movie and the featurettes would make me this nostalgic. *looks up when it started* OMG, 15 years?!

A single crow flies in front of the 97.8% waxing gibbous moon tonight. 🪶

Tamon’s B-Side being the shoujo anime food we’ve been waiting for feels so good 😍😍 it’s been blowing up on Twitter as it should, so COME JOIN THE CHURCH OF TAMON 🙏🛐

Feels right.

A dog was barking outside & then a crow started cawing back at it. I don't know if the crow was saying, "WILL YOU SHUT UP?!" or if the dog was like, "OMG SO MANY BOOMS LAST NIGHT SO BAD" & the crow was like, "I know, right? Take it easy today, buddy," but the dog stopped & the crow's still going.

I hope 2026 is kind to us all

My new year wish is that someday we can all read the fishing manga Fisherman Sanpei

Moosh report, Snow Sucks Confirmed

No despair memes to start off the year, I've decided it's bad luck. We're gonna be ok, we're gonna get some sleep and drink some water and we're gonna make 2026 a good one by force. Happy New Year, hotties! ⭐🎇❤️🫰⚔️🎉🥂

Going into 2026 like... We hoping things get better. More art to art. A shop to open hopefully. We gotta keep going. If not by shere determination, then by spite.

I am dodging Heated Rivalry discourse like Neo dodging bullets because a lot of people who have not been involved in long & intense discussions about who is writing what queer romance, and how, and why, and what disclosures they do/do not owe readers? Are not ready for this convo. 😑

Happy New Year, everyone! 💫

happy year of the fire horse (hinoe-uma)! 👹 An old Japanese superstition from the Edo period says women born on this year will be hot-tempered and shorten their husbands' lifespans

My favorite thing about Guy is that before he was a Green Lantern he was a gym teacher. Imagine entrusting your child to this man. Imagine him teaching your child line dancing.

I have no idea what I want to do with her just yet but I love her and I'm absolutely going to build a whole comic around her one day.

my top 10 year films from 2025. Wake Up Dead Man wins

hey, if there’s anything I can do to hasten the implosion of the AI bubble, let me know. 🙏

Happy New Year, start it off smiling with this golden oldie

Happy new year to all the artists who haven't had time, energy, passion, or any other needed resource to draw enough personal stuff to join end-of-the-year memes in 2025. May we find more of all of the above in 2026, as well as compassion for ourselves if we don't!

Psst. Hey, come closer. No, closer. I have a New Year’s secret for you. It’s this: If you care about people you don’t even know, and try to live your life that way, you are absolutely beautiful no matter what you look like.

Despite a universe of professionally made music videos and great music, I think about the cuts in RadioAkshun, a Rebuild of Evangelion AMV set to Imagine Dragons “Radioactive”, almost daily. Greater than the factorial multiple of its parts.

Did you know? My favorite amv is Skittles

Happy new year. Please have a good time, and try not to hurt anyone.
