"hm, lemme try the TikTok play and see if it'll work"

Just finished the final episodes of Secrets of the Silent Witch and WITCH WATCH, meaning my summer 2025 wrap-up post is out on my Substack! open.substack.com/pub/animejb/...

Quality control at Crunchyroll simply doesn't exist

I did a little cleanup of the list of anime I'd recommend to beginners, so here's a list of 20 titles for the genre-agnostic 🧵

I'm just saying for this season of The Amazing Race, two teams you think would make it to the final leg on paper do, in fact, make it to the final leg

rough one from Witch Watch this week

Look what finally arrived in the mail today! My plushies of Nerissa and Bijou courtesy of @makeship.bsky.social! 😁 #RissaLIVE #LIVEseki

There's still two more weeks before I drop my summer 2025 anime wrap-up post on Substack, but I have to give huge props to CloverWorks for not missing a single beat with this season of My Dress-Up Darling.

chat, how do I maintain and style a wig

LMAO what an ending

Just saw someone's Threads post containing Anohana and Angel Beats as "underrated anime" 🥀

So on a whim, I decided to watch Glass Heart, a J-drama on Netflix that came out under two months ago. And having just finished episode 10, I'd give it a 6 (maybe 7) out of 10. By far, the show's greatest strength is it's soundtrack.

Speech has never been more free, ladies and gentlemen

Honmoon shattered 💔🥀

It's very subtle, but I love how the color tone shifts when Akira finds others who like anime/manga as much as she does

If the Kpop Demon Hunters soundtrack didn’t exist, I sincerely think the general public missed out on making Midnight Sun by Zara Larsson the song of the summer

Animators had a field day with this episode

that damn smile, man

iykyk

Here's everything I bought at #AnimeNYC 2025! 🧵

I think I just heard the KPop Demon Hunters sing-a-long bus blasting Golden outside my hotel

I've become my own worst enemy

I’m just now realizing that by the time I get to ANYC, all of the merch I was looking forward to buying might be sold out by then. Which may be a blessing or a curse depending on how you look at it 🤔

I’m ngl, trash talking my Jett (who was being toxic to me while in his three-stack on Discord) after clutching a 1v2 retake to win the game 13-5 felt extremely cathartic 😇 how pathetic do you have to be to verbally abuse randoms in front of your friends 💀

I love her so much, man

Something tells me Vyse is gonna get a nerf after Champs

Just watched a TikTok where someone said they believe Taylor Swift is gonna perform at the Super Bowl halftime show next year because it’ll take place at Levi’s Stadium, home of the 49ers, and their mascot is Sourdough Sam, sourdough being what she talked about on New Heights

I've gotta stop caring about people who couldn't give less of a damn about me lol

Fantastic episode of Fragrant Flower. It felt like the first five episodes were building up to something, and I think this is a great sign for the halfway point

Thread of the merch I bought at #Anirevo2025 organized by vtuber or anime! 🧵

Here's everything I bought at #Anirevo2025 (organized by artist)! 🧵

About to board my first ever flight in first class (duration: a little over two hours). Only reason why I booked it was because it was somehow only $1 cheaper than Economy

Ok, now let me go over the pros and cons of #Anirevo2025 #ARV2025 as a first-time Anirevo congoer and an amateur con attendee 🧵

Now that the weekend is over, here’s a full recap of what happened during the -Synchronize!- concert on Sunday that spurred an apology from Anirevo 🧵 #Anirevo2025 #ARV2025 #hololiveSTAGE25

Biggest surprise at Anirevo so far is the number of artists selling merchandise for Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh, KPDH, Valorant, and, of all things, the green yuri, which mind you doesn’t have an anime adaptation yet 🤯

I finally finished KPop Demon Hunters, and I thought it was alright - 7/10. The plot was decent, but the dialogue was kinda awkward. I’m bummed there wasn’t a resolution with Rumi and Celine. Best parts were definitely the soundtrack and animation

Still in the lengthy process of editing my vlogs, but I just had to share this small snippet with the world

#タコピーの原罪 #タコピー

Got out of watching the Fantastic Four movie, albeit in the wrong screening. I definitely walked into the theater on my ticket, but I guess something changed and it didn’t update my ticket info in time

I now understand the appeal of Yachiyo

chat, is this aura farming

man, I love this show so much

Probably the worst clip I've ever hit, but we take these I guess

Happy 📅!

I'm suddenly reminded why I hate anime discourse outside of awards season

OpenAI updated ChatGPT to sound more natural in voice mode. I noticed it immediately when it began adding filler words to its responses. It's actually uncanny

Her smile is radiant
