We've got a monolith of an anniversary today: the 40th for the OG Dragon Quest for Famicom in Japan. This was a landmark release in 1986, lifting elements from the dungeon-crawling RPGs popular on Japanese PCs and reworking them for console with a dream team of writers, artists, and musicians.

It's like even more obvious in these shots that she's sacrificing her hairline for the look

People calling john 12's fauxhawk "ugly" made me remember an observation I made back when pokemon swish was new that I don't think people would have liked Marnie's design as much if they realized the gray parts of her hair are buzzed and not colored

I wish i liked Nadeisco

The Gekiganger stuff in Nadesico is a delightful Ken Ishikawa/Go Nagai pastiche. There's something very quaint about a 90s anime, from an era now considered retro, doing retro throwbacks, it feels more authentic since it's still animated on cels.

Aiming for the Top: Gunbuster! An early news piece about Gainax's Top wo Nerae! in an issue of ANIMAG from that year. Reported as being developed as a 50-minute feature rather than the six episode OVA it released as (later a comp movie). And there's more of an emphasis on sports-mecha show mix.

Last year, miHoYo copied my puzzle game Ouros in Zenless Zone Zero. Because they are a recognized, billion-dollar studio and my game isn't well known, some people are now assuming that their version is the original, and mine is the clone. I hope this video clears that up.

There's an interesting kind of validation I feel from Leiji Matsumoto. "This is how it goes and it's wrong and it's unfair and we probably can't do much about it, but you're at least still allowed to acknowledge it all and feel upset about it".

Thank you so much to @blueskypuppy.bsky.social for letting me draw mini with my sona!!! I had so much fun drawing this! #nsfwart #furry #yuri

False equivalence. This is a convo about ownership. Spend $10.99/mo on CDs and in a year you've got 12 CDs. Yours forever even if you go broke and can't buy more. Spend $10.99/mo on streaming and then have to cancel? You've spent the same $ and you have...nothing. These are not equivalent systems.

"This anime from 1978 is probably going to feel dated and irrelevant" "Oh."

I present to you one of the first pieces of Super Sentai merchandise to come out in North America. This Go-Rangers story book was released to coincidence with the Hawaiian broadcast of Himitsu Sentai Gorenger (called Five Rangers) back in the 70s..

I've 3D scanned a glow-in- the-dark of a keshi figure depicting a Lynel from The Legend of Zelda! This figure was released in Lotte's 2nd series of Famicom Choco blind boxes, in or around 1986. Get the model here: archive.org/details/kesh...
