Got to see a short preview of the de Young Art of Manga exhibit! It’ll open fully on Sep 27 with a cosplay day and a talk with Yamazaki Mari (Thermae Romae). There’s so much to see that I need go at least three more times.

Even though I got a minor head injury a couple days ago, at least I didn’t lose my head.

Haga took inspiration from two stories that talk about the love of humankind. On the other hand, Kang was reading the Bible while working on the material.

Thank you @crunchyroll.com for having ASL interpreters at the Anime Fan Fest! Now I have an interpretation of ALI’s Lost in Paradise

Anybody happen to catch Rooster Fighter during the Night of New Exclusives at Adult Swim’s on the Green at SDCC? I was surprised since it premiered before the Rick and Morty episode. Initial impressions is that it lands the comedy but the animation was okay in the 15 minutes I saw

米津玄師さんのロサンゼルスコンサートはまだ考えています。特にアンコールのMCの言葉です。 米津さんとwowakaさんの友情に感動しています。 その時に泣きましたので、言葉は他の人と確認していました。 I was touched by Yonezu’s dedication to wowaka at his performance yesterday.

Director Bong Joon Ho saying he’s so jealous of the other directors Steven Yuen has worked with. He’s working on a movie who can hopefully encompass Steven’s talent

Bong Joon Ho Exhibit at the Academy Museum!

Of course it would be just a bit cloudy during totality so I couldn’t take amazing pictures of the lunar eclipse tonight but here they are

Yellowjackets panel!

I’m thankful for everyone who checked in on me and my family during the Eaton Fires 🙏 I’m ok, but my apartment is still smokey. For now, I’m focusing on efforts to help deliver donations and items directly to those who need it.

Forgive my crap phone quality and enjoy this local Great Horned Owl

Today I learned not only is Kenshi Yonezu incredibly talent in singing, drawing, and composing… he’s 6’2 or 188cm. I thought he was standing on a platform during his Kouhaku performance #米津玄師

Fujii Kaze playing dead at Kouhaku is so him coded. Probably wasn’t hard when NY is 42 degrees

These Baymax seat covers are giving Scooby Doo villain

I'm just learning how many Cantonese variations of guava (standard: 番石榴 fan sek lau) there are. The other popular regional way to say it, 雞屎果 (gai si gwo), is literally chicken poop fruit💀And another variant that is unserious

Dropping by the @omorigame.bsky.social 4th anniversary and @omocat.bsky.social 10th anniversary exhibition at @gallerynucleus.bsky.social! I’ve seen a lot of Omori fans streaming the game again, so you should stop by if you’re in the area!

Lunar halo!

I love that this Yu-Gi-Oh card is in someone’s mixed media collage quilt

I really want the Saber shirt that Director Enokido, Director Sakazume, and Yukei Yamada were wearing at the #Fate20th event. It’s a custom one Yukei drew with Richard making a ドヤ face wielding a sword that’s “FAKE”

No one at work recognized my Halloween costume (sad) but I got compliments for a great suit (happy)
