Again, please share. In every aspect of American history you will run smack dab into the critical contributions of Black people. It’s not Black history. It’s American history. Trying to erase it is a fool’s errand. We live it every day. time.com/5836444/blac...

I held off on this one for a long time because the cover made it look like a fairly normal innocuous class prez x gyaru schoolgirl yuri. It is not a fairly normal innoscuous class prez x gyaru schoolgirl yuri.

tfw you really want to champion a really good artist but there's no way to do so without admitting that you learned about them through their weird porn Touhou doujins

Apparently I share some kind of psychic bond with Shunsuke Sorato, because I am 3 for 3 with picking up his series about weird-looking kids in lust / love.

the “vibecession” talk to me is like asking why the water is boiling now when it wasnt boiling five minutes ago i mean the burner was set to the exact same temperature

Navigating the boundary between complicity with harmful systems in the interest of mitigating their harms, and trying to destroy those systems because the harms are too great to countenance is one of the hardest things any would-be moral actor can attempt.

somebody should write / probably has written a dissertation on how Uexküll became a signifier of lesbianism in Japanese pop culture

i feel like so many people don't realise the extend to which the entire thing was basically just like Burchill and Bindel getting mad on twitter 15 years ago that people didn't like their latest guardian articles.

I resent living in a world where Joe Rogan knows who Marc Andreesen is and cares about his opinion.

move over hemingway, we found a sadder and shorter story

Marriagetoxin is the solution to harem anime, because it's about a femboy teaching us that the best way to get a wife is to chug woman-respecting juice

I’m happy Moyoco Anno’s manga is getting a Broadway musical, but it is NOT the first musical based on a manga intended for English speaking audiences. The Death Note musical was composed, written and workshopped in New York, in English, back in 2014.

other take for the day: ambiguously bi aro shit-disturber troll Major Kusanagi *is* the canonical version of the character

If you love a character, you gotta buy their merch, even if that merch is some cheapo acrylic stands or something else similarly cheap and disappointing

read the damn manga version

The anime of Journal with Witch did a fantastic job of adapting the story and relationships, but the manga is an era-defining triumph of graphic literature and it could _only_ work as a manga. Same goes for literally everything Battan has ever done.

to the point of the image, Hidamari Sketch is more integral to Shaft's identity than Monogatari or Madoka

I think that GIRLS BAND CRY is to the 2020s what A Place Further Than the Universe is to the 2010s. And the funny fighting magical girl franchise for little girls has some of the best sakuga in the industry.

tl;dr: The pacing is fucked (it should have been 2 or 3 times as long) and the ending is a mess, but anything that makes me think of James Tiptree, Jr., Naoki Urasawa, and Kazuo Ishiguro at the same time is clearly doing something right. Josei manga stay winning! also more yuri than I expected

now that i’ve singie-handedly bullied KyoAni into making a RuriDragon anime, it’s time to shut my attention to getting CloverWorks to make a Someone Hertz anime.

Guy who grew up in the Pacific Northwest: Oh, shit, it’s May 18th. I wonder where my childhood jar of volcanic ash is now.

Hey so if you're in the USA, the FCC is floating the idea of making shows put a warning up if they include or discuss trans people and trans lives. A short paragraph saying this is messed up would help a lot! You gpt less than a week. Submit your comment by May 22: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

the long watch

We are saddened to hear of the passing of Yuji Ohno. A legendary musician who was the heart & soul of most of the music of Lupin the Third for nearly 50 years will certainly live on as his music & themes will continue to be synonymous with the famous thief.

I’ve received some questions about this, so I’d like to clarify: at Toronto Comic Arts Festival, I’m planning to hand out booklets and illustration cards! At the moment, I do not plan to sell manga or acceptcommissions. However, I will be giving autographs so please keep that in mind!🫶

If there weren't already a scanlation crew doing Shibuya Near Family, I'd do it myself, in the most literal translation possible, without explaining any of the puns or references. It would make Zippy the Pinhead feel like a Chilton manual in comparison.

I don't think I ever posted one of my most viral Sailor Moon comics here

There is something deeply infuriating about seeing people commenting that the Science Saru Ghost in the Shell "isn't true to the original". I know that for 95% of weebs and otaku, Oshii's movie *is* the original, but Oshii's whole deal is that he does his own thing with source material.

also, lesbiabs

man it is just so refreshing to actually see something that looks like Masamune Shirow's goofy-ass cartoon faces in a Ghost in the Shell anime
