Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones (GBA, 2005)

finally got an honest response from the Meta support team

there's a terrible irony in using what I suspect is an unauthorized and uncompensated edit of Perry Bible Fellowship to deliver this message

when I was a child, I thought everyone who hated the water temple was a coward

The growing North American anime fandom was getting mainstream media attention by the mid-90s, with the Sci-fi Channel heading to Anaheim to ask a question: why are y'all so fascinated with Japanese animation and comic books? A neat peek at Anime Expo in 1994. #VideoBytes

HiAnime is dead, so here's a few important pieces of context to remember: 1. It was the biggest bootleg anime platform in the States, accounting for ~15% of all anime piracy with ~4M US monthly users per White Box analysis.

now that's podracing

I will wholeheartedly adore this era of US anime fandom until the day I die www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwyM...

This is extremely cool but man I can't believe they're still using that "anime" font in 2026.

Quest 40 is here! This week the party members play another round of Pokemon or Prescription, discuss their comfort anime, and for the main quest: Uma Musume, Cinderella Gray! youtu.be/zAg3fyDk8JI?...

brando sando working with apple tv is probably the second best possible scenario (the best being a wholly unrealistic independently-funded anime)

part 2 of @milesofficial.bsky.social's big north american anime business year in review is all about Netflix, after they released their recent report about the second half of 2025, and that big deal with studio MAPPA. and yes, we did discuss yuri on ice open.substack.com/pub/animebyt...

@mothersbasement.bsky.social and @milesofficial.bsky.social were right, Dogsred rules. Also, these brothers look suspiciously familiar…

In 2025, anime viewership on Netflix grew by more than 10% year-over-year. But what exactly did the claimed ~165 million anime viewers on Netflix actually watch? My analysis here: animebythenumbers.substack.com/p/2025-netfl...
