Episodic releases are good, actually.

🕰️The poorly defined retro timeline of Spy x Family is the series' greatest strength, writes @trentlcannon.bsky.social www.thepopverse.com/tv-spy-x-fam...

I love strength training. It makes me better able to throw Nazis in the bin.

Guys, gals, and nonbinary pals: Anime Herald Magazine is getting a second issue.

The Dan Da Dan manga is taking the will they-won't they trope to soap opera levels... and it doesn't need to. www.thepopverse.com/comics-dan-d...

If you hide your gender identity to fit in, never feel like you've betrayed yourself🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 It's proof that you have a beautiful and kind heart. Chiitan will continue to send out messages until the world becomes a place where you can live with confidence and be yourself.

Could do without all the One Piece news hitting on the same day.

The Halo devs are disgusted and angry, meanwhile, Microsoft/Xbo couldn't be bothered at all. Figured as much.

Is this the end of One Piece filler as we know it?

Gonna be honest with you all: I turned off email notifications while I was working at MCM over the weekend and the impact on my mental health was palpable. Maybe we werent meant to be contactable all the fucking time. Maybe that is bad for us, actually.

I really did it once.

The fact that this merch isn't going to be available for Christmas is, honestly, corporate malpractice.

I am, it must be said, a salty bitch.

As @sam-animeherald.bsky.social would say, looks like the Tariff Otaku is jorking it again.

Hold up. So he actually posted a video of him shitting on American citizens? And he still has a job? Like, if I posted something like that, I would be immediately and indefinitely unemployed.

SEO is a plague upon society.

I have seen the first two episodes of Trigun Stargaze and it is all about the hope. Both as a source of strength and as a destructive force. Basically, I bloody loved it and can't wait to see more. www.thepopverse.com/tv-trigun-st...

So, we're putting up a social media blast later, but we just opened apps for retailers to buy AH Mag wholesale - partnering with NetWise to handle integration into the storefront. 30% off orders of 10+. There's an approval, but it's mostly just a "we need to make sure this business exists" thing

I hate the fact that I wrote a shit load of code articles for them several years ago. Fuck gambling and fuck people who put that shit in front of kids all the time.

Trying this once more: In 2004, Save Our Sailors member Fernando Gonzalez posted the group's "Manifesto" to his personal website, which outlined all of the group's goals and planned means of achieving them That site's long gone, never archived; I just have excerpts. Does anyone have a copy?

It's taken a couple of days to really gather my thoughts on this, but MAPPA destroying Sayo Yamamoto as they have is something I'll never be able to reconcile. She was a brilliant creator who deserved the world, but was ground into paste by The Anime Factory. I pray for Manabu Otsuka's downfall.

"Towards the end of One Piece"

I respect the shit out of her for using her platform to tell fascists to get fucked.

The cheer i let out when my girl showed up was feral.

Aside from the ethical and environmental issues, AI makes you fucking lazy. There is no greater tell that someone has used AI than when they can't be bothered to do simple edits. They literally cannot muster any effort to do anything creative because AI teaches you to let that part of you die.

Even the Pope hates clickbait.

We found antifa's greatest warrior.

Am I forever destined to see the first episodes of Trigun remakes at the Javitis? Signs point to yes.

I give no shits about baseball, but I am happy that the Yankees lost because of the joy it brings to my timeline.

Spy x Family season 3 is upon us and we'd just like to remind you all that our happy little slice of life comedy is about to become about the horrors of war. Because this is the M.A.S.H. of anime. www.thepopverse.com/anime-spy-x-...

Inside the emotional and technical process of bringing Final Fantasy VII Remake to the Nintendo Switch 2, according to director Naoki Hamaguchi. @square-enix-games.com Read on: www.thepopverse.com/gaming-final...

Other than one interview tonight, I am done with NYCC prep. Now I just have to, you know, do the convention.

Anime fans are about to find out what I meant when I said Spy x Family is the M.A.S.H. of anime. www.thepopverse.com/anime-spy-x-...

Finally watched the most recent episode of Fragrent Flower and I am doubling down on my "This show has the most non-toxic masculinity in anime"

I would much rather you tell me you are a piece of shit up front so I don't spend time and energy to be friends with you only to find out later. That is time and energy I won't get back and that could have been spent not being cozy with a shithead.

Gonna write a new horror novel: Help! My Toddler has Missed his Nap!

I deserve an award just for this header image in this article.

The first unintended victim of Texas's new anti obscenity law is... Dragon Ball Z? www.thepopverse.com/comics-manga...

I love these dumbass teenagers so much.

Holy shit somehow that very sketchy, VERY unsourced rumor that “Crunchyroll is using software made by an Israeli-based company” morphed into “Israel owns Crunchyroll”. This is just a sampling of the crazy posts I’ve seen already while just trying to see if *anyone ever verified the original story*.

It is a good thing I dont post pictures of my son online because, let me tell you, he has been obscenely cute the last six months.

Really cool to spot a piece I wrote linked to in here.

On a day when Jimmy Fallon admitted to being a toothless coward, at least Kimmel and Colbert are making a show of standing up to the racist tangerine. www.thepopverse.com/tv-jimmy-kim...

Why is it that when I have no time at all, I suddenly feel the drive to do something weird and creative? Why do I hate my free time so intensely?

So, I am at NYCC next week. Any fellow anime people want to meet up and share war stories?

I cover a lot of late night for work and I can confidently say that this statement does not surprise me and it shouldn't surprise you.

I'm writing an article on the new Crunchyroll subtitling pipeline, and at this point I'd really like to get in touch with someone who does subtitle work for CR and has had to deal with said pipeline already to confirm my findings. DMs are open, you can be an anonymous source. Please spread the word!

Saudi Arabia and President Trump's son-in-law are attempting to purchase Electronic Arts for $55 billion. www.thepopverse.com/gaming-ea-el...

Of course I was wearing a Dragon Ball shirt when we filmed this. This is me.
