questioning Minoru Oota's sanity(positive) and my own after watching this episode of denmoku

Ashita no Nadja #42 Nadja can't catch a break.... kids anime btw

Hard not to fall in love with Sayonara Lara's infectious, vibrant energy. Plenty of projects have nostalgia in their sights, but rarely do you see a case where earnestness in appreciation of analog works meets digital mastery and simply brilliant artistic sensibilities

jaadugar, denmoku, and sayonara lara back to back has been too much for me to handle but each one has been super good

Debatt: Vill regeringen och SD ha apartheid i Sverige "I städer som Wien, Singapore och London har man medvetet byggt prisvärda lägenheter i välställda områden Det har skapat tryggare gator, bättre skolor och högre social rörlighet" www.aftonbladet.se/debatt/a/V6j...

Stunning premiere for Jaadugar. The level of cultural research and respect is on display, but Tomato Soup & the team led by Abel Gongora and Naoko Yamada make it clear they don't want a detached historical retelling with affecting, highly subjective storytelling. As unique as it is high quality

They simply have to kill this guy. They have to put him out of his misery.

Finished Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. What an unbelievable tour de force. Lovingly crafted and insanely dense from start to finish, a game that grapples with the concept of a remake and turns it into a beautiful, generous experience. Part 3 can't come soon enough!

It is seriously alarming how many of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful people are just screamingly mentally unwell in deeply toxic, dangerous ways.

夏目真悟×マッドハウスによる長編アニメ「ghost／夜の果て」、来年2月11日公開　キービジュアル＆特報映像到着 主題歌・挿入歌は羊文学、劇伴音楽は君島大空 https://natalie.mu/comic/news/678669?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=social #夏目真悟 #マッドハウス

Ashita no Nadja has been one gut punch after another the past few eps and Tatsuya Nagamine manages to present the latest on in the most brutal fashion imagineable.

Ashita no Nadja 38 hits you with a constant sense of dread until it unleashes it all in the final few minutes

I have been playing Xenoblade Chronicles DE for the first time lately and it's been so good The game's combat feels really dense(maybe too dense) and the storytelling is really cool too

Tamako Market is ultimately a story about various forms of love towards family, friends, significant other, etc. Being content with the people you surround yourself with, people you love, and people who love you.

Published a new set of Patreon notes, this time KyoAni-focused. Countless production materials exclusive to the studio's latest event, the state of their productions & staff allocation, and how those creatives approached the likes of Denmoku / RuriDragon / End Roll www.patreon.com/posts/secret...

if AI lobbyists actually cared about human progress they'd go all in on investing in fusion power research tbh tbh

Scriptwriter Hiroyuki Kawasaki has been revealed to have passed away on January 23 at the age of 60. He has written scripts for many anime such as After War Gundam X, Sakura Wars, Tsubasa Chronicle, Ranma 1/2, Blade of the Immortal, and more. news.denfaminicogamer.jp/news/2605283h

the average consumer has absolutely 0 power over the AI bubble and the building of data centers you cannot boycott genAI successfully, because it's not a consumer product in the first place

accidentally ordered tokusatsu instead of tonkatsu at this restaurant and now this guy won't stop doing stunts. The waiter can't even take him back because whenever he tries the guy strikes a pose and a bunch of explosions go off behind him

I should have started a math youtube channel during the pandemic I would have been rich

You'd think Partial Differential Equations are easier to grasp than Ordinary Differential Equations but you would be wrong And so was I

Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Cure is somehow genuinely terrifying, calming, and entertaining all at the same time

it's kinda wild how most of modern tech and engineering is built on things being "good enough" we're really just trusting mathematical approximations with our lives in day to day life, and have been for the past century

terrible. 20 years ago, the internet was full of hobbyist blogs and forums. over time, these have been replaced by paywalled substacks and private discord channels, each a walled garden. google's decision to prioritize AI just makes it less likely people will create free, public info

Watched Good Will Hunting for the first time yesterday This is what movies are all about, why I love stories, and the power they can have over you as a viewer

Gorgeous KV...

I have been rewatching the recent Stranger than Heaven trailer constantly since it came out I haven't been this excited for a new videogame in a long time

Guys. Heads up. Let’s talk about Hantavirus. There have been SEVERAL bad takes and BLATANT misinformation circulating regarding this outbreak so I figured it was a good idea to make a thread about it. Stay calm. Stay vigilant. Know your facts. Here’s ALL you need to know. 🧪🧵⬇️

p sure blatantly coercing your victim into retracting their accusation against you is not the genius move you think it is.

personally speaking. i would not admit to not knowing who the fuck i asked to comment for an article. professionally speaking, i would not publish something i am suspect of without something of a fight.

Public statement from the former staff of Buta Productions.

Interesting episode this week when it comes to the Heisei sensibilities of the production. The action shows the fondness for 3D environments, but there's still a restraint to how they're used. Ando & co see them as a tool to add dynamism, but clarity and readability remain absolute priorities

Wasn't acquainted with the victim, but the reververations of someone in that position being so awful are hitting friends who worked under him and did look up to his figure without knowing what he was up to. Hope he can be cut off from all communities to minimize the chances of this happening again

The stuff with fede is incredibly disappointing And it just has gotten worse the more I see

Sharing this post from Maryco over on X, where she posted a 33 page PDF on how she was groomed by @farfromani.bsky.social , the head of Butapro. Glad she spoke up, absolutely damning. drive.google.com/file/d/1TxOA...

all related parties of farfromani / fede ceo of butapro absolutely need to see this. i will have more to say about my experience working for him as i am able. x.com/maryco02_/st...

Me when i want More..... My Hero Academia

Satoshi Kon's unfinished last movie is very interesting. It's like Astro Boy gone wrong — the future promised in the '60s is now a post-apocalyptic ruin. Enough material is public (including a storyboard page) to get an idea of Kon's plan. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/inside-sat...

Because I don't wanna retype i'll just post a screenshot of what i've already said yesterday about this week's witch hat

His storyboards use the setting in neat ways too. Recursive architecture as a constant reminder that they're trapped, evocative positioning, but also positional awareness on a more practical sense

The prophesized Kawagoe episode of Witch Hat Atelier lived up to the crazy high expectations. He's very meticulous and thoughtful, happy to adapt to the environment of an adaptation that has been fleshing out the characters in the margins, but he's NOT going to leave his grandiose flair at the door

Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender is such a cool animated film it kinda makes me really mad that Paramount doomed it before it even had a chance

Some works like Mob Psycho or even HxH challenge action shonen's tendency of making children risk their lives for supposedly greater causes from a thematic angle. Yomi no Tsugai does it pragmatically: dude our illegal adopted child can't get hurt without health insurance or else WE die

I think about this all the time

It's kinda fucked up to think that the only reason this is possible is because of the covid 19 pandemic mRNA vaccines were pretty much given up on before it.

Yomi no Tsugai has already shifted into its final form: very funny, uncanny sitcom

Official statements noted that the Witch Hat Atelier anime was, under Shirahama's supervision, expanding on the original work. And it hasn't been until the incredible third episode that we've really seen what they meant, with Coco's test being fleshed out & connected more firmly to her character arc

many funny Cocos in today's WHA
