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

"No only does the animation staff in the second episode continue to mirror FMA 2003, but also the ending is a solo Norimitsu Suzuki sequence with familiar textures & volume" ok bro!!! You're showing off at this point!!! It rules though!!!!

watching the earlier stream of artemis 2 splash down giving me so many goosebumbs such an insane feat

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

congratulations to the astronauts who get credit for a moon mission using rocket development work by trans women who had to quit their job and flee the state of florida and can’t celebrate this win with their coworkers

not me seeing recent articles about the artemis II re-entry at risk of becoming another columbia disaster the day before they splash down

Some news from NASA: “The crew of Artemis II are now the farthest any human has ever travelled, reaching a maximum distance of 252,752 miles from Earth. This surpasses the previous record set by Apollo 13 in 1970 by about 4,102 miles.”

To get ready for Artemis II's encounter with the Moon, I put together a visual history of lunar far side exploration. It's mostly images and maps, meant partly as an introduction to identifying a few prominent far side features. 🗃️🔭 invertingvision.com/2026/04/06/e...

youtu.be/z-j1uxBmis0 live coverage of astronauts traveling around the moon what a time to be alive

Yomi no Tsugai isn't just another Arakawa adaptation: it's at BONES, led by a director adjacent to her work & with sensibilities that have remained as those of the late 00s. It starts with an episode closely supervised by FMA's character designer. Damn right you can promote this as the new FMA

The Yomi no Tsugai premiere is as ridiculous(if not more) as the chapter it is adapting I'm really excited for the rest

while the push for less tech dependency is a net positive, i do think it's largely a consequence of rising global conservatism people are finding comfort and safety in the idea of living in the past

i miss k-on

Building a time machine so that David Productions' lead producer doesn't end up at Netflix #goals

I understand why people are mad that they're not getting a new episode after a random Netflix account said it'd be a weekly release (which actually referred to its eventual broadcast, I guess?), but also, bro there is no show to release yet. Greatly underestimating how advanced the production is

You knowl Ikoku Nikki owns because its passing thoughts are more resonant (conceptually & in their delivery) than the main themes of entire works. "The ways in which patriarchal behaviors are harmful for boys" could fill up a show, but here it's another thread in an episode about forging your self

Despite the amount of jankiness, i'm pleasantly surprised by the Steel Ball Run premiere. It was a ton of fun The Jojo franchise has a special place in my heart and it's a bit surreal to see SBR finally adapted into anime form.

Adapting a popular title *and* a videogame at that would often shackle creative teams, which is why it fucking rules that Sekiro decided to throw common sense out the window & double down on something this radical

Sometimes I'll watch commentary youtubers and it drives me insane when the person is constantly going "pre...pree-clampsia? What is that?" or "Reenee Dess-cartay? Am I pronouncing that right?". It's incredibly bold to make your job commenting on shit when you've apparently never heard of anything

In no uncertain terms, fuck the US

been 2 days since i watched it but the K-ON movie is everything i could have wanted and more Azusa is already the emotional core of the second season and the movie doubles down on that in a way that the climax of the story hits you even harder than it did in the TV series

My first article for @magicalstage.moe in over a year and it's about Mitsuru Aoyama! I got out the dusty line graphs and the spreadsheets to make something concrete about one of my favourite animators!

In the years since publishing my Wolfenstein essay, I’ve wondered what a truly “Jewish game” might look like. Does it need to explore the themes and narratives of the culture? Or could it simply star the most famous Jew of all time — Jesus Christ himself? youtu.be/8dkB-KTMB3o

Klart hon ska få stanna. Men inte på grund av betyg, språkskicklighet, utbildning eller volleyboll. Utan för att hon är en människa.

so i finished K-on yesterday

K-on is all about cherishing the time you have with the people around you despite it not being permanent. The uncertainty of growing up and potentially drifting apart from your peers is something everyone can relate to. You could call k-on a music anime but there isn't much for music nerds here.
