Once again after removing the demographic categories, only 3 of the 11 nominees are shoujo... This will be the third year Shogakukan has removed the demographic label from the awards and only one shoujo has won in the last 2 years out of 8 total winners

Kadokawa stated that it did not approve of an AI dub, and Sentai stated that it wasn't aware of the dub beforehand.

The anime film, No Game No Life 0, has also been given an AI dub by Amazon. THIS MOVIE ALREADY HAS A DUB. A reminder: Don't hate watch these. That gives views to this disgrace, and on paper, will make it look like the AI dub is performing well.

Generative AI has no fucking place in art. This is a disgrace to voice actors, and every human creative who worked to make Banana Fish. It's disturbing that Amazon would take a story of queerness, especially in this current climate, and use AI to take its voice.

And, we got it up! To see a dive into the influence of #Tezuka on animation, as well as how cultural exchanges across the pond that have helped #anime develop into what it is today- check out my collaboration with Fionapollo!

The Fortnite season finale event went hard

I've been cooking on this with @fionapollo.bsky.social for awhile. I hope everyone enjoys!

Quick update on my C Control video: It has been delayed a bit due to the corruption of a video file. Apologies! I have to redo one of the sections in its entirety.

Oh, my God, Crunchyroll, if you don't have closed captions sitting around for Magic Knight Rayearth (even though I'm betting you ACTUALLY DO and you aren't using them), PLEASE just let me caption Magic Knight Rayearth for you.

NEW VIDEO OUT NOW I take it all back.... youtu.be/Ha25r8Gw0LQ

This is the funniest thread I have ever read about Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Enjoy this time capsule of Japanese fans discussing the third episode. Spoilers for the show! detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_...

I'll be posting all of them on my Instagram later, but here is a photo from my Kingsley shoot. 🥹 The Meadowlark series means so much to me, and it was a joy to capture its whimsy, if only for a moment. @rkarchphotography.bsky.social did an incredible job helping me bring Kingsley to life!

Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou is still one of the prettiest anime I've ever seen. The color palette has rich earthy tones that make the world feel real.

Ya'll, I completed a bucket list item of getting a professional photoshoot done in a cosplay I made 🥹

Okay, #locodol seems absolutely adorable. Has anyone seen this? I can't get over their designs and the colors. Never been huge into idol anime, but I dunno, this might make me start.

The anime & cosplay community has a deep problem with racism. SquidKid was a cosplayer who committed suicide, in part due to racist harassment on their cosplay posts Gatekeep racists from fandom, make it loud that they're not welcome here. And white creators, we need to step up & call this shit out

Disclaimer- this question's answers might be used in a future video essay. When it comes to animated shows you watched growing up, what titles had a big impact? And if you don't mind sharing a bit of detail, I'd be interested to know what that was.

In another timeline, this could be The End of Evangelion:

Me, months ago: Oh, this video will be nice and simple. Me, now: This thing will be the fucking death of me

very glad that they're spending all of their time during a government shutdown very close to thanksgiving ensuring poor people can't eat, dangling cancelling flights altogether over people's heads, and repeatedly hammering down on transgender people for the unforgivable crime of existing

After crunching the final parts of my cosplay, I finally finished #Kingsley from the Meadowlark series for a Halloween convention. I'm absolutely over the moon that I won an MC award at Anime Oklahoma! This cosplay meant so much to me. Thank you, @yaelokre.bsky.social for such a wonderful world.

Holy shit! Hope is possible! Hope is not futile! HOPE! Happy Wednesday and congratulations New York! ❤️

Mad as hell that they got free art out of me. 😡 😡

I'm nearing completion of my next essay! I was hoping for October 31st, but it's been delayed slightly. Sometime in November for sure 🙂‍↕

So anyway I restored Daicon IV from scratch. This was a joint project with Chris Person (papapishu), who sourced the incredibly Rare Laserdisc release. The raw files can be found on the internet archive for those interested in processing it yourself. Enjoy! archive.org/details/DAIC...

You gotta be pretty willfully ignorant/media illiterate to miss the overt politics in One Piece. Geoff and @treylar.bsky.social smashed it out of the park with this one. Unfortunately this seems like exactly the kinda video that the youtube algo won't like, so I extra encourage you to watch it

The 16mm film scan of Sailor Moon Sailor Stars is gorgeous! Scan uploaded by @kinekovideo.bsky.social Check out their work- they scan film and digitize it!

This is a travesty on so many levels. A real life Palace of Versailles coming to life. While people will lose their food assistance, social services are losing funding, and people are being snatched off the streets- this is what our tax dollars are going to.

KINGSLEY HAS A SONG OF ORIGIN. I REPEAT, KINGSLEY HAS A SONG OF ORIGIN. I have a normal level of excitement about this. (Cosplay incoming) #yaelokre #kingsley #meadowlark

I’m busy cooking with gas on the design layout of the magazine so y’all do ya gurl a solid and pre-order your copy today! Maybe… just maybe Sam will share a preview spread next week. 👀

This is how the game ended. I will accept no objections.

Almost every state in the USA is ending SNAP benefits on November 1st. This is a disgusting travesty and failure of the government to care for its most vulnerable. If you're going to be in need of assistance, the link below can help you get started.

I'll be a panelist at Anime Oklahoma in Midwest City! Oct 31st-Nov 2nd Friday Winning Love by Daylight: Sailor Moon & Queerness: 11:30 AM Shojo OVAs of the 1990s: 2:30 PM Saturday Anime Openings Chaos: 12PM Cosplay contest! Sunday Return to Yharnam: Bloodborne's 10 Year Anniversary: 10 AM

Fun fact: There's a movie about an unqualified politician who tries to build the tallest tower in city, disregards the warnings of scientists, wants to dismantle libraries & museums, tries to be rid of emergency services, & attempts to lock up undesired groups I just described PAW Patrol: The Movie

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

I'm going to be at two cons this month as a panelist! Stay tuned.

art that claims to be “apolitical” is often the most revealing it reflects what a culture considers safe

I have to give a shoutout to this video on the history of women in cosplay by my friend @hakc.bsky.social and specifically how attractive female cosplayers have not "ruined" cosplay as we know it.

Agreed.

人形ちゃん

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

Me, a few months ago... "Oh, this will be a short, maybe 25 minute video!" Me editing, "Why the hell did I make this single section 13 minutes long!?"

I am so excited that my girl #Violetevergarden is finally getting figures 🥹

There's a charm in 70s openings I just don't see as much anymore. This is one of my favorites.

I am begging into the void for #SummertimeRendering and #LinkClick to get Blu-ray releases in the US. Add #Oooku if you're feeling generous. Thanks for your attention to this extremely pressing matter.

#DarkSouls3 #DS3

half the bars in okc are having some kind of rest in piss ryan walters party, love that for us

a 2012 survey on manga reading habits when asked about "genres" respondents enjoyed the biggest gender gap was on shoujo web.archive.org/web/20130222...
