New on the MediaOCD blog... While revisiting an old favorite of mine, I stumbled upon the legacy of an animator who left an indelible impact on the entire anime industry. In today's edition of Beside Myshelf, I pay tribute to the great Yasuo Ohtsuka. mediaocd.com/beside-myshe...

Before I was even on @lupinpod.bsky.social as a cohost, one of the episodes I was on I mentioned: - Bam Margera's butt brand - the amount of feet shots in the episode - if mummification in ancient Egypt was akin to taxidermy - said stealing from Target was probably okay
