Behold, a 3000 year old Chinese ceremonial bronze axe bearing a human face of which archeologists described as "fearsome and fierce".

Somewhere deep down within my soul, I want to learn Irish and travel to Ireland, and become the fabled Chinese dude from that short film. I know it's kinda insensitive. But I also think Irish people will appreciate it. Not because I speak Irish, but because of my twisted sense of humor.

If you haven't heard: China's ugliest animation Niu Lai is now reportedly the most profitable film ever, hailed as "handcrafted slop" in an age of AI. It was the newest viral sensation. Except... that's not actually the full story. Here is the complete and unhinged saga. youtu.be/p-5N4hdfGOE

At least that's the story according to RedNote and Weibo. By the way, I clicked on one micro-drama on YouTube to get some footage, and now my YouTube feed looks like a porn site.

This is still unfolding, so take it with a grain of salt, but apparently AI drama just doesn't generate enough revenue to cover costs, and many investors have gone back to the human slop factories. With the Golden Week and Winter coming, the industry is busier than ever.

So, I waited until now to finish our Niu Lai video, believing I could finally give everyone a complete story. In the video, I mentioned how Gen-AI has upended the Chinese micro-drama industry earlier this year. Literally two weeks after I wrote that, the Gen-AI drama bubble appears to have burst. 🫠

Why casualty? What so casual about it? Seems pretty serious to me.

Here's one that's nice and simple and probably isn't AI.

Staring at all the AI generated Niu Lai memes all week has melted my brain. Just a few more days.

Too much context required for this one joke. But I'm making it anyway!

The myth originated from people spotting frequent Sailor Moon cameo in the Slam Dunk manga.

TIL the love triangle between Takehiko Inoue (Slam Dunk), Naoko Takeuchi (Sailor Moon), and Yoshihiro Togashi (Yu Yu Hakusho) never happened, and it was just an internet myth. Anyway, Takeuchi sensei looks exactly like someone who drew Sailor Moon.

It's that special feeling during summer break, when you were left at home alone, and your parents were at work. For a few hours, you had to take care of yourself. You were standing on the verge of becoming an adult. That's why the images all feel a little... scary.

Chinese Dreamcore is more specific than a general longing for a simpler time. Nearly all of its iconic images are set on a summer day, with no humans around.

Every September I get an incredible rush of dopamine when my film production professor asks for a link to my graduation film, presumably to show it to the new class. I'll keep bragging about this and you cannot stop me.

Remembering that time my friend and I walked up to an abstract painting, and he scoffed:"I could've painted that". It's his painting. We were at the school's year end exhibition.

It's why Mechagodzilla is called Kiryu (machine dragon) despite looking like a dino. The context also helps explain why Godzilla and Ghidorah are rivals.

Accented Cinema @accentedcinema.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

It means "terrible lizard" and it's rooted in Greek not Latin.

I just want to tell you that the Chinese word for dinosaurs is "terror dragons".

So, in the past decade, 丑萌 (ugly cute) has been all the rage in China, reaching its peak with Ne Zha and Labuhu. Chasing that high, the trend now gives us SpongeBeb.

Regardless of your opinion on the Ocarina of Time remake, I think we can all agree that it looks unreal. ;)

"Rail Road" is another phrase I struggle. I keep saying "wail woad" like I'm the middle age dude version of Koseki Biboo.

Sorry didn't mean for this to come off as whiny. I was just thinking if some of the comments that accuse faceless channels being "AI" are actually bots mimicking a popular comment.

Sometimes I wonder if YouTube also thinks I'm AI, just because of the way I speak.

The Mainland Chinese title for the Minions is 小黄人, Tiny Yellow Men, which sounds extremely racist when you translate it back into English for whatever reason.

If this channel ever ends, at least I can stand proud knowing I turned down Raid Shadow Legends 4 times, which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened 4 times.

Why is the word "Squirrel" so hard to pronounce! My Chinese tongue is all tied up by fuzzy ass pine rats!
