From a 2001 edition of Newtype's 100% Collection: Turn A Gundam in striking art nouveau. They clash, uncompromising... Series character designer Akira Yasuda was a Capcom veteran, handling both planning and character designs for many of their arcade hits of the 80s and 90s.

A screencap of two pages from a scan of the issue on IA (Mittlemeyer) wit very striking illustration of characters from the show (Loran Cehack, Dianna Soreil, and Gym Ghingnham) back to back, Gundams towering overhead and mimicing their stance.

inject this into my veins this is a man whos been mad about modern isekai and its departure from shoujo for the past 30yrs. i genuinely hope the reboot of mkr gives us the return to shoujo isekai

While “isekai” stories have become increasingly popular in the last decade, even in the '90s, there were many stories where female protagonists get transported to a magical world. What do you think makes Magic Knight Rayearth different from modern isekai? What makes these female-led stories interesting for modern audiences?

MIURA: The biggest difference is that Magic Knight Rayearth is a story about growth and the sacrifices that come with it, rather than one about cheat abilities.

In many modern isekai series, protagonists either begin with—or quickly obtain— cheat abilities that allow them to effortlessly overwhelm their opponents. Much of the appeal lies in the wish-fulfillment of watching an unstoppable hero dominate every battle.

By contrast, Hikaru, Umi, and Fū are simply three ordinary junior high school girls who are suddenly summoned to the isekai (fantasy) world of Cefiro. They take up swords, suffer injuries, shed tears, and gradually awaken both their magical powers and inner strength as they overcome their fears and insecurities. This journey of personal growth is one of the defining charms of 1990s isekai fantasy.
Even today, many stories aimed at female audiences center on romance. In the first arc of Magic Knight Rayearth, however, what drives Hikaru, Umi, and Fū is not romantic feelings for boys, but the powerful bond they share and their promise to make it back to Tokyo together. Their genuine sisterhood—built on mutual respect and supporting one another through their weaknesses—is something I believe modern audiences who appreciate independent relationships can deeply relate to.
In the latter half of the story, they don't simply carry out the mission they've been given. They begin questioning what principles should govern this world and ultimately make the choice that will determine its fate. Rather than waiting for someone else to save them, they take control of their own destiny.... alt continued

I believe this image of strong women choosing their own path embodies exactly the kind of empowerment that resonates with today's anime fans

I know the cube shelf for LDs is stock standard and all, but I think this works pretty well for what I got.

My collection of LaserDiscs on a 2x4 cube shelf, the top two shelves showing facings of the 2 Mobile Suit Gundam Memorial Boxes, the rest of the shelfs having spine-facings of various box sets and single releases.

Friendly reminder that Duolingo was initially concieved to trick people into translating articles for free, which they later used as training data for MTL algorithms. Duolingo's primary purpose has NEVER been about teaching you a language, even from the start! slate.com/technology/2...

If it doesn’t charge users and, so far, doesn’t serve them any ads, how does Duolingo make money? It tricks you into working as an unpaid translation service. At the end of some lessons, Duolingo will ask you if you want to practice by translating a real-world document. Which will turn out to be, say, a BuzzFeed article. By melding together enough stabs at this task from high-level Duolingo users, the app can render a surprisingly accurate translation. Which is worth good money. So far, Duolingo has contracts with BuzzFeed and CNN to translate stories from English into languages such as Spanish, French, and Portuguese. This service is already earning Duolingo hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, but von Ahn predicts he will be adding a raft of new clients soon. “The language translations market is huge,” he says. “It’s a $30 billion per year market.”

I was just informed Tiffany Grant sent this to Criterion. 🥲

Tiffany Grant

The email I just sent to Criterion:
For several weeks, Criterion has been advertising that, on September 1, you would begin streaming the anime TV series Neon Genesis Evangelion with the original English dub from the 90s.
However, now that it is finally available, it is in fact NOT the original dub. It's the one that was done for Netflix in 2019.
You are listing the original ADV Films dub cast as the actors in the show, including my name: Tiffany Grant. If you are not going to use our dub, then I demand that you remove my name from your website immediately. This is false advertising.
Neither myself, nor Spike Spencer or Amanda Winn Lee (she does NOT hyphenate her name worked on the Netflix dub. Either use our version and credit us appropriately, or stop lying and telling everyone it's the original dub when it is obviously not.
