I truly believe that @yattatachi.com, @animefeminist.com, @okazu.yuricon.com, & @animeherald.com are still around because of spite, determination, sweat & tears, & the power of their communities. They continue to brave the storm. I hope more folks will discover them & help strengthen them.

I started at “Why does this music sound like a chip tune version of a song I should know?” and then title reveal was as wild Tom said

Patcon today! Here’s my two entries. -The Fukuoka Nu Gundam I intentionally didn’t put extra accessories on because I wanted it to match the actual statue & posed it based it off my photos. It’s in the straight build Gunpla category. -The Liger Zero Panzer is in the anime mecha non-Gundam category

There were other “warning” style stickers like these for other tropes, but I could not tell you what they were. If you happen to have any of these, I’d love to see them!

Doug Wilder @nigoki.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Finally found something I wanted to put this sticker I’ve had for a long time. It’s definitely a relic from a past era of anime fandom in the US. I think I got it at one Otakon in the early 00s.

Jumping on this one as well. There’s quite a few more that I love, but for the shaping who I am, this has to be the biggest set. The top row is especially pertinent. You could change it to manga and the only difference would be it’d be the Origin version of MSG.

I need to make my own, but pleasantly surprised to see Tekkaman Blade on your list. Don’t know if we’ve ever discussed it much together.

For some reason I thought this was the finale. Six more months for the real final volume. Still, enjoyed this volume and looking forward to the epilogue

I’m not sure if I’m ready to read the finale. This has been a hell of a ride. It doesn’t replace Origin as my favorite Gundam manga, but it’s an extremely close second. I’ve got some great memories with friends associated with this work.

I expected high level picture quality on the Akira 4K remaster, but it also sounded incredible. If you have the chance, go see this in a theater during this run.

I wonder if you could track down any sort of old catalogs or promtional materials to see what shades are the ones they promoted.

Personally, this remains my favorite of Kon’s works. I still wonder what other incredible projects we could’ve gotten from him if fate had been kinder.

Doug Wilder @nigoki.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

I was talking to some friends about Satoshi Kon and Paprika yesterday so I decided to double check the release date. Turns out Sept. 2 is the 20th anniversary of it premiering at Venice. I think got a rewatch in my future. (Nov 25 is when it hit theaters in Japan) It does not feel that old.

I struggle with going to see movies by myself, but finally got to Spider-Man Brand New Day. So glad I didn’t have anything spoiled for me because man did I enjoy that ride. Gonna have to poke a few people to discuss things.

It took me a bit to figure that part out too. From the US I had to add 011 and 81 at the start and take out the “0” of the start of the number they sent me.

Thank you! Who knows if I’ll get it and it’ll be planning a trip on sorta short notice, but life’s too short not to try.

Roughly Tokyo area. Looking at a map, I saw it’s sorta across the bay from Tokyo Disney

Man, now Peter Cullen? RIP to one of the most culturally important voices for giant robot media in the US – not just as Optimus Prime, but as the the voice that sold a generation on this little thing called "Gundam." youtu.be/OW7GYCbu6Os

I hope this horrible week teaches us one thing: you will be remembered and loved infinitely more for moments of kindness, friendship, and joy than for power, dominance, or bullying. you have the choice for what sort of life you want to live. make the right one.

His voice defined the character and brought so many of us a lot of great memories.

I once saw a comment that basically said "Peter Cullen could walk down the street, say he needed our help in the voice of Optimus Prime and countless members of a generation would, without any questions, grab whatever gear they carry and follow him on a mission."

Picking a favorite bit by Tim Curry is pretty tough. Even off the top of my head I think of stuff like Skullmaster in Mighty Max and King Chicken in Duckman. To call those the tip of a mighty iceberg would still be an understatement. (Cont)

Ok, finally finished a build for the first time in awhile. Clear orange Haropla I grabbed at the Gundam Base pop up last week. I did use a metallic red marker for the eyes, but otherwise it was a quick snap build. And there’s been some progress MG Barbatos Lupus too.

Just a tip for everyone. Sunrise have been celebrating it's 50th by having a livestream where they show the first episode of a whole lot of anime. It's not subtitled but it's very nice to have on while working/getting a look at some old classics and rarer stuff. ♡ www.youtube.com/live/anU3MhE...
