OK, so now it makes ALL of the sense why Studio Pierrot started streaming the Ninku anime on YouTube yesterday! For those who don't get the relevance, Masashi Kishimoto admitted that he created Naruto, in part, because he wished there was more Ninku anime. He's a big fan.

Also wrote this sort of stream of consciousness opinion piece of sorts on some general thoughts of the decline of anime with longer episodes.

Little writeup I did on some cool English versions of two iconic Japanese magazines. Thank goodness I finally got through writing this one.

For anyone familiar with Japanese history, but was the Inuo in The World is Dancing the same or similar to the Inu-Oh in Yuasa's 2021 film? Just curious after watching the finale of the former and reading that he was contemporaries with Zeami.

Ok, time to do some dangerous ~opinions~ on the Tapas shutting down subject. First: I see everybidy going "see, that's why you should not rely on a platform, you gotta have your own website" and my bro in christ, do you have any idea how expensive and HARD it is to have your owm website?

I've been trying to write without filters or constraints on first drafts. I've always struggled to balance that fake feeling of trying to put down the perfect sentences and just getting things across on a page, followed by rigorous editing and revision. It's always a process.

A little motivation

4 panel comic:
Panel 1: forg is drawing. There’s some extra pencils and some coffee on his desk. He says “all I can do..”
Panel 2: he is now doing work on his computer. Looks like he completed some drawings. He continues “..is my best”
Panel 3: he is now making some food in the kitchen, wielding a pan and wearing a tiny chefs hat. He continues talking to himself “..and my best..”
Panel 4: at the end of his long cozy day he’s in bed, and finishes his sentence “.. will do”

Great read on GITS. I remember reading the manga and seeing how different it was from Oshii’s film. Both can exist, but I appreciate having Science Saru’s manga accurate version b/c it’s more colorful, fun, bouncy, and punchy. Maaya Sakamoto also fully taking the mantle of Major was cool too.

I've faced some similar issues doing anime interviews before, but thankfully haven't run into any huge problems either during or after the transcription or approval process. I do think JP studios/companies should stop ghosting ppl or being opaque if you are looking for approvals tho.
