@gkids.com's release of The Last Blossom had the worst and best subtitles surprises. Worst: Subs were desynced 2-3 seconds. Best: Credits were fully translated, first time I've seen that. Absolutely loved it as someone who makes a point to watch credits, massive props to those who made it happen.

Had a funny Gunpla realization: The 20th anniversary kit (First Grade) and the 45th anniversary kit (Best Mecha Collection Revival Ver.) are opposite versions of the same idea.

In an incredible alignment of the stars, I got to see Cherry and Virgin for a second time. I am happy to report that it holds up.

If you're going to Otakuthon, PLEASE consider putting Cherry and Virgin (early movie screening) on your schedule. (Saturday 5:15-6:45pm) This is the second-ever showing of what will be one of the best anime movies of next year. Do not pass it up.

Reading Le Phénomène Gundam by @jpdubrulle.bsky.social (French Gundam translator and president of @aeug.fr) as research for my Intro to Gundam panel. Likely the best one-stop resource on Gundam in a non-asian language. Highly recommended if you can read French.

They say Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games, but then it seems like the young ladies do play fighting games. So yes, I would call that bad game design.

Is anyone here knowledgeable about the Gundam generation? (i.e. the New Anime Era Declaration generation, ~= Gen X / Shinjinrui?) I'm working on a reading of GQuuuuuuX as allegory for Khara's relationship with Gundam, but it's not as well sourced as I'd like; looking for someone to poke holes in it

Sunrise has put in so much effort over the past 30 years to make sure that there is always a simple choice for someone's first Gundam (First or otherwise). And yet, this seems to have only caused further confusion and discord. How tragically, profoundly, maddeningly Gundam.

Who called it "naming a villainous Gundam faction after The Wizard of Oz" and not "doing something extremely wicked"?

Crac (1981) technically meets none of the criteria: not anime, not obscure (it won an Academy Award!), was shown to me. Yet it (and Back's 1987 The Man Who Planted Trees) are largely unknown in the anime space despite being a major inspiration to Isao Takahata. www.youtube.com/watch?v=taDu...

2.5 Dimensional Seduction might be the most impressive turnaround of a story I've ever read. It started as an cheap fanservice romcom, but turned into a genuine exploration of love. It took a flat story and gave it depth. 2D to 3D.

⛓️Cosplay is basically the ultimate form of love!⛓️ Guess who finally did a Shizuku-tan shoot, with a finally finished cosplay? I was so unhappy with the pervious version that I remade a lot of it, and now I absolutely love being her 🧡 Marin was totally right about this one 📸 @silencedrowns.com

2.5 Dimensional Seduction's greatest writing trick is that it transforms itself into a series with genuine depth not by abandoning its initial weaknesses, but by examining them.

The box is on its side, with the top facing forward
On the top of the box is the image of a wall outlet with the text "Miniatuart koibito series"Picture of the box opened. Inside the box is a papercraft miniature model of a wall. The wall has wallpaper texture, wooden wall, wood floor at the bottom, and an outlet just a bit above the wall trim. To the right of the outlet is a small opening in the wall which looks like a tiny doorframe, and inside the opening is a tiny staircase. The staircase goes up a few steps and then takes a turn around a corner to the left.

Have you ever seen a translation so good it moved you to tears (from My Dress-Up Darling Official Anime Fanbook)
恋(コスプレ)は変える。姿も、心も。

Love (cosplay) [changes/transforms] . Both in [shape; appearance] and in [mind, heart, spirit].

Rereading 2.5 Dimensional Seduction for panel research and I completely forgot they just say it out loud (Correction: They're talking about Lililili, a completely unrelated and definitely fictitious manga)
Lilysa: That high school sports rom-com! Lililili is getting an adaptation!!

(Everyone cheers)

Tsubaki, to the side: I've never heard of that manga before!
