animation in house?? In 2026? I'm going to cry. This genuinely is something i've been fighting so hard for, and I'm so happy to see the return of this. More in house animation please!!!

I saw this flyer while out attending an event over the weekend. The humanities matter.

Happy #caturday! Say hello to Si and Cheeto. I’ve been pet sitting for family over the last few days and they’re very sweet, chill cats. Taking care of them has been a breeze and a joy! 🐱

It sucks to see a family member you love go down the AI “Art” slop path. I hope that cheap dopamine hit and not having to use your brain was worth it.

I would really really love it if Toon Boom had a version of Harmony for the iPad. That would be game-changing. Life-changing, even. NOTE: I know, use, and really like the animation programs that already exist on iPad. ToonSquid is really cool and Procreate Dreams gets even better with each update.

Holy hell, what a week. RIP Tim Curry. He was awesome in his live-action roles, but much of my favorite work from him was in the VO/animation world. He really embraced hamming it up. youtu.be/1r_CmhWIHBI?...

I’m definitely checking it out! Sword and sorcery cartoons are fun and we don’t get ‘em that often. Plus, I love the expressive art and animation they went with!

Real talk: I have a lot of respect for the Texas and Canadian VO talent, and they’ve all gone on to do even greater work post-DBZ; but maaaan, those scripts and adaptation decisions held them back.

Once I had money and access to the uncut DVDs and even some fansub tapes, I ditched the old English dub and never looked back. Thanks goodness Kai came around and opened up an opportunity for the Texas crew to fix a lot of stuff.

The first season of Star Trek: Lower Decks with met with a lot of similar hate and dismissal that Im seeing towards Golden Axe. Give it a chance! Mike McMahan shows always have a good heart at the center.

I don't mean this in an alarmist way, it's just to emphasize that this industry has always been pretty small, aside from the brief streaming boom that started in the early 2020s. Mergers don't help anyone but the 1% desperate to hoard wealth

Forgot to mention it on here, but I was laid off recently and am currently looking for new animation opportunities; games, shows or otherwise. Invincible VS was a fun project, it's a total delight to work on a fighting game! Attached a reel of a few anims I did for it:

Discotek Media always runs fun panels! Just, *mwah*, chef’s kiss. Even if I’m not a fan of every single announcement, I respect that they put their absolute best into every release. I’d go as a far as to call them the Criterion of anime as far as the quality and content packed into their discs.

If ANN were to put together a handy guide of where to buy your anime/manga/merch from specific anime-focused retailers, would that be useful to you? What places would you like us to include?
