Manga Lounge in the suburbs of LA might be my new favorite place. Super well stocked and comfy.

On audiobook five of Dungeon Crawler Carl. This appears to be the year of nerdy niche lit categories breaking containment, and I am here for it. Also I now mentally announce “NEW ACHIEVEMENT!” to myself whenever I accomplish something dumb.

Join me in celebrating the tenth anniversary of my #1 anime movie of all time. It's a nuanced masterpiece that deftly delves into the complexities of disability, bullying, guilt, depression, suicidal thoughts, and ultimately redemption. And it's gorgeous. www.fandompost.com/2026/09/24/t...

Frame stitch of a recap illustration of Sasuke, holding a Kokeshi doll, the remains of the ninja who gave it to him littering the ground. From episode 2 of the 1968 anime TV series Sasuke (サスケ)

Pencil and watercolor illustration of a boy standing in the distance, a shocked expression on his face, while a dismembered leg and arm lay on the ground before him.

Portrait-oriented vertical frame stitch of several screenshots from episode 2 of the 1968 anime TV series Sasuke, composited to look like a single consistent image.

A friend of mine in film school had a night job as the bellman for Duncan Sheik’s building. Said he was super nice, and he’s often invite him up to do blow. Y’know, in retrospect… 🤔

I'm going to MIPCOM, the big content trade show next month, where I will inevitably be approached by a bunch of tech bros offering AI dubbing and subtitling. I will then smile very large, look them in the eye, and say that I would rather shit directly into my own hands and eat it.

Finally bought an AppleTV for my office TV display. Every modern TV now spies on you to a shocking degree (incl video from other sources, and mics even when it's off), so turning its internet off and using a device with better security seemed like a no-brainer. Also the interface is WAY better.

Laserdisc player died. Totally dead, won't power on. Fuse is fine. The only place I could find that would repair it held onto it for 3 months without giving me an estimate. If anyone knows a place, hmu, I'm resigned to buying another player.

Had an utterly bizarre night last night. I joined some friends to go out dancing at Zebulon, a local hipster club/venue. The DJs were literally the worst I’d ever heard — could not mix songs AT ALL. But what they were playing was bizarre. Unrecognizable 70s and 80s dance with indecipherable lyrics…

Now that I’ve had a day to process it, I think I can say: Coyote vs Acme will be one of the year’s 5 best films, no question. It respects what made the OG cartoons great. Improves on them by bringing them up to date, giving them an emotional core, and a clear-eyed reflection of current reality.

I went to ANYC last year. It was not a great experience, they treated me like crap and denied me a panel until a friend intervened. This year I was in town but did not bother attending. Unfortunate that my case was not an isolated one. Another corporate power trying to weeb and missing the mark.

An excellent excerpt on translation from Andrew Briggs' translator notes for War and Peace. I feel this can be applied especially to anime and its translation styles, and we should aim for a similar balance as he describes here

In the introduction to his Don Quixote, John Rutherford divides translators into cavaliers and puritans. The cavalier takes some lib-erties; the puritan is a stickler for exactitude. Rutherford's intention was to combine the virtues of both and avoid their vices, a sensible if difficult plan. The previous translations of War and Peace have erred slightly too much on the puritan side, literal fidelity being set at a higher premium than writing naturally in English. It is now time to move somewhat in the other direction.
Let me give a couple of small examples. If a Russian asks, 'Did you study in Kiev, another Russian will respond by saying, 'In Kiev'. The puritan will use that repetition, while the cavalier would give the normal English speaker's response, 'Yes', or 'Yes, I did. Similarly, when a Russian mother says to her child, 'Ne nado!', the puritan will be tempted to render this literally as 'That's not necessary!', whereas the cavalier will go for 'Don't!'
The reason for this puritanism is not far to seek. It lies in what Rutherford refers to as a 'mistaken attitude of reverence for the original artist beside whom it's all too easy to feel like humble artisans who can only ever aspire to produce a pale shadow of the original... a self-fulfilling prediction... Literary translators must conquer these fears. This is good advice. Without ever drifting too far away from the original, it does seem reasonable to aim for the kind of English that would have occurred naturally in its context and now sounds appropriate.
