Also that 9 animes meme - It's missing many! Like Naruto, One Piece, FMA, Initial D... I picked varying genres with most impact.

Bleach, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Gunslinger Girl, Elfen Lied, Samurai Champloo, Azumanga Daioh, Full Metal Panic!, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and School Rumble (I still think the second season's airsoft battle episodes are peak anime)

Welp here goes nothing. These are Crystarium themed earrings and they will be available next month in my shop. #FFXIV #jewelry #resin

A photo of earrings in resin with golden decorations on them. The resin is crystal shaped, blue and transparent with some gold foil in it. There's also a flower ornament on top of the earring.

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”

GDT's reddit AMA spitting fire www.reddit.com/r/movies/com...

reddit comment:

Hello! Did you intend the ending of Pan’s labyrinth to be real or in Ofelia’s mind?

Guillermo Del Toro's reply:

My interpretation, and it's exclusively mine, is that it's real.

Because there's two things. One is what people call “The Shining Question.” The Shining Question is, Who opens the door for Jack to get out of the fridge? And Ofelia is in an attic with a guard outside her door, and she draws the door with the magic chalk, and she shows up in the labyrinth. So, the only way she could have gone into the labyrinth is the magic chalk. And the flower is real at the end. The flower that blooms in the dead tree. And the reason I think it’s real is because—and this is why I'm in favor of the human factor in art—I think that art does transform the world. You know?

Think about it for a second. One of the goals, with all this movement, is to make you believe that art is vulgar. That art is nothing special, and anybody can do art. That is like me telling you that I'm faster at running than Usain Bolt but I “run” in my motorcycle. Well, that's not the same. That’s not the same at all.

Art is important, and they want you to believe it isn't. It's part of the idea of control. The goal is not to have artificial intelligence. The goal is to foster natural stupidity. The goal is to foster you not looking for answers, and to trust yourself entirely to an engine. Look at the way we are dipping our toes into these things. We are starting to ask the machine, Is this true? For now, there's a correlation between reality and what the answers of the machine are. For now. But soon, we won't even investigate further. We will be told it's true. And if the machine is in the hands of somebody who should not be trusted, then your reality has been completely and utterly fucked. Because your intelligence ends at the question. You don't seek the answer. It's given to you.

Q: You recently mentioned that AI creates 'semi-compelling screensavers' and that you'd 'rather die' than use it. As a filmmaker who relies heavily on practical effects and creature design, what do you think is the biggest thing lost when a computer generates an image instead of a human hand?

GDT:

The three quarters of the process that gave you the chance to think of the idea that people don't think about without that process. Meaning, AI can get you to the middle really fast, but there's a dialectic with the process that gets you to that top 10%. I'll give you an example with the Pale Man.

We sculpted it as an old man, with a face. And then I said, Let's take out the face. This happened because I saw a photo of a manta ray and the poster for Don Coscarelli’s Phantasm. That combination, which happened at two different times during a week or a month, are not permutations that are chemically part of an equation. They are alchemy. And then I said, Take out the face, and then I said, Let's put the eyes on the hands. This triangulation happens because I spent a month or two months living with the idea of this creature. And it's not linear.

AI is like a super-fast engine that makes semi-sentient permutations of things that are already done. Creation is things that have never been done. Coming to exist.

And the second thing is the loss of the apprenticeship that one has as an artist. You're never a master; you're always an apprentice. This is a kinship I have with, for example, Chris Nolan. When he showed me The Odyssey, there’s a scene when Matt Damon is floating in the stormy ocean and I asked him—because we were talking about practical effects, and how great it is and that we both always use a maquette or a model—and I asked him, How did you do it? He said, “We put him in a storm in the ocean.”

And you're gonna find that 30% of a great image occurs accidentally. You know, either a drop of water hits the lens, or the camera shakes. I remember when in 1993, '94, Jim…

I know I'll get everyone's ire for this, but I can't be the only one who thinks the Kokiri Forest in the Ocarina of Time remake looks... really bad? Any spot feels to my eye like it's AI generated from screenshot or one of those Unreal Engine hobbyist remake demo things.
