How old is Buddy? He's kinda got that not-exactly-a-kitten-anymore- teenager cat shape, I think.

That's very much how it feels currently going on social media from outside the US
Typing all of this, I'm starting to think it's KyoAni's Haruhi-LuckyStar-K-On trio that changed everything.
Haruhi is the one that made the best convention memories though <3
Come to think of it, Kanon's 2 adaptations is a great example
before Haruhi, an anime based on a VN kinda had to be low-budget and not very good, only aimed at people who know the base work already, but after Haruhi/KyoAni a VN adaptation could be the biggest thing that season
I really feel like there was a pre-Haruhi and post-Haruhi, in many ways. In the fandom, in what kind of anime get produced, and what kinda quality is expected, even from series that don't have some epic synopsys
like you look at Zetsubou-sensei or K-On and know it hasn't been made in 2003, I feel
by that I mean the videos are recommended to me in Finnish -- even if their range also overlaps Alaska and the extreme north of Canada, searching for "willow ptarmigan" still returns me more videos in suomi than in English. So I imagine they're maybe common?
I need to know, @taavisuhonen.bsky.social
I have a new favorite bird from watching Youtube videos, there are like three million videos of riekko and also this newspaper comic for some reason

tell me you have seen riekko in real life
it's goooooood <3<3<3
every anime franchise should do that, just make a movie 20 years later that's a direct, immediate sequel, and pretend nothing happened. xP
I don't think this article should have been made. Most of the stuff in the article is 3 years old. And while there are indeed people mad at translators "because of woke", it's not a group that is relevant due to their numbers, rather it's one that clings to relevance using threats and harassment.
Not sure if serious bc I find that post a bit offensive, but that's just habit honestly. Almost everyone into K-Pop had parents who thought it was the weirdest thing they ever heard.
We out of the Anglosphere do not need to convert to the main-economic-power-after-WW2's language to make music. <3
People say Gundam Seed is hated and has no long term traction? My god. Sometimes I feel nobody misreads the Gundam fandom more than the Gundam fandom.
I'm coming from the future to tell you the Gyan is _amazing_ in the movie, even though I think like you that it's kinda ugly when it's just standing.
As for who pilots it, people might think it's spoiler-y to write whether or not Shinn pilots it, but mahq has the answer
Imagine if Wing had done like Seed Freedom, but in 2016. A movie bringing back quotes, creating a fourth design for Wing, an orchestral version of The Wings of a Boy that Killed Adolescence, etc. It would be SO good.
I would never watch Wing TV again; but as a fandom hype machine, Wing is AMAZING.
saw Gundam Seed Freedom at a movie theater and it was amazing
Its so good to bring back a series 20 years later. Its not a remake or a reimagining, its a sequel movie, a real sequel, and 20 years is just the good amount of time to have that nostalgia, and enough memories to, y'know, remember.
Before stuff happens there needs to be a school lunch break where the girl's female friends are like "With my bf we did △ and □ but we didn't do ○"
And if it's an 80's comedy manga the guy has a male friend who just lies with "I went until C" and he responds "Cまで??" but he doesn't know what C means
Before that happens there needs to be a school lunch break scene where the girl's female friends are like "With my boyfriend went until △ and □ but we didn't do ○ yet"
And if it's an 80's manga the guy hears a male friend go "we went until C" and he responds "Cまで??" but he doesn't know what C means
I honestly thought the pedophilia accusations were invented by Kendrick Lamar. I must've seen 100 skeets about the diss track and they were all jokingly written, like "Lamar says Drake did 9/11" and stuff.
I guess the angle this media takes is the same angle people in general have taken. *shrug* :/
My nose is a bit stuffed so I was already doing that, it doesnt count boooo
I'm watching L-Gaim with friends right now (currently ep 28), and I figured I'd search for the word to see if people here are talking about it
I can't pick a favorite series but I think my favorite characters are in L-Gaim. Favorite music Zeta, favorite mecha design Dunbine, favorite ideas Ideon
I'm feeling so much nostalgia for that era, but for my own peace of mind I try to keep in mind that I was a kid and everything is more exciting as a kid by default.
Wow I didnt know, this one is my favorite!
A few years ago a comedian in French Canada made a joke where a confused/flustered character wants to say "they're playing a Turkish version of Smoke on the Water" but says turquoise instead. Turns out they were the same word (arguably)
A few years ago I was listening to French Canadian radio and the sports commentator (Alain Crête, born 1958) randomly sang two verses of the ending to Grendizer. On Canada's most listened radio show
I knew the JP ending and I didnt even know the FR ending had the same melody
A few years ago I was listening to French Canadian radio and the sports commentator (Alain Crête, born 1958) just started singing the ending to Grendizer.
Word specialization across languages fascinates me.
In French, faux is the word false; it's by default an emotionless adjective, applicablr to all that can be untrue or uncorrect, like test answers.
English filled the word to the brim with intent and emotion. English faux is deception. And I <3 it
Wikipedia: "In 1957, Walt Disney released a film adaptation [of Old Yeller] starring Tommy Kirk, Fess Parker, Dorothy McGuire, Kevin Corcoran, Jeff York, and Beverly Washburn."
Come on, how come the dog isn't listed. Unless one of these is the name of the dog
In your other comment you mention that the recognition of a Palestinian state would be accelerated by the conflict, which in my mind makes these murders... kinda good? Or at least historically inevitable, because they happened in every colony before their freedom. Colonization causes murders.
You're imagining a scenario where there are people whose land is stolen more every year, people who live in an open prison, but there is no violence.
You're imagining: what if 1985 South Africa, except the Blacks didn't complain?
And you say that's both possible and good. A good, peaceful colony.

Who is this Ben Collins person? Reactions are all over my Discover feed like he's a known Bluesky star.
My big brother born in 1975 was a fan, had t-shirts and a baseball cap and stuff. I feel like one day a Zoomer or Alpha could ask me "wait so you guys just willingly gave more money to corporations buying merchandise of their mascots" and I'd just give up with a "I dunno man the 80's-90's were wild"
I love that they put a description. They could've just said "scattering feces" and it would have been sufficient information. But they wantes to tell you how it's done. They wanted to educate. Respect
What is the Internet's view of the use of AI for upscaling video, e.g. 720p to 4k?
80's anime look fantastic with it, and I feel this is AI doing grunt work, i.e. doing the traditional job of machines and computers, rather than doing "creative" work based on stolen content.
Cats of Yore seems like a really irate and insecure person. There are so many skeets with "Cats of Yore blocked me".
Yesterday they posted a rant about replies that correct or add details on their cats, and then a whole thread about blocks. No wholesome account should have that much beef. :x
omg hi Gusgus <3
