Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring Novels Get TV Anime at Wit Studio Violet Evergarden's Kana Akatsuki pens original novel series

The Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring novels from the creator of Violet Evergarden are getting a TV anime from WIT Studio!

A balm to the soul after the bombardment of AI “Ghibli-style” slop out there 💚

Sadly, the US Academy, which awarded us an Oscar three weeks ago, declined to publicly support Hamdan Ballal while he was beaten and tortured by Israeli soldiers and settlers. The European Academy voiced support, as did countless other award groups and festivals. Several US Academy members—especially in the documentary branch—pushed for a statement, but it was ultimately refused. We were told that because other Palestinians were beaten up in the settler attack, it could be considered unrelated to the film, so they felt no need to respond. In other words, while Hamdan was clearly targeted for making No Other Land (he recalled soldiers joking about the Oscar as they tortured him), he was also targeted for being Palestinian—like countless others every day who are disregarded. This, it seems, gave the Academy an excuse to remain silent when a filmmaker they honored, living under Israeli occupation, needed them the most. It’s not too late to change this stance. Even now, issuing a statement condemning the attack on Hamdan and the Masafer Yatta community would send a meaningful message and serve as a deterrent for the future.

The US Academy refused to offer a statement of support for a Palestinian director it had awarded an Oscar to while he was being illegally detained and tortured.

Tweet from Yuval Abraham: "A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co director of our film no other land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since."

BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him.

Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

Everyone talking about Ep 3 of Adolescence and the fantastic performances, but I'm still stuck on how they managed to wrangle all those school kids in Ep 2 for those long continuous takes...

I am not proud of how this mobile game took over the last few weeks of my life and any available free time, I feel like I'm actually hurting my kindle's feelings 🥺

Imagine knowing someone as a child and becoming furious that they grew into a more compassionate and loving person than you. Seeing that as a defect and not the success story of humanity, the only way humanity persists

... Novectacle you can't just drop this news on me at 1 AM on a random Thursday, I have to sleep 😭😭😭

Congratulations to the staff members of “LOOK BACK” for winning Best Drama and Movie of the Year! Director Kiyotaka Oshiyama also sent in his thanks for the awards!

The annual r/anime awards giving me a solid group of winners for my birthday, I feel so seen ☺️

FLOW, I’M STILL HERE, NO OTHER LAND & ANORA!

Fantastic winners #Oscars

Flow wins Best Animated Feature Film at the #Oscars

This is the first Latvian film to win an Oscar.

NO OTHER LAND!!!!

No Other Land now has more Oscars than it did distribution offers. a great and enduring shame upon the American film industry. free Palestine forever.

"No Other Land," the Palestinian-Israeli made film showing the destruction of the occupied West Bank's Masafer Yatta by Israeli soldiers, just won the Oscar for Best Documentary.

It can't get a distributor in the US.

Which tells you everything about censorship in the US.

Wanna state for the record that under no circumstances should the U.S. take over Canada, nor should it be launching new imperialist adventures in any form. This is a thing I have always believed that I did not think I would have to say about CANADA.

Ignore that I missed the entirety of the Grammys to play Everdell...

Even though I would have been pretty fine with a few of those Album of the Year nominees winning (Chappell Roan, BILLIE...), Cowboy Carter was probably my most played album last year 🙌🙌🙌

I had done a good job of compartmentalizing my fear after November but, after this week, that compartment is in pieces.

Canada’s Justin Trudeau defiantly stands up to Donald Trump, imposing tariffs on American goods in response to Trump’s tariffs. (This speech was not carried live on American cable news networks.)

I truly cannot wrap my head around this tragedy at my home airport

Between safety concerns posed from Reagan's ever-growing air traffic and the recent gutting/freeze on TSA & the FAA next to the normalcy(?) of growing up seeing military helicopters flying so close... this is just absolutely surreal

Honestly, ignoring the Emilia Pérez of it all and a few omissions here and there (no Denis Villeneuve, Challengers score, Conclave Cinematography, etc...)... not a terrible crop of nominees to really get behind this Oscar season

Thinking of my trans and nonbinary friends today. You are valued, and I love who you are.
