Writing for @animeherald.com is one of my big professional accomplishments this year, and I think it’s the one I’m proudest of.

Guys, gals, and nonbinary pals:

Anime Herald Magazine is getting a second issue.

So I just checked our sales - we're at 289 copies sold.

We need 11 more to reach 300, which is our internal threshold to go ahead and start planning Issue #2 - let's do this!

Anime fans 100% should be buying physical media for their favorite shows - or even shows that they kind of like but aren't super popular. Streaming licenses are fairly short, all considered, and there's a chance that a show you love will never come back once it gets yanked

Gemini was checked "use as default" (and i sure the fuck didn't set it that way, this was a silent push)
Nuke that, and suddenly, folders that took up to a minute to populate and sort do so in a fraction of a second.

That’s delightful, and they’re on model too. There was a theater in my hometown that regularly featured incredibly unsettling window paintings where everyone was narrow and murderous-looking.

I still need to raise $450 by the morning. Deeply sorry to have to keep reposting this but this is dire. I know it’s hard out for everyone not just us, but a repost goes a long way if donating isn’t an option. I hope everyone’s Friday is going well, all things considered.

For John Woo, the Best Way to Get to A Better Tomorrow During Uncertain Times is Brotherhood β€” Hyperreal Film Club With the opening of 1986’s A Better Tomorrow, director John Woo and star Chow Yun Fat captured β€œcool” with skill and style that very few have been able to match since.

I'm tremendously excited to share this. It's the first of two pieces on John Woo's first major Hong Kong period that I've written for the good folks at Hyperreal, and made possible by @austinfilm.bsky.social's monthlong series showcasing their restorations:
