On the Precipice of Professional Anime Magazines: Animag In 1987 fans from the Bay Area published what was, for its time, the closest thing to a professional anime magazine in English.

Thanks to the efforts of @geraldawo.bsky.social the full run of Animag magazine can now be seen on the Internet Archive. I wrote a bit about the magazine's history and the time and place it was published: bit.ly/animag2

It's Gio 👊

Haruhi Suzumiya's Real-Life School Opens to Public Before Merging With Another School Aliens, time-travelers, espers: please go see Haruhi Suzumiya

If you're an alien, time-traveler, or esper, please go see Haruhi Suzumiya!

Unfortunately, I do agree with your prediction on DC. As bad as it's been, it might get worse.

"This is more akin to what I referenced at the beginning: admitting that the motives are muddled and any sense of progress unclear, but believing that being a hypocrite is better than the alternative. I would much prefer someone just bluntly say that truth, that the financial incentive is so overpowering that there is no chance to take a principled position on this, than the dramatic fainting that TL has provided otherwise. The fact that Goossen will both acknowledge the company’s helplessness to resist but also give endless charitability to KSA’s position makes their position clear, no matter how much they state otherwise. Sad! I can only hope that other orgs, particularly ones more directly FGC-aligned like Evo don’t start towing the line. However, it seems the line is now that it’s hypocritical, but hopefully bending the knee gets these Royals to capitulate."

From July 17, 2024. Only took a year!

Random find of the now:

The German release of Bubblegum Crisis Hurricane Live from OVA Films, which is quite possibly the only anime ever released on DVDplus.

What’s DVDplus? It’s a double sided disc that’s a DVD on one side, and a CD on the other.

"Hallucinates confidently" is the way the industry has even marketed their fuckups as a sign of advanced intelligence, because simply saying "the shit is unreliable and doesn't work" wouldn't impress investors.

Open for VGen commissions! Hoping to get verified soon.

A very tired wolf dad with his very energetic cat child. My OCs Falaon and Cyrus. Had to make a sketch example for vgen and took the opportunity to finally draw them together.

They look great, good job!

They’ll pressure a NATO ally to release a sex trafficker and racketeer but they won’t pressure a tiny dictatorship to return a man it’s holding on our behalf, who they admit they sent there by accident

New from me - Abdulaziz "Hax$" Al-Yami has died, and the worst people you know have decided that his corpse is the next tool in a culture war. My only ask is that these vultures tell the truth about the mental health crisis he had been suffering for years

The Surprise of Haruhi Suzuymiya

Priss Asagiri from Bubblegum Crisis in the red motorcycle suit, the white shirt and the innerwear.

One day wanted to draw Priss the Big City singer.

late 80s-early 90s Kenichi Sonoda style is actually quite fun to imitate #bubblegumcrisis #art

I'm glad Theater is getting a physical release. However this summary is for The Intuition of Haruhi Suzumiya isn't it?

ANNOUNCEMENT: The Theater of Haruhi Suzumiya

The brand new volume from the beloved series will be coming to physical print! Including two short stories and a new sequel to both stories, even peaceful moments are remarkably bizarre when Haruhi is around!

Damn.
