CBS, 2018: Network settles w/Eliza Dushku for $9.5 million after Michael Weatherly's "inappropriate behavior." Weatherly keeps his show, remains in the CBS family to this day.

CBS, 2025: Man on hit show allegedly sexually assaults co-star. The drama's female showrunner fires his ass. #WeLoveToSeeIt

Sayo Yamamoto is - was - one of the most talented voices in the industry. When I met her at AFest years ago, she had an air of kindness and vulnerability that made me feel drawn to her as a person and not just a creative. MAPPA chewed her up and spit her out.

"By themselves, they're a smorgasbord of Fujimoto's boundless ideas and story experimentation. It's easy to see the early foundations of his later character designs and polished plots."

it was said by someone like half a year ago that learning how to deliver passable if not good work under both immense pressure and short notice is actually an important part of the college experience and an incredibly useful skill and the person who said that was right

Rough translation of Japanese text: "Victor seeino Yuuri do his signature quad flip,he was bewilderedby a jov that he never felt as a competitor...Which leads to the scene after. Truth is, all sides tried to stop it along the way, but would not remove it from the episode. Even being aware that people aroundme wouldn't be able to understand,I forced it though"

I want people to give Yamamoto her flowers forever for how hard she fought working on Yuri On ICE. That episode 7 kiss is there because she refused to back down. She's the kind of artist we need. And look what she got for it.

(From the YOI fanbook)

Animehunch Team: You’ve worked as a producer on many popular titles, including Black Clover and Fullmetal Alchemist. However, you were also involved with Yuri!!! on ICE. This is something fans are desperate to ask about. The planned movie, ICE ADOLESCENCE, was officially cancelled by MAPPA, which left many fans heartbroken as they loved the series dearly. We know this is a sensitive topic, and you may not be able to discuss it, but fans would be incredibly grateful for any insight you could offer as to what went wrong or why the movie was ultimately cancelled.

Hideo Katsumata: I can’t talk about the details, as that includes some very private matters. But if you ask whether it’s a creative or business issue, the reasons stem from the creative side. The main reason is that it couldn’t be made due to creative reasons. Since it was an original animation, the people involved—including the creators and the animation studio, MAPPA… among the creators, on the creative side, a situation arose where it just became impossible to proceed with production.

We're probably never going to see another Sayo Yamamoto anime, and that honestly breaks my heart more than I have words to convey. I feel so much anger on her behalf. Fuck MAPPA.

Much as I'm glad he got to make his dream project at M2 with Pluto, it's hard not to imagine what it's like on Earth-2 where Masao Maruyama never left MAPPA or at the very least he didn't leave Manabu Otsuka in charge of it

May I Ask For One Final Thing? is wonderful so far. An anime built entirely around the satisfaction of seeing a woman punch bullies, with every scene paced to turn her fists into a potential loaded weapon. It's a fun time.

One of my favorite moments from Nobel Prize history:

The Nobel Committee couldn’t reach Stanford professor Paul Milgrom to let him know that he had been awarded the Nobel Prize for Economics, so his fellow winner, Robert Wilson, went over to his house in the middle of the night to wake him up!

same guys who are "concerned!!!! about women's sports" when it means excluding and isolating trans girls from sport lol. misogyny all the way down. for so many men, women's sports is something inherently lesser and another stage for objectification and comedy with female athletes as the punchline

Four core structural truths of every medium I’ve written in professionally. A film is a poem of motion and stillness. A season of prestige tv is a novel. Audio drama is telling as showing. And a comic book is time as space.

Hey CALIFORNIANS!

If you are eligible to vote, DO NOT sleep on this one!

VOTE yes on Prop 50 to counter Texas' attempt to stack the House!

This one of the few times a ballot measure has nationwide impact. It's super important, more-so than than even a Presidential or Senatorial election!

😄 the perfect excuse for a dad to feature his singer daughter prominently in one of his films!

Creators, be less tasteful and more indulgent.

Also super dark, unexpectedly so! The tonal shifts are so cool and frantic and while you can do them in live action, I feel they’re best expressed through animation.

Saw “Perfect Blue” for the first time today. Y’all…animation is so beautiful.

Yesssssssh!

Hoping for a good procedure and smooth recovery time.

the only real "debt" we have is a debt to Mother Earth for how horrible we've been treating her. i do not want her to collect. we must pay her back a million times over in respect. NOW.
