Thanks to the blu-rays, you can get a clearer look at the Armored Valkyrie hanging out with the Srungle mass-production types.

Issue One of MixxZine, a relatively short-lived but impactful monthly manga magazine first published in 1997.

Characterized their chaotic colour-clash covers, the first issue of Mixx kicks off with two shōjo serials, Sailor Moon and Magic Knight Rayearth, and two seinen: Parasyte and Ice Blade.

Or how about something as basic as copying and pasting an animation curve to another keyframe? As far as I know you still need a plugin to do that.

If AE is functional it's in large part because of the scripting and plugin community that support it. It feels like AE will sometimes go years without significant updates or common sense quality of life improvements. I'd bet nobody who uses AE on the regular is running a vanilla version of it.

PANEL 1: A bunch of characters are watching a movie in a movie theater. A duck is talking to the duck next to him. DUCK: "I thought they didn't have biblical allegory in Japan because of the Buddha or whatever."

PANEL 2: A shot of the screen which appears to be showing Mamoru Oshii's ANGEL'S EGG (1985). 

PANEL 3: The duck continues whispering. DUCK: "Cuz like okay remember when Blake was getting into meditation and started wearing a formal kimono and you were like 'CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!' Well shouldn't that cut both ways?" DUCK 2: "SHH!"

PANEL 4: A shot from the back of the theater. The duck keeps whispering. DUCK: "I'm still enjoying the movie, just, like, makes you think, y'know? 'Specially cuz there's all this downtime of just clouds and stuff..."

PANEL 5: Later the duck is talking on his cell phone as he walks down the street. BLAKE (on the phone): "Yeah, they're allowed to as much as anybody. They got Bible over here, too." DUCK: "Damn, dawg, that's crazy to have both. So but is all the TV there animes? Cuz this one was nothing like Animatrix."

I assumed the same was with the R-Gyagya and R-Jarja but it looks like the Jarja did end up using a lot of the Gyagya's parts. So weird how this can work out.

A peek inside one of the earliest Gundam fanzines: Gundam Fun Club's The White Base Editing Room.

Created by a mostly female band of high school students as the series aired in 1979, it's full of technical information, carefully written speculation, drawn illustrations, and character profiles.

Love seeing Star Wars pop up amidst the sea of home-grown SF work in Otaku no Video's recollection of Japanese fan events.

It's always so much fun vicariously experiencing a Gundam thing for the first time through someone else's eyes

If you ever want to have a really bad time, scan through VFX Reddit from like the last three years. It's ROUGH out there.

At least the theme song is much better this time, even if it is basically just otaku music.

The answer is simply that when a lot of the work dries up people will go to where the jobs are, even if in the long-term it's against their self-interest. It's bleak.

Honestly I do think the music is a big weakpoint of the new Trigun more broadly. It's completely unmemorable to me in complete contrast to Tsuneo Imahori's score from the first show.

I'm not really sure I agree, it's just all sad all the time. At least Stampede gave me a little taste of fun
