emiri asks makio, "is being a novelist fulfilling?"

makio responds, "not at all."

also this

makio gives asa writing advice "write with the intent to kill."

that really is what it's all about

That really strikes me with the FFVII remakes. All these graphical updates and voiced cutscenes still can't make them feel as theatrical or limitless as the original

Now down to just half a dozen outstanding writeups in my current projects, which in the other direction means I have a... five month buffer of drafts. Keeping busy!

Yeah, it would have been great if they started to meet in the middle. Angry mode hanging around feels like a reflection of her growing comfort with the gang, so it'd be nice to see that also reflected in Nice mode

Great to see you here! I don't spend too much time on socials either these days, but it's nice to keep in touch with the old crew

There was a whole song and dance about seeking UN approval and everything. It seems we've moved past the need for manufacturing consent

Really love how Angry Launch shifts from being a slapstick punchline to a genuine member of the family

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

“The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.”

Let's start the weekend with a cheerful walk downtown, as we check in on morning rituals, the perils of soccer practice, and competition in the gag manga marketplace. Yep, it is indeed time for another delightful episode of CITY The Animation!

Delighted to finally be munching through Kemonozume. This has been an excellent year for tackling my major outstanding productions in general - I watched Future Boy Conan back in January, and am now almost through Moribito

This trip will save their marriage

This week we sampled some Valentine's Day violence, watched The Rock fight an earthquake, and journeyed into the frigid north with Antonio Banderas, all while continuing our journey through the Godzilla canon. Let's break it all down in the Week in Review!

With Ryuji still operating under the shadow of his own absent father, can he possibly help Taiga through her own parental struggles? Either way, it's all going to blow up at the school festival as we return at last to Toradora!

I have wanted to comm Vertigris for a very long time. For years it felt like something impossible. My persistence finally paid off and in the end I got an absolutely breathtaking piece

A truly beautiful view

Yes, that's a promotional image for a collaboration between Evangelion and Schick razors. Gendo is smiling wide, holding a razor, shaving foam still on parts of his now baby-smooth chin. Kaji is also demonstrating the product, as Rei, Asuka, and Anno's wife make really disturbing faces of longing for the men.

In honor of today's news, have a look at my favorite official Evangelion illustration

Always a good day! I've been busy this year, I'm actually nearly through my outstanding bounties

SAM ALTMAN: What no one understands is that no one at the beach can stop you from scooping up as many shells as you want. An endless well of seashells for the taking. INTERVIEWER: Mhm. ALTMAN: Look I have a bunch in my pocket right here. INTERVIEWER: Wow that's incredible. And they're all already crushed up too.

ALTMAN: Yes well I crushed them. They didn't start crushed. I took them home and then I crushed them. INTERVIEWER: Mhm. Mhm. ALTMAN: You can eat them. I eat them everyday. That's why I crush them. Here have a taste. INTERVIEWER: Wow these are great. It feels like eating teeth. ALTMAN: Right? Human teeth. Isn't it incredible? I died in 2023.

Extremely revealing details in this interview

Been catching up on this and yeah, every five minutes it's another How Dare You moment

Love the saturated, lonely aesthetic of the first Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26 entry. Feels like director Seishirō Nagaya using his experience on The Colors Within for a similarly intimate yet tonally opposite effect

We're ringing in the weekend with some raucous tunes, as Lilisa and Shiro feud over the philosophy of rock and roll. Must music always be a competition, or is there room for kindness among those wailing guitars? Let's return to Rock is a Lady's Modesty!
