Shin'ya Ōhira's "Black" short was absolutely incredible. Haven't felt that way watching a display of pure visual insanity since Redline. Simply superb.

It seems that Michael Arias' animated feature "Sunny" (2029) will be animated in 3D.
Reminder: in 1999, well before directing "Tekkonkinkreet" movie, Michael had already been the CG director of Koji Morimoto's pilot based on Taiyou Matsumoto's manga.

That LOTR anime movie was so lifeless and utterly forgettable. You can tell it was a rush job that was pushed out the door for business reasons.

The USA spoke loud and clear about what they care about. I’m as pessimistic as ever that any kind of progressive agenda will ever win on a national stage in the next several election cycles.
Even the 18-34 demo went way more red than in 2020, so don’t kid yourself that young people did their part

I checked out DRCL Midnight Children. Nice art but almost everything else was mediocre, including the paneling/pacing. A shame as I’m a huge fan of the original novel.
