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.

Wrote about the Uma Musume movie, which is a radical sports movie that showcases just as much raw animation power as craftiness in building a cathartic, uplifting story about possibilities & self-acceptance. Ken "Leaf" Yamamoto is a tremendous director blog.sakugabooru.com/2025/04/04/u...

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.

Caught Joker 2 on Max. Truly a confounding movie, one that was not made to appeal to any audience except for maybe some of the people involved in making it. Maybe.

Excited to see another Koike work come to fruition.
Lupin III is getting its 1st new 2D feature-length anime film in nearly 30 years, and Redline director Takeshi Koike is returning to the franchise to direct the film.

I think this is the first time the extended version of the film has been available outside Japan? At least in English-speaking territories

Far from an unnecessary add-on, this is the definitive version of a true masterpiece anime, not a moment wasted with everything added servicing the themes
"In This Corner (and Other Corners) of the World" is now available on Crunchyroll worldwide (excluding Japan).
This is the extended version (168-min) of "In This Corner of the World" (129-min) film by Sunao Katabuchi.

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.
