Never said Japan didn't. Just wanted to highlight that it is now an antiquated term that is no longer being used except in Western anime fandom circles, and places like ANN using it incorrectly www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia... Tenchi was never released by Pioneer as an "OAV".

Correct, Dallos, the very first one literally used "Original Video Animation" as its subtitle for multiple releases. Pioneer never used the term OAV either, in Japan or America. OAV's continued use is purely a nostalgic thing from old Western fandom, even when it's incorrect.

Had a great time at #Momocon showing off the Macross II documentary! A big thank you to everyone who showed up, and for Big West and AnimEigo for sponsoring my trip.

There are virtually no photos of me from shooting the Macross II doc, but I'm so thankful that Jon and Debra had the foresight to take some, haha.

I'm glad that the world can finally see this doc! It was a fantastic project to bring to life, and I am grateful to everyone at AnimEigo, Creative Sphere, Big West, Robert Napton, David Keith Riddick, and everyone who participated.
Enjoy everyone!

To be that guy is a painfully thankless job. To the point people will wonder why you're so gruff, yet also wonder why your bar is the only safe space in town. Next time you run into a "bartender" like this, thank him, let him know he's appreciated, and support that place as much as you can.

The thing that nobody talks about in this situation is the guy who runs that bar? He will get relentless shit by even some of the other non-Nazi patrons for doing this. This is why this is such a problem. Nobody wants to be the bad guy, they'd rather just let a few in then have the constant battle.

It can be especially disheartening when you see all these giant content farming accounts reshare AI next to real artists and don't even credit the artist, and they get infinitely more likes.
All I can say is, your art is phenomenal Phil. Make what you want, and go down fighting.

John Sykes was one of those legendary guitar players who just seemed to strike a chord.
The song he did for Black Heaven, Cautionary Warning, will always be closest to my heart. RIP. Today really sucks man.

The whole POINT of personal sites is to have a stable location on the internet where you can park your stuff, so people can still see it when everything else goes up in flames
It’s not a replacement for social media, it’s more like your permanent base, and social media is used to point people to it

Anyway, good luck out there on Red Note, Lemon8, or wherever you go future creators, it was a fun time. God, I fucking hate what the internet has become.

I've found so many cool artists, creators, musicians, and just generally interesting people I would _never_ even know exist. Now, I can only hope that my youtube shorts won't send me the same goddamn Joe Rogan clip AGAIN that I've already told to fuck off and not recommend.

The ripple effects of the death of tiktok are going to be especially hard for music. So many artists had their moment because of that app, now left to fight in the hellish thunderdome that is reels and fucking youtube again, hoping that maybe they'll have a Panchiko moment by a random influencer.

You remember when Youtube randomly started showing city pop like Mariya Takeuchi's Plastic Love to everyone and she became a sensation? Or how it will occasionally randomly make someone viral? Imagine that every day, every single time you got on the app, in a unique genre. Organically.

I was skeptical of it at first like so many, critical even, but then I started using it, and realized immediately, oh no, _this_ is the future of social media. Meta, Google, Twitter, they weren't just behind, there was no way they could ever catch up, even if they spent billions trying to copy it.

With the death of tiktok around the corner, I felt the need to describe my time with it to my mutuals who didn't use it and those who never understood it. The discovery algorithm was perfect, it literally felt natural and organic when a video came across your fyp, and no app will ever replace it.

Also, because I mentioned it, Dinner in America (2020) - Probably my favorite music related movie ever. It is simultaneously unabashedly abrasive and beautifully sweet at the same time. It shows you that people are simple but immensely complex all in one. Music is also fantastic. All around stellar.

Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person (2023) This and Dinner in America have pretty much made modern Hollywood dead to me. All the heart and soul of cinema is now in the indies. A fantastic Quebec-french film with tons of charm and sweet baby jesus NUANCE, AHH IT'S NOT DEAD YET.
