So happy that it’s not just a quick cameo but that they’ll actually be in the writer’s room for the episode. Love seeing the talent that helped build MST3K being celebrated and embraced and highlighted

Completely random but a friend bought me an old 50s Basie LP from a charity shop. Sounds surprisingly good condition for something that’s clearly been played a lot. Very charming. #jazzsky

Damn I’m enjoying this Walter Smith III album. For a modern jazz album? It stylistically sounds like something that came out of the late 60s or early 70s. Damn it’s smooth. I’ll have to track down a vinyl of it one day

I’m a very lucky man to have both of these. Very stylistically different. But they both sound amazing. Satriani in particular sounded literally perfect. I could have been persuaded it was the master recording for Pete’s sake it was that good.

I really respect this official Gundam art for having Sarah look at the audience and go, “Can you believe this fuckin guy?”

It’s only just hit me last night how much I was desperately hoping for the Cagliostro dub to be good (which it is. AMAZING. Thanks so much to everyone involved) when I realised that the first time I watched it? I was legitimately crying. Which I don’t do often. I really do love Lupin #LupinIII

Most TF manufacturing and shipping comes outa Vietnam which hasn't been hit by the tariffs in the sameway as China. The Prices in the UK prove the price raises have 0 to do with the Tariffs and everything to do with Hasbro smelling an opportunity to extort customers in a way most wont notice
Anyone who looks into currency conversion can see the problem with these prices from Hasbro in the UK.
Paying nearly an additional 25 percent more.

He arrived! Believe in the thief! It’s a beautiful dub and I’m overjoyed to have this at last after so many years.

90% of my animation friends are unemployed. I'm on hiatus. The value of animation is proven every year. Greenlight new shows! Don't overdevelop. Don't chase trends. You can't chase trends w/ animation! It takes too long! Tell good stories. Take risks."Demon Hunters" was a risk & look how it paid off
Animation ruled streaming in 2025. Again. Nielsen data shows 'Bluey' repeated as the most-watched title across all genres, while 'KPop Demon Hunters' was the most-watched movie, and Seth MacFarlane won the inaugural Streaming Icon of the Year award.

The more and more of Macross 7 I watch? The weirder it seems to get. I’m enjoying it. But it is insane. And Mylene is driving me nuts. And also the military guy in charge of the Jamming Birds. Screw him

Just found out they planted a Sakura Cherry tree outside the local library as one of 30 across the local area because of efforts from a local Japan association (which is apparently a thing.) Give it a few years and we’ll actually have our own local cherry blossoms!

The biggest sin of a Lupin movie or special, or even just a TV episode, is it ending up being boring.
They made an episode about a clogged toilet a fascinating character study; it’s a character-driven show, that’s why it works, and some writers forget that and go all-in on plot =p
