I'm not sure what I'm doing here...I think I took a wrong turn somewhere.

I review anime on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@znotetakureviews9138

Hey Vladdy, did you plan on the movie being a tragedy?

First, they deny the Mariners.
Then, they deny a nation.

Writing video scripts is both a blast and the actual worst. It's a blast because you can be passionate about what you want to express. On the other hand, you're wondering whether you've written enough, and if it's for educational purposes, you're terrified you'll accidentally say something wrong.

I'm just imagining the Kids Next Door watching It's the Great Pumpkin and seeing a bunch of "Evil adults" giving a kid rocks as Halloween candy and thinking of how angry they'd get at this

So anyway I restored Daicon IV from scratch. This was a joint project with Chris Person (papapishu), who sourced the incredibly Rare Laserdisc release. The raw files can be found on the internet archive for those interested in processing it yourself. Enjoy! archive.org/details/DAIC...

Stuff about Denmoku now that it's real & public: this is Not the project that was initially conceived, it has been rebooted. Some aspects make it quite obvious, like the fact that it's Minoru Ota's series direction debut, the shift in the setting, and the new subtitle. Fortunately, it looks great!

the last time a World Series game was played at SkyDome in Toronto, it was in 1993 against the Phillies and their catcher was Darren Daulton. Later, his Phillies teammate, Gary Varsho, named his son after Daulton, and Daulton Varsho just homered for the Blue Jays at SkyDome in the World Series

The Seattle Mariners have proven, once and for all, that they are abjectly useless.

I don't know what Satanic sacrifice they need to do in order to win, but going from up 2-0 in the pennant to LOSING the series is pathetic.

Fuck George Springer.

Satoshi Kon’s passing was an incalculable loss to anime - no one had such an implicit understanding of the mind as a labyrinth like he did. Reality and perception bent to his whim, and he absorbed us every step of the way.

Mariana trusted Kon, and Kon delivered every time.
Satoshi Kon would have turned 62 today ;_;

It is in fact possible to talk about a lot of anime for more than 15 seconds at a time!

This was a mistake...a fun mistake, but a mistake nonetheless lol.

In typical Aaron Boone fashion, he got outmanaged because he had a gamescript that he wasn't going to deviate from. He took the bat out of Rice's hand, had asinine reasoning for taking out Fried, and swore by the "WeaverWilliamsBednar" battery because "that's the lane."

Wrote about the end of CITY: The Animation and how it once again raised the bar of brilliant animation, design, music, and sheer imagination to breathe life into Arawi's world. Many thoughts about an all-timer production & how it might connect to KyoAni's future blog.sakugabooru.com/2025/09/29/c...

Review of KyoAni's "CITY THE ANIMATION"

"When a piece of media vibrates at just the right frequency, it radiates warmth even in its moments that affectively “don’t work.”

The more older stuff I see, the more the whole "I don't like how older anime looks" take gets worse and worse.

From: Toki no Tabibito: Time Stranger (1986)
Dir: Masaki Mori
Animation credit: Umetsu Yasuomi

When I started doing this years ago, I never would have thought I'd see 100 subs, let alone 1000!

Thank you to everyone who finds my content worth your time. Hopefully, I can keep up the good work moving forward :)

Adding to "these people really don't understand anything they pretend to be passionate about": Exhibit one million of people assuming that a writer in anime has orders of magnitude more decision power than they do. Forget the author's vetoing power, the director could stop anything before that check
We may be witnessing the dumbest controversy with Bocchi the Rock's series composer Erika Yoshida being attacked by the combined, stupid coalition of anti (made up) censorship warriors and adaptation purists who couldn't even spell the word Art if their life depended on it. Deeply embarrassing shit

About this Witch Hat Atelier vid: Anime projects (like anything with that big a scale & involving so many parties) can spend several years in talks before meaningful work is done, let alone before reaching a point where the production is regularly ongoing. The boundaries between those stages is hazy
