Wrote about how Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc mixes the irreverent spirit of TV animation with insane bombast, making it a representative work of anime's current paradigm but with limiters off. Between that & its addictive tragedy, it has become the movie of the moment blog.sakugabooru.com/2026/01/06/c...

Knew Ikoku Nikki was going to be good because the source material rules and the staff's good, but goddamn what an amazing first episode. So far brilliant structure to bypass pacing issues, direction that really understands the core of the series, and waaaay better animation than it'll get credit for

Wrote about how Apocalypse Hotel, through a bumpy creative process, accumulated many artistic lineages & viewpoints. Just like its story about a hotel operating after the end of the world, it thrives thanks to everything that a curious group of people left behind blog.sakugabooru.com/2026/01/02/a...

Hyakuemu's acclaim reminded me of the Uoto interview asking about anime influences where they went "idk I don't watch much, but I love Eupho & Shirobako so much they gotta be influential for me". Wanted to rant so much about Kumiko and Myaamoru it split off into a separate blurb. Truly based author
Came across an itw with Chi's author where they confess to not watching much anime but LOVING Eupho and Shirobako. Their only request to the anime team was to get Kensuke Ushio, whose music they first heard in Ping Pong and fell in love with through Koe & Liz and the Blue Bird. We were meant to be
Caught up with Chi / Orb. Ep #03 is outsourced and its technical execution falters a bit, but it's nicely directed. Everything Shimizu's boards & Masato Miyoshi's processing attempt is fundamentally sound and furthers previous themes to conclude that human curiosity is inescapable. Fun twist too!

Not a surprise since the theatrical run was a hit, but it rules to see Hyakuemu being so well-received even among people who'd be characterized as shounen meatheads. Unrepentant weirdo filmmaker who won't adopt commercial animation methods can make a movie that Means Things and still be approachable

Wrote about Shoushimin, its conversation with Honobu Yonezawa's previously animated work in Hyouka, and the way it evokes eeriness out of an unnatural accumulation of shots that scream that they're normal - the same delicious friction you see in its characters blog.sakugabooru.com/2025/12/31/s...

Published an article about the show *and* made this after a certain episode aired, which predictably went viral. Streets are saying that no one has promoted Shoushimin as much as I have

Shoshimin’s odd leads seek normalcy. Contrast with sibling series Hyouka and the clash between wishes & nature make its direction captivating
