I had the chance to talk to Christophe Ferreira at Otakon 2024 about his career, starting at Telecom with Yasuo Ootsuka, and leading to his upcoming alt history anime Leviathan. I also had some questions for Justin Leach and Katrina Minett at Qubic. A fun time! […]

It's an aesthetic history of explosions.

Mostly the anime kind.

Rewatched the Re:CREATORS recap episode to refresh my memory.

I'd forgotten an incredibly important holiday all this time! What month is it? Doesn't matter, it's every month.

Blessed is Meteora Österreich, mage of Kunst Wunderkammer 🙏

The Second Artist_Unknown OP Festival is here! This time we're talking about all the wonderful OPs and EDs from Spring 2024

>What? It's already summer!

It may be summer, but sakuga is eternal.

Um,

Actually no, that's too cynical and it wouldn't work. Each ship has its own unique personification. The AIs are engineered to develop along cute paths as part of their broader alignment, but it's all genuine. Or maybe the ships genuinely do have multiple personalities at once? A whole bishoujo zoo?

Idea: a space warship crew who are constantly in augmented reality. The ship is manged with the help of an AI with a human avatar – the ship gijinka. They take whatever form and personality each crewmember finds most moe to gaslight-girlboss-gatekeep them into top performance during long cruises

It's interesting that Japan ended up with mochi, sake, etc. without ending up with something like horchata.

Physics fan: "If you have superluminal travel in your story and still want it to be consistent with special relativity, you have to throw out the whole concept of causation as we know it!"

David Hume appreciator: "Yeah!"

I've said it before, but I still love how there's this "shelf" in English Wikipedia where all the popular anime characters at the time of the site's initial growth have extensive articles that never would've survived afterwards en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yomiko_...

>go to /a/ to grab yofukashi's GBC 11 release

>only arguments about whether「あの時の私は、自分を殺そうとしてった」in EP10 means Nina was literally suicidal and any other understanding is illiterate

sigh

I will say there's an actual discussion to be had. imo the suicidal undertone […]

Wow, this is the first time I've gotten this from yt-dlp.

It won't stop me though

Ah yes セークノ切タホのセけ on G4. It's fun to go back and watch old episodes of Seekunosettahonoseke

Me watching YoruKura EP01 put every single ounce of its weight into the world's chintziest metaphor: "Oh fuck off."

Me watching YoruKura EP07 put every single ounce of its weight into the world's chintziest metaphor: "Oh fuck off" *continues enthusiastically*

I know people who watch Liz & the Blue Bird and fail to notice much about Nozomi's interiority. On the other hand, I know people who read her as kind of an asshole and have a more pessimistic view of the ending than me. I've got a p. good grasp on the former as a group, but the latter interests me…

Haha, I forgot Hisao's crush at the start of Katawa Shoujo is named "Iwanako." That's some big Sleve McDichael energy.

It turns out the answer to "will Metallic Rouge ever really get good?" was "when you go see Mars Express in the theater."

Haha, Alstroemeria Records' re-recording of Against, Perfect Cherry Blossom from Double Counterpoint makes it sound like nomico is singing karaoke on stream and forgot to turn on the reverb. Classic Minoshima mastering 💯
