As a former-but-longtime Michigan resident and Chainsaw Man fan, I have to ask… WHY MICHIGAN?!

We’re not the most violent state or the seat of the NRA or anything…!

A very hard-fought gatcha win for this turd-nugget

The new Chainsaw Man movie is fantastic. Music, writing, animation, all of it. Long live Chainsaw Man.

The new Trillion Game movie released on DVD in Japan Friday! Congrats to the whole team!

I’m … uh … in it. Briefly.

Some choice selections from the “mangaka message board” at the Osaka Expo

I saw Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle. It was good.

Did it drag at the end? Sure. Was the Nanba Toho IMAX operating at a sound level which I’m genuinely surprised is legal? Sure.

But it was pretty and it was good and the swords went swish-swish.

I sure went to an event yesterday.

Gotta say … hearing “New Genesis” on my last day as someone renting an apartment in the US reduced me to a puddle.

Ado’s the real deal. A true musician.

Bye bye Anime Expo, and thank you. Feeling very emotional because I’m moving to Japan next month for a new job, so I’m not sure when I’ll be back next. Maybe as an exhibitor.

This event has been very, very important to me for the last decade of my life, and I’m so glad I got to go this year.

This thing might be worth more than gold. Many, many men attempted to buy it off me. Men, specifically.

Also, the Dodgers played the White Sox, one of my hometown teams, and absolutely kicked their ass. Poor guys. It was beneath a surreal sea of straw hats, though.

Fans were allowed on the field for the drone show, which was quite magical.

More pictures from One Piece Night at Dodgers Stadium!! I had an absolute blast. Thank you to @kellyonelani.bsky.social for enabling me in this adventure!!

I FINALLY MET MY SON

Thank you Dodgers One Piece night! More pictures to come. But the son is the most important.

My band is playing in NYC tonight! It’ll be our last show in the city for an incredibly hot second! Do you live there? Come see my band!
