Nouvel article sur mon blog !
Qu'est-ce qui me dérange avec la notion de « Groupe de l'An 24 » ?
juliapopek.fr/2025-10-18-A...

C'était sensé être un petit article à la base. 😅
Le problème de l'An 24
Julia Popek étudie et vulgarise l'histoire du shōjo manga. Elle se spécialise sur les sujets du saphisme, de l'horreur/occulte et de l'érotisme.

New animation film festival announced: Aichi Nagoya International Animation Film Festival (ANIAFF). Starts this year in Nagoya from Dec 12-17. Same organizers as Niigata (who seem to have stepped down from that festival). Similar focus on full-length (well, 40+ minute) films.

The table of contents to the new Methodologies issue of Mechademia is a great way to demonstrate the different ways to study "media forms associated with Japan" - and look at something else beyond either plots, or how audiences react them.

Latest Mechademia is out, in full free-access!
Very glad and honored to have my first paper there, 'Writing anime history: A dialogue on Aim for the Top! Gunbuster' on some of the issues one might encounter when trying to do anime (production?) history

if there is one lesson it is: never hustle. it is not worth it. everyone works hard. the success stories work hard. the failures you'e never heard of work hard. the people who got laid off worked hard. it is not the determining factor in anything. set yourself free. do only what you love

Damn the Japanese features for Annecy this year all look great
First time I feel like they're properly thinking about what kind of movies to submit and not just randomly sending films by any big director who might hit it in Japan
