Head of IT at a zangy boomy ADR studio in SoCal (my opinions here are my own). Mainly here for art, tech, cat memes, and some occasional cloud shouting. I speak rarely, repost often.

Saw a promo for Gnosia introducing a character named Chipie.
Is that an actual whole-ass cat protruding from the side of his motherfscking NECK?!!

Two criminally underrated anime: Kaleido Star, and Crest of the Stars.
Funimation/Crunchyroll has the license, yet only ever released them on DVD. Such a travesty that neither of them have gotten a Blu-Ray release in the states as of yet. Quite on brand for CR.

Got one still in the shrink-wrap. Think one day it'll be worth the $19.95 cover price?

This was my gateway to anime fandom setting the trajectory for my whole life. Electronic Gaming Monthly magazine, June 1992 edition, Page 60.
Saw a blurb for something called Ranma 1/2. It fascinated me, and I went on a literal years-long pre-internet hunt, and found a world of anime from there.

A decade ago I had the honor to work on a soulful music film called "Rudderless".
Despite an all-star cast it got very little attention in the US and only a DVD release, but shockingly it got a Criterion quality BD in Korea, of all places. Just got my copy.
Give it a watch for yourself if you can.

In case anyone was ever curious where some of your janky Amazon returns go.
They go to literal rummage markets such as this one in Lake Elsinore.

Much though I had long parted ways with Anime Expo years ago after some shenanigans on their part (I was with them 15 years, too), a friend who stuck around and remained a loyal volunteer (read: free labor) for a total of nearly TWO DECADES just recently got this notice.
Absolutely infuriating.

I ran into a similar problem with a bunch of similar holes at my office. The way I handled it was to remove the wall plate and cover the hole with one of these. Unfortunately it isn't flush, but it does look reasonably clean.

Damn… so many good ribbons. Heard someone was handing out these, triggering flashbacks of AX2002 and 2007.

Loved it. I used it multiple times a day every day for ~20 years. And now it's going away.
