I’m finishing the kaguya movie. This is very pretty but very long and extremely overindulgent, which I guess would be fine if it was an aesthetic I was down with, but this totally bounces off me

When people think of parasocial relationships, they think of things like “My favorite streamer is my BFF for life!” But I’d say making up an entire hateworthy image of a person after seeing a post or a clip you don’t like can also be parasocial
I was worried if my comic is perhaps too self indulgent, but then I remembered the words of Björk and now I need to make it even more self indulgent 🥰
can't believe it's over. can't post a single image from the final chapter. it's too powerful

stu levy is right. we should *all* be getting free money because naruto is popular. naruto can afford it, he should send me a buck. be fuckin' chill, naruto
Very entertaining but very stupid (not complimentary) finish.

In case you missed it: my review of Super Real Mahjong Venus Returns. It's about the game, its history, its place, and the craftsmanship that made this series a hit then and viral today.

Not at all in terms of its sexual content— which is again quite tame— but in terms of the level of detail, the pains taken, the way you can hear buttons unfastening. Turns out video games *are* art, after all."
crunchyroll is getting a lot of well-deserved flak right now, but they *did* send out an advertisement saying to watch birdie wing, so there must be some good left in that husk of a corporate soul
You can also just make up your own sounds, if you're REALLY ambitious!
Zach Weinersmith@zachweinersmith.bsky.social · 2d agoComics tip for newbies: Don't use onomatopoeia sounds like "boom" "bam" or "crack." Always just write the name of the object or body part doing the striking, e.g. "fist!" "brick!" "forehead!"
Am catching up on the samurai troopers sequel. There is a point at which rollercoaster plot twists every episode just stops working, and this season feels like superhero calvinball
the patlabor game looks cool but i reviewed japanese toys for five years and that taught me to never buy a Good Smile product on the day of release

If you still haven't seen the original Magic Knight Rayearth anime and want to watch it before the reboot comes out next month, the anime is still streaming dubbed and subbed on Crunchyroll and Netflix. YouTube and Tubi also still have the dub up for free and the BD is still in print from Discotek.
