Reminds me of a great article by @hipolita.itch.io for Issue 2 of Anime Herald magazine. It's hard to believe now, the hope so many of us had for what streaming could mean for anime and all kinds of artistic expression circa 2010, but I remember. 😭

Very often I'll think I'm too positive on Akiba Maid War and then suddenly remember an all-timer bit in any given episode, make myself cackle laughing and then remind myself: it really was that good.

You know Akiba Maid War had the sauce because it ran for a tight 12 and still had the baseball episode

A concise 12-13 episodes doesn’t give you any time for the baseball episode. An anime TV series is not complete without a baseball episode. We’ve got to do something about this

no wonder this is such a popular tournament format

I always love writing for Anime Herald, and the OVA article was so much to research for. Grab a copy if you want to hear about format wars, the effect of the Japanese economic bubble and burst on the format itself and how the OVA as a oncept became staging grounds for experimental animation.

It's a good book. Our whole team is super talented, and the articles this time around are killer. My favorites were @hipolita.itch.io's "Loss of the OVA" and @alltsunnodere.bsky.social's "'A pack comes with both danger and safety at the same time': Navigating difference in Journal with Witch"

Huge victory for Woke 2 warriors and Localization Defenders to have the Jaadugar localization do the "Izayaka pub" thing but for Islamic concepts like "iddah mourning period".

I have one million thoughts on Zero Parades For Dead Spies Compared to Disco Elysium, it's more grounded while also being more ambitious. It's less funny and fantastical and less suffused with haunting sadness, but in exchange it's sharper and meaner and tighter. Unpolished masterpiece afaic

Happy Kamiina Botan Friday to those who celebrate This show has my heart in a chokehold and I've been loving this little tradition of getting drunk on Fridays to catch the new episode

This game has some of the best writing I've ever done in it, along with some stunning contributions from @eviemoriarty.bsky.social and @basheerghouse.bsky.social, supplemental zines from @hipolita.itch.io, @brianflaherty.bsky.social and @moreblueberries.bsky.social, and even more glossy, bloody art

Writing for MORIAH was an absolute delight. Kyle has got something truly special here and I'm proud that my words, insufficient as they are, are part of this book. Go back this.

Kamiina Botan #04 makes excellent use of 間ma, negative space. While the script has uncharacteristically (for anime) frequent and long silence, the storyboard focuses heavily on characters appearing vivisected, bifurcated or narrowly framed in dozens of shots.

if you dress up like a princess the singer of castle rat might be compelled to save you

Gin-san, who key animated Kamiina Botan el 03, also did episode 4 of the delightful mono (manga by the same author as Yuru Camp) and his sketchy wobbly style was in full display there too

The JP title "Kamiina Botan Her Drunken Figure Is Like A Lily Flower" plays on Botan (Peony), lilies (yuri) symbolizing lesbianism and a proverb comparing female beauty to flowers: 立てば芍薬、座れば牡丹、歩く姿は百合の花 (stand tall like a peony, sit elegantly like a tree peony, walk gracefully like a white lily)

Repost this Kamiina Botan for no reason.
