OK, so now it makes ALL of the sense why Studio Pierrot started streaming the Ninku anime on YouTube yesterday! For those who don't get the relevance, Masashi Kishimoto admitted that he created Naruto, in part, because he wished there was more Ninku anime. He's a big fan.

NARUTO x NINKŪ key visual 🦊👅 NINKŪ is the important work that inspired Masashi Kishimoto to create NARUTO. Now the two are sharing an all-new anime

Yay, a brand new Escaflowne illustration for the Sunrise 50th anniversary project by Hirotoshi Sano, who was a key animator for the series.

seen a bunch of dudebro types playing dressmaker & getting super into it and that's a positive i think, a reminder that the "feminine" can be of universal interest to everyone, but lmao men can never again pretend to not understand their gf's tastes. you know what a juliette-bishop sleeve is now

"Houki Boshi" is unique in that each & every episode of Bleach that used it as the ED had its own unique ED sequence to go with the song, one for each of the Gotei 13. That's a special kind of insanity that I don't think we'll ever see again for an anime OP or ED sequence.

On 8th Oct 1952 the worst civilian rail disaster in UK history happened in London. 112 deaths. 340 wounded. That accident, and the actions of one woman from Florida have saved THOUSANDS of lives since. That disaster helped lead to the creation of paramedics. /1 🧵 www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU60...

More than ever, it’s crucial to attend and support local independent comics and library-organized book festivals!! Fan expos and mainstream Comic Cons really aren’t about comics (or even art) anymore: they’re mostly celebrity autograph meat-markets and major fandom gatherings.

i hate when people do this.

what a fantastic all-timer thread on this phenomena and the psychology behind it I think about this all the time and not understanding this is the difference between successful liminal horror, and just horrorslop. liminal horror is about the baked-in hostility of public spaces we millenials saw die

The reason young people vibe with liminal horror is that the wealthy have spent the last half century destroying all anthropological spaces they can exist in, leaving *only* non-places en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-place

hey, are you in hell? take this easy pattern from watashi no teddy bear, a japanese teddy bear making book from 1993. I made it so you can print on a4 or letter paper, and added seam allowances. even if you're bad at sewing, a friend is a friend no matter how they look. make as many as it takes.

On the 7th of October 1988, the 1st episode of Gunbuster was released. The 6 Episode OVA was directed by Hideaki Anno & produced by Studio Gainax and would receive a sequel (Diebuster) in 2004. It debuted in SRW F Final (Sega Saturn) in 1998. Happy 38th Anniversary 🎉

I don’t care where you started out on the political spectrum If your kid comes out as trans & you don’t become a rainbow-clad, parade-cheering ally & rock-solid supportive girl/boy/enby dad/mom? You were never a parent at all You were a doll collector furious they didn’t stay in their packaging.
