Reminder for anyone interested: If you have an account on the MediaOCD site, you can use their extremely generous points system to reduce prices on stuff you buy, Aniplex stuff included. Not perfect, but it's better than nothing. And I can confirm that their points system is EXTREMELY generous.

Folks, I've been told there's a new MangaPlus survey where they ask about the use of AI translation. You know what to do docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I would suggest all of World Masterpiece Theater myself, but I know that's a pipe dream that'll never happen, so I'll go with Nurse Angel Ririka SOS and Uninhabited Planet Survive.

Justin Sevakis, who currently runs AnimEigo, stated that "No company would ever spend money on this" when he wrote about Moshidora for ANN back in 2013 If YOU were Justin, what'd be YOUR Moshidora? What's the most out there, "No one would license this" concept anime that you'd license? Quote away!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MY FAVORITE MOVIE OF ALL TIME FINALLY ON BR UNCUT YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY BUYING IT DAY ONE!!!!!! THANK YOU @animeigo.com YOU HAVE MY ETERNAL LOYALTY!!!!!!!

Dog of Flanders: The Movie is the beloved 1997 film remake of the 1975 anime. The film is getting a brand new 4k restoration for both subbed & the classic dub featuring Robert Loggia. Coming in late 2027!

Take note, Western anime fans: This guy is the reason uncut anime got a foothold in America at all. If not for him, we wouldn't have anime in America as we know it. Whether you've been there from the start or just getting into it now, you have Woodhead to thank for it. Watch this video NOW.

New episode of The Anime Business! AnimEigo founder Robert Woodhead talks about bringing anime to western audiences & more! And stay until the very end to hear something special. www.youtube.com/watch?v=74J5...

For me it's The Klutzy Witch. It's pretty much everything that children's movies SHOULDN'T be or do, indulges in every bad kids movie cliche possible, drops subplots as soon as they're mentioned, has a horrible message at the end, and actively insults its audience's intelligence.

In honor of today's viewing of Scarlet, I'm going to throw out a question to y'all: what's the worst anime movie you've seen? Hard mode: no compilation films (because let's be real, most of them aren't good to begin with).

My 2025 Nintendo Year In Review! #nintendo #nintendoswitch

SPREAD THIS. If you still have LiveJournal accounts with anything important on them, SAVE THEM ASAP.

rahaeli@rahaeli.bsky.social · 9mo ago

Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:

Man, I am loving the insane marketing and advertising push Beatbreak has been getting across the board. Between being put into Time Stranger's DLC, to a new English dub, and a freakin' bit on Time Square, I think this is the most promotion Digimon has ever gotten in...ever! Good on you, Toei.

With the Will Digimon Forums, News, Podcast@withthewill.bsky.social · 10mo ago

We have a trailer for the English dub of Digimon Beatbreak and it's seemingly coming to Crunchyroll soon. More at WtW- withthewill.net/threads/digi...

I'm liking this new Steam Replay thing! Shame one of the images on the 2025 one is broken. Think it might be either Kanade or the ToHeart demo. Love that they let us do previous years too!

To anyone who tries to convince me that AI is the best thing since sliced bread, I'm gonna direct you all to this. You're welcome.

The problem isn't that good anime isn't be made anymore, it's that good anime isn't being properly MARKETED anymore. If it's not a battle shonen, good luck getting any of these streaming platforms to properly promote it. Crunchyroll included

The opening narration to the 1968/9 anime Sasuke in English, now out on blu-ray via @animeigo.com.

Newsflash, orange manbaby: Tylenol does not cause autism. Autism was first identified in 1911. Tylenol was first created in 1955, so that whole argument is bullshit from the get-go. Signed, an autistic person.

Wait, Duo was inspired by Mattia from Nobody's Boy Remi, one of my favorite anime?! Wow! Considering Mattia was a street rat in both the book and the anime, this explains soooo much and I love it!

Japan's National Library Says Game-Key Cards Are Not Eligible For Preservation.

Thanks a lot, ya damn orange manbaby. I don't normally buy anything beyond $100 except for rare exceptions, but I know for a fact this is going to screw over so many anime, game, and Gunpla fans, not to mention small business that rely on imports.

Alex Kraus@alexfkraus.bsky.social · last yr.

Japan Post announced that beginning this Wed, Aug 27, they will temporarily refuse all commercial packages destined to the United States. This falls in line with similar moves by the UK, Australia, etc. Only packages marked as "gift" with a value under $100 will be accepted. 1/2

One where you didn't get rid of remote recording, therefore denying a lot of disabled or out-of-state actors work that could have benefitted them a lot. On top of all the other bullshit you put people through for your own gain.

Crunchyroll@crunchyroll.com · last yr.

So many anime worlds exist. Which fantasy world would you most want to wake up in? ✨🌎

I miss when anime could be 26-52 episodes long, and have whole episodes dedicated to characters just taking a break, learning a new skill, or just having fun. Started rewatching Nobody's Boy Remi recently, which reminded me of how great anime can be when they're allowed to take their time.

Post the first video game you remember playing Mine was Pokemon Yellow. Got it and the lime green GameBoy Color on my 7th birthday. Never got very far with it until I got older and wound up selling the cartridge later, but I still cherish the game for being my first, even with its flaws.

Samantha Ferreira Is Back On Her Book Bullshit@sam-animeherald.northsky.social · 2y ago

Post the first video game you remember playing Honestly, my mom was big on Atari stuff, so we had a 5200 in the house when I was super little. I remember playing the 5200 version of Pac-Man specifically with her, along with Centipede and Breakout.

Currently playing: #DigimonSurvive #HelloKittyIslandAdventure #YugiohEarlyDaysCollection #AirVisualNovel

Japanese adaptations of Western children's books ought to come back. More World Masterpiece Theater, less isekai slop!

Friends, I am happy to report that it is #weebwednesday once again, for the first time in a while! You know the drill - quote-post with your weebiest hot takes, nothing racist, nothing intentionally inflammatory, have fun with it ♥

Grave of the Fireflies just got a slew of new dubs on Netflix, complete with a THIRD English one. This one actually hired a child actress to play Setsuko! #GraveOfTheFireflies #Ghibli

Less wish fulfillment isekai, more World Masterpiece Theater style adaptations of Western children's literature.

It's been a few weeks but we haven't had a #weebwednesday in a while! You know the drill - quote post with your weebiest hot takes, nothing intentionally inflammatory, no racist shit, try to have fun with it ♥

Guys, play this game! Whether it be on Switch or Steam! It's a super cute, wholesome game! It's also the closest thing we're gonna get to an official English localization of the Boku no Natsuyasumi games, since the guy who made those also made this.

More #NintendoSwitch2024 images I forgot to post.

Here's my #NintendoSwitch2024 recap. Less hours put in than I usually would, but hey, that might change next year.

Kanon, you seriously have a scene in your game where one of the choices involves touching a high school girl's boobs? ... Good thing I learned about this beforehand, now I know to avoid said choice! And it doesn't affect the ending I get!

My other favorite Digimon! <3

My favorite Pokemon.
