Otakon was awesome as always. Great seeing so many cool people. If you aren’t going to Otakon you should start going to Otakon.
A lot of white Americans seem to think that all Muslims are responsible for 9/11, and really, that every non-white group is responsible for anything bad anyone from that group has ever done
i really have no patience whatsoever for people who are scared of muslims having elected office
I'm still incredibly confused why Anime NYC is marketed as a four-day con when the only activities on Thursday are cosplay meet-ups, dancing, and meeting Captain Underpants.
these were like $10 each from an eBay liquidator. They arrived from bentonville AR in a Walmart envelope… 😅 I think ol Wally World is pulling back further from dvd/bd sales.
Here's some of that Anime Lost Media the kids love from the same tape
Today, August 4, 2026, is the setting of Ray Bradbury’s short story “There Will Come Soft Rains” about a fully automated house continuing on after the family who lived there and the world around it died in a nuclear blast.
I HAVE BEEN SUBSIDIZING WALMART AND AMAZON STARVING THEIR EMPLOYEES FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE.
Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
So what do you do man? Well I work for ICE… That’s uhhh interesting. Tell me more. I’m also a Disney Adult. Get the fuck out of my house.
Another person conducting ICE abductions in New Jersey has been identified: Mike Smith of Warrington, PA, described by Jersey Counterinfo as “41 years, is married, is a homeowner, has two children, and is a Disney Adult.” He evidently is a U.S. Marshal: jerseycounterinfo.noblogs.org/nj-ice-agent...
Maki Terashima-Furuta from Production I.G USA says "I know a lot of you didn't like FLCL Progressive and Alternative but... well, we did it anyway"
I spent most of Otakon behind the Discotek booth, which was fun, but unrelenting. Actually, that’s a great way to sum up the weekend. Being able to bring you guys joy is the best feeling in the world. Second best feeling: napping through most of today
My pitch on Infinite Ryvius: Once per episode, a girl in a dinosaur suit shows up in the background. This is never explained and almost never remarked upon.
Board the rescue ship for a Sunrise classic... Infinite Ryvius!
kids today never gonna know the feeling of "I've only seen one episode of this show and THIS RERUN IS IT"
It’s hard to explain but tv was better when you couldn’t watch the show you wanted whenever you wanted to watch it and most of the shows were worse and the TVs were worse and the entire experience was worse, that’s when it was better
Guys will read "Naked lunch" but they never take a girl to "lunch" and they wonder why they never get to see her "Naked." Bro you're never going to get inside her "Burroughs"
I was told there was a Akagi cosplayer that kept haunting the mahjong area in the otakon game room, phenomenal
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
Dream of a lifetime to produce this one. Glad to have been in the trenches with @schmullus.bsky.social and @enginvir.bsky.social on it!
The Big O! One of the true mecha classics returns! Both seasons. Subbed & dubbed. Plus the 5.1 English audio for season 2 is here! Coming soon.
Stackin up another point on the road, @bostonlegacyfc.com keep fighting!!
Denver and Boston share the points 🤝

Mixing in a history of the development of modern manga with a mystery like this is a very unique idea. There’s been plenty of manga about making manga in contemporary times and some biographical ones like A Drifting Life about earlier times, but this one is certainly its own case.
Kurumizawas folly has made an utterly insane left turn at least twice. If you haven’t read it yet on the shonen jump app, now is a good time to start
Latest Kurumizawa's Folly touches upon the movement to outlaw the publication of comics and pornography because "they're a corrupting presence on youth and adults alike." The sentiment persists to this day, and is no longer a conservative only thing. It's "antis" & "irony-poisoned" advocates as well
2026's Otakon brought in 47,049 people, according to Otakorp, Inc. Tops the record-setting 46K for Otakon's 30th anniversary celebration in 2024. Had they counted that in the BULLSHIT industry standard way [turnstile, which as an attendee I do not care about], that'd be 141K. AX's turnstile was 422K
