My most 'Boomer Take' is that fast food menu signs that stop showing the menu to show you a commercial are a legit step backwards. I want a milkshake, I want to know what flavours you have, why did it change to a chicken sandwich wallpaper while I was reading it???

Hahahaha NO. Bypassed that shit with the quickness. Thanks Tailscale.
Made it to the airport to head home from another amazing Otakon! Can’t wait to do it all over again next year
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.
Here's a peek at one of the little upgrades I gave to Toradora's subs. The eyecatches often have a rotating element to them, so why not duplicate that with the English logo too? So I did:
Otakon was a tremendous, exhausting, sweaty hug. It’s my favorite con for a reason. So much love in one place. Now I sleeeeeep
--to or already does look forward to what you have to say about whatever it is you think is cool, and if it's not now then make sure one of those people is you, too. Praise the Lord for the opportunity I have to work with the good people at Discotek 🤝
--I met some great people, I uncovered a lot of new information and material, and ultimately I made it as associate producer of an official home video release Now, that's not going to be a realistic outcome for everybody, but your voice being heard is. And that's key. Someone out there is going--
I've been told by a couple of people over the past twenty years to stop talking about The Big O--but I didn't. Instead I made five? mega-threads on it and watched it 15 times and collected almost everything that exists and made a website about it. And because of that I made some terrific friends,--
As a reminder, please always be your cool, unique self and talk about and write about and post about and dress up as and collect that thing you love. Be respectful to others and balance it appropriately in your life, but be your own voice behind something you think is cool
People at Otakon: ratings have finally been enabled for panels in the guidebook app. They turned them on so late I'd bet most people won't be using it, so now's a good time to rate the panels you went to!
Like the Gavan mask a few years ago, I was technically wearing a hint yesterday 😛
Sometimes, the only option is pushing the subtitle renderer to the brink.
The subtitles on this show can be a bit crazy. A few examples.
I'm thrilled to finally be able to announce that I was approached by Discotek *last* Otakon to help with this release--a true, honest-to-goodness dream come true It's gonna be a good time, a SHOWTIME
Watch out for falling skyscrapers? Why? Because it's SHOWTIME! The Big O!
I am so excited to be co-producing Big O with @ashuraou.bsky.social It’s my favorite anime of all time and I really wanted to do everything possible to make it the best it could be. And part of that is thanks to @enginvir.bsky.social’s invaluable assistance with production.
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.
Just an hour until the AnimEigo & MediaOCD panel at Otakon 2026! Get to panel room 5 if you're at the con! We'll have announcements on social media at the same time!
Autographs today include yet another on my GQuuuuuux print, this time Simba Tsuchiya, JP voice of Shuji, which means I now have both English and Japanese VA for Shuji
Discotek days are great because for weeks you'll get them posting stuff like this with "there's a clue to a big release here!" and then a week later they'll reveal "it was for Digimon Frontier on Blu-ray because several characters in it wear hats."
A few years back, I wrote about the Mamoru Oshii-shaped connection between Urusei Yatsura and Tachigui for @discotekmedia.bsky.social’s newsletter… And it’s just emerged from your inbox and onto the MediaOCD blog as part of my new column—Beside Myshelf! More to come! mediaocd.com/beside-myshe...

What does Lum have to do with a bunch of dine-and-dashers? The secret's in the Mamoru Oshii sauce.

can't believe Marvel has fired its first Japanese EIC to replace him with a white man
I really can't get over how hilarious this closing line from CR's email about the store changes is. You can't wait to show me? But you're already hiding the "new shopping experience" (stupid buzzword-y description🤮) from me because I guess I don't pay you jackasses enough as it is!
We'll sell you all the anime you want. We even have generous rewards points for discounts on future orders. No membership fee required to buy. Because that'd be CRazy. mediaocd.com
If ANN were to put together a handy guide of where to buy your anime/manga/merch from specific anime-focused retailers, would that be useful to you? What places would you like us to include?
Remember when everyone had access to RightStuf at no cost, and if you chose to give them an extra $18/yr, they gave you a discount that was worth not only that $18 if you bought even semi-regularly, but easily worth even more in savings over the year? Now it's "oh, you want in? Pay us an extra $48"
I only have a Fan membership, which means that I will not be able to access this store. I would have to pay an extra $4 a month / $48 a year.
never forget what they took from us
