Sitting in the airport on the way to visit Montreal with @ianrw.bsky.social and attend Otakuthon. Sadly my usual airport meal is not on the menu this time. Must be a "breakfast" thing.

Nichijou, while fun, was not a good thing to start when half asleep.

Guess I finished Sarazanmai much quicker than expected. Guess I'll pull something else out of the pile and finish it after the trip.

After Roujin-Z got a release in the UK, I expected that to get a US rerelease soon afterwards yet it hasn't happened. Wonder what happened.

For those keeping track, this is every anime featured on Justin Sevakis' Buried Treasure/Garbage or Pile of Shame ANN columns that has never been licensed or has not received a release within the last 10 years and is currently OOP. Fun info if you want to try and guess the next AnimEigo license

Vacation off to a "great" start. Flight canceled, rebooked for later in the day. Fucking Air Canada.

Worked on live professional poker last night. Absolute dogshit television, though among the parade of baseball caps and shades to hide tells I appreciate this one player dressing as Doflamingo from One Piece as his personal intimidation tactic.

how i think i look in my underpants vs. how i actually look in my underpants

I picked this Nadesico volume at the bargain manga pop-up and discovered it held a little surprise...

Everyone else home, unpacked, back to work Me, in an anime shirt, still hanging around the convention center:

This is your fault.

I'm gonna need someone to Photoshop this into a silver Konami NES box layout

This website is going to break the day the theoretical Brain Powerd license rescue announcement happens

Back to School Tom@finalfuryk.bsky.social · 3d ago

Tired: “lol, Discotek keeps rescuing Bandai shows. Next thing they’re getting is Brain Powerd, rofl” Wired: “Discotek should license the Tomino masterpiece Brain Powerd.” Inspired: “Discotek should license the Kawamori masterpiece Earth Girl Arjuna.”

Discotek's panel yesterday did inspire the next item I picked from the pile. As good a time as any to rewatch Sarazanmai.

Well, gathered stuff for the trip in a few days. Will do actual packing tomorrow or Tuesday

Generative AI could not make the fever dream that is the Prince of Tennis.

@ianrw.bsky.social brought it up in @bunnycartoon.bsky.social that Discotek has now picked up all the Sunrise titles Sentai announced at Otakon 2013...except those two (and Betterman)

Think I've been to con room parties like this....involving Weiss Kreuz.

this is frying me

Since it was a quiet, not particularly busy Sunday afternoon (since I will be having a hectic time later in the week), decided to build some Gunpla backlog.The 3 Kingdoms one was particularly hard to do as its an old kit with more abstract instructions.

The Emissary ponders his orb.

Star Trek Corrected Captions@startrekcc.bsky.social · 3d ago

Figured I would build one of the Gunpla I had sitting around. Of course the SD kit I grabbed is an old one and the instructions leave a lot to be desired.

@vinnieave.bsky.social can you confirm?

RTL3 @ Home 2026@russelllatshaw.bsky.social · 3d ago

Confirming what I think we've always known: Gurren Lagann takes place in New Jersey

only thing i could think of seeing that damn face

Pal demo/prototype of FFX dumped today and I love the menu and thank you for playing screens I live for this shit

Magical girl fans!!! Shojo fans generally!! Word at the AnimEigo panel was that the Looking for the Full Moon sales have been kind of weak, amd if that doesn't change they probably will have to backburner licensing magical girl titles. 40% off is a great time to help those numbers!!!

AnimEigo@animeigo.com · 5d ago

At the MediaOCD store find AnimEigo titles on sale for Otakon until August 2nd! We even have a movie you can get on disc for $1! mediaocd.com/brand/animei...

When are we getting this scene in Kaiju Girl Caramelise???

Jet Jaguar is safe this year, but the clip rocks too hard not to play

Glad that @hyakushiki0087.bsky.social got a photo of this part of Ugly Giant Robots lol

…okay some times it’s people behind me saying “unfortunately” but close enough I should also note that after @hyakushiki0087.bsky.social and @bwprowl.bsky.social (& @pachi3k.bsky.social ??) started doing the King Gainer dance other people in the room in rows behind them also started dancing along.
