"Attention! All nonessential personnel should leave the Lost Ground immediately." Scans of s-Cry-ed DVD Vol. 5 are now up on my IA I've never seen this show, but these names like 'Martin Zigmarl,' 'Radical Goodspeed,' and 'Biff' are extremely amusing to me. Link: archive.org/details/scry...

What else is there to say about The End of Evangelion?

I know #LetterboxdFriday was yesterday but movies have been really movie-ing for me lately.

in light of recent Crunchy events

Maddie's Secret Honestly? Kino. Very sweet, surreal, excellent production work (editing, lighting, sequences, mwah!) and not anything I could've expected. Really funny at times without compromising on heaviness or sincerity. I haven't seen many movies quite like it.

Chat, is this a recession indicator?

Just now noticing this! My Chemical Romance released a 4K remaster of the NANANA music video and... that's totally a Dragun from Shonen Warriors with a different paint job. How about that!

I really don't have that much broad experience with GitS beyond the two Oshii movies and a smattering of SAC but one thing I know is that they tend to make that lady v serious. Glad to see some lighter tones in this new one! It's promising! Motoko has earned a lil silly as a treat.

FWIW I saw someone at a small anime con in NC the other weekend wearing this.

The Mysterious Castle in the Carpathians A blind-buy on a friend's recommendation, and I can see why. It has echoes of stuff I enjoy like Hammer Horror, Monty Python, Young Frankenstein, etc. but it really didn't do much for me until maybe the last 15 minutes lol.

BlackBerry I probably wouldn't have watched this without seeing nirvanna the band, but it was great. I'm no longer interested in any more biopics unless they're directed by Matt Johnson, have questionable wigs, or feature an appearance by @prozdishere.bsky.social

"Lupin indirectly refers to the inspector.... but does he indirectly refer to YOU?" Hilariously wrong use of "elude" vs. "allude" in The Anime Source (Spring 2005) mini catalogue from FUNimation😆 Also features a handy "Lupin Movie Watcher" checklist~ 📖➡️ archive.org/details/thea...

Big Charlotte Anime 2026: Very... okay... however, we got to meet Mallorie Rodak, the voice of Frieren! She was super nice and put on a delightful panel. Then we had dinner with friends afterward, and that's enough for me~

"An honest man is forced to become a heartless killer, and an innocent woman is targeted for death..." Crying Freeman Vol. 1: Portrait of a Killer ADV Films DVD release➡️ archive.org/details/cryi...

Seeing My Chem, Pierce the Veil, Babymetal, and now Polyphia all in the next few months ahhhhhh MUSIC

Beautiful but deadly... for screening purposes only! Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Vol. 1 screener that I happened upon randomly. No idea how these were circulated or distributed back in the day, but it's pretty neat! ➡️ archive.org/details/gits...

Scans of Brigadoon DVD Vol. 2 are now on my IA page~ 🤖➡️https://archive.org/details/brigadoondvdvol2

The Mandalorian and Grogu You know, nothing changes, the status quo remains the same. No main character learns anything they didn't already know. The narrative isn't pushed forward. Just a big space adventure, and you know that's cool. Kept me entertained. There were some cool giant robots.

Backrooms Great, dreadful fun. It sets up and pays off themes and ideas beautifully without being too hand-holdy, and the fact that I'm saying that about something that could've been a gimmicky meme movie is a testament to the care and vision of the filmmakers. Glad Parsons was trusted to cook.

Me @ that AI generated thumbnail...

Phantom Quest Corps. Perfect Collection DVD, 2000 Pioneer release~ I watched the first episode while scanning the disk materials and it was a lot of fun. Looking forward to the HD re-release 👀 Now on my IA page 👻📖➡️ archive.org/details/phan...

I went ahead and joined Stoat in anticipation of Discord eventually imploding. Mutuals feel free to ad meeeeee

"Éclair and Lumiere lead the charge against Alv in the final battle for freedom, truth, and the future." I have never seen this show or know anything about it, but somehow I have a random volume 8! Seems very... French. Scans up on my Internet Archive page~ archive.org/details/kitt...

Obsession I went into this completely blind and man, a movie has not made me feel so terrible in a while. It was excellent. I am seated and sat for whatever Curry Barker has next. Inde Navarrette's acting game was off the charts.

Lollipop Chainsaw -Repop- My only experience with a Suda51 game was playing a few hours of Killer is Dead a decade+ ago without much context. I didn't vibe with it. This game was a lot of fun and is very video gamey (pos). It's dumb and crass and aged but I had a fun 5 hours with Juliet and pals.

The con is finally over so I can get back to regular movies! Obsession made me feel awful. Great movie! #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Croissant

During the Shino Kakinuma and Toshio Furukawa panel at Animazement, I asked Furukawa-sensei what it was like to return to Lupin the Third in Lupin Zero after having been away from the franchise for so long since he played Lupin in The Fuma Conspiracy (1/6)
