Another really good week of writing #SecretProject2 and I’m now into five digits!!

So we’re getting an English dub of #theramayana on day one which is great but will this impact how the film is consumed and understood in the west? open.substack.com/pub/ashabard...

Honestly given the choice, Epic! is my personal go to adaptation of The Odyssey.

I *think* it’s done. I still have an appendix to sort and edits to fix. But everything is now in the file for the #SecretBookProject!!!

I’m doubling down that GodzillaMinusZero has Shintō underpinning last seen in A Shinkai or Studio Ghibli film. Here are my predictions for the new film based on the new info and trailer: ashabardoneye.substack.com/p/godzilla-m...

I’m delighted to announce I’ve just signed a contract for #SecretBookProject2 Electric Boogaloo!! I’m editing SBP1 right now but I am so excited for this new project, due in February 2027!!!

With so many anime adaptations coming, I take a look at what these projects need to do well to succeed where so many others failed. Read my thoughts here: open.substack.com/pub/ashabard...

I review the 4k restoration of the classic anime #AngelsEgg: ashabardoneye.substack.com/p/angels-egg...

I’ve been working all weekend with what I think was mild IBS from stress. But look, we’re about to hit 10Ok on the #SecretBookProject. This is now the literal home stretch!!!

I’ve been unwell for a few days so that makes it the perfect time to sort out the #SecretBookProject. I pulled the original proposal which was 4.6k so now the word count is accurate!! The book is now coming together nicely!!!!
