Nick, Nick, 🪿! 🔜 Fanime
@nicknickgoose
Software developer. Aging anime fan. He / him. I mostly tweet about anime, but also punk-adjacent stuff in the Bay.
The @store.crunchyroll.com is permanently going behind the paywall of Megafan subscribers. If you're not subbed, this is your last chance to shop there. Lots of weird shit still on there. A handful of vinyl is on sale, too. Here's my final haul from @crunchyroll.com, but I'll share some neat finds:
Here’s some thrift store pulls from last month. The Vangelis albums were fuckin’ 10¢ each! I don’t think I have any jazz mutuals on here, but Joshua Redman played on some Cowboy Bebop cuts.
I wasn’t privy to that meme until after the fact, but I sure liked Midler’s design
Never forget what this industry took from us. www.cnet.com/roadshow/pic...
L-Gaim has no language options - just a Japanese language track with forced English subtitles
Give a hoot, read a book ( while you still can at Thee Parkside )
Well I didn’t see Ringo Starr tonight but I got a yukaman in @riichicity.bsky.social. “It don’t come easy,” indeed.
Ringo’s comin’ to San Jose tonight… show looks sold out? He’s recorded a country album last year, I’d assume that’s what he’ll play.
I went and saw Belle and Sebastian at the Masonic tonight. $20 seats, $30 drinks. So glad these cats crossed the pond to come here.
Wild 7! Bobby’s in Deep. I would also go as far to say that Evangelion’s mechanical designs remind me a lot of 90’s street bikes
Barber of Seville at S.F. opera last night. Long ass play but incredible staging and full-camp performances that elevate writing which is still sharp 200 years later
I went to an anime convention in San Jose, California. It had a good swap meet. People would party in the park afterwards. Did you hear about “foot juice”?
Gonna have to commission some Miyu-ified fanart for the inner sleeve
After seeing Solo Leveling plastered all over Times Square, I am reminded of this incredible podcast from @jbetteridge.bsky.social and Miles Atherton. It sheds a lot of light on streaming habits and the data behind them!
@sv2captain.bsky.social & @masuyotobi.bsky.social are killing it as hosts for Anime OP “Name that Year”
So @media-blasters.com is soliciting suggestions for extras on Lady Battle Cop and @deathbombarc.bsky.social had a brilliant suggestion:
Please check out my pal’s @sv2captain.bsky.social Fanime Panel this weekend!
Is that this one or is there a new Queen animation out?
So I was chatting about this with people in the know on Discord and they pointed out that Tuttle’s operations are based out of Singapore these days:
Spinning some moldy used Showa anime OSTs before putting them in the sell pile. This one has the Sally the Witch OP on side A (not in clip) - never realized that was a ragtime tune.
“the guy who made a short film about a haunted box adapted Yatterman into a movie?”
I was curious about the "Studio Topcraft became Ghibli" narrative, so I tried looking at different staff across productions. It's messy - while certain directors and key animators came back between projects, there doesn't seem to be a regular core staff credited across projects... except for two:
