Tomorrow is Digimon Day, and for once I’m prepared. 🔥 🦖 🔥 It’s the first of a BRAND NEW VIDEO SERIES all about Digimon Adventure, now uploading for patrons tonight and premiering for everyone else on YouTube tomorrow night. Been hard at work on this for years and I can finally share the results!
Anime Expo is over! You may return to camp until the next hunting season.
Do You Remember Love? Minmay remembers! The long-awaited US premiere today was almost kneecapped by a technical issue: a half-second of delay reverbed ALL the audio. But they did fix it JUST in time for the Climactic Song (and then the glitch returned lmao). Macross can’t catch a break!
this doing numbers so I gotta reshare my favorite candid picture I’ve ever taken at an Anime Expo, formerly lost to Twitter. the Aesthetic
hey weebs, how’d you like a TWENTY SIX DOLLAR cookout sandwich with no sides? 💀
another most excellent Junko cosplay! she’s got her popcorn and she’s ready for the show
Everything old is new again. Hana-Kimi and Ouran were huge back when I was in high school, but we didn’t know what tboys were yet! I know more than one fan from my high school days who transed eventually. Things have changed for the better—the Gen Z kids know what’s up. COME OUT ALREADY, MIZUKI. 🥚
The Hundred Line cosplay! I think Eito is greato—say, what’s on those shirts…?
Alright alright, we’ve gotten our Serious Philosopher takes on Ghost in the Shell from Mamoru Oshii and Kenji Kamiyama, but it’s finally time for original recipe Goofy Pervert GitS.
I will never tire of Kinger cosplays, the more arts n craftsy, the better.
Checked out the premiere of Abel Gongora’s new anime adaptation of Jaadugar, about a young Muslim “witch” escaping the invasion of Genghis Khan. Really incredible work, Science Saru remains GOATed. I’ll definitely be watching the rest of this season along with the gay mermaid show “Goodbye, Lara”!
I heard you like gachapon machines, so we put gachapon machines in your gachapon machine so you can play a gachapon to win more gachapon machines.
They’ve been looping the same 90-second clip before this Chainsaw Man stage show panel for the past half hour, so the crowd has turned it into a bit. There’s a 2 second pause before it loops where ppl pretend to be deflated then cheer madly when it restarts. Staying for this crowd’s sense of humor.
This trio used to welcome us all to AX freely, but at long last, they have been jailed for their crimes.
I think this exhibit is an ad for an (educational?) installation inside of a mobile game I’ve never heard of, but it was very pretty and neat to walk through!
I have a distinct memory of being only two seasons into Jujutsu Kaisen and thinking “this is the most convoluted worldbuilding I’ve ever seen this early into a shonen jump and i am lost”. Cut to today when I see THIS inscrutable thing in the Anime Expo exhibit? What is HAPPENING in that manga???
“Meet me at the surreal pile of CRTs that makes you disassociate.” “OK bet. Uh, which, hang on, which uh…”
There’s tons of Turbo Granny at the con! I am high key a Turbo Granny fan, she’s my favorite DANDADAN character.
What?! These are adorable?! Which one will I get? The key to winning gachapon is to pick a machine where you like them all.
Oh jeez, I walked past the TADC cosplay meetup: a sea of purple ears!
Nifty dolls to get for the most devoted Maduka Meguca fan in the world. Oh man, I hope Homura has that Kyubey-head purse in the new movie, that would be so sick.
