I never got the chance to do this on Twitter so I’m excited to try this here!
2025 completed media thread. Here I’ll log all my finished anime, TV seasons, films, manga volumes/arcs, games etc. for 2025!

I do not “stream,” I do not “download,” I do not “torrent,” I do not “pirate,” I view movies IN THEATERS or ON HOME VIDEO as intended and if it’s not available in theaters or on disc I KILL MYSELF

I would love to support official streaming more often, if only every megacorp in the game wasn’t addicted to shoving AI down our throats and hoarding IPs without releasing them.

I know I’m preaching to the choir here but wow Crunchyroll’s holiday sale is crap. So sad and pathetic that this is what the Rightstuf holiday sale has turned into. How do you let big retailers like Walmart and Amazon sell your own products at a better discount? Wow 30% off select items! Total joke.

Good lord Facebook is so terrible for engagement. Share a link here and I get likes/reposts in minutes despite having a fraction of the followers compared to my friend list. I’m starting to subscribe to a conspiracy theory that tech bros suppress writing/art because they want that space themselves.

Time to feel old as @mmjdanny.bsky.social takes a look at a title that was certainly part of a popular craze at the time. Monster girls!

It's been a full decade but MonMusu is still kinda unmatched in the ecchi harem comedy genre. Spent a good while writing about why I still love monster girls. Makes me feel too old!

Resurrected my blog to talk about the cinema-fication of TV. Am I the only one tired of feeling like TV seasons now are basically excessively long films broken into 8 parts?
TV is Trying to Be More Like Movies. That’s Not Good.
Bigger budgets, shorter seasons, and longer wait times between them.

We are living under an aspiring fascist regime that has not yet fully consolidated. This is not difficult to understand unless you get paid to muddy the waters.
If we were living under fascism, none of you would be here daring to post things. You'd be erasing your social media accounts and keeping your head down; you'd know that peacocking your faux-bravery on a network would expose you to being disappeared.
You have no idea what "fascism" really means.

the regime is zip tying toddlers and ripping them away from their mothers unclothed... calling it fascism upsets this neo-con.

Reminding myself constantly that it’s okay to talk about fun stuff too. One tactic this administration uses is to exhaust you with a deluge of negativity. Every day it feels wrong to shitpost when the president is acting like a dictator.
But you must give yourself breathing room lest you burnout.

Any solution now is going to be long & difficult. There was a super-easy solution -- just don't let the guy win the election -- but everybody had other priorities, I guess, so here we are.

This is why I don’t particularly care about the accusations of Bluesky being a progressive echo chamber. Could there be more diversity? Sure but at least I know the people here are real and not Nazis either. They also don’t recycle the same viral posts over and over to engagement farm.
Every time you ask someone on here why they hate twitter it's usually because of some horrible fascism or because the site scrapes their art for AI and every time you ask someone on twitter why they hate it here it's because of epic heckin cringe posters

One thing I miss about Funimation is their little birthday shoutouts on their social media. Going through my Facebook memories I saw today is Kate Oxley’s birthday.
Got me thinking how much of a shame it is we don’t hear much from her these days in anime outside some reprisals of minor characters.

I’ve seen 7 episodes of LORD OF MYSTERIES now. Does it ever get more coherent and less convoluted? All of the hype kind of eludes me so far.
