Samantha Ferreira Is Creating An Anime Mag @sam-animeherald.bsky.social · 1h

It's taken a couple of days to really gather my thoughts on this, but MAPPA destroying Sayo Yamamoto as they have is something I'll never be able to reconcile. She was a brilliant creator who deserved the world, but was ground into paste by The Anime Factory.

I pray for Manabu Otsuka's downfall.

Vrai Kaiser @writervrai.bsky.social · 3d

We're probably never going to see another Sayo Yamamoto anime, and that honestly breaks my heart more than I have words to convey. I feel so much anger on her behalf. Fuck MAPPA.

Animehunch Team: You’ve worked as a producer on many popular titles, including Black Clover and Fullmetal Alchemist. However, you were also involved with Yuri!!! on ICE. This is something fans are desperate to ask about. The planned movie, ICE ADOLESCENCE, was officially cancelled by MAPPA, which left many fans heartbroken as they loved the series dearly. We know this is a sensitive topic, and you may not be able to discuss it, but fans would be incredibly grateful for any insight you could offer as to what went wrong or why the movie was ultimately cancelled.

Hideo Katsumata: I can’t talk about the details, as that includes some very private matters. But if you ask whether it’s a creative or business issue, the reasons stem from the creative side. The main reason is that it couldn’t be made due to creative reasons. Since it was an original animation, the people involved—including the creators and the animation studio, MAPPA… among the creators, on the creative side, a situation arose where it just became impossible to proceed with production.

The dub is pretty bad, but this scene is great. #CrestoftheStars #anime

One of the few highlights of the Animanics was the song that laid why why Indigenous People's Say is the only day. Made me wonder how he even got into American History in the first place.

Since I'm a pervert, I was hoping they'd get the VSI cast to dub it.

Of course there’s no Funimation dub.

Not that this is really going to be a surprise to anyone, but the GKIDS Blu-ray for Evangelion 2.22 came in, and there's no Funimation dub in sight, only the Amazon/Dubbing Brothers one. Will update when 1.11 comes in if it's magically any different.

What I would like to see:

- bury Columbus Day
- celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day
- add a new, separate holiday: Columbo Day

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.
"
Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

Peter Thiel analyzes the Very Hungry Caterpillar:

"The caterpillar is christ-like in his rapacious need for food, in the same way as we desire and deserve wealth. The leaf is the anti-christ, because it signifies living simply, without demanding growth and profit. It is the death of capitalism."

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.
