Had an incredible (and emotional) time at @starandshadow.bsky.social seeing THE END OF EVANGELION on the big screen. To the guys & girls who run the place: please read my very passionate (and quite personal) post about the screening that I've put over on Instagram. Keep being awesome! 😁

Just finished a Season 1 rewatch and I'm off to see the Chainsaw Man movie: Reeze arc in cinemas this week. Can't wait to see Denji & Co's adventures on the big screen. #ChainsawMan #Cinema

I'm not a meme guy but occasionally I dabble. Felt the need to make this after Discotek's live stream at Otakon. It accurately represents the mood in our living room during the event. #Otakon #DiscotekMedia

It's been a crazy week already in Anitwitter and it's Tuesday. First the uncensored and near mythical version of the Fist Of The North Star movie is found and verified as still existing (Grrrr private collectors) & then Elon drops a weird Anime waifu version of Grok. What is reality?

One of the greatest things about my recovery from a long depression (besides the very obvious ones) is that I've thrown myself into my interests in a way I haven't since I was a teenager and in my 20's. I feel like there's so much to be excited about these days it's bliss. #Hobbies

I see McDonalds Japan is using Anime in its advertising Again. This time instead of original animation they're using nostalgic clips from 80's classics like Maison Ikkoku. Macross: Do You Remember Love? and Kimagure Orange Road. I just invented a name for this "McOtaku" 😅 shorturl.at/aEcC7

Just learned that a third party figure company is starting an unlicenced Gundam 1/6 scale figure line. This Sayla Mass looks awesome. Could be the beginning of a new collection right here. #Gundam #Figurecollection #MechaAnime #MobileSuitGundam #RetroAnime

Have just read that Mamoru Nagano's Mecha epic "The Five Star Stories" is getting an English release from Titan Manga in 2026. What is reality? Talk about unexpected. My buddy Ian and I reviewed the first volume of the Manga and the 1989 anime movie in Retro Mecha Podcast Episode 4 shorturl.at/A9qYo

Retro gaming fans who also love retro anime: The Macross II arcade game from 1993 is coming to both the Playstation Network store and Switch eshop on 10th July courtesy of the Arcade Archives series. It's a pretty decent sidescrolling shooter. #Macross #RetroAnime #Retrogaming

Wooo! A trailer for the 2nd film in the Hathaway trilogy dropped. The first one was great but it definitely felt like the beginning of something much bigger. Looking forward to taking a big old sniff of what Sunrise have been cooking.

Just participated in an Anime recommendation thread on Twitter to get people to watch stuff they might not otherwise. My pick was: Now and then, here and there. A very dark and poignant sci-fi TV series from 1999 (13 Episodes) Not for everyone but underrated in my opinion. A re-release is overdue.

Dear Bluesky. Do you ever get a song stuck in your head which also has an excellent cover that you like both versions of and you end up with both battling for supremacy in your mind? My head is currently alternating between The commodores version of "Easy" and Faith No More's.

The gulf between Twitter and Bluesky is nuts. I only just joined the other day and I've already interacted with more people in a few days than I have in weeks on Twitter. That City Hunter post I put on earlier I also put on Twitter. Here it's had 23 likes and 10 reposts and a comment. Twitter ZILCH.

I love it when old Anime references American Pop culture. One of my favourites is in City Hunter (Ep 12) when Ryo realises the guy following him bears a striking resemblance to a certain action megastar. The screen explodes into Ryo imagining him in one of his most famous films. #RetroAnime #80's

So one of my first experiences on BlueSky is discovering the most awesome account. Go follow @gunplamom.bsky.social She's a 70 year old lady who builds Gundams and she is way better at it than I could ever hope to be! This site keeps making me smile. #Gunpla #Gundam #Modelmaking
