Long-time #anime fan, starting with the original US broadcasts of Astro Boy and 8th Man.
I present programs and panels at conventions like #penguicon.
I don't watch a lot of shonen anime.
I'm a superfan of #precure, an all-ages magical girl metaseries

A Sketchy Proposal, Or How Fans Hide In Plain Sight: Lauren Orsini recalls a sketchy-sounding partnership pitch, and how it played into the fact that most people don't realize that anime fans are pretty much everywhere, in all age groups, even those beyond the typical 18-25 demographic.

A Sketchy Proposal, Or How Fans Hide In Plain Sight
But often, the majority of anime fans are invisible. Even though I’ve interviewed anime fans in their 50s and 60s for my Anime Origin Stories journalism project, the median age at fan conventions like Otakon remains firmly in the 18-25 range.

A new Green Gables series is coming. Anne Shirley.
Given the enduring Japanese fandom for the books, the stunning 1979 series, and ongoing tourism to Prince Edward Island, will this be a series they don't dare mess up? I guess we'll see!

Nice bit of symbolism in #Precure ep 43.
Mayu's classmates beg her to make scarves they can give as xmas gifts.
Yuki chides them, saying it's impossible, and they should make scarves themselves, and wraps Mayu's head up like a mummy. (continued) #Anime

Anime history- here's a series on Tezuka's studio.
He's usually blamed for the abysmal pay that anime creators make because Astro Boy sold below cost.
But he retained copyright. He made money from every Astro toy and piece of bubblegum. And that was a LOT of product.

How Record of Lodoss War Influenced Anime and Tabletop Gaming

Started watching Wedding Peach (1995). 2 episodes so far. First impression is that it's fun and goofy, but it's got some good things going on. She's clever, doesn't whine and cry like Usagi. I like the #Precure narrative more- stepping up with no powers, saying "NO!", THEN the magic. #MagicalGirl

This carved vessel in the shape of a duck is carved from a single piece of crystal, and was likely used to hold oils or cosmetics for a wealthy Minoan or Mycenaean woman or an important religious figure.
