My Criterion Collection sale pickups have arrived!

I haven’t actually seen Throne of Blood yet, but between Kurosawa and Shakespeare, what could go wrong?

It’s not on the SJ app yet so I’ll forbear from posting, but there’s a truly breathtaking sequence of panels in The Bugle Call volume 4

Thanks to this discovery, I’m back working my way through Oumagedoki Zoo.
It’s Igarashi from Oumagedoki Zoo!!

Apparently no matter how many times you read, it’s impossible to know about all the easter eggs in this manga.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA

I remain convinced that Amazon did not get permission to do this and as soon as the licensor got back into the office, some strongly worded emails were SENT
BANANA FISH no longer has an English dub on Amazon

B&N has select manga for 50% off for Cyber Monday. A lot of them are random volumes from the middle of a series, but some standout offers are the Promised Neverland boxset, and single volume items like The Shonen Jump Guide to Making Manga, Secret Reverse, and Four Lives Remain

Bakugo’s issue with Deku was always difficult for me to grasp, but with the help of all the characterization that followed, I can finally make sense of it…maybe, ha.
Short thread.

The pictogram puzzles on people’s clothes is one of the fun flourishes of One Piece. This one is easy enough for me to get—a rectangle that looks like a book (“hon”) makes this “honto dayo!”

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

🧵⬇️
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

This is a delightful example of lettering with what one's got. That stealth ル, lol.

B&N never ships this far ahead of release date. Apparently clearing out a preorder queue ahead of Black Friday is an exception.

When Bakugo first calls people “extras” it reads like a simple fourth wall break since the middle school classmates really are background characters. And now I’m questioning whether he ever really uses it in a way that’s detached from the fourth wall as a general way to put people down.

I wouldn’t call The Apartment (1960) a Christmas movie, but the holiday backdrop across the whole thing makes Christmas a nice season to watch it.

States that didn’t have a chance to be canonized as attack names in MHA are getting a second chance with CSM, what a time to be alive.

I like to think that All Might’s “Pump! You! Up!!” line means he watched SNL reruns while abroad in the U.S.

Before Midoriya’s impulsive action to save Bakugo impresses All Might, he had to make a different impulsive action that wasn’t received so well. In life, bending or breaking the rules seems to be the way to make real progress sometimes and the initial reaction probably won’t be pleasant.

I really like this interaction between Midoriya and the bystander after the opening fight scene. I’ve found that the people who don’t know your circumstances are often the ones who can do and say the most validating things.

Is kinda nice to see discussion around MHA turn positive again in time for the final season to wrap up

(Not like the last third or so of MHA doesn't have its problems, but they aren't any worse than what's normally the case for a Shonen Jump finale, and it still has some flashes of brilliance)

Got my gallbladder out this morning, but got up early enough to see the New MHA episode for a boost of courage. Recovery seems to be going well.

Kind of surprising to see that Horikoshi was thinking about a yellow cape for Deku this early on (chapter 84)

As usual, Sentai has some really good deals for Black Friday. This is a great year to pick up Run with the Wind!
