I really miss the Shinbō x SHAFT years. They were really cooking. Great art direction. Maximum moé charm. French House producer Dimitri From Paris outta nowhere.

It’s such a vibe.

When your fave character only gets like 5 mins of screen time, but makes the most of that time by being perfect every second they’re on screen. 🩷🖤

I feel like Kamille would take care of business.

That’s our little Grimoire Gremlin!

This is the way. 😌☝️

“I’ll never forget that view.”

“I think I wanted to see the same view my master saw.”

So much *discourse* going on about Frieren that is frankly, really annoying, because it’s not a GOATED anime (though it is great, I ❤️ it, don’t get me wrong), but the takeaway of the series is perfectly encapsulated here. Go on a silly adventure, make a memory, you won’t regret it! It’s that simple!

It’s funny the last few Dunmeshi brand collabs I’ve seen over in Japan have featured Chilchuck looking max stressed. Hey Chilly, why u so stressed my guy?

lil dude needs a vacation like yesterday. 🥲

Subtitle: “that’s why I never abandon someone in need.”

That’s our Himmel! 💙

Hahaha, that would be amazing. lol

Did they make him MORE handsome somehow?
Himmel looksmaxxing in these memories, god damn!
😉✨

When Frieren is in 'Journey Mode' there's really nothing like it. It's when the show is at its most powerful. It truly feels like magic. Pastoral landscapes, Evan Call's phenomenal score, little character moments... I love it so much. 😭

Kono bangumi wa... 🍻

Chainsaw Reze 2nd viewing, and sure the animation does go hard, good job everyone, but this is the scene right here. Angel Devil 💔 my poor baby.

Frieren S2 has me excited. This trailer looks like a return to the wistful nostalgia and ruminations on time, memory and friendship that was the best part of S1.

A while back, I wrote about why this is Frieren’s best mode and how dang relatable it all is: www.kosatenmag.com/home/memory-...

God damn. Tearing up watching the damn trailer? Boy I’m not ready for this. 😭😭😭

If you’re a fan of cursed, queer situationships; check out the Santa Claus anime!

Seriously, it’s an amazing exploration of adolescence.

Got my Amuro and Kamille cels framed!

My little Gundam cel collection now has some 80s representation!

Oh, and there’s exclusive merch too. I finally got me a dancing’ Chilchuck acrylic stand and I am thrilled!

The Ryoko Kui/Delicious in Dungeon exhibition in NYC is super cool and if you’re in the city, and you’re a fan of the series, what are you waiting for?! Check it out ASAP yo!

Got a real nice comment on this piece about Gundam and Newtypes and why they’re important, and it got me all fired up about Gundam again.

I want YOU to be fired up about Gundam too, so read this thing I wrote! It’s good even if you’re not a Gundam head! I swear!

Trying to supercharge that Newtype-ness to make a soldier of war basically. Trying to take something good, exploit it and use it for evil. It’s why the cyber Newtypes all have a good heart deep down. They’re just normal Newtypes being forced to become instruments of war.

Cyber Newtypes are interesting right off the bat because of that translation. In Japanese the term is “kyouka ningen” which more closely means “enhanced human” and when you think of it that way, what they’re doing with cyber Newtypes is taking your basic, good, empathetic Newtype and…

Hey! Thanks so much for reading! I really appreciate your comments here!

Me not mentioning Zeon Deikun as the originator of the term is likely me just missing a bit of lore. I must not have realized he coined it first!

Now cyber Newtypes… hold on for next reply!

100%. It’s such a mess. Either just be pure spectacle (which could work) or actually build the story in meaningful ways to make the fights matter. The flashbackery is such a crutch. If that’s how you’re gonna try to get me to care, don’t even bother.

This is so insane that we’re really just gonna let Silicon Valley shitheads cook our planet like this… where’s AVALANCHE when you need them?

Can I go shopping at 'Boutique'?
It... looks pretty cool.
High degree of difficulty fashion,
but it all looks really fun to wear!
