Cowboy Bebop had a great cast though, that much they nailed.

I'm excited to announce that today I'm starting publication of a silly little web novel project called—

"Despite My Fear of Heights, the Space Princess Still Loves Me!"

there's an economist who said if you fly a lot and don't miss at least one flight a year you're wasting too much time in airports

I agree with him but I also have started arriving with enough time that I no longer board sweaty anymore

Today's the last day for early prices for DAiCon at UC Davis later this month -- hope to see many of you there!!

Variety's anime coverage has gotten quite good, but even so, they're more likely to cover something referred to as "anime" if it's being produced in the US.

I see we've reached the point in the anime streaminf wars where companies aren't even bothering to announce when they have things considering the only reason we even know Hulu has this was someone finding it on their search engine.

yeah

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones (GBA, 2005)

I land when you leave 💀

Can't wait for it!!!

who am I seeing in Tokyo next week for Anime Japan?

I don't change my opinion on anything unless I get new information

Japan's home video market has completely tanked. There's very little interest/revenue in it anymore.

it's not a threat to the streaming business, but if you can hire 3 more people to make home video releases or 3 more people to increase streaming subscribers, the opportunity cost is clear as day for leadership not consdering the bigger picture

being a 360 brand is great and supports publishers

when I was a child, I thought everyone who hated the water temple was a coward

Give them all to me

It's perfectly reasonable from strictly a streaming POV. You'd make more money by investing more on high margin streaming than a people-hour and COGS-heavy pursuit like home video

So then we just shouldn't give streaming companies rights that they don't have any incentive to do anything with.

Bootleg streaming has lots of "illegal" forks from disgruntled ex-staff

Second this

The growing North American anime fandom was getting mainstream media attention by the mid-90s, with the Sci-fi Channel heading to Anaheim to ask a question: why are y'all so fascinated with Japanese animation and comic books?

A neat peek at Anime Expo in 1994.
