Is it a hot take to say Lazarus was pretty OK?
2025 was a year for the Anime History Books. But how does its last season compare to the past two bangers? youtu.be/cBwBDX_-7PA
Update: I am disappointed.

@atsukocomedy.bsky.social America "The Escape Room of Countries" is a perfect metaphor. Especially today.

Ryan Barton is renting a small studio apartment in my heart now.
I have an Anime confession to make.
I have never watched Neon Genesis Evangelion...
I have watched so much anime - from DanDaDan to Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo. From the GOATs to the trash.
I just keep waiting to be in the PERFECT mood and keep getting cold feet.
Going to be hearing a lot of @erikaishii.bsky.social in a few months

I don't just talk about Anime. Sometimes I mourn what America has become.

I don't care how good your joke is. If you need an AI-generated image to make it, try harder.
Frieren and DanDaDan are absolutely going to sweep.

This is also the OP for Orb: About the Movement of the Earth. Highly recommend.
This season has a few great anime, but I find myself re-watching Frieren.

They had to have known people would compare this to Bebop.
Hope this doesn't become another FLCL Progressive.

I love anime, Tolkien, and grew up with Studio Ghibli.
And without that context, the end product is either worth less or just completely worthless.
It's like drinking fine wine out of an old soda can. Or like eating a Michelin-star meal off of paper plates.
Creations like this lack that context. And it feels like Hannibal Lecter wearing a mask made out of human skin.
So, while you might be able to emulate a story like this with AI, consider the context. How much more (or less) is it worth to you and the people enjoying or even (wait for it) PAYING for that art.
The Fellowship of the Ring is a story about war, written by a human who was living through WWII. What he wrote, and how he wrote it, changes when you consider that context. It becomes a part of the art and makes it worth more.
@zachsilberberg.bsky.social Yeah, that post RILED me up.
All stories, whether they are written by humans or an AI, are enhanced by their context. And we know that human beings place a value on context.
Also why you wouldn't pay the same for a Michelin-star meal if it was served on a paper plate.

Or in his case, maybe both?

I think it's important to remember, with everything extremely fucked up and dumb right now, that at the root of it, fuck fuck fucking fucking fuck.
