The artwork of #MiraiNinja by Keita Amemiya which I have no idea what it was used for. Usual upscale/clean/retouch process applied.

ICYMI - "don't wanna regret", the original song for M&K PROJECT (aka MOBILE KNIGHT POLICE) is available on YouTube Music and iTunes!

Go give it a listen - the thing's a hard-boiled 80's flavored power ballad!

On the Precipice of Professional Anime Magazines: Animag In 1987 fans from the Bay Area published what was, for its time, the closest thing to a professional anime magazine in English.

Thanks to the efforts of @geraldawo.bsky.social the full run of Animag magazine can now be seen on the Internet Archive. I wrote a bit about the magazine's history and the time and place it was published: bit.ly/animag2

Today's the 20th anniversary of the podcast that got me started, R5 CENTRAL. Amidst the laser sounds & randomness, it was the show that literally got me to where I am today.

To celebrate, here's a quick look back. Happy 20th, R5. Until the next.

This actually explains why the movie version of the scene got played up even more than that TV version. I love it.

Also, fun aside: I was in the theater when the Zeta trilogy was playing at the Chicago Film Festival. When that scene ended, I heard the loudest applause behind me.
