I wish we had gotten more Street Fighter anime projects.

This is embarrassing. I should know. I worked at Manga from January 2005 until May 2021. 😬

If you live in #America and you want to understand what the heck is going on in your own country it’s well worth following and listening to @simonmarksfsn.bsky.social daily updates.

I wasn’t sure if Dead Leaves and SF Alpha had reverted back to the committee members, but Manga did finance both projects, so perhaps they retained “World excluding Asia” in perpetuity.

#StandAloneComplex is one of the finest and most complete #anime series ever made. 52 fantastic episodes. Some are stand alone and others part of the complex #LaughingMan and #IndividualEleven narrative. The best thing Kamiyama-sensei has ever produced. Also the only anime owned by #Lionsgate!

You can’t make an omelette without murdering over a hundred innocent Iranian school girls. 🇺🇸

This made me laugh.😆

I’m back in 🇦🇺 and this is a country where white English colonialists committed genocide against most of the indigenous population. It’s a bit rich to hear fuckwits like this suggest the same is happening in Britain, a country with no indigenous population and a long history of colonial genocide.

There’s way too much “passable” anime being released. I worry about the greedbaga killing the golden goose.

But at least he’s our President.

It’s my favourite quote from any movie. I use it when I’m bantering over the net during tennis doubles. “What is winning?” 😆 Some opponents get the reference. Most don’t, and they think I’m weird. 🤷‍♂️ Their loss.

“But windmills are ugly and they kill all the birds. So what if I’ll be back on rat and turnips this time next week.”🤷‍♂️

Was that “lamentation” a deliberate reference? 😉

It takes a village to raise a democracy.

You forgot rain. 🌧️

You’re welcome.

Please give @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social a follow, and please visit the online bookstore he runs with his very cool sounding wife.
Together, we can get through all of this shite, if we trade with one another instead of the ruthless mega-corps.

Morning.

James is always very funny and accurate.

This is gross.

Meanwhile! In America…

At times of utter hopelessness and frustration, we need sardonic humour like this.

Things can get better. I think they will get better. Even the world’s biggest evildoers haven’t managed to defeat biology. It comes for us all in the end.

#America and #Israel did in fact bomb an elementary school in Iran in the first day of strikes. So far, neither country has admitted responsibility. That’s over 150 dead Iranian civilians. Who’s cheering now?

This is a much nicer echo chamber.

He’s a Nazi isn’t he?

Was it that guy who shutdown Gatwick during Christmas Eve 2018?

This isn’t really news is it? Every #Doraemon film in the modern era has opened at #1 in Japan. It’s like reporting that it’s raining in Ireland today… again.

Man! I just published a substack in Animec and now this. 🤷‍♂️
