Into anime and animation more broadly. Please excuse the drunk posts.

@pauseandselect Duuude!! Congratulations!!

@anime_gaku Thanks for the clarifications! I didn't realize there was more nuance to it.
That Adabana MV was super dope, and I'm glad you put it in.

I get this was written awhile ago, but it felt like a missed opportunity to not discuss that Yamashita interview from earlier this year. At any rate, it provided great insights to some of the questions I had in my reaction to that interview

It's my birthday today, so new article on the new (?) blog:
An examination of the web-gen, its animators, social dynamics, technological roots, philosophy and legacy... And an attempt at providing a sociological and academic framework for sakuga! ⬇️

I love the history and sources Matteo pulls from here, but I can't help but feel his use of Suan is off. Kutsuna's Adabana has such insignificant (even outright counter) anime-esque qualities that Suan would undeniably set it aside as not-what-we're-interested-in w/r/t anime

[Pandadice @Pandadice]

Also I know he was paraphrasing here (right?), but am I going crazy or is "full animation" (1s) literally not animation on 2s (limited animation)? Skipping a drawing every other frame is literally the distinction that makes 2s *not* "full."

[Pandadice @Pandadice]

anyone got that Bahi JD tweet from earlier this year where he was like "There was a 4th (female) webgen pioneer. Don't erase OO-san" and posted a pic of the 4 webgen pioneers on some event stage?
What was her name?

[Pandadice @Pandadice]

@haydensbakery Just checked and the ISML is still going apparently, though I haven't seen anyone mention it in a decade. Also looks like they broadened it out to male characters.

I'm the first person to tell anyone planning a Japan trip to skip Tokyo and spend that time elsewhere. But hot dog man, the Mitaka Ghibli Museum might be my favorite place in Japan. It's too perfect. I have to go back

[Pandadice @Pandadice]

@The_Weeb_Crew yoo, what, is The Storm out? Have you watched it? I've been waiting for that one!

[Pandadice @Pandadice]

Because, I mean, the conclusion is to stop putting anime on a dang pedestal. i.e., the opposite of someone dedicating 300 pages to elevate anime's status and illuminate its form...

[Pandadice @Pandadice]

If you swap out "anime" for "Nollywood" when someone's complaining about a dearth of worthwhile titles amidst generic high school settings and generic fantasy bloat then it really illuminates the absurdity inherent in so much anime discourse.

[Pandadice @Pandadice]

This is a point Suan touches on in Anime's Identity, but he never really expounds on it satisfactorily. Instead he tends to shy away from it when he's not outright undermining it. It'd've been cool to see him tease it out more, but I don't think he would've liked where it ends up

[Pandadice @Pandadice]

@alynokioku this is still a thing

[Pandadice @Pandadice]

@rpgmaker2000 wait is "sayolara" a thing? I've been abridging it "rarara" in my head this entire time.

RE: pmmm watching in 2011, you can dig up weekly reaction threads on old forums if you look around the net.

[Pandadice @Pandadice]

@sakaimii Hot dog this is brilliant!
There are so many ways you could've gone with it, too, if we're brainstorming funny generic usernames, but this feels simple and honest to the original.

[Cartoon Brew @cartoonbrew]

1/3 Exclusive: See Shinya Ohira’s animatic for the Emmy-nominated 'Star Wars: Visions' short “BLACK” evolve into finished animation.

We spoke with the director about animating a stormtrooper’s psychological collapse through frenetic movement, subjective camerawork, and jazz.

It's given a "TypeError: failed to fetch" error

MahjongSoul is crashing like crazy lately. It's one thing to crash at log in, but I had it crash 3 times in one game yesterday. I don't know if this is something on my end. I played earlier today without issue, only for it to crash now.

[Pandadice @Pandadice]

@pauseandselect looking forward to it!
