Ken Leung, we SPEAK your name.
Genuinely one of the most underrated actors working right now.
This should’ve been his moment.
This should’ve been the time to recognize his work on INDUSTRY.
What a fumble.
Rest in peace to the woman behind Kiki’s Delivery Service 🕊️
Akiko Hayashi, the legendary Japanese picture-book author and illustrator, passed away at the age of 81. While anime fans may know Kiki’s Delivery Service through Studio Ghibli’s 1989 film, Hayashi was the artist behind the illustrations of the novel, giving readers one of the earliest printed images of Kiki and Jiji before the story became an anime classic.
Hayashi was best known for her warm, delicate portrayals of childhood in books like Miki’s First Errand, Good Evening Mr. Moon, Aki and the Fox, and There’s a Hippo in My Bath! Her work captured small emotions with rare tenderness: a child’s nervous first step, a quiet moment under the moon, or the courage hidden in everyday life.
Her illustrations helped shape the visual memory of generations, from picture-book readers in Japan and Korea to fans who later discovered Kiki’s story through Ghibli.
Rest in peace, Akiko Hayashi 🌙
Being in class while this happened and having another student raise his hand and say “Professor, the former prime minister has been shot” LMFAOOOOOOOOO
RIP Tony Rayns. Every cinephile encounters his writing at some point, and it’s shocking how his reviews/blurbs are some of the only meaningful words you can find on countless Asian films. Here’s a clip from Seo Won-tae’s film on Tony where he says he loves 간장게장 (soy crab).
This one specific Nancy strip is the subject of one of the best books about visual media that you could ever read. It's modestly titled "How to Read Nancy," but studying it will deepen your ability to read all visual art, from the fine to the profane

baby anthy in this scene here can be likened to the beating heart of an organism. the heart is a vital structure that keeps an organism alive. similarly, anthy's perpetual suffering was the key that allowed akio to be powerful, in many ways, in ohtori
@chibicheekss i’ve just been telling superbuy to mark my doll packages as not kid/ toy related and they’ve been doing it, so far they’ve used “collectibles”, “parts”, and “ornaments” and that’s all worked
