Originally from the Bronx, now residing Richmond. I'm an independent cartoonist and occasional animator/filmmaker.

At last, the first official teaser for my original kaiju project, REKIRA THE SUPER-MONSTER! Animated in Blender.

And yes, that's Rekira's new original roar (which was completed last year, after 15 years in the making)!

Go Nagai's Machinesaurer (left) vs. the evil Death-Cross! A promotion done by Tsuburaya Productions, I believe, for the magnetic toys based on Nagai's manga.

I still love this series! Wonderful characters, charming voice acting, memorable theme song, and iconic character designs by Stephen Silver, one of my favorite designers!

‘Kim Possible’ premiered 24 years ago today on Disney Channel.

The crab monster Kanix wreaks havoc in an episode of Osamu Tezuka's AMBASSADOR MAGMA (P-Productions; 1966)! The series' 60th Anniversary is on Independence Day of next month!

(Look carefully for the logo of the series sponsor, Lotte, on one of the buildings!)

今年６０周年の #マグマ大使 より新宿西口ロータリーで展開される怪獣 #カニックス と国際緊急出動隊の攻防戦。

新宿西口ロータリーは再開発で今はこの特徴的風景ではないそうですね。寂しいです。実際にその場に行って【テレビで見たアノ風景】と感慨深かったことが忘れられません。

[John Paul Cassidy @ryuuseipro]

@M3S0soic And gotten from a Japanese gardener, according to Seymour. Possibly a little reference to Japanese monster movies!

[John Paul Cassidy @ryuuseipro]

@FountainCartoon This was no doubt from when mainstream American animation was going for a Disney feel, even though the product itself is the furthest thing from Disney!

[John Paul Cassidy @ryuuseipro]

Interesting! I like this game! (I have it on the GameCube.)

And the graphics are improved as well!

[John Paul Cassidy @ryuuseipro]

Footage from DOGORA (Toho; 1964), along with the footage I posted before, which is unused footage, featured in the great video special, TOHO UNUSED SFX COMPLETE COLLECTION (Toho Video; 1986)!

この間ちょこっとだけフォロワーさんと話題になった #宇宙大怪獣ドゴラ のメイキング。

1986年に発売された【東宝特撮未使用フィルム大全集】からの抜粋で使われているのは再現ではなく1964年のオリジナルメイキング。

貴重な未使用映像、インタビューもあり東宝特撮ファンには楽しい逸品でしたね☺️

[John Paul Cassidy @ryuuseipro]

I loved this!

Jonti Picking/Weebl is one of the best animators from the UK.

[Lost Internet @LostMemeArchive]

In 2003, a Flash animation of dancing badgers yelling “badger” became one of the internet’s biggest early brain infections.

"Liquid Television" deserves more recognition during this current indie animation boom. One short film showcased on the program was "Technological Threat" by Bill Kroyer, Rich Moore, and Brian Jennings. It is a great cartoon that should be relevant today in an age of AI fears.

[John Paul Cassidy @ryuuseipro]

From this stage, I thought he looked like a mutated brine shrimp!

[Wikizilla @GodzillaWiki]

Destoroyah's base form, the Micro Form, is never actually shown onscreen in 「Godzilla vs. Destoroyah」, though official artwork of its design appears in reference books. The smallest form shown in the film is the Crawl Form, which is considerably larger than the Micro Form.

[ULTRAMAN Global @TsuburayaGlobal]

THE ORIGIN OF ULTRAMAN will make its international premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival on July 17.
The 60th-anniversary documentary brings the creation, legacy, and cultural impact of the original Ultraman to the global stage.

On this special day marking 60 years since its original airing, the festival will also screen ULTRAMAN’s first episode, “Ultra Operation No. 1.”

[John Paul Cassidy @ryuuseipro]

@eBkRbXJi7DaA9p3 Tomio Sagisu would’ve been too obscure in the US… (even though AMBASSADOR MAGMA, SPECTREMAN, and the first episode of LION MARU were brought here.)

[John Paul Cassidy @ryuuseipro]

I figured someone, even in Japan, would wonder why Guillermo del Toro dedicated PACIFIC RIM to Ray Harryhausen and Ishiro Honda, but leave out Eiji Tsuburaya, who, like Harryhausen, was the special effects and monster guy for Honda’s films!

[morinao @morinaojapan]

思い出した。『パシフィック・リム』で僕が不満だったところ。
本作は「レイ・ハリーハウゼン、本多猪四郎に捧げる」とクレジットされているけれど、なんでそこに円谷英二の名前がないんだ !?

[John Paul Cassidy @ryuuseipro]

@antilemonhelm Even though this was *before* GMK!

[John Paul Cassidy @ryuuseipro]

This is the best version of King Ghidorah throughout Japan’s Heisei dynasty! No other version in that timeframe comes close. It’s too bad Godzilla never fought this one. (The 1999-2000 Godzilla would’ve made a great fit.)

From REBIRTH OF MOTHRA 3 (Toho; 1998).
